An Austrian man who died in December has left an undisclosed fortune to the French village of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon. (Pictured above)
He did this to thank the residents for hiding his family from the Nazis during World War II.
Erich Schwam was a Jewish refugee who arrived in the village with his mother and father in 1943.
He bequeathed a sum thought to be at least a few hundred thousand euro to the commune in south-central France, according to the notary in charge of his will. (CNN)
It is a great feeling to be able to give back!
Actually, it feels good to both the giver and the receiver.
So, it’s a win-win.
How about you?
Is there someone or some cause you’d like to repay for a former kindness?
If so, hopefully it’s not too late to find them and reciprocate with your own act of kindness.
If not today, when?
