This is an example of one of many true Christains Emile;
The exact wording of Yad Vashem's requirement to be honored as a Righteous Gentile is as follows:
Extending help in saving a life; endangering one's own life; absence of reward, monetary and otherwise, and similar considerations which make the rescuer's deeds stand out above and beyond what can be termed ordinary help.
Yad Vashem honors the Righteous Gentiles with a medal which quotes, in Hebrew and in French, a verse from the Jewish Talmud: "He who saves one life, it is as if he has saved the entire world."
The Righteous Gentiles are invited to plant a carob tree along the Avenue of the Righteous which leads to Yad Vashem's museum (and memorial) in Jerusalem. A plaque with the rescuer's name is affixed to the tree. Rescuers in dire financial straits are awarded a small stipend.
Yad Vashem honored Oskar Schindler as a Righteous Gentile on April 28, 1962, his fifty-fourth birthday. When Schindler died in October, 1974, in West Germany, his wish of being buried in Israel was honored. He was laid to rest at the Catholic cemetery on Mount Zion in Jerusalem.
On his tombstone are written the words in Hebrew: "The unforgettable life savior of 1,200
oppressed Jews."
Emile; Jews by the thousands visit his grave every year and they show abounding love for this man who was a Gentile. I am sure Schindler will be one of the most high in Heaven it's knowing ones heart, and I am sure God so all the love that flowed from it. THIS TO ME IS A TRUE CHRISTIAN and the Jews are a loving people.
Again my prayers are with you;
