Marshall Cohen writes: “I was a guest on April 22 at Adas Israel Congregation, where the memories of Waitstill and Martha Sharp were honored for their rescue efforts of children during WWII. Remarks were made by their grandson, Artemis Joukowsky III. Artemis’s grandparents were honored at a ceremony in 2006 as the second and third Americans designated as ‘Righteous Among the Nations’ by the Yad Vashem Memorial in Israel. They were then honored with the Congregation’s ‘Garden of the Righteous’ award. Ken Burns’s documentary film, Defying the Nazis: The Sharp’s War, was shown and discussed by Artemis along with personal recollections about the life and times of his grandparents.”
