In "Schindler's List," the one-armed machinist is a character named Itzhak Stern, portrayed by Ben Kingsley. Stern is a Jewish accountant who assists Oskar Schindler in running his factory and plays a crucial role in helping Schindler save the lives of many Jews during the Holocaust. His character embodies resilience and resourcefulness amidst the horrors of war.
In "Schindler's List," Jews wanted to work in Oskar Schindler's factory as it offered a chance for survival during the Holocaust. Being employed there provided them with relative safety from deportation to concentration camps, as Schindler's factory was deemed essential for war production. Additionally, the factory provided food, shelter, and a sense of community, making it a beacon of hope in a dire situation. Ultimately, working for Schindler represented a lifeline amidst the pervasive threat of death.
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.
Oskar Schindler became an unlikely hero when he saved hundreds of Jews in Poland and Czechoslovakia from death at the hands of the Nazis during World War II. He was a heavy drinker and a womanizer; he was an opportunist and a crook; he was a profiteer and an egotist. He was also a member of the Nazi Party. But in the end, to roughly 1,300 Jewish people none of that mattered. To these survivors, Oskar Schindler was simply yet miraculously, a savior. The Schindler's List saved the lives of roughly 1,300 Jews. Schindler was brought up in the Catholic faith and remained a Roman Catholic throughout his life. After school he worked as a commercial salesman. The expirience had him opening his shop were he saved the lives of 1300 jews.
