The story of Moshe Bejski, the man who, saved by Schindler, took care of his savior for the rest of his life and worked hard to rehabilitate him in the eyes of those who accused him of stealing the factory from the Jews. Moshe Bejski, Judge of the Righteous, was the founder of the Garden of the Righteous of Israel and found about 20,000 of them. In a lengthy interview, he recounts the passages of his life and how in the course of his experience his assessment of the good and who deserves to be named “righteous” changed. It was Moshe Bejski who first introduced, after a genocide, the urgency of remembering those men who have done good through their actions. Through documents, archive images and the testimonies of survivors and descendants, we retrace some of the stories of those who tried to save Jews during the Holocaust, even risking their lives. And how, at times, their election as “righteous” was controversial. The task of “trying the righteous” in recent years has been entrusted to the Yad Vashem Commission, of which Moshe Bejski has been president for thirty years. Its greatest question was to find the moral criteria for defining the righteous, a task now entrusted to the new chairman Mordecai Paldiel and the new members of the Commission.
