it seems he was a complex character. he could be both a saint and sinner. he cared for people and put himself in danger trying to help them. he also seemed quite cold at times

he gave ethnic minorities and disabled people jobs long before others would employ them

but like most (almost all) people - he made sure he looked after himself
