Righteous Gentiles
By: Jenny,Emma,Lev, Drew C.
Introduction
Sharps helped hundreds of people escape from Nazi persecution.
The Sharps were recruited by members of the American Unitarian Association, including Robert Dexter to accept a posting in Czechoslovakia, as representatives of a new program to help endangered refugees. With his wife Martha Sharp, in 1939 he administered relief to hundreds of endangered Jews and other refugees in Prague.. In the following year, Waitstill and Martha traveled to southern Europe to continue a relief and rescue program for endangered refugees as representatives of the newly formed Unitarian Service Committee. In 2006 they were regarded as Righteous among nations.
