Israel honours Bonham Carter's grandfather

Israel’s Holocaust memorial has posthumously recognised a prominent Spanish diplomat – who was the grandfather of the Oscar-nominated British actress Helena Bonham Carter – for his role in saving hundreds of Jews during the Second World War.

In a ceremony today, Yad Vashem has named Eduardo Propper de Callejon a “Righteous Among the Nations,” the highest honour granted to non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust.
