Foxman, ADL National Director and a Holocaust survivor. "We can only speculate how many countless innocent lives were spared by the untiring efforts of this one compassionate individual."Established in 1987 to honor rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust era, the ADL Jan Karski Courage to Care Award, was presented to Sheptytsky's great nephew, Professor Jerzy Weyman, who accepted on behalf of his family.
