=Oskar Schindler=

Overview
Oskar Schindler was born in 1908 in a German province called Zwittau, Moravia. He attended a German school and he had many friends. He grew up to help his father in selling farm equipment. He soon left this business and became a sales manager for an electric company. When Hitler was in power he joined a pro-Nazi group. He did not really approve of the Nazi it just helped out his business. He followed the army to Poland and became friends with some of the men. He then sold the illegal goods, such as cigars. In 1940 he bought a kitchenware factory. One of his friends was hired as the book keeper, he was a Jewish man.

Central Point
With his business he sold many kitchenware items to the army. He needed employees so he looked at the ghetto that was full of Jewish people at the time. He hired many Jews for cheep labor. By this time Hitler said that any Jewish person that was not "work-essential" had to leave the city. Many Jews then hurried to find jobs. In 1942 Jewish people were now bring sent away to camps. Schindler's workers were one of the first targets. He went to the train station and argued with an officer, saying that he needed them as workers for war efforts. Schindler also mentioned some of his German army friends and the officer let them go. Then in 1943 all Jews were sentenced to labor camps. Schindler decided to set up his own mini labor camp inside his factory so Jews could stay there, the German army agreed after a bribe. In 1944 Schindler got the "okay" to move his factory to Czechoslovakia, he wrote down eleven hundred names of Jews that he wanted to bring with him.

Conclusion
For almost a year with his new factory, Schindler never produced a working weapon or shell to supply the German army. He claimed he was having start up difficulties but he really tried to do this so he could save the Jewish people. When the war ended Schindler went west so he was not to be captured. The Russian army soon came to his factory and they freed all of the Jews that were there. in the end Schindler save over twelve hundred Jewish people form the Nazi.
