Thank you for this post, Jim. It's always good to hear about unsung heroes like Feng Shang-Ho. It sounds as though he was a most remarkable man, and one whose deeds should be remembered.

I had to wait a whole day to get to give this a well deserved six! Thanks for letting us know of this little known hero who helped many escape Nazi Germany. I'm glad that he's recognized among the "righteous among the nations." There is a tree for each of these heroes in Yad vShem in Israel.

Very interesting story about a man I had never heard of, which seems hard to believe due to his great accomplishments during the Holocaust. It is the people we don't hear about that were the true saints. They worked for the good and not the recognition. Thanks for sharing.

You did a tremendous job with this, yourself, with your post. But then, you put whipped cream and the perfect cherry on top with this heart-wrenching video.

A friend of mine who's now ninety-three has lunch with me every Friday at our favorite Jewish deli, and she says what we're seeing today here in this country frightens her in the same way the Holocaust did. She's "seen it all," but she says this is the worst it's ever been. What a terrifying thought.

Hopefully, there are lots and lots of Schindlers and Feng Shang-ho's still around.

Really well-done article, Jim. xoxo

    I pray The Lord will send such individuals to their aid. I do know that anyone that curses Israel will receive a curse, and I believe their entire country will be restored to them.

Wow, I have never heard of this saintly man, but now that I have, I will certainly pray for his soul. As I write the review of your wonderful essay, I am making a note of his name -- I will leave shortly for daily mass, and at every mass we pray for souls.
Well done, Jim -- I wish I had a six for this one!

This piece on Feng Shan-Ho raises a shade one of the many saints behind the scenes who risked their own lives to save so many with the strike of a pen. One's position used correctly.

Thank you, Jim, for sharing this story with us. As a history buff, I'm embarrassed to admit I hadn't heard about China's Schindler until now. It's great to learn new things about such a tragic period of history through your concise and informative presentation. Very good job.

Sadly, here in America, we run the risk of seeing something similar taking place. We have a group of supposedly sane citizens following a man who clearly lacks any morals at all. This man has stated that if elected he will become a dictator for a short time. Just long enough to get even with all who are in opposition to his success. The only way his rule will be short is if his rule is ended by a well aimed bullet. Now I do not advocate his murder, but if he is able to succeed, a bullet or two is unavoidable.

This is a wonderful tribute to the kindness of this man who saved many Jews during this awful part of German history. I had never heard of him before and I enjoyed your story Jim, love Dolly x

Wow, Jim! I was completely unaware of this. What an amazing story. And I admire the way you managed to tell it in a straightforward way, yet with respect and admiration. Thank you for sharing the story. I hope it will help spread the word to other people who, like me, didn't know about this but should.

    There are so many unknown individuals who saw the horror of the atrocities and did what they could at the peril of lives and losing all else they had to give aid to God's People.

    I firmly believe there are more good people in the world than bad, although the current state of our nation has me wondering.
