Did Oskar Schindler want to save the Jews when he employed them 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.

Is oskar schindler a hero?
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 as 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.
