Dr. Feng Shan Ho

By Sam Huang and Alexis Chao

A True Life Killer

Dr. Feng Shan Ho saved thousands of Austrian Jews, by himself, during the Holocaust. Dr. Ho arrived in Vienna in 1977 as a Chinese diplomat, to try to stay on the good side of Germany. When the Nazis took over Austria, they began to persecute the Jews. Even though the Jews tried to leave, other countries were not accepting Jewish refugees. Many Jews were saved because Dr. Ho began to give Jews visas to Shanghai, China. Even though he had to go against his boss' orders. These documents were able to save the lives of thousands of Jews, from death. For 40 years he did this diplomatic service of ambassadorships to Egypt, Mexico, Bolivia, and Colombia. Dr. Ho retired to San Fransisco, California in 1973.

What Ho Man-Li said about Dr. Ho

Social Evaluation

"He was a scholar and a gentleman, a product of his culture and of the times in which he lived, the likes of which we will never see again. But more importantly, he was a person who was never false, whose honor and integrity, whose strength of will, whose faith and optimism always shone through - and that was part of his charisma. He was loved and respected not just for what he was, but for who he was as a human being.

My father always felt that he had received a full measure of gifts. He was brilliant, fearless, charming and dynamic. He was also incorruptible, straightforward and conscientious. He possessed a hot temper - which I always attributed to his love for the hot peppers of Hunan. Among his most admirable traits was his capacity for love and for compassion. Most importantly, my father believed that these gifts were not bestowed upon him solely for his personal benefit, but for that of his fellow men." said Ho Man-Li

Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder said in front of Feng shan monument; "in front of him, we see the glory of human nature, and thus feel our own insignificance."

Sharon said in front of the monument; "He is not a hero, nor angels, he is God."
