Whereas Oskar Schindler acted as a hero during the Nazi occupation of Poland and selflessly rescued 1,200 Jewish men, women, and children by employing them in his factory, at risk to his own life and that of his wife; Whereas Oskar Schindler also rescued approximately 100 Jewish men and women from the Goleszow concentration camp, who lay trapped and partly frozen in 2 sealed train cars stranded near Runlets; Whereas Oskar Schindler embodied ideals of the United States, such as the pursuit of freedom, liberty, and opposition to tyranny, and many of the Jewish people who fled the Nazi occupation made the United States their home; Whereas millions of people in the United States have been made aware of the story of Oskar Schindler's bravery; Whereas, on July 18, 1967, Yad Vashem decided to recognize Oskar Schindler as one of the Righteous Among the Nations, or righteous Gentiles, an honor awarded by Israel to non-Jews who saved Jews during the Holocaust at great personal risk; Whereas the 100th anniversary of Oskar Schindler’s birth is April 28, 2008; and Whereas Oskar Schindler is a true humanitarian, deserving of honor by the United States Government: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the Senate that the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee should recommend to the Postmaster General that a commemorative stamp be issued honoring the life of Oskar Schindler.
