A WORLD War Two hero who saved thousands of Jewish people from Nazi Germany is the face of Ian Austin's MP Christmas card.
Major Frank Foley CMG saved tens of thousands Jews from Hitler's Germany, allowing them to set up new lives free from persecution.
He spent his retirement years in Norton and was commemorated with a statue at Mary Steven's Park in earlier this, unveiled by the Duke of Cambridge.
Mr Austin said: “I worked with members of Major Foley’s family, local residents, the Holocaust Educational Trust and Dudley Council to produce this tribute to a great local hero and I wanted to celebrate what we had all achieved.
“Frank Foley is an inspiration to us all, a great British hero and I very much hope the card will teach even more people about his legacy - and come to Stourbridge to see our tribute as well.”
The card will be sent to Dudley residents, charities, businesses and community groups as well as the Queen, Prime Minister and the Speaker of the House of Commons.
