Oskar Schindler as first a businessman and a Nazi second. As the war turned against Germany in 1943, he saw that Germany was going to lose the war. He also saw the atrocities committed by the SS at different camps in the east. That Horror really opened his eyes and made him question his allegiance to the Nazi cause. By the time the famous list was devised, he really felt so much sympathy and shame for not speaking out against the Germans. I think the Jews at the concentration camp and the factory that they worked at, truly felt they could trust Schindler and that he was a repentent German. Also, people of all stripes, Jews and non-Jews, have a great will to live and certainly these people, after experiencing hell on earth for several years, wanted to survive and to be a living testament to the atrocities of the Third Reich. If they wanted to have the best chance to survive the war, most felt that Schindler gave them the best hope for survival. Obviously, they made the right decision and after the war, a memorial was establish in Israel recognizing Oskar Shindler's role in saving Jewish lives.
-------------------------------------------------------
They did not have much choice, they had to give up all of their money in the banks, they had to surrender their property and it was illegal to carry much money and risked being searched at any time. Schindler offered some protection in the form of a job, but he did not offer any shares in his company. He was in no way seen as a repentent German (at this stage).
He was only memorialised in Israel after the film came out. Four decades after his wife was, her deeds are not depicted in the film.
