Action star Arnold Schwarzenegger was recently honoured with the inaugural Award of Courage at Los Angeles Holocaust Museum`s annual gala on Monday for his longtime fight against anti-Semitism and bigotry. On receiving the award, the ‘Terminator’ star said that eradicating anti-Semitism has been a lifelong personal mission of his as he is the son of a Nazi.
Going back to his older days, Arnold recounted encountering a hatred of Jews in his own home when he bought a bodybuilding magazine as a teenager and his father disparaged it when he found out the publisher of the magazine was Jewish. Years later, after the actor won the Mr. Universe and was invited to the US, which he later made his home, he called his father to tell him it was that same publisher who had made it all happen.
