What did Oskar Schindler do?
Schindler had treated the Jews with respect and that's something that made him different from the rest. Some of Schindler’s Jew employees happened to be from the Krakow ghetto. When the Nazis started to move Jews to Plaszów Schindler protected his employees by hiding them in his factory and making them work for him. He was arrested many times during this process. They could never prove that he was breaking any of the laws, so they let him go. He had bribed or asked favors of guards ,so that they wouldn't take the Jews to concentration camps.
