Oskar Schindler's grave (Jerusalem)

Israel / Jerusalem / Jerusalem
Schindler's grave is located near the bus parking lot near Zion Gate.
At the bottom of the ramp leading to the parking lot, across the street is a gate to the graveyard with a small sign indicating the way to his grave.
It is on the lowest terrace, to the right of the entrance.

Usually many stones are placed on top of the grave, as a token of gratitude according to Jewish tradition, although Schindler himself was not Jewish.

Oskar Schindler was the only former member of the Nazi party to be recognized by the planting of a tree in his name at the Yad Vashem Memorial.
He is the only Nazi Party member buried in Israel.
