There were many people who rose up, and helped the refugees in many different ways. Some of these people where famous before they helped out, while others were not well know until after their heroic acts. Two of the most famous people were Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Winston Churchill. Eisenhower, was the supreme commander of the Allied forces and was in charge of coming up with multiple plans to help free the refugees.======

Of course, there were regular civilians who played a key role also. One of these people was Miep Gies. She was the person who housed Anne Frank and her family. She also discovered and preserved Frank’s diary. Another person who helped the refugees was Raoul Wallenberg. Between January and December 1944, he issued passports and housed many Jews. Another person who did a great deal to help refugees was Chinue Sugihara. He helped many refugees by giving them visas so that they could leave their countries. Aristides de Sousa Mendes issued 30,000 passports free of charge to refugees.

All of these people came from different places and backgrounds, but they all had something in common. They all wanted to help. Some of them did it because they had a sense of morality, some because they had a relationship with someone who was directly affected, and others were adamantly opposed to the politics of the Axis powers. But, all of them decided to make a difference and do something to help. Without them, many people’s lives would have been different. Prime Minister Churchill and General Eisenhower By: AJ Topps
