The story of 'Chinese Schindler'

By Lia Zhu in San Francisco | China Daily | Updated: 2019-01-30 07:26

The organizer of an event to honor a Chinese diplomat who saved thousands of European Jews from the Holocaust hopes the "Oskar Schindler of China" could serve as a role model for today's generations.

Richard Waxman told a gathering of hundreds of people from the Jewish and Chinese communities on Sunday in San Rafael, California, commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day "to connect our history to our present in hopes of a more peaceful and accepting tomorrow".

Waxman, president of Community Wellness Consulting LLC, said an understanding of the Holocaust is fading among younger generations, and with that has come a rise in anti-Semitism and other hate speech and activities.
