Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum in Jerusalem, Israel has honored Major Karl Plagge for his work to save over 1,000 Jews from deportation to the death camps when the Vilnus ghetto was liquidated.
What makes this honor so interesting is that Plagge was an officer for Nazi Germany.
There are those who think that all Germans were evil, or that all the Germans looked the other way. Many did.
Some did not. Thankfully for the relatives of those saved by Major Plagge, he did not look the other way at the unspeakable evils perpetrated by the Nazis.
