Gina Cipolli

Gina Cipolli, a 96-year-old Italian, has been honored as a 'Righteous Among the Nations' by Yad Vashem for her courageous actions during the Nazi occupation of Tuscany. At just over 13 years old, she risked her life to save three Jewish families from deportation by hiding them with her family in their home. Despite the danger, Gina and her family showed extraordinary bravery and compassion, believing that helping those in need was simply their duty. She is a testament to the enduring human spirit and the power of empathy in the face of adversity.
