No, they had a choice of letting the German government take their money, or give it to Schindler. The German government would give them nothing in exchange, but Schindler would give them a job and some safety.

How did World War II affect Oskar Schindler?
Oskar Schindler was on the unsuccessful side of the Germans and in the Nazi party through the beginning of his war career. He was a wealthy, successful and powerful man and could basically do whatever he had desired. However by the end of the war, Schindler had managed to save over 1,200 innocent Jews by employing them to his factory and making the Germans believe he was only getting them to run his factory. No one was quite certain as to why Schindler, starting off as a powerful German man spontaneously decided to end up as an impoverished life-saver. But what past generations, present generations and future generations will always know is that his unbelievably courageous actions will always be impossible to forget.
Why will Oskar Schindler be remembered?
"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.
How did Oskar Schindler change history?
Oskar Schindler changed by means of becoming a better person (I assume that IS what you mean by "changed") and saved hundreds of Jews from being killed at the height of WWII. Although we don't know for sure, I can assume that Schindler changed because he was starting to notice people being killed. He said once that he could care less if they were Jewish--he just cared that they were being killed. Schindler may have seemed a slimy guy, but he didn't want to see anyone get killed. And he was one of the few with money to do something about it. C: After seeing Jews being killed in the Warsaw Ghetto liquidation, he made a decision to work against the Nazi system. He, like others, did not realize what the Nazis' plans were. Once he saw that, he saved 1200 Jews from certain death. The remnants of that group now number more 6000 today.
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.
