Arnold Schwarzenegger is not only a former bodybuilder who has won the Mr. Olympia title 7 times. The Austrian Oak is much more than that. The 75-year-old actor has proved himself as a philanthropist along with a stunning political leader. For his efforts to remove hatred of society, the former bodybuilder will be graced with a prestigious award by the Holocaust Museum LA.

Coming from a strict background, the actor is a son of an officer named Gustav Schwarzenegger. Although coming from a strict Catholic family, the 75-year-old actor has had different opinions about the diversity in society. The Holocaust Museum LA has recognized him for his long-standing commitment to fighting antisemitism and bigotry. The museum will honor him with the Award of Courage on the 6th of November.
