Among the names Yad Vashem honours as Righteous Among the Nations is Gennaro Verolino.
The record lists Gennaro Verolino as Italian archbishop (1906–2005).
Gennaro Verolino was born at Naples in 1906. His recorded nationality is Italy.
By occupation Gennaro Verolino was catholic priest and catholic bishop - which is the point worth holding onto: the rescuers were not a special class of person.
Rescue during the Holocaust was not a grand gesture but a sequence of small, repeatable risks taken over months or years.
Recognition: Righteous Among the Nations (2007) and Per Anger Prize (2004).
Gennaro Verolino died in 2005, aged 99. The people saved, and their descendants, are the part of the record that continues.
