Oskar Schindler (28 April 1908 – 9 October 1974) was a German industrialist and Nazi Party member who employed 1,200 Jews in his enamelware and ammunition factories in occupied Poland.
He is the subject of the 1982 novel Schindler’s Ark and its 1993 film adaptation, Schindler’s List, both of which are depicted.
His life as an opportunist was initially motivated by profit but came to demonstrate extraordinary initiative, tenacity, courage, and dedication in saving the lives of his Jewish employees.
Schindler was born on April 28, 1908, in Zwittau, Moravia, Austria-Hungary, into a Sudeten German family.
Elfriede, his sister, was born in 1915.
Schindler enrolled in a technical school after finishing primary and secondary school but was expelled in 1924 for falsifying his report card.
He graduated later.
But did not take the Abitur exams that would have allowed him to attend college or university.
Instead, he studied several trades in Brno, including chauffeuring and machinery, and worked for his father for three years.
