Ellicott City Man Accepts Holocaust Award for His Mother
posted 11:26 am Thu September 06, 2007 -
It's the first time the award for non-Jewish rescuers is being presented at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington.
To date, nearly 22,000 people have been recognized with the award.
Nikolay Zamoroko of Ellicott City, accepted the award for his mother.
Yevgenia died in 2001.
Zamoroko says his mother was modest and wise - and totally devoted to her students.
He says it came as no surprise that she would help Spivak go into hiding.
Israeli Ambassador Sallai Meridor says the rescuers who stood up against evil are part of the heritage of the Holocaust.
