Roza Sober-Dragoje is one of the Righteous Among the Nations.

Roza was born in about 1922 and came from a Christian family.

She and Zekira Besrević rescued Gracija Kamhi (later Džamonja) and her uncle from their house where they were hiding when the Nazis took other members of their family away. There was a proclamation in Bosnia allowing citizens to take over Jewish businesses, and Besrević took over a beauty parlor where Gracija Kamhi was an apprentice (her uncle owned it). Roza Sober-Dragoje and Besrević became the parlor's managers, and there they hid Gracija Kamhi and her uncle until they could escape to Mostar, which was under Italian occupation.

In May 2000 Roza Sober-Dragoje and Zekira Besrević were recognized as two of the Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem.
