Lord George Weidenfeld, a 95-year-old Jewish man who fled Nazi-occupied Austria in 1938 with the help of Christian Quakers, is now helping to save at least 2,000 Christians in Syria from the Islamic State.
He is using money he earned through his successful publishing business and the Weidenfeld Safe Havens Fund to fly the Christians to safe places in Poland and other nations.
Weidenfeld was a young man living in Austria in the 1930s. As the Nazis moved to annex Austria in 1938, British Quakers and other Christians helped Weidenfeld get to Britain. Weidenfeld started a publishing business in 1948, which grew to be very successful.
Now he wants to help Christians, the religious people who once helped him.
"I had a debt to repay," he told the The Times.
"It was the Quakers and the other Christian denominations who brought those children to England," in the 1930s, he said. "It was a very high-minded operation and Jews should be thankful and do something for the endangered Christians."

Why is it these religions can co-exist but the Muslim hate EVERYONE? ? YET OBAMA and his staff of Muslims are destroying America and the RINOS are allowing it. VOTE TRUMP FOR AMERICA! !!
Awesome! Yet Obama and his Muslim buddies insist we need to take in yet another 60,000 to 70,000 Syrian Muslims. I don't see any effort to extend "humanitarian" or "human rights" asylum here in the USA to Christians or other non-Muslims.
