Through his creative, daring, and never-ending acts of courage during World War II, Oskar Schindler saved thousands of Jews from death. In order to protect his Jewish workers from being seized by the Nazis, Schindler falsified factory records: old people were 20 years younger; children were listed as adults; lawyers, doctors, and engineers were registered as metalworkers, mechanics, and draftsmen – all trades considered essential to war production. Schindler’s compassion and sacrifice were unstinting. He spent every bit of money and even traded his wife’s jewelry for food, clothing, medicine and schnapps to bribe the SS investigators. “Schindler’s List is not a Jewish story, or a German story, but a human story,” says filmmaker, Steven Spielberg. ‘1t is my hope that Schindler’s List will inspire this generation and future generations to seek an end to racial hatred.”
