Oskar Schindler (1908–1974) was a German industrialist who saved over 1,200 Jews. Initially profiting from the war by employing Jewish workers in his enamelware factory in Kraków, Poland, he later became horrified by atrocities committed on them.

Using his wealth and influence, Schindler bribed officials and created a list of Jewish workers he claimed were essential to his factory's operations. This list became their lifeline, protecting them from deportation. He relocated his factory to Brněnec (Czech Republic) in 1944 to safeguard his workers, even sabotaging production to avoid aiding the war effort.

After the war, Schindler faced financial struggles and lived modestly, supported by the Jewish community he had saved. He was honored as *Righteous Among the Nations* in 1963 and is buried in Jerusalem, remembered as a hero of humanity.
He lived in Regensburg Germany from 1945 to 1946.
