Why did Oskar schindler have a list?

In early 1944, however, Plaszow's designation was changed from that of a labor camp to a concentration camp. This meant that its prisoners were suddenly marked for transport to death camps such as Auschwitz. Then came word in the summer that the main camp was to be closed as well as Schindler's factory. Schindler approached Goeth about moving his factory and his workers to Czechoslovakia so that they might continue to supply the Third Reich (Hitler's army) with vital war supplies. After another bribe, the SS officer agreed to throw his support behind the plan and told Schindler to draw up a list of those people he wanted to take with him. Schindler was now faced with the task of choosing those he wanted to save-literally a matter of life and death. Schindler came up with a list containing some eleven hundred names, including all the employees of Emalia Camp and a number of others as well

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.

It puts a face to the statistics you read in your text books.

How did schindler get his workers to the factory?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.
