Oscar Schindler, a German who ran an enamel factory in Krakow, a small town on Poland's northern border, during World War II.
Schindler was in the German Nazi camp, but he had a heart for Jews.
He ran this enamel factory which, in 1941, had employed 800 workers, 370 of whom were Jews. In order to protect these Jews, Schindler, under the pretext of "draining the blood of the Jews", maneuvered among German officers and the Nazis in a treacherous environment, offering gifts and bribes, and succeeded in helping these Jews to hide in his haven, so that they and their families escaped deportation or sent to concentration camps.
In 1943, in the name of "supporting the war", he managed to persuade the quartermaster of the nearby Jewish concentration camp in Pu?aszow to produce munitions. He then moved the workers out of the camp under the pretext of "saving time at work".
In the spring of 1944, when the Germans were retreating on the Eastern Front and the camp was ordered to evacuate, Schindler got 1,000 Jewish workers to relocate to one of his factories in the city of Brynitz. At the time, his accountant printed out the list of names on a list, which was later discovered by chance in Schindler's suitcase as "Schindler's List". These people would have been sent to the "destruction camps" if Schindler had not asked them to come out. Later, he also took in Jews who had escaped from other camps while the Germans were retreating, and received 100 dying Jews from Auschwitz.
Schindler sold all of his family's possessions for food, medicine, and clothing so that these people could survive, and he bought medical equipment from the black market at a high price and opened an underground hospital exclusively for Jews, where his wife cooked and did nursing work for the patients.
He quietly left the factory on May 9, 1945, after Soviet troops occupied Brinitz and the Jews saw daylight again.
His later years were spent in Austria, Germany, Argentina, Germany. he died in 1974 after a long illness at the age of 65. According to his will, he was buried in the Roman Catholic Cemetery on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. He was honored by Israelis as a "righteous pagan". His tombstone is engraved in Hebrew with the words "National Justice". Today, these four words and Schindler's noble and upright personality, and the sound of gunfire together with the vibration of his grave in front of the hearts of mourners ...... original post address /question/28204948.html?fr=qrl&cid=96&index=1&fr2 =query
