Oscar

The story of Oscar Schindler’s act of extreme kindness is legendary. In

Schindle
1939, Schindler bought a Jewish owned enamelware factory, going on to
employ Jewish workers from the nearby Kraków Ghetto — a camp

r workers slaves, but despite this, Schindler went to great lengths

where the Nazis held Jews for forced labor. This technically made the
Jewish
to ensure they were protected. He bribed SS officers who wanted to
deport his workers to extermination camps, and even added an armament
manufacturing division to his factory so that he could claim his workers
were essential to the war effort. In his efforts to protect his workers he
even went so far as to falsify production numbers so that he could keep
protecting his workers. He only closed down operations on the day that
the Soviets liberated the local concentration camps, by which point he
had spent his entire fortune on bribes and
black-market purchases of supplies for his workers. Schindler’s efforts
saved the lives of over a thousand Jewish people from certain death.
