It is sometimes called a factory of death.
Oskar Schindler was a member of the Nazi party. He was rich and could get a lot of things from people higher ranked than him. At the time, Jews were being sent off to Labour and Concentration camps. 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.
I guess the Schindler Jews had not had their Sabbath in a while and it was a kind gesture by Schindler. They had been working hard in his factory and the Sabbath is a day of rest and worship, so it was a break as well
In the movie Schindler's list it was called "DEUTSCHE EMAILWARENFABRIK". It was also called "Emalia" for short.The abbreviation was D.E.F. He also had another factory where he made artillery shells that were 100% inneffective but i dont know the name for it.
it was originally an expansion of Auschwitz, meant as housing for forced labour. it developed into a killing factory.

Enamelware or pots and pans
nowhere had 'gas showers' Krakow was a ghetto, not a death camp. Although there was a concentration camp: Plaszow-Krakau, which provided labour for (amongst others) the Schindler factory.

He didn't; he made them work in his factory.
It seems possible for Oskar Schindler to bring the Jews into his factory and not want to save them, which is echoed throughout Thomas Keneally's book Schindlers Ark and Steven Speilbergs portrayal of Oskar Schindler in Schindler's List. However is it evidential proof that Oskar in the end saved around 1200 Jews from the Nazi's and it seems more logical to believe that he employed these Jews in his factory to protect them from those who did not share his belief such as Nazi SS member Amon Goeth. It is more simple and understandable to believe that Oskar only claimed the Schindlerjuden as essential workers that were nessessary for his factory's production and that he employed them to save them from a more disasterous fate of continued forced labour as Plaszow or certain death after a relocation to the Nazi death camps, most noticeably Auschwitz. There was no business motive for Oskar when he continued to look after and protect the Schindlerjuden, even at times, for example, when the Schindlerfrauen were sent to Auschwitz instead of Brinnlitz. Oskar's only motive to employing the Jews and bringing them into his factory was to save them and give them a chance of a second life after the end of the Second World War.
Auschwitz was a bloody place to be in and at the time it was used as a death factory which worsen peoples lifes
