On 4 January 2006 fourteen saviours of Reizl Shochot and her children Jehoshua and Chaim were acknowledged as the Righteous Among the Nations.

These are only the ones whom we managed to find and who were awarded. In reality there were many more saviours. Jehoshua Shochot counted that during the times of hiding he lived with 15 families. Chaim Shochot counted fewer and Reizl Shochot counted even 22 families that hid her.
