JERUSALEM: Eyes brimming with tears, 92-year-old Melpomeni Dina Gianopoulou was reunited on Sunday with Jewish siblings she had helped hide from Nazis in her native Greece during World War II.Advertisement"We were hidden in her house. She saved all my family. Six persons ... you can't imagine how dangerous it was for her, for her family, to keep us all," she added.
Mor said their situation was"deteriorating" in the mosque, especially that of his small brother Shmuel, who had fallen ill."They put him on their shoulders and they walked to the hospital in the middle of the night. It was quite far," Mor said. In all, more than 20 people, young and old, stood in front of the white-haired lady before hugging her, one by one.In 1994, Yad Vashem honoured Melpomeni and her sisters by granting them the title of"Righteous Among the Nations" given to those who helped save Jews during World War II.
