Auguste and Joseph Lemann - Jewish Twins who became Catholic Priests. You can read their story here.

Hermann Cohen - World-Class Pianist and Protege of Liszt, was another. You can read his story here.

His second cousin Jonas Moses-Lustiger read a psalm in Hebrew and placed on the coffin a jar of earth that had been gathered on the Mount of Olives.
