My definition of a hero is someone who gave up their lives/personal safety to save/defend others, or further a cause. If you believe in the Bible, Jesus Christ has to come first. Others of note, in no order, would be George Washington, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Che Guevara, Abraham Lincoln, and Gen. Robert E. Lee. Schindler should also be included somewhere on the list, no pun.

"Nelson Mandela, Che Guevara"


Que? Mandela was an unrepentant terrorist (would have been freed many years earlier had he simply renounced violence - but didn't), and Guevara was simply a murderer. If merely furthering a cause is sufficient, your list is very short on 20th Century totalitarians.
