Abdol Hossein Sardari (Persian: عبدالحسین سرداری; 1914–1981) was an Iranian diplomat.[1] He is credited with saving thousands of Jews in Europe, issuing to Iranian Jews in France new passports that did not state their religion as well as issuing hundreds of Iranian passports for non-Iranian Jews.[2] He has since been known as "The Iranian Schindler"[3][4][5][6][7] or "The Schindler of Iran".[8]
