On the front lines in the battle for Peace

Today we celebrate those who for their country fought and bled. For they battled for strength and honor, where their strong desire to live took the form of a readiness to die for their country.
How far that little candle throws his beams.
So shines a good deed in a naughty world.

Lord, bid war's trumpet cease;
Fold the whole earth in peace.

Courage in a world of brutality, Oskar Schindler

"Whoever saves one life,
saves the world entire."

Those are the words of a remarkable man called Oskar Schindler who lived up to those exact words. As a symbol for courage in a world of brutality, he saved near 1200 Jews from the gas chambers than any other single person during World War II.


In honor and remembrance of Oskar Schindler;
(28 April 1908 – 9 October 1974)
