Yaroslava Levitska, a Ukrainian who was the last Righteous Among the Nations, died in Israel at the age of 91.
During the Holocaust, as a child, she helped save Jews in the Lviv area, secretly delivering them food and medicine.
In 1989, Yaroslava Levitska, her mother Katerina and her grandfather Oleksandr were recognized as Righteous Among the Nations. This honor is awarded by the Yad Vashem Memorial Complex to non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust.
In 1995, Levitska immigrated to Israel, received citizenship and settled in Haifa, where she lived for over three decades. Her story is described in Maya Klinger-Cohen's book Only Red Candies.
