Briton who saved Jews remembered A British agent who saved thousands of Jews from the Nazis is being remembered with a plaque being placed outside the British embassy in Berlin. Frank Foley was based in Berlin in the 1930s, working as a passport control officer, and using his position to provide papers for Jewish people. Foreign Secretary Jack Straw described him as ″a true British hero″. In fact, he was actually Britain's top spy in the city. Mr Foley's efforts have already been recognised by Israel, which declared him a righteous gentile ,like Oskar Schindler, and he has also been honoured by his home town of Stourbridge in the West Midlands. 拯救犹太人的英国签证官 一位英国间谍曾经从纳粹营中救出了数千名犹太人,日前,在英国驻柏林大使馆外竖起一块牌子来纪念这位英雄人物。 20世纪30年代时,弗兰克·福利在柏林从事护照签发工作,他利用职务之便为犹太人提供(逃离所必需的)证件。 英国外交大臣杰克·司特劳称他是“真正的大不列颠英雄”。实际上他是英国派驻柏林市的顶级间谍。 福利先生的功绩已经得到以色列的承认,和奥斯卡·辛德勒一样,他也获得了以色列政府颁发的“正义外邦人”勋章。他还受到了来自他的家乡(西米德兰的斯陶尔布里奇镇)的褒奖。 |
