Grave of Oskar Schindler

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:39:44

The grave of the Austrian industrialist who saved more than 1200 Jews from the gas chambers and whose story was told by filmmaker Steven Spielberg in the Oscar-winning Schindler’s List is in the Christian cemetery on Mt Zion. From Zion Gate walk directly ahead, downhill, to find the Christian cemetery. Once inside, head down to the third (lowest) level. Schindler’s grave is easy to recognise as it is covered in small stones (a Jewish custom signifying respect).
