ANOTHER SCHINDLER:
A German army officer who saved hundreds of Jews from the Nazi Holocaust in Lithuania has been honoured at a ceremony in Israel.
The story of Maj Karl Plagge was unearthed by a US doctor, Michael Good, who began searching in 1999 for the Nazi who had saved his mother.Maj Plagge sheltered about 1,200 Jews at a vehicle workshop while the SS annihilated the Vilnius ghetto. . . .
It is unusual for Yad Vashem to bestow the “Righteous Among the Nations” title on a German who was part of the Nazi war machine, the memorial’s chairman Avner Shalev told the BBC News website.
I would think so.
