(Algemeiner) Harold Brackman - Ho Feng-Shan was Consul-General at the Chinese legation in Vienna in 1938. Fluent in German, he made friends with many local Jewish intellectuals. Against the orders of his superiors, he issued visas to Shanghai to Austrian Jews, enabling tens of thousands of Jews to flee, until he was ordered to return to China in 1940. After the Communist victory in 1949, he followed the Nationalist government to Taiwan and served as an ambassador until 1973. In his memoirs, he explained his motivations during World War II: "Seeing the Jews so doomed, it was only natural to feel deep compassion, and from a humanitarian standpoint, to be impelled to help them." In 2001, Yad Vashem recognized him as "Righteous Among the Nations" for being among the first diplomats to issue visas that saved Jews from the Holocaust. 2021-04-01 00:00:00Full Article
