Roza Sober-Dragoje
Roza Sober-Dragoje is one of the Righteous Among the Nations.[1] [2][3]
Roza was born in about 1922 and came from a Christian family.[3]
She and Zekira Besrević rescued Gracija Kamhi (later Džamonja) and her uncle from their house where they were hiding when the Nazis took other members of their family away.[1] There was a proclamation in Bosnia allowing citizens to take over Jewish businesses, and Besrević took over a beauty parlor where Gracija Kamhi was an apprentice (her uncle owned it).[1][3] Roza Sober-Dragoje and Besrević became the parlor's managers, and there they hid Gracija Kamhi and her uncle until they could escape to Mostar, which was under Italian occupation.[3]
In May 2000 Roza Sober-Dragoje and Zekira Besrević were recognized as two of the Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem.[1][3]
