摘要：The expression of “Righteous among the Nations” is nowadays frequently referred to even by historians or social scientists1. But this current use has not been put into perspective. There has been no study or analysis of the creation of the expression which refers to the institutional title. Rather than sustained studies, there have predominantly been opinions on the matter2. In his study of the “American Experience of the Holocaust”, the one main author to attempt analysis, Peter Novick, denounces what he calls the “institutional use of the commemoration of Righteous Gentiles” which aims to stigmatize the “unrighteous majority” and more largely the non-Jews as a whole3. Mostly because it is the only extant analysis, this approach illustrates the need for a complete study of the genesis of the title, with special attention to the “intentions” at work in its institutionalization. This article aims to answer these two questions.
