Is+Jacques+hero?

In general, hero means the person who comes to rescuse the victim from the danger and usually hero helps weak people.

But to me, hero is the person who suffered themself to help the people even if not successed.

Father Jacques was a hero to the Jewish children who were weak and need support or help. He helped them avoide going to the concentration camps. He was finally caught by the Germans and sended out to the concentration camp and died. So if he did not helped Jewish children, he did not need to be in the camp. Thus he suffered himself to help the Jewish children which represent he is a great hero.
