Being as I converted to Judaism around 1995, I have to honor him as some Jews do. Whatever he may have done, when he figured out what was going on, he did the right thing in the end. It didn't always work out the way it should have, at least he tried! TYVM fur Sharon!

It's one of the great paradoxes of history that if Schindler had not developed a drinking problem, engaged in foreign espionage and become a high status member of the Nazi party, he would never have been put in a position to save anyone. It is because he was so flawed that he was able to do so much good in the end. Truly inspiring

He wasn't though. The Abwehr were the counterintelligence branch of the Wehrmacht (the sociopathic freaks all gravitated to the SS so these are generally very normal men). Look up "Soft Circle" and how many were executed for despising and conspiring against the Nazi's. I hate how many people don't realize why Hitler got his SS to infiltrate and replace the leadership of all branches of the military.. and that an astounding amount of people were sickened by this blatant evil.

Emillie Schindler his wife wrote her autobiography. The book is called Where Light And Shadow Meet. She wrote it largely because Steven Spielberg who created and directed the iconic movie Schindler’s List completely photoshopped her out of the whole story. Which she was really sad about. And after reading her book myself, about how big of an equal role she played in what Oskar Schindler did in WW2, it’s astonishing that Spielberg erased her. She underwent so much life and death risk to save their Jewish workers. And feed them. Her story should be its own movie. AND fact is, Oskar was a terrible husband. But there was so many lives who depended on them as a couple. So Emillie remained. And barely survived herself. Amazing lady.

Poor Emilie Schindler. She actually was not as relieved as this documentary claimed. Although, they also never saw each other again, they never divorced from each other and she chose to never be with anyone and chose never to marry again. In 1993, during the production of the film Schindler's List, Emilie Schindler and a number of surviving Schindler Jews visited her husband's grave in Jerusalem; she was accompanied by Caroline Goodall, the actress who portrayed her in the film. She was documented saying - “At last we meet again ... I have received no answer, my dear, I do not know why you abandoned me ... But what not even your death or my old age can change is that we are still married, this is how we are before God. I have forgiven you everything, everything ...” Schindler lived with her 50 pets for many years in her small house in San Vicente, 40 kilometres south-west of Buenos Aires. She received a small pension from Israel and Germany. Uniformed Argentinian police were posted 24 hours a day to protect her from modern Nazis and other anti-Semitic extremist groups. In July 2001, during a visit to Berlin, Schindler told reporters that it was her "greatest and last wish" to spend her final years in Germany, adding that she had become increasingly homesick. She died at the age of 93 from the effects of a stroke in Märkisch-Oderland Hospital, Strausberg, on the night of 5 October 2001, 2½ weeks before her 94th birthday. Her only relative was a niece in Bavaria. She is buried at the cemetery in Waldkraiburg, Germany, about an hour away from Munich. Her tombstone includes the words from the Mishnah, Sanhedrin 4:5, Wer einen Menschen rettet, rettet die Ganze Welt ("Whoever saves one life, saves the entire world.").

[@nadinebarnett304]

Thanks for this info

[@WJAMSoares]

Thank you very much for adding such important part of the whole history.

[@DonnaBrooks]

It's tragic that her religious beliefs kept her from moving on with her life. The vows are, "Till DEATH do us part," but she somehow thought they were still married after his death! That's extreme. Even the Catholic Church allows remarriage after the death of one's spouse. This sounds like some sort of syndrome, like Stockholm Syndrome. It's too bad she didn't have pastoral counseling to free her of her religious misconceptions (In the Hebrew Bible, childless wives were OBLIGATED to marry the brother of their deceased husband in order to bear children and in the New Testament, when asked who will be a woman's husband after the resurrection, Jesus said that in the afterlife, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage, so marriage is not something that continues after death.) It's also too bad she didn't have access to the kind of mental health professionals we have today. They might have helped her to see that a lifetime of suffering and loneliness might not be God's choice for her and might not be the best use of the rest of her life. Most women WOULD be relieved to be free of his drinking and philandering. Did Oskar even attempt to divorce her?

