Eine Geschichte, die ans Herz geht: 1938 nehmen einige Briten den damals 5-jährigen Juden Lord Weidenfeld aus Österreich mit nach England. Dort wird er ***edit*** Journalist, dann Verleger, dann Berater der israelischen Regierung, reich und übrigens auch Kolumnist für die WELT und Bild am Sonntag. Und aus Dank dafür, will er nun 2000 Christen vor dem IS retten und sie nach Israel - äh, ich meine nach Polen, nach Polen natürlich, fliegen lassen:
Aber die 2000 Syrer sollen erst der Anfang sein. Langfristig hofft er, die GESAMTE christliche Bevölkerung Syriens und des Iraks zu "retten".A Jewish peer who escaped Nazi-occupied Austria with the help of British Christians is funding the rescue of 2,000 Christians from ISIS-held areas in Syria and Iraq as a way of 'repaying his debts'.
Lord Weidenfeld was a penniless five-year-old when British Quakers and other Christians fed and clothed him, and helped him reach the UK in 1938 - just one year before the Second World War.
Following a hugely successful career in publishing, 95-year-old Lord Weidenfeld remains incredibly grateful for the risks taken by those who helped him, and has decided to plough money into a fund to rescue up to 2,000 persecuted Christians living under the rule of ISIS in the Middle East.

As part of his plan to 'repay' his debts to Christians, Lord Weidenfeld launched the Weidenfeld Safe Havens Fund - a project which last week paid for 150 Syrian Christians to be flown to Poland.
