International Jewish Bravery Quiz
Official Award Medal, 1988 5748

The Quiz on Jewish Bravery during World War II was first held in Jerusalem on the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day, 1986. Among those attending were the President of Israel and the leaders of Yad Vashem, Lochamei HaGetaot, The World Organization of Jewish Fighters, and The Jewish Agency. In view of the encouraging response, an additional quiz was held in April 1988 in Poland, upon the ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto on the 45th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. Thousands of Jewish youngsters from around the world participated after taking part in a "March of the Living." The participants were later flown to Israel to take part in Israel's 40th anniversary celebrations.