[@DonnaBrooks]

From what sources did you get this information? 50 pets? Please don't tell me they were all cats!! I hope there were dogs, pigs, birds, lizards, frogs, fish, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, rats, goats, guinea pigs, and gerbils, too! It sounds like she didn't have enough land to have horses. I hope she was able to CARE for these animals and wasn't just HOARDING them! It sounds like she was not just eccentric, but mentally ill.

[@DonnaBrooks]

She lived a long life! I'm glad she had Argentinian police guarding her! That's remarkable that the town or state or country would pay for guards 24/7 for so many years!

[@rekunta]

This man is my personal hero, and I don’t care what faults he had. His character was put to the test in the hardest way, he had full opportunity to be selfish and further himself at the expense of others, and instead he gave all he had, making himself destitute to be able to save 1,200 people. This in light of severe consequences to his own life were he not careful. A remarkable person. There’s not many people who can claim to be solely responsible for saving so many, much less at their own expense. Bless Schindler, he not only saved those people from certain death, he forever stands as a bulwark against me losing faith in the better nature of humanity. For that I am eternally thankful. I wish I could have had the honor to shake his hand.

England has their own Schindler by the name of Sir Nicholas Wiinton who saved and found homes for nearly 500 children. After the war he never told anyone about what he had done but his wife found his scrapbook of photos ,names of both children,families, addresses and letters from parents to their children. There was a show who were informed of him and did all the research on him and the children he saved. The host of the show asked if anyone was saved by him to stand up and get in touch at which moment the whole audience stood up as they were all the children he saved. A movie has been made about him which was released in December 2023. I can't wait to see it.

The problem with condemning him for his early dealings with the Nazis is he most likely wouldn't have been in the position to save the people he saved if he hadn't had those prior dealings with the Nazis.

Schindler‘s life is further proof that the human story is not black-and-white.. it is filled with murky periods of grey. We are all working with the toolbox that we were handed, from the blank slate handed to us at birth and subsequently written on and imprinted upon throughout our upbringing and surroundings.

I will watch it again and again ever more intensely, willing myself to try to feel the pain that millions of people went through during the war years. It seems unlikely, but I wish that behaviours of certain world leaders will never put the world through this again.

He had a calling listened to his inner voice used everything he'd amassed to save as many jews as possible.. nobody is perfect, but his awakening was incredible and used all his skill to save as many as he could. Bless him forever

[@philipjones7372]

Very moving documentary. There is a lesson we can all learn here about using our talents to help our fellow man, during adversity. RIP Oskar and Emily...👍🏼🙏🏽💌

[@mellyboo513]

Oskar is an example of the complexities of human nature. Full of faults and negative actions yet able to result in being a savior of human life of epic proportions using some of those faults in order to do so. His story proves that no matter the type of life you have lived or actions you have done - you still have the option to use your life for good. To stand up for what is right. Even if only for a short time. Everyone can make a difference when evil and anti humanity actions abound.

Once in a while, even a deeply flawed person with a long history of questionable behavior may eventually do great things.

I thank God for good people . I wish there was more people like Oskar Schindler in the world. No one is perfect in this world.

[@GodessSiri]

Oskar Schindler has always struck me as proof that everyone, no matter what their shortcomings, is capable of great good. His early and later life story paints him as a not a great person, selfish and a failure. But for a short time, when it was more important than anything else, he rose up to become a hero. And if a drunken. womanizing, douche can do that then there's no excuse for anyone else.

Sorry, God was clearly on vacation in Europe from 1939 to 1935. It’s a bit of a smack in the face to claim otherwise. If he’s up there, he looked down at those camps and did nothing. We are the ones who put an end to Hitler, not God. us and our ancestors.

Most people are too self centered and arrogant to care about anyone else but themselves as has been shown historically right up to present day.

[@nihilistichris8609]

In some ways it’s because his recklessness (for lack of a better word) that he performed so well in saving Jewish lives, a distinct lack of self preservation that although was obviously crushing to his personal life it produced benefits for vulnerable people on a inspirational level, a great but troubled man, the story of many real life hero’s.

