How are Antigone and Oskar Schindler related?
Antigone and Oskar Schindler are two people who both go against the law to do what they know is right inside. Antigone knows that she must honor the dead, so despite the law t…hat says no one was allowed to bury polynices (or ecophycles I forget which) she does. In Oskar's case, the Nazi government says that Jews are less than human, and need to be exterminated. Oskar saved over 1000 Jews in his factory. The so called "crimes" of both characters were punishishable by death, but both kept on, because death would be preferable to living with the guilt of doing nothing. So Oskar and Antigone are both people who follow the unwritten laws we know inside to be right, not the laws of tyrants. That is how they're alike. (MORE)

What is Oskar Schindler known for?
"Oscar Schindler did what no other German or human being for that matter, at that time,was willing to do to protect a people and save a nation from mass genocide and religious… and ethnic persecution." Schindler was a rich German businessman in Nazi Germany in the 1940s, conducting much of his business in Krackow, Poland when it was under Nazi occupation. However, as the World War II went on he discovered how Hitler and the Nazis were treating Jews, by imprisoning them and exterminating them in gas chambers throughout Poland and that part of Europe. To try and help the Jews, he employed hundreds of them (in reality far more than he needed) as slave labour in his factories, making weapons for the Nazis, so that they could not be sent to the extermination camps. Those Nazi officers who suspected that something was not right were bribed by Schindler not to tell the authorities, who would close the factories and send the Jews to their deaths, and presumably kill Schindler. His vast fortune just held out until the end of the war when the hundreds of Jews he saved were finally freed by the allied forces. Although a Nazi, Schindler was pardoned by the allied forces and is now thought of by the Jewish people as a hero - putting his own safety on the line for the sake of the Jews & there families he saved. Apparently, when questioned, his only regret was that he could not save more. ¨ He bought Jewish owned factories. ¨ . He negotiated the salvation of 1300 Jews, using the Germans' own ways of operating,through bribes, extortion, lies, black marketeering... ¨ . He got in touch with remaining wealthy Jews and had them invest in his company exchanging their money for their protecting, by having them work in his factories as skilled or essential labourers. He then paid of Nazis so they would allow the Jews to stay in Krakow. ¨ . He set up a branch of the Plaszow concentration camp for 900 Jewish workers in his factory and made a list of the workers he would need. ¨ He saved most of the workers by moving his factory to Brunnlitz in October 1944. Oscar Schindler said 'I was a Nazi, and I believed that the Germans were doing wrong ... it didn't mean anything to me that they were Jewish just that they were killing millions of people There is a book written about Schindler called 'Schindler's Ark' that tells of his work saving the Jews in his factories. There is also a movie (film) made by Steven Spielberg about Oskar Schindler called Schindler's List which is one of the most moving movies ever made. Although gruelling in places, at times I would defy anyone not to shed a tear - especially at the end, when a line of hundreds and hundreds of elderly Jews files past Schindler's grave to pay their respects to a great man - all with their own families now, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, who would not be here now had it not been for Schindler.

Was oskar schindler a bad guy?
Oskar was definitely not a bad guy at the beginning of the story he is against the Jews but he learns how mistreated the Jews were and saves 1200 Jews by using his factory a…s a safe place or as the Jews called the paradise. This is definitely true, but he was also immoral in a lot of ways. He drunk ALOT, and he cheated on his wife many times. Of course this does not make him a bad guy because he did more good things then he did bad, but he did do some bad things in his life. (MORE)

His wife Emilie supported him through this.He witnessed a 1942 raid on the Kraków Ghetto, where soldiers shipped the ghetto inhabitants to the concentration camp at Plaszow, and was appalled by the murder of many Jews who had tried to hide. Because of this, he worked to transfer the Jews to a safer place.Schindler used his skills of persuasive speech and his money to bribe government officials to avoid being investigated. He spent millions to protect and save the Jews.After the war, Schindler emigrated to Argentina, but returned to Germany in 1958, bankrupt.Schindler died in Germany on 9 October 1974, at the age of 66.
