Jews in Krakow elected 24 Jews to form a committee to help Jews gathered in the city solve the problems of accommodation and meals, labor distribution and dispute resolution.
oskar schindler, a German entrepreneur who just came to Krakow from his hometown, is tall, handsome and charming. He made generous friends with German officers and SS in hotels and various social occasions.
Schindler also went to the registration office to find a Jew named Yitzhak stine who had worked as an accountant in an enamel factory in Lieboz. Schindler intends to buy the badly run enamel factory to produce edible utensils, supply military supplies and make war money. He wants stine to be his accountant and assistant to manage the factory. What puzzled stine was: What did Schindler do?
the funds were put in place again, and the factory was renamed as Emma. The SS stipulates that the wages of Jewish skilled workers are 7 marks per day, and those of other types of work and female workers are 5 marks per day, but they must all be paid directly to the government finance department, and Jews can't get a penny. The wages of Polish workers are higher. Therefore, Jews became Schindler's natural choice.
The recruitment office was crowded with people. stine carefully gave effective guidance to the applicants, helped his compatriots find suitable places, and secretly forged various qualification certificates for teachers and musicians who did not have the conditions to enter the factory to avoid being blacklisted and let the Germans put them on the truck and send them away.
One day, a one-armed worker named Ruinstein came to Schindler to thank him in person. He said that he was almost killed by the SS, and he was grateful that the factory saved him. He would repay him. But when cleaning the snow in the future, Ruinstein was pulled out of the team by German officers and shot. Schindler negotiated with the Germans, and a senior SS officer told him that letting Jews have a place in the enterprise meant betrayal.
Once, stine and many Jews were put on a train. When Schindler learned of it, he rushed to the station, wisely reprimanded the German officer, found stine at the window when the train started, and left him behind, blaming him for not forgetting to bring his work permit in the future to avoid this catastrophe.
On March 13th, 1943, the Jews in Krakow were massacred. SS drove a military vehicle with a group of German shepherd into the Jewish quarter. When they saw one killing another, Krakow was in a state of cold, and everyone was as frightened as a bird. It's tragic to have a bloody affair. Schindler, who came back from riding with his mistress, stopped at the hillside and was greatly shocked by what he saw. The unbearable mistress sobbed and begged him to leave.
Schindler is worried when he looks at the empty factory. After much deliberation, he decided to go to the SS commander, Amon Gott, and ask him to approve the establishment of the Emalia factory as an affiliated labor camp to resume production. Gott said that there are many conditions to achieve the goal, so as to take the opportunity to earn a ticket. Schindler naturally got the message, saying that as long as he helps, he will give a satisfactory reward.
Schindler came to Prasho Labor Camp and took the opportunity to meet stine. Stine told him not to forget to give birthday gifts to SS officers and their families, but also to honor the people of the Ministry of Finance and the Quartermaster Bureau on time, and the expenses of SS headquarters must be sent on the first day of each month. In exchange for the right to open a metal processing plant in a concentration camp.
Schindler's factory became a refuge for many Jews in the days when the Germans slaughtered Jews madly. When Schindler celebrated his birthday, he blew out the candles on the five-storey cake and kissed every woman around him. The Jewish girl in the factory took a Jewish girl and held their cakes to wish him a happy birthday on behalf of all the workers. Schindler also kissed them, but he didn't expect it to get into trouble.
The Gestapo arrested Schindler for violating the Fuehrer's racial laws and inadvertently kissing the Jewish girl who delivered the cake. Gott explained to Gestapo leader Julies, interceded for Schindler, and solved the problem with money. Schindler was released on bail after some warnings.
There was an order on the radio that all living Jews should gather in the square at once. Jews who have just arrived in the concentration camp from Hungary don't know what fate awaits them. Amon Gott ordered the extermination of all sick Jews. Hearing the officer say that they should take off their clothes to check their bodies, women broke their fingers and squeezed out blood to add color to their faces and lips.
On the platform, the Jews who stayed in the stuffy tank car suffered from the scorching sun, and their thirst was unbearable. Schindler handed Gott cold soda to sit on the platform and suggested calling a fire truck and spraying the Jews with water taps for fun. So Gott ordered the soldiers to carry out it, and the Jews greeted the fountain of life with their mouths. Schindler told the soldiers to spray more on the roof of the car, watching what he realized, and the smile on his face suddenly converged.
