Mirjam Pinkhof (Rescuer) Mirjam Pinkhof was born on December 5, 1916 in     Holland. She was born to a Jewish family. During the holocaust she was part of the youth Aliyah which rescued children. She had to find family’s that were willing to take in children that she was rescuing. She rescued over 300 Jewish youths. She is a rescuer because she put her life at risk so that she could save the children and bring them to safety. Each night she slept in a different place so that she doesn’t get caught. One impact that she had was that if she hadn’t saved the children then they wouldn’t have a chance to live and go on with their life.
