Many of the world’s religions share beliefs about the importance of treating other people well. One of these shared beliefs is the golden rule. In the collection of Jewish teaching called the Talmud, this rule is stated as “The things you hate should not be done to others.” Christianity’s Book of Luke in the New Testament states, “Do to others what you would wish them to do to you.” Islam teaches, “You are not a real Muslim until you want for other people what you want for yourself.” The Hindu Mahabharata states, “Do nothing to others that would cause you pain if they did it to you.”

In 1953 the Israeli Parliament created Yad Vashem, a memorial to the Holocaust and a center for Holocaust-related research. The center was authorized to honor Gentiles (non-Jews) who had risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. To be considered, a person must have helped to save the life of at least one Jew from Nazi persecution and taken action in spite of danger or difficulty. As of mid-1997, Yad Vashem had recognized over 13,000 such individuals. Each received a medal inscribed with the words, “Whoever saves a single life, saves the entire world.”
