The Life Of Oskar Schindler

Oskar Schindler was an entrepreneur during World War II that saved the lives of hundreds of people. Hitler and the Nazis were in complete control of Germany and were torturing and killing millions of people. Meanwhile, Schindler was saving hundreds of Jews, who were the victims at the time, by employing them in his factory. This man heroically showed that even with so much horror in the world, there was still a little good.

Oskar Schindler was born on April 28, 1908 in Svitavy, Moravia. He obtained Czech citizenship when his country of birth became part of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1918. He lived with his mother, Louisa, his father, Hans, and his younger sister, Elfriede during the early period of his life. Hans worked for a farm-equipment

However, his personality and childhood gives us an idea of why he might have gone through with the plan. As a child Oskar Schindler grew up with religiously strict parents. The family that lived next door to him was a Jewish Rabbi family. The family’s two sons were his closest friends. There is also one man who was close to Oskar and once asked him why he did it. Oskar replied, 'I was a Nazi, and I believed that the Germans were doing wrong ... when they started killing innocent people - and it didn't mean anything to me that they were Jewish, to me they were just human beings…”. Oskar Schindler had a front row seat to what was happening to the Jewish community. It was clear to him that these people are just the same as anyone else. Schindler took things into his own hands and rescued 1,200 Jews from imminent

Their lives may not have been perfect but they were better off than the people that were in death camps. Because of Schindler there were 1200 more Jews at the end of World War ll. From those 1200 saved Jews 800 were men and 400 women. Now there are 7000 descendants of the Jewish Schindler saved. The Jews saved worked in Schindler's factory called “Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik Oskar Schindler” or Emalia. The factory was made by three Jewish entrepreneurs: Michal Gutman, Izrael Kahn, and Wolf Luzer Glajtman. These men built the “stamping room” where metal was processed, prepared and pressed. The “deacidification facility” where the vessels were washed in a solution to remove all impurities. The enamel shop, was laid in a number of layers: the first coat is a protective coating, then the color, and finally another protective coat. The ownership of the company changed many times, and its financial problems began to increase. Schindler took control of the shop September 6. Schindler did this because he was a part of the “NSDAP.” In November 1939, Schindler took over the company. He produced ammunition shells, so that his factory would be an essential part of the war effort. Tough those shells made never passed inspection. The workers instead made “false military travel passes and ration cards were produced, just as Nazi uniforms, weapons, ammunition and hand-grenades.” He built a camp on the premises where “his” Jews lived, and the Jews
