Gratitude is not a silly emotion. If you are ungrateful to this woman who risked so much (BTW she walked with a limp the rest of her life because of the torture she received when they broke her feet).
You very well might find a Rabbi who say you shouldnt be inspired by the woman, but you will also find those who ARE inspired and think we should put “righteous gentiles” (People who risked their lives to save jews during the holocaust) on another level and should honor them., and its more than proper to do so.
While normally I would not say to shop for a psak, I think in THIS case you should shop for a Posek who thinks its proper to honor righteous gentiles.
While I never heard of this halacha, and don’t know to what extent it goes, gratitude and inspiration are two different things. We can and should be VERY grateful for what she did. That doesn’t mean we should be inspired to do the same because she did it.
