A Hero’s Final Resting Place on Mount Zion
Born in 1908, Oskar Schindler was an ethnic German industrialist born in Moravia. Oskar Schindler saved more than 1,000 Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his ammunition and enamelware factories. Oskar is the subject of the novel Schindler’s Ark and the 7-academy winning film, Schindler’s list.
Throughout the war, Oskar spent his entire fortune on black-market purchases and bribing the Nazis in an effort to save his Jewish employees from being deported to concentration camps. By the end of the war, Oskar was practically destitute and spent the remainder of his life trying to survive financially, and relied on support from a few Jewish organizations.
Oskar Schindler died at the age of 66 due to heart failure and died a true hero. Schindler received the honor of being buried on Mount Zion in the Catholic cemetery and is the only member of the Nazi party to receive such a distinction.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered licensed tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this "calling" in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, "glide" over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water, and "see" the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many-faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be implanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.
