                               RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the sense of the Senate 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, 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, That it is the sense of the Senate that the Postal 
Service should issue a stamp honoring the life of Oskar Schindler.
