Thanks to the efforts of 13-year-old Gertie Harris, Ho Feng Shan‘s name has been added to the Illinois Holocaust Museum’s Fountain of the Righteous. The names of Hipolit and Franciszka Gorski (Poland), Jozef and Stefania Macugowski (Poland), and Jean and Josine Opdebeeck (Belgium) were also added.
(Not to spoil a good thought with cynicism, but I wonder why his name wasn’t listed previously. Chiune Sugihara was on the original design.)
