No independent references with regard to the individual. It isn't clear whether this is meant to be about an individual or a group, but it is written as a biography of a non-living person, whose notability isn't stated. Maybe a group article might be more appropriate. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:25, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I improved the article (still a stub, but a referenced one and better built). He has some notability as a photographer and work on Albanian monuments but his main claim to fame is WWII activities. He has at least 20+ book mentions as well as coverage by TIME, Washington Post, and other majors newspapers/magazines.Icewhiz (talk) 07:22, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - there are plenty reliable sources about him and his life that seem largely to stem from his WWII activities and being honored by Israel. I don't see a BIO1E problem, as the coverage includes other aspects of his life. Smmurphy^(Talk) 18:48, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- I'm seeing a lot of book results discussing his activities to aid Jews; sample: Resisting the Holocaust: Upstanders, Partisans, and Survivors. Can be developed into an acceptable start class article. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:44, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