In April p>1944, more than 1, Jews were killed in the Jewish settlements in Krakow and Prasho. Amon Gott was ordered by his superiors to dig up the buried bodies and incinerate them, and transported the rest of the Jews to Auschwitz concentration camp. Schindler asked Gott to give his accountant special treatment after learning about this situation.
Seeing that the factory would be unsustainable, Schindler planned to go back to his hometown, but stine said that he could continue to open the factory, and of course he had to hire new workers. Schindler thanked him from his heart. A line of tears fell from the eyes of stine, an accountant with uncertain future and unpredictable life and death. Schindler's heart suddenly awakened something.
When Schindler came to Gott with several suitcases full of money and said that he would buy his workers, Gott asked doubtfully, "Why on earth? You must have ulterior motives, you have to tell me the truth! " Schindler said that he didn't need to train workers again, and it was good for the army. He wanted to produce arms. Schindler wants Gott to make an offer. How much is a Jewish worker?
In the factory office, Schindler smoked one cigarette after another and dictated the list to stine, who was typing. He finally paid off Gott and Julies with money, leaving all the children behind, and he saved one innocent life after another. His list is getting longer and longer. At this time, Schindler showed a strange "greed". He went to see Julies again and again and tried to give more places.
stine is holding the long list he typed, and his hands are shaking ...
There is a blank place on the last page of the list, which is reserved for Gott's Jewish maid Helen Kathy. Gott refused to hand her over to Schindler, of course. He said that he would never send her to a concentration camp, but would take her back to Vienna and live with her. Schindler reminded him that it was just a wishful dream. But Gott said he would rather take Helen Kathy to the Woods and shoot her in the head. But in the end, Gott retreated and compromised, and handed Helen Kessler over to Schindler to work in a labor camp for fourteen thousand eight hundred marks.
After the Jews on the list register in the square, they will be sent by train to Zveto Brenlitz, Czech Republic, where the munitions factory is located. Schindler told the Jewish man who arrived early that the women's train had left Prasho and would soon arrive at the munitions factory. The women's train is moving, and the carriage is full of joy. However. The train arrived at Auschwitz concentration camp, and the women were ordered to take off their clothes and bathe in anhydride poison. The legendary terrible thing finally came to them, and people were frightened.
Anxious Schindler rushed to Auschwitz and asked the head of the concentration camp for his workers back. Under the carrot and stick, the leader who accepted the bribe had to agree to replace it with another 3 people. So Schindler rescued more than 3 women and children from Auschwitz. He also lectured the German soldiers, forbidding them to shoot and kill Jewish workers in the munitions factory.
One day, Stein came to report to Schindler that all the shells produced by the factory were unqualified, and he was afraid to sue the military. But Schindler calmly said that he would explain to the Germans. He told stine that the shells they produced were of poor quality, and he was very happy. For seven months, he didn't produce qualified products. At the same time, he spent millions of marks to supply his workers and bribe German officials, and at the same time used the money to buy some shells from the arms market as products of military factories to prevaricate the Germans. In doing so, Schindler was bankrupt and on the verge of bankruptcy.
Germany finally surrendered unconditionally. Schindler solemnly announced to the factory workers that they can go to find their relatives separately from tomorrow. Looking back, I dissuaded the German soldiers who were guarding the factory, laid down their weapons and returned to their hometown, and stopped acting as executioners of the Nazis. The soldiers bowed their heads and quietly left. After that, Schindler proposed a three-minute silence in memory of countless innocent people who were killed. Before he left, Schindler told stine to distribute all the things in the factory to the workers. The workers took gold out of their teeth and forged a simple ring with a scripture engraved in Hebrew: whoever saves one life saves the whole world. The elder wrote a letter to Schindler on behalf of all the workers. In case he was arrested, it was signed by everyone.
Schindler was so excited that he burst into tears. Facing the incoherent Schindler, stine truly said: Because of him, 1,1 Jews survived, and their descendants also benefited from him, which will never be forgotten. Schindler said, "If my life is not so extravagant, I can save more people. If I earn more money ... I am so ridiculous ..." Schindler knelt down on his accountant's shoulder in tears, and the workers gathered around and hugged their savior. Schindler left, and people followed him for a long time, watching him until the end.
In p>1958, the Holocaust Memorial Hall in Jerusalem declared him a righteous man and invited him to plant trees on the Avenue of the Righteous.
At the end of the war, there were less than 4, Jews left in Poland, but today more than 6, people are descendants of Jews saved by Schindler.
On October 9th, 1974, Schindler died and was buried in his hometown in the way of Catholicism. Every year, many surviving Jews and their descendants come to pay homage to his dead.
