- Q. See question above. I have another Shailah. The República Dominicana was the only country that welcomed Yehudim during the Second World War. The president then was ready to accept as many as one hundred thousand, as he announced and was the only country willing to do so. Unluckily only about a thousand arrived.
Yet, since it was the only country that opened and accepted publicly to receive and save so many Yehudim and as far as I know, no recognition was ever given to them, should we now the survivors gather together and make a public act of recognition ant thanks for them?
A. It may be proper to dedicate a propitious day to remember the above unique act of kindness to our people and recognize their courageous and unique brave action. And invite the correct government representatives to encourage the good will of others to our nation.
