Was Oskar Schindler A Behavior Or A Sinner

Oskar Schindler’s identity drastically changes from the beginning to the end of the movie. At first, Schindler was a greedy, selfish, and rich man, who was a member of the Nazi party and profited from the war. He also was a womanizer who constantly cheated on his wife. He only cared about making money and he only hired Jewish workers because they were cheaper. He saved his workers initially because he did not want to pay to train other workers and protected them since he believed that their welfare impacted his business. He saw Jewish people differently than other Germans, he saw them as workers, and he inadvertently developed a reputation for kindness. He did not do this at first to be a

In December 1939, as the German-occupied Poland was being torn up by the events of the Holocaust, Schindler took his first steps in becoming a Holocaust hero. “If you saw a dog going to be crushed under a car,” he said later of his wartime actions, “wouldn't you help him?”(“Oskar Schindler,” Jewish Virtual Library).

Schindler's List is one of the most powerful movies of all time. It presents the indelible true story of enigmatic German businessman Oskar Schindler who becomes an unlikely saviour of more than 1100 Jews amid the barbaric Nazi reign. A German Catholic war profiteer, Schindler moved to Krakow in 1939 when Germany overran Poland. There he opens an enamelware factory that, on the advice of his Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern, was staffed by Jews from the nearby forced labour camp at Plaszow. Schindler's factory prospered though his contacts with the Nazi war machine and its local representatives, as well as his deft skill on the black market. Then, somewhere along the way, Schindler's devotion to self-interest was

Oskar Schindler rescued Jews from being deported to concentration camps by getting them to work for him. He treated them all very well and they were all exempt from Auschwitz. He got arrested on charges of irregularities and favoring Jews. He set up factories in Krakow, home of about 60,000 Jews. The factories primarily had Jewish workers. He got permission to keep his factories if he moved them to Brunnlitz. There were 700 men and 300 women deported to Auschwitz, when Schindler found out he got them released and sent to work for him. Oskar and his wife Emily both helped rescue Jews. Emily stopped a cattle car with 120 Jewish men in it and she convinced the SS officer that the men were needed for work. As a result the men were sent back to work for Oskar and Emily. Together they rescued over 1,000 Jews.

Oskar Schindler helped many jews survive the holocaust and he also helped many jews start new lives away from Germany. Oskar took at least 900 Jews from the Plazow death camp and made them work in his factory where they would be safe from the Nazi’s. Oskar at first was with the Germans and their attempts to get rid of all the jews but when he saw the cruel things that they did to the jews he had a change of heart. So when he took in the jews to his factory his workers began manufacturing defective ammunition for the Germans. Oskar helped many jews avoid death and instead kept them in a place where they would be safe.

Oskar Schindler was a hero in World War II. He endured many conflicts. The main battle he faced was during World War II. During World War II, Oskar Schindler was a German businessman who saved Jews in Poland and Czechoslovakia from death by employing them in his factory (“Oskar Schindler” 362).

I choose this quote because today all nazis are looked at as monsters and terrible people. This is true for the majority of nazis, but not all. People like Schindler are reason why the 3.5 million Jews survived the holocaust. My reaction to this quote was total shock because just like everyone else I believed all nazis were terrible. This quote gave me a different point of view towards nazis and showed me that some nazis actually helped the Jews survive. Mr. Schindler alone saved nearly 1,200 innocent Jews from death. He did this by hiring Jews to work for him and in return gave them some food and a place to stay outside of the concentration camps. He did much more for his jewish employees than would ever be expected from him. For

Oskar Schindler, a German businessman became an unlikely hero when he saved eleven hundred Jews in Poland and Czechoslovakia from death at the hands of the Nazis during World War Two. Though he was in the Nazi party himself, he employed all these Jews to work in his factory to keep them safe from being deported into death camps. Some say he is an opportunist just out there to make the extra dollar; many others say that he is a hero that did this amazing act just from the kindness of his heart. who he was, what he did, why he did it, and finally why he is considered a hero.

Schindler was a rescuer of the jews because he was not a fan of how they were treated. When asked why he saved them he replied by saying “I knew the people who worked for me. When you know people, you have to behave towards them like human beings.” Unlike the nazis and Hitler, Oscar Schindler saw jews as normal human beings and did not use them and make them do manual labor just to survive and not be killed. He did make them work just so the nazis did not come in and just kill all of them or take them back to a concentration camp and abuse them. The condition Oscar Schindler had was when he had the jews working for him that he didn’t want them to make any of the bullets functional and allow them to be fired and kill

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.

Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) is a German businessman who takes advantage of the war to make money. He uses his skills and reputation as a businessman to save the lives of many Jewish people during World War II by hiring them as workers in his factory. Once the SS is ordered to start killing Jews in the Krakow Ghetto, Schindler begins to create a list with all the names of his workers. The list is a tool that protects his workers from any harm by the Nazis so he can keep his factory up and running, Oskar then realizes that his business is saving the lives of many innocent people.

Schindler risked his life to save the Jews, as his growing compassion towards the Jews took over him; he is a human being, who is sensitive to the suffering of others, which is why witnessing such horror changed his character significantly. Drinking and partying were ideals of Schindler's lifestyle, yet he left all of it to help people he had no personal connection towards; he spent all his money in efforts to save the Jews, and still wanted to save more. In the last scene of the movie, Schindler is distraught and heartbroken, as he looks towards his car stating, “This car. Goeth would have bought this car. Why did I keep the car? Ten people right there. Ten people. Ten more people.”; even in his final moments with the Jews, he believes he could have saved more, even though, he had saved 1100 single handedly. Therefore, his motive was humanity, as no one can idly stand by as individuals are stripped of their lives and slaughtered like animals; you are no less of an animal if you can kill and torture without feeling. Witnessing the unprecedented suffering and unwarranted horrors of

In this paper I will try to explain who the man Oscar Schindler was, where he came from, and what his motivation was for saving so many Jews. I will further highlight the reasons why, and explain the methods he used to save 1,200 people during World War 11. I will also further discuss the ethical implications of these actions and believes. The reader can at the end of this paper decide for himself or herself if Oscar Schindler, while partaking in the Holocaust, who could be considered as one of the greatest heroes of the century, was a bystander, persecutor or a rescuer.

Leadership has played a valuable role throughout history in countless leaders and even followers. Although some of the greatest leaders in history lead for a more notorious cause, the leadership skills they conveyed and followed were key to the success of their goal and accomplishments. I believe Oskar Schindler was a great leader for many reasons because of how he dealt with the Nazi party during the Holocaust and how he adapted to change and from that change resulted in saving over a thousand Jews from death. Oskar Schindler shows how sometimes a leader has to change his values and therefore his actions to accommodate the surroundings and situation. As a result to this change

Oskar Schindler, a name very dear to many Jewish families. A man with a significant stance in the history of WWII. A man, who found so much kindness in his heart, he helped over 1,000 jews avoid death. Born in the Czech republic in 1908, he was an ethnic German, and catholic. Having a fairly easy, and wealthy life, he grew to be a semi-successful entrepreneur. He eventually joined the Nazi party to gain even more business opportunities than the average man. Eventually, pushing his way through business, and gaining Nazi connections, he constructed the ever famous “Emalia” factory. This factory would eventually be the savior of 1,000 Jews. He immigrated to Argentina after the end of the war. He took with him his wife, and a couple of Jews that invested in his factory when it was being established. He left his wife, and the Jews, and returned to Germany alone. It is assumed that him and his wife got into a huge argument, and she kicked him out, but most likely, he went alone on his own accord.
