"U.S. nun who started Holocaust seminars gets award from Yad Vashem", Catholic News Service, 7/3/07:

A Catholic nun from Pennsylvania is the first non-Jew and non-Israeli to receive Yad Vashem's Award for Excellence in Holocaust Education.

A native of Greensburg, Pa., Sister Gemma has been living in Israel since 1975, and she approached Yad Vashem with her idea in 1987 in response to Pope John Paul II's call to recognize the significance of the Holocaust.

"(Sister) Gemma is one of the gentlest souls I have ever met," Ephraim Kaye said. "She has tremendous humility, modesty and intelligence."

Good work, if you can get it. But, the pictures tell the story. Ironically, commentary has no place.
