Oskar Schindler
Oskar Schindler
“ Heroes evolve; they aren't born.”
I believe that Schindler became a hero over the course of his life. In the beginning of the movie my prospective is that he seemed like he didn't care either way. He was a business man trying to learn the loop holes and get money. By sending high ranking officers drinks, food, gift brackets, and other treats, he began to earn their respect and trust. Still early on in the film, he went horse back riding with is girlfriend and saw a little girl in a red coat trying to hide. Then he went to visit a camp, and notice the little girl's body about to be put in the fire. Schindler bought the Jews and had them work in good working conditions, to save their lives. Like, one women came to his office, but she was really a Jew. She begged him to buy her parents so they would not died, and he did. They started to call it the “ Safe Heaven.” So progressing into the movie, we see Schindler changing and finally at the end the saved 1,200 Jews. He cried before fleeing and thought he could save more Jews with his car and Nazi gold pin. Risking his business and his life he didn't think twice about saving the Jews. His name now and forevermore is "The Unforgettable Lifesaver of 1,200 Persecuted Jews."
There is another part of me that says that heroes are also born. I am a christian and I believe that God picks people for a reason. In Matthew 22:14 it says “ Many are called few are chosen.” But it is up to the person to hear God's voice. I don't know if Schindler heard God's voice, and we might never know, but we do know the he was chosen to save God's people.
My final thought is that Schindler is a hero, whether he was born a hero or became one over time. He said, "I knew the people who worked for me... When you know people, you have to behave towards them like human beings." We will never forget his brave and courageous act.
