This made me cry: Today at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, 92-year-old Melpomeni Dina Gianopoulou met 40 descendants of the Jewish Mordechai siblings, whom she and her two sisters hid in their home near Thessaloniki, Greece during the Holocaust. "Now I can die quietly," she said. 
Melopmeni is reunited with Sarah Yanai and Yossi Mor, two of the five Mordechai siblings who lived in her family's home for two years during the war. After the hiding place was discovered, the sisters helped the Jewish family flee into the mountains and provided for them there.
Melopmeni embraces one of Mor's grandchildren, an officer in the Israel Defense Forces. This may be one of the last reunions of its kind, as the numbers of both Holocaust survivors and rescuers dwindle.

Greek Jewry was decimated by the Holocaust. At least 80% of the country's Jewish population was wiped out by the Nazis, who went to great lengths to round up Jews throughout the Greek islands. 94% of the Jews of Thessaloniki, which once had a Jewish majority, were murdered.
