Oskar Schindler

Through out his wonderful life, Oskar Schindler, on no fault of his own, was burdened with deep blue eyes and thick blond hair :)

Oscar Schindler's tree is planted at the Avenue of the Righteous, Holocaust museum of Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, Israel. (31°46´24˝N , 35°10´33˝E)

Schindler got the money to start his company via several donations from close acquaintances and family friends first, and then through countless investments in his idea and through bank accounts.

Oskar Kuchera was born on August 11, 1974, in Moscow, RSFSR, USSR (now Russia).

Oskar Schindler saved almost 1,200 Jews during WWII.

Yes, he's up near Seattle, Washington, US. He's playing with "Lowrider Band". They aren't allowed to use name WAR, for legal reasons. 4 of the 5 surviving members of WAR play under the name of "Lowrider Band".

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

It shows you how out of hand a dictatorship can become, and how timid the people can be to stand up to those kinds of people.

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.

None. He did receive the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award in the 1987 Academy Awards show.

Oskar schindler and amon goeth had a pretty bad relationship.

in the eyes of Amon Goeth they seem like friends but while Oskar Schindler is getting him drunk and is persuading him into letting him make barracks at his factory Oskar really doesn't like Amon.

he is just using him to save more Jews in his factory

"Oscar Schindler did what no other German or human being for that matter, at that time,was willing to do to protect a people and save a nation from mass genocide and religious and ethnic persecution."

Schindler was a rich German businessman in Nazi Germany in the 1940s, conducting much of his business in Krackow, Poland when it was under Nazi occupation. However, as the World War II went on he discovered how Hitler and the Nazis were treating Jews, by imprisoning them and exterminating them in gas chambers throughout Poland and that part of Europe. To try and help the Jews, he employed hundreds of them (in reality far more than he needed) as slave labour in his factories, making weapons for the Nazis, so that they could not be sent to the extermination camps. Those Nazi officers who suspected that something was not right were bribed by Schindler not to tell the authorities, who would close the factories and send the Jews to their deaths, and presumably kill Schindler. His vast fortune just held out until the end of the war when the hundreds of Jews he saved were finally freed by the allied forces. Although a Nazi, Schindler was pardoned by the allied forces and is now thought of by the Jewish people as a hero - putting his own safety on the line for the sake of the Jews & there families he saved. Apparently, when questioned, his only regret was that he could not save more.

¨ He bought Jewish owned factories.

¨ . He negotiated the salvation of 1300 Jews, using the Germans' own ways of operating,through bribes, extortion, lies, black marketeering...

¨ . He got in touch with remaining wealthy Jews and had them invest in his company exchanging their money for their protecting, by having them work in his factories as skilled or essential labourers. He then paid of Nazis so they would allow the Jews to stay in Krakow.

¨ . He set up a branch of the Plaszow concentration camp for 900 Jewish workers in his factory and made a list of the workers he would need.

¨ He saved most of the workers by moving his factory to Brunnlitz in October 1944.

Oscar Schindler said 'I was a Nazi, and I believed that the Germans were doing wrong ... it didn't mean anything to me that they were Jewish just that they were killing millions of people

There is a book written about Schindler called 'Schindler's Ark' that tells of his work saving the Jews in his factories. There is also a movie (film) made by Steven Spielberg about Oskar Schindler called Schindler's List which is one of the most moving movies ever made. Although gruelling in places, at times I would defy anyone not to shed a tear - especially at the end, when a line of hundreds and hundreds of elderly Jews files past Schindler's grave to pay their respects to a great man - all with their own families now, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, who would not be here now had it not been for Schindler.

He originally opened it to make money and used the Jews as cheap labor but he grew a bond with the Jews and then kept the factory open to save their life.

He was born in Svitavy just inside Moravia in what is now the Czech Republic. During World War 2 he lived in Krakow, Poland. He died in Hildesheim (Lower Saxony, Germany) in 1974 but is buried in Jerusalem.

Yes there is still many of Jews that was on the list alive

• Oskar Schindler was born into a wealthy business family on 28 April 1908 in Zwittau, now Svitavy, Bohemia, which was then part of Austria-Hungary, but is now the Czech Republic.
• Because he was a businessman, he initially sought to profit from the German invasion of Poland in 1939 by buying a factory in Krakow at a low price and employing Jews as cheap labour.
• Schindler began to hide wealthy Jewish investors, possibly for profit, but later he began shielding his workers without regard to cost. His wife Emilie supported him through this.
• He witnessed a 1942 raid on the Kraków Ghetto, where soldiers shipped the ghetto inhabitants to the concentration camp at Plaszow, and was appalled by the murder of many Jews who had tried to hide. Because of this, he worked to transfer the Jews to a safer place.
• Schindler used his skills of persuasive speech and his money to bribe government officials to avoid being investigated. He spent millions to protect and save the Jews.
• After the war, Schindler emigrated to Argentina, but returned to Germany in 1958, bankrupt.
• Schindler died in Germany on 9 October 1974, at the age of 66. His cause of death is variously cited as being stroke or liver failure.

Oskar Schindler is indeed the man that is accredited with saving 1200 members of the Jewish faith from the tyranny of the Nazis in WW2. The film Schindler's list is a Biopic movie based on those events.

no, he doesn't as he believed that there was a rule that form the results should only be announced by the headmasters on the last day of term.

"Schindler was arrested three times on suspicion of black market activities and complicity in embezzlement, as well as breaking the Nuremberg Laws by kissing a Jewish girl."

He never went to trial.

Others did, but no one else has the current profile that Schindler has (thanks to the Hollywood film).

There were others that risked much more than Schindler and others that saved much greater numbers.

He didn't do what the other Nazis were doing, killing the Jews. Instead he saved them and the other Nazis did not like him for that. After he saved the Jews he was hunted by the Nazis because of his betrayal.
