#2Like Shindler's story, in these times of cynism and selfishness, these stories make me a little at peace with humanity.
Even with all the flaws that these men had, they did something extraordinary good.

A great majority of people would never do this, fearing for personal safety or personal well-being-- and that's okay, that makes sense to me. But the few who risk themselves in this way are more than you think, it's just that we don't hear of them because the true heroes don't consider themselves heroes. Also keep in mind that most people sacrifice themselves daily in order to keep their loved ones happy in small ways, and that's just as inspiring.
