We require testimonials of survivors rescued by Gilberto Bosques

The process for requesting the recognition of Gilberto Bosques as a “Righteous Among the Nations” honoree to Yad Vashem is laborious and stringent. One of the major hurdles to receiving this title is acquiring testimonials directly narrated by survivors. In this case it’s even more difficult as most of the survivors have since passed. Therefore we are also looking for testimonials from relatives and close friends of both the survivors and Gilberto Bosques to properly document his actions.

If you or anybody you know was saved by Gilberto Bosques’ actions, please contact us now and foward them this page so that they can provide us with the documentation we need to make sure he is given the recognition he deserves!

If you don’t want to share your testimony with other people, please indicate it in your correspondence.
