Oskar Schindler

In the 1940s, while Jewish people in Nazi Germany were being executed by the thousands, one man did his part in helping these people in need. What started off as a business move to acquire cheaper labor, later became a way that Mr. Schindler shielded roughly Jews who were facing death in these tense times of racial discrimination. While many have debated whether Oskar Schindler is truly a hero or one who is of "moral courage", I believe there is no question that his tactics were only for business purposes. I acknowledge that he may have started his factory as a way for financial gain, but his decision to keep people who could do no work, and the deep admiration that actual Jews who were on his list have shown since then shows he was not purely motivated by money.
