Oskar Schindler


He saved the most Jewish people during World War II. The society at that point of time was going downhill and almost came to a big crash. Hitler could have destroyed a whole race of people if it wasn't for the help of Oskar Schindler. Although he did join the Nazi's, Schindler still had a heart and a mind to know what Adolf Hitler was doing was wrong and immoral and to try and help save as many Jews as he possibly can. At the end of the war, some Jewish survivors gave him a gold ring in which was inscribed from the Talmud, "Whoever saves a single life, saves the world entire." .
             Additionally, Schindler performed a very courageous deed that reflected the value of the era. He saved over one thousand Jewish people from going to labor or death camps. He risked his life for people he has never even met. Schindler received word that a train of evacuated Jews from Golezow camp was stranded in the nearby city of Svitavy. As he has done twice before, Schindler pulled some strings at the top and got permission from German officials to take his workers to the nearby station to rescue the stranded. Once at the station, they forced the doors open to the rail car and saved about one hundred half frozen Jews and did their best to nurse the ill back to health, and those who did not survive received a proper Jewish burial. .
             Also, the actions of Oskar Schindler determined the fate of the Jewish. He set up his own enamel factory and employed a little under one thousand Jews. Schindler again pulled some strings and opened a new factory in a new location making defective bullets for German guns. "Beyond this day, no thinking person could fail to see what would happen," Schindler said. "I was now resolved to do everything in my power to defeat the system." That is exactly what Schindler did too. Though many Jews died because of the holocaust, Schindler did save over one thousand Jews from death, which practically saved an entire race from becoming extinct.
