Karl Plagge
Maj Karl Plagge (born July 10 1897 in Darmstadt, died 1957 in Darmstadt) was a German officer and Nazi Party member, who during World War II hired approximately 1,200 Jews — 500 men, and the rest women and children — to forced labor, thus preventing them from being murdered in Nazi extermination camps. In 2005 he was bestowed the "Righteous Among the Nations" title by the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial.
