Dutch couple receive same honour as Oskar Schindler

Today in Brisbane, a Dutch couple were honoured for their work helping to protect Jews during the Holocaust.

Jacob and Klassje Van Der Haar were posthumously recognised as Righteous Among the Nations. Oskar Schindler is another recipient of the same honour.

Dr Tibor Shalev Schlosser, the interim Israeli Ambassador to Australia, was in Brisbane to present the award to Jacob and Klassje’s family on their behalf.
