UHM, which ran the contest in 12 countries around the world, seeks to honor and provide support and medical care for "the righteous of the world" -- the thousands of non-Jews who saved Jews during the Holocaust.
While many of the names, such as Oskar Schindler and Raoul Wallenberg, are well known, UHM also seeks to honor and provide for the thousands of people who remain unknown.

The agency, which is seeking donations and support, can be reached at (415) 567-5082 or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
