John Henry Weidner, a hero of history’s greatest holocaust, saved the lives of 800 Jews, more than 100 Allied aviators, and many others who fled the nightmare of Nazism. Others with less moral fortitude may have closed their eyes to the brutality about them, but Weidner refused to be cowed, and so braved imprisonment and torture for his humanitarian efforts. "I asked John Weidner why he had risked his life repeatedly to save so many. His answer was brief and to the point: "They were God’s children; they were human beings.’" – Haskell L.
