Honour for Ireland’s ‘Oscar Schindler’
The memory of Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty, dubbed Ireland’s Oscar Schindler, will be immortalised by the new Killarney International Humanitarian Award, which will be launched during a memorial weekend in Kerry next month.
While based in the Vatican during World War II, Monsignor O’Flaherty set up a network of safe houses throughout Rome and surrounds.
