The Heroism of Ivan Vovk
A plaque was erected at the site of a school in Nikopol, Ukraine, where Ivan Vovk and his wife taught. He hid a fellow teacher, Sara Bakst, and Sara’s mother and nephew, who were all Jews, over a three-year period when the Germans occupied Nikopol in 1941. In 1998, Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, named Ivan and his wife “Righteous Among Nations.”
