Oskar Schindler
A fellow German man, named Oskar Schindler, is most famous for outwitting Hitler and the Nazis to save more Jews from the Gas chambers than any other during World War Two. Schindler surfaced from the chaos of madness, spent millions bribing and paying off the SS (Secret Service) and eventually risking his life to rescue the Schindler Jews. Millions of Jews died in the Nazi death camps, but Schindler’s Jews miraculously survived. To more than 1 200 Jewish people Oskar Schindler was all that stood between them and death at the hands of the Nazis.
Schindler was full of flaws and the unlikeliest of all role models who started by earning millions as a war profiteer and ended by spending his past pfennig and risking his life to save the Jews. He remained true to his Jews, the workers by referring to them as my children. In the shadow of Auschwitz he kept everyone alive. Emilie, Oskar’s wife, worked indefatigably to save the Schindler Jews. Today there are more than 7 000 descendants of the Schindler Jews living in the US and Europe, and many in Israel. Before World War Two, the Jewish population of Poland was 3.5 million and today there are between 3 000 and 4 000 left. He died penniless but earning the everlasting gratitude of the Schindler-Jews. Today his name is known as a household word for courage and brutality; a hero who saved hundreds of Jews from Hitler’s gas chambers and death.
Oskar and his wife Emilie were inspiring evidence of courage and human decency during the Holocaust. They were rescuers and what he did was well worth it.
