What are some good stories you guys have heard about people hiding Jews? Any famous ones or ones that have hardly been talked about? Are they any good films you know of people hiding Jews during WW2? One of my favorite heroes of the Holocaust was Monsignor O'Flaherty, a high ranking official in the Vatican, who, helped rescue Jews, POWs and refugees by helping them find a hiding place in Rome at the cost of his own. He saved over 4,000 innocent souls! I did an English research report on him once. Once as the Gestapo searched for him he was a master of disguise, disguising himself from anything to a street sweeper or even a nun! He saved thousands during the war and ironically converted the Gestapo colonel who, had ordered him to be killed and who, tried to stop his work. There's a great movie about O'Flaherty called, "The Scarlet And The Black." I highly recommend it!
