Schindler’s Ark’s purpose is to be a bridge of support between Christians and Jews, the USA and Israel.

Schindler represented the U.S.A. and the international Christian Community at the signing of U.S. Senate Resolution 111, acknowledging America’s turning away of almost one thousand German Jewish refugees who sought the safety of our shores as they fled Nazi Europe 70 years prior. Being rejected at gunpoint from Miami forced 937 Jewish passengers back into the hands of Hitler, who then gave the world an excuse for his “Final Solution” to the nation’s “Jewish problem”. Rev. Schindler, personally signed Resolution 111, along with the Holocaust survivors of the St. Louis Ship, the head of the U.S. Holocaust Museum, Yad Vashem, the head of the U.S. National Archives, and government leaders from the United States of America and Germany.
