Righteous Gentiles

This is a memorial to Hungarian Christian people who helped save Jews by hiding them in their houses during the Holocaust. The Jews call them "righteous gentiles (non-Jews)", and they are remembered here. The scary thing is that anti-Semitism is alive and well in many parts of the world, and crazy people still deny the Holocaust and want to destroy Israel.

In tough times, I still want to stand with the Jews because a long time ago, a Jew died for me. Besides, it's not a Christian thing; it's a human thing. I would do it for anybody, nomatter what they believe in, because everyone deserves the right to live. Sounds altruistic, so better not chicken out last minute ah, Zhenghao. Lord help me.
