Emilie Schindler - Before the war Schindler she was in poverty, born in Germany on a farm with animals such as geese and cows. She first met Oskar Schindler when she was 20 when he was with his father. He visits became a routine and they later married.
During the War she wasn't around him alot which would allow Oskar to flirt with women. During this time he started hiring Jews who were in the ghettos for cheap labor while also helping them to stay alive. Throughout the war Oskar was arrested many times by the Nazis for bribery among other things but Emilie was vital in keeping the company together when he was arrested. Without both of their efforts the factory would have been closed and those Jews sent back with an uncertain fate awaiting them.
Emilie did so many things to help save the jews that were working for her husband even when she wasn't around. After the death of Oskar she moved to Argentina and lived there until the last days of her life.
