Chinese diplomat honored for saving Jews
*** begin quote ***
A Chinese diplomat who saved thousands of Jews from the Holocaust has been posthumously honored in the Austrian capital.
Feng Shan Ho was Chinese consul-general in Vienna from 1938-1940 and issued visas to Austrian Jews, enabling them to escape the Nazis. He died in San Francisco in 1997 at the age of 96, before his deeds were recognized.

[JR: Shame that we can't recognize these people during their lifetimes. Shame we can all know these courageous people as "celebrities". Shame we can't know all the unknown heros.]
