My personal favorite hero of that era was champion cyclist Gino Bartali.
He was a three-time winner of the Giro d'Italia and twice won the Tour de France.

CNN reported it like this:
"...Using the handlebars on his bicycle to hide counterfeit identity papers, Bartali would ride to Jews in hiding and deliver their exit visas which allowed them to escape transportation to the death camps -- he is credited with saving the lives of 800 people..."

The Kapo Jews in congress who voted for the Iran Deal want Israel Nuked by Iran, they would not help a Jew across the street.

Wow, I love these stories of heroism during the holocaust. Where can I learn more of this story. I am sure there are many more that have not been told yet.
