Rosemary has coordinated and hosted numerous tours to Israel and received many awards from Israel’s Prime Minister, government leaders, and Jewish and Christian organizations in recognition of her exemplary humanitarian work. She partnered with the Jewish National Fund, Hillel, Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum, Jewish Federations, Friends of the IDF, Synagogues, Sha’are Zedek Medical Center, Stand With Us, and the Friends of Zion Heritage Center in Jerusalem.

Working specifically with survivors, their families, Yad Vashem, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, Rosemary coordinated and facilitated the:

  • 62nd Reunion of St. Louis Ship Surviving Passengers in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, Florida June 2 to 5, 2001.
  • In addition, there was national and international repentance at the All Americas Convocation involving Christian leaders and delegates from 50 American nations and 50 states in the USA.

In December 2009, during Hanukkah, Rev. 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 director of the U.S. National Archives, and government leaders from the United States of America and Germany. The tragedy of the St. Louis Ship is the US State Department’s worst failure in US immigration history.

The story of the St. Louis Ship was the subject of the Academy Award-nominated 1976 film Voyage of the Damned starring Faye Dunaway, Max Von Sydow, and Lee Grant. The movie is based on the book by the same title by Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan Witts. In March 2002, Schindler’s Ark International honored the St. Louis Ship Captain Gustov Schroeder in his hometown of Hamburg, Germany, and at Yad Vashem as a Righteous Gentile for his heroic acts to save his Jewish passengers from being returned to Hitler’s Germany. Watch the true movie.
