Who was Oskar Schindler?
Oskar Schindler born, April 28, 1908 - October 9, he was a german industiralist and a member fo the Nazi Party. He has been credited with saving 1200 jews during the Hollocaust by employing htem in his enamelware and ammunition factories. He had a movie made after him that we watched in class called, Schindlers List directed by Steven Spielberg. This was a very accurate description of the Holocaust and saw how the Jewish community was enialated by a bunch of madmen. In the movie is described Schindler as a opportunist initially motivated by profit. Then later he showed some sympathy and actully showed how he cared for the Jews. Schindler was apart of the intelligence service of Nazi Germany. When he died on October 9th, 1974 in Hildesheim, Germany and he was buried in Jerusalem on Mount Zion, the only memeber of the Nazi Party to be hounoured in this way.

Great explanation this is a very helpful post. You could have also added some things about his personal views away from the Nazi party and maybe why he ended up helping all of these people when he didn't need to and was even encouraged not to.
ReplyDeleteSchindler was one of those few heroes back in the war, and he had a really huge impact for the Jews. He saved so many of them and that makes Oskar Schindler a good person.
