Oskar Schindler opened and Enamel factory where able Jews were hired to work. The would earn the things they needed to live while making pots and pans for Nazi soldiers. Working at the factory saved this group of Jews from death or torture.There was a point where these "Schindler Jews" were sent by Schindler to his hometown on separate trains, women on one and men on the other. The train with the men on it got safely to Schindler's hometown. However, a mistake was made and the women ended up at Auschwitz, the most infamous death camp. These woman were nearly killed, but Schindler managed to save them just in time.
Why did Oskar Schindler start providing jobs during the holocaust?

Why did Oskar Schindler use his money to save the people from the death camps?
Because he knew that it was not really his money, the money was given to him by the Jews in exchange for work, work that they would not be paid for, but only because having a job meant that they would live. His factories were also run by these Jews, in escence he was saving these Jews with the money that they had earned, in the knowledge that they would earn him more.

What happened to Oskar Schindler after the war?
Sadly, Oskar Schindler had spent his entire personal fortune during the war on bribing Nazi officials and buying food for his Jewish workers. His factory was situated in what was to become Communist-dominated Polish territory, so after the war he choose to move to West Germany. There, he received $ 15,000 for his troubles, although his expenses during the war came to well over a million dollars. An effort to start a farm in Argentine failed. He returned to Germany and had to live on support payments from the Jews he had saved during the war. He died in 1974 and was buried in Jerusalem.
How did Oscar choose who would live in the holocaust?
He did not pick who he would save and who he would. He simply help who ever he could when he could. If he saw people who were still fit and looked able to work he would "employ" them because at least they looked able to work, whereas if he had of "employed" people who were not as fit as what they were meant to be, they would be executed anyways and it would have been more obvious that Schindler was helping the Jews.

How did schindler get his workers to the factory?
When discussing about the final solution he asked if he could take some of the Jews as free labor, which was not weird at all and usually happened. Then he would keep asking for more Jews so he could use them for other jobs. He and his wife saved many Jews from going to concentration camps without the Nazis knowing.

Did the Jews reward Schindler for saving them?
Post war conditions were hard on former members of the Nazi Party. Oskar Schindler is no exception. He had spent his fortune bribing and cajoling officials in Nazi Germany to allow him to conduct his business free from the harsh realities of regime life. His various post war ventures (many of them backed by Jewish contributions), failed. There were many points where he and his wife relied on assistance from Jewish organizations. He died penniless.But in death his honour was secured, and his legend has grown in the past fifteen years with the release of the Spielberg movie, Schindler's List. The fact remains that Oskar Schindler sacrificed personal fortune and glory for the common good; for the sake of humanity."Schindler wanted to be buried in Jerusalem, as he said, "My children are here".[13] After a Requiem Mass, Schindler was buried at the Catholic Franciscans' cemetery[16] on Mount Zion, the only member of the Nazi Party to be honoured in this way.[3] A sign at the entrance to the cemetery directs visitors "To Oskar Schindler's Grave".Schindler's grave is located on the mountainside below Zion Gate and the Old City walls. Stones placed on top of the grave are a sign of gratitude from Jewish visitors, according to Jewish tradition, although Schindler himself was not Jewish. On his grave, the Hebrew inscription reads: "Righteous among the Nations", an honorific used by the State of Israel to describe non-Jews who risked their lives during the Holocaust to save Jews from extermination by the Nazis. The German inscription reads: "The Unforgettable Lifesaver of 1200 Persecuted Jews".No one knows what Schindler's motives were. He was quoted as saying "I knew the people who worked for me... When you know people, you have to behave towards them like human beings."[17]The writer Herbert Steinhouse, who interviewed Schindler in 1948 at the behest of some of the surviving Schindlerjuden(Schindler's Jews), wrote:"Oskar Schindler's exceptional deeds stemmed from just that elementary sense of decency and humanity that our sophisticated age seldom sincerely believes in. A repentant opportunist saw the light and rebelled against the sadism and vile criminality all around him. The inference may be disappointingly simple, especially for all amateur psychoanalysts who would prefer the deeper and more mysterious motive that may, it is true, still lie unprobed and unappreciated. But an hour with Oskar Schindler encourages belief in the simple answer."[3]"I personally am not a religious man, but I am not without spirit. And Oskar Schindler's actions are chock full of that! Schindler's actions were their own reward. He did all that he could to save the lives of approximately 1200 people. And they and their ancestors live on. That is a greater reward than any earthly silver or gold.But those people had a rough go of it, to say the least. They were ripped out of their homes. They saw their families disappear, and drop like flies. They were subject to horrors far worse than anything Hollywood can conjure. Nowhere in recorded human history has such a terrible ordeal been recorded. People were turned into bars of soap. Tests were done, to see how many cracks of a hammer a living human skull could sustain. The skins of the dead were stretched into lamp shades, furniture covers, and book jackets. Oskar Schindler is one of the few noted (among others unrecorded, I am sure), who performed their duty as human beings during a very dark period of human history.While I do not wish to diminish the great actions of this great man, it should be remembered that his actions only stand out because they are among the very few (recorded) right things amidst a sea of wrong. And being judged right in history, especially by the victors when you are on the other side, is a reward (IMHO) greater than all the gold in Israel.
