Robert Bingham writes:”Simon Wiesenthal Center video tribute to Hiram (Harry) Bingham IV on March 28, 2011. The film shows the Nazis on the march in Europe and how U.S. Vice-Consul Harry Bingham rose to the dangerous occasion to save lives. Harry Bingham was an American WWII diplomat rescuer who defied his government to save many refugees (among them Lion F.) from the Holocaust while he was posted in Marseilles during 1940-1941, and who received the Medal of Valor posthumously from the Center at the annual Awards Dinner on March 28, 2011 in NYC, where the film was first shown.”The video includes a  clip about Lion.
