Oskar Schindler: A Hero Of The Holocaust
“Schindler our protector, he was the only one who could protect us.” is a quote by Sol Urbach, a refugee of Oskar Schindler. Oskar Schindler was a Holocaust rescuer who saved over 1,200 prisoners during World War II. He rescued many of these prisoners by employing them in his factory as an excuse for their release.

Schindler maintained a special relationship with his workers, so they were called “Schindlerjuden” (Schindler Jews). By the end of the war, Schindler was penniless; he had spent all of his money to protect his workers. All of these contributions that Oskar Schindler made has a great effect on American history. Schindler not only saved people’s lives, but he also showed people to use what you have for the benefit of others. Many people look up to Schindler for his sacrifices and his contribution to the end of World War II and the freedom of hundreds of Jewish
