A hero dies

Ivan Vranetic, a Yugoslav partisan died at age 84. He was honored for saving Jews in Croatia during the Holocaust, and was a leader of a memorial group honoring other heroes from World War II. After the war he moved to Israel where he married one of the women he saved. More than 22,700 non-Jews have been honored for risking their lives during the WWII.

Ivan Vranetic, was buried last Thursday in Tel Aviv.
