Stock Photo - May 05, 1962 - The Man who saved 11,100 jews: Hundreds of Jews and their families turned out at Lydds Airport, Israel, recently to welcome Oscar Schindler, a Sudeten-born German, of Frankfurt, who is said to have been responsible for saving 11,100 Jews from the Nazi persecutions during the last war. He employed the Jews in a factory he operated at Zabloczech, near Gracow, and although often questioned by the occupation forces always averted danger by exploiting parachal contacts. He was brought to Israel as a guest of the government to take part in the ceremony of planting the first saplings in 'The Avenue of Righteous Gentiles' today to commemorate non-Jews who helped Jews against the Nazis during the war.
