Last update - 05:58 10/03/2008 Helena Bonham Carter's grandfather to be named righteous gentile By Haaretz Service Tags: Yad Vashem, Holocaust  The Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem will honor the grandfather of actress Helena Bonham Carter this week for his efforts that helped save thousands of Jews from Nazi persecution during World War II, The Observer reported on Sunday. Eduardo Propper de Callejon, Bonham Carter's maternal grandfather, will be named by Yad Vashem as one of the Righteous Among the Nations, according to the report. 'He was such a modest man and he was never acknowledged for what he did,' Bonham Carer said, while in Surrey, England filming the new Harry Potter movie. 'I don't think I fully appreciated it myself until now.' Advertisement Propper de Callejon helped thousands of refugees sneak into Spain while serving as Spanish First Secretary in Bordeaux during the war. Over 21,000 Righteous Gentiles have been recognized to date.
