Oskar Schindler
Oskar Schindler GraveIn the last scene of The Schindler's List, the Jews saved by Oskar Schindler place stones on his grave to create the shape of a cross. I was surprised to find stones still covering his tomb in that shape, although I suspected they were stones placed by more recent visitors who wished to leave a mark of their visit and remembrance of the man. Travel Tip Oskar Schindler's tomb isn't at the Lutheran church near the Holy Sepulcher church as some claim, and is tricky to find. To find it, walk about 300 yards down the hill from Zion Gate until you come to a small parking lot, across the road from which are two unmarked gates. Walk through the gate on the right as you are facing them, and into the sprawling cemetery. Then walk down two levels to find his tomb near the center of the third (the lowest) level. The stone pile may still be there to help you find it.
