  The story of Oskar Schindler and the enamel factory

Oskar Schindler was a German industrialist from the Sudetenland in the Czech Republic and was a member and activist in the Nazi Party before World War II. He came to Krakow as an industrialist looking for business opportunities created by the dispossession of the Jews. This is how he actually took over the enamel factory that belonged to two Jews from Krakow.

Initially, Schindler managed to make the factory extremely profitable and behaved very extravagantly and, among other things, was a sponsor of the Krakow football team. Among his employees were Jews who came every day from the ghetto. In time, the Nazi governor of Krakow, Hans Frank, began the campaign to exterminate the Jews in Krakow. Initially by expelling them from the city, then concentrating them in the ghetto and finally evacuating them to the extermination camps.

Oskar Schindler who saw the difficult life of his Jewish workers began to become emotionally attached to them and at the point in time when the actions and deportations to the extermination camps came, he managed to keep his workers from being sent to the camps. It cost him a lot of money and in fact he lost all his property in order to help his Jewish employees. During the war, Schindler was arrested and interrogated several times by the Gestapo because he did things against the Nazi laws. Among other things, he gave testimony whose purpose was to reach the President of the United States about the extermination of the Jews in the camps and of course the rescue of Jews who were no longer able to work, but Schindler kept them and financed them in order to save them.

Oskar Schindler was declared a disciple of the nations of the world and Steven Spielberg's film brought his story to world recognition.
