The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Deaths: Saved Jews-- Part 1
Bertold Beitz, 99 German Industrialist AP, Yahoo! News.
Bertold Beitz was honored for saving hundreds of Jews in German-occupied Poland during World War II and went on to become one of West Germany's prominent industrial leaders after the war.
Most recently, he was honorary chairman of ThyssenKrupp AG, a huge German industrial company. During both world wars, Krupp made the armament for the country.
Mr. Beitz became administer of the company in the 1950s and served in various positions for the next sixty years. But, he gained great fame after the war for what he did to save Jews from the concentration camps.
Another Schindler's List, but not so well-known.
