                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of Congress that a postage stamp should be issued 
                       honoring Oskar Schindler.

Whereas during the Nazi occupation of Poland, Oskar Schindler personally risked 
        his life and that of his wife to provide food and medical care and saved 
        the lives of over 1,000 Jews from death, many of whom later made their 
        homes in the United States;
Whereas Oskar Schindler also rescued about 100 Jewish men and women from the 
        Golezow concentration camp, who lay trapped and partly frozen in 2 
        sealed train cars stranded near Brunnlitz;
Whereas millions of Americans have been made aware of the story of Schindler's 
        bravery;
Whereas on April 28, 1962, Oskar Schindler was named a ``Righteous Gentile'' by 
        Yad Vashem; and
Whereas Oskar Schindler is a true hero and humanitarian deserving of honor by 
        the United States Government: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that the Postal Service should issue a 
stamp honoring the life of Oskar Schindler.
