Jewish Rescuer's in Yad Vashem

My argumentative article discusses how Yad Vashem honors the non-Jewish rescuers during the Holocaust. Most of these non-Jewish rescuers took in Jewish children and even families while they were on the run from the Nazi's. The question my article raises is why aren't the Jewish rescuers allowed to be honored in Yad Vashem, why are they neglected? The Jewish rescuers consist of the Jews who went by different names on the trains and searching the country for a safe haven to turn to. It sounds like the author of this article brought up this issue to the directors of Yad Vashem and the answer he received was that the Jews were simply "doing their duty" and still Yad Vashem refuses to honor the Jewish rescuers. The group of people who are pushing for the honoring of the Jewish rescuers say that they are not asking for the same major recognition as the non-Jews but would like an acknowledgement of some sort. 

my other journalistic articles are:  
This particular article focuses on the museum's creative way to incorporate history by using film, photographs and artifacts. This article interviews Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and touches on the architecture designed by Moshe Safdi.
This article is simply announcing the opening of Yad Vashem's new museum in which leaders from 40 different nations attended. It includes the series of events that took place at the opening of the museum and the meaning behind the events such as the children's choir. The leaders of the different nations are featured with quotes and explanations of how they feel about the opening of the new museum.
