Oscar Schindler .....a hero behind the scenes
Oscar was a German industrialist born on April 28,1908. Many people have mixed emotions about him because in some cases he was preceived as a hero and in others eyes he was looked as someone who was a betrayer. For those who believe that he was a betrayer was because he was a former member to the Nazi party. He was a hero because he saved about 1,200 Jews from death due to the Nazis blindness of acceptance. He risked his life througout the Holoscost to save lives that were persicuted for who they are and there religous background. Here is where it is questionable, since he was an industrialist, he would buy jewish property and other related items, some people call him money hungry and womanizing. He was caught in a midst of a Nazi takeover but oddlyenough he didnt abandon his activities although he saw the Nazis manifesto. He died in Hildesheim in 1974 .His life striked the lives and was the meraculous inspiration to the novel written in 1982 called " Schindler's Ark". The book told his story and revealed the truth. Then the movie "Schindlers list" was filmed and released in 1993 in his honnor of his life and the difficulties in it.
