What is the meaning of Yad Vashem in Hebrew?
Yad VaShem - in Hebrew יד ושם Yad: Memorial (it has also the meaning of Name, Fame, Reputation...) Shem: Name of the tribes of Shem...the Semitic people are descendants of "Shem" Va: And (conjunction) Yad VaShem: A Memorial to the Tribe of Shem. Other Semitic races found in Asia are also children of Shem and speak Semitic languages, so technically the Yad VaShem would be not only for Jews but all Semitic Suffering including Arabs, Jews, Afghans, etc. It is the Jerusalem museum in remembrance of the names of the victims of the Holocaust.
Any words that begin with the letter V about the Holocaust?
the Vam Pels were the family who hid with anne frank and her family in the secret annex during the Holocaust they were found and killed at concentration camps The Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem is called Yad Vashem (a memorial and a name) taken from Isaiah. The "V" element is the "and", however, so may not be what you want. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yad_Vashem

The Torah is very delicate. It is written on parchment which can be damaged by too much oil. Our hands are very oily. So to protect the Torah, we use a yad. A yad is a pointer, often shaped like a hand. Yad means hand.
Were there some people who took Jews in after the escaped?
Yes. There some people who took pity on the Jews and tried to help them in practical ways. There's a tendency to talk in terms of rescuers and rescued but usually it was much less melodramatic than that. A Jew made some move - perhaps ecsaped from a ghetto, and someone give him/her food and shelter ... Many of those who did so are commemorated by Yad Vashem.