You are exactly right. A man with few faults or minor ones could not have done what he did. He understoid how to deal with the chaos all around him because his own life was a mess.

He was a product of his time. And he chosed to keep his humanity in spite of his position. Not a hero, per se, but a good, flawed and generous human.

If he was an alcoholic and a womanizer that was for himself, he chose to live his life that way, only to himself but when he came to helping humans and he saw what was going on what was being done to humanity.

Several arrests, heavy drinking and plenty of affairs...YET...this flawed human being underwent some type of spiritual awakening where he chose to respect the lives of others.

Every time I read or watch something that has to do with with this extraordinary person and what he did and risked for those people I always shed a tear or 50. Though not my place to do so, I've been referring to the Man named Osker Schindler as "Saint"Schindler for quite some time now. Although as is known his habits were far from being a Saint, I blame him for none of the other habits except his infidelity's, but for being a man who had nothing to gain (and EVERY thing, to lose...) if I were allowed to let people in to heaven? I would allow him in at least 1200 times. May you 🙏4EVER R.I.P. As "He/She who saves one Life saves 🙌 one life saves the World 🌎 entire". So Rest, St Schindler...

Every person has a purpose. Oskar Schindler served his purpose. An honourable and memorable one at that. Paradoxically, his troubled life made him a deliverer in troubled times.

[@hb4072]

I know the daughters of a husband and wife who Schindler saved. Joseph and Rebekka Bau, they were featured in the film getting married in Plaszow. Joseph became a famous graphic artist in Israel after the war and his beautiful, remarkable daughters Clila and Hadasa Bau have run a museum of his art and work since his death. They teach people from around the world about the holocaust and the role of their parents and of Schindler. The world would be a poorer place without them. I recommend’Dear God Have you ever gone hungry?’ A book By Joseph Bau and urge anyone travelling to Israel to visit the Joseph bau museum and meet Clila and Hadasa. Truly remarkable humans.

I have never had a documentary give me goosebumps over and over like this one. He may have had a pretty failure regular life, but he stepped up in a mind blowing way and when provision came he used it to save people who by normal standards shouldn’t have mattered to him.

[@anamaria2053]

Schindler was a traumatized and, thus, complicated individual. I think he was vexed by his difficult upbringing and his close relationship with his mother likely was his saving grace. His remarkable acts during WWII saving as many Jews as possible and risking his life and Emily’s was his great good deed and surpasses all of his other acts. Although it doesn’t remove his failures nor the pain he caused others. He was a man, after all, not a god or saint.

[@kimberleyspeight4621]

Thank you for your time and research. My great grandparents had numbers tattooed on their arms. I remember asking once, and only once, what the number was for, and i was told it was a part of their lives they wished to not talk about. It was said in a tone that clearly implied that that answer was the only one answer i was going to get. When Shindlers List was aired on ABC on Christmas, commercial free, it was a big deal. My grandpa had to take my great grandparents home before the movie started because my great grandpa refused to watch. I wish i could of got the answers to some of the questions i had; being told theae stories by someone who lived thru it all would of been fascinating

[@mervindesilva7507]

oskar schindler was a human being with the usual qualities or what you may call urges and yearnings of a "troubled" human being. But the main feature associated with this man was his feeling for the human beings within his periphery. He did that he could against immense odds. I like Oskar, the philanderer, the drunkard, the cheat and above all the "great humanist" who saved lives

Hi there, could you try to do the same thing with Traian Popovici, mayor of Cernivtsi, back then part of the Romanian Kingdom? He managed to save almost 20.000 jews from deportation in the WWII defying gen. Antonescu and Hitler risking his own family life to save them? Bucovina back then had a population of roughly 50.000 jews, being a multicultural comunity, if the world had more men like this maybe more could've been saved...

And add the wonderful Count Folk Bernadot to that list. He single handedly saved the lives of more than ten thousand Jews who were destined for the death camps.

Reducing complex human beings into 2d caricatures may suit the purpose of those unwilling or unable to look beyond those flaws. For the rest of us, that can see the flaws, recognize them as important, and look beyond, at a good man, those flaws are not as important as the intent.
