[quote:b1555]A 76-year-old professor and Holocaust survivor was hailed as a hero after his students recounted how he saved about 20 people in Monday's US school shooting before being gunned down himself.
Liviu Librescu, a senior researcher and lecturer at Virginia Tech University, blocked the classroom door when he heard shooting and continued to hold the gunman at bay while students escaped through a classroom window.

Killed on Holocaust remembrance day. Talk about a tragic irony.
