    "British Schindler" ?

    No, "Jewish Schindler" !
    His parents did embrace Christianity, but nevertheless remained (ethnic) Jews.

    That is good news to hear!

    I know prior to WW2 the Germans just wanted Jews out of the third Reich, so I could imagine they even helped and financed that. Would be worth some research, because I can honestly imagine a high ranking Nazi to agree with this, because it was nearly 700 Jews less in the third Reich...

    But these stories are very nice to read. It makes you have faith in people again...

    My grandmother was a citizen of Czechoslovakia.

    My great-uncle and great-aunt lived in Prague.

    God bless this man and his family.

    He deserves nothing but good fortune.

    The Jewish would-be refugees were forced to give up their entire property.
    And almost nobody in the world wanted to admit them.

    Me not. Nor any other story about Jewish resistors - and about the Righteous Gentiles.

    He deserves it. Unlike Arafat and Obama.
