Ewa Ligia Zdanowicz one of dozens of elderly Poles who helped save Jews during World War II celebrated and praised for their heroism at a lunch in Warsaw, Poland, Sunday July 15, 2012. The meeting, over a kosher lunch Sunday in an upscale hotel, comes amid a growing appreciation in Poland for the thousands of people who risked their lives to help Jews during the brutal six-year-long Nazi occupation of Poland. Such people, almost all of them Roman Catholics, deny that they are heroes and say they only did what needed to be done. (AP Photo/Czarek Sokolowski)
