Kalman Horvatth

He was a Hungarian officer who saved the life of many jewish lives by sending them to forced labor camps. It does sound like he really did nothing for them but he Defied its Nazi allies by not obeying and turning in all jews. He knew if he sent them to Auschwytz it would be insstant death. He Gave them time to plan what to do and escape. There were many situations like this during the Holocoust when High officials go out their way and beliefs and do the right thing.

History always repeat itself. Sometimes good but when its the bad we will remember for ever. History of Genocides is a weird one, they are never ment to happen but the influence of one man can change the views of millions. The race is always viewed as inferior. Such as the Jews, Armenians and Ukranians were viewed as parasites to the world. Wild accusations are made that are believed by the masses.
