A 75-year-old Israeli professor and Holocaust survivor was killed in the massacre at Virginia Tech Monday when he leaped between the gunman and his students.

According to eye witnesses the heroic action of Liviu Librescu saved the lives of an unknown number of students in his class.

Librescu, who taught mechanics and engineering, immigrated to Israel from Romania in 1978 but had lived in Virginia since 1986.

He was one of 32 people killed in what has been described as the biggest single shooting attack in US history.
