<\/a>During the World War II he ended up in Krak\u00f3w. In his factory he desperately tried to protect Jews who were working for him. He used bribes and any other possible methods to save their lives in spite of being arrested twice in the effect. In the effect he saved about 1,200 Polish Jews. At the end of the war when Germans dissolve Plasz\u00f3w, a labor camp where many some Jews who worked for Schindler lived – he was able to persuade Nazi to move the factory to Czech Brunnitz saving his Jewish workers again. On the way there – one train with women was re-routed to Auschwitz. Schindler saved their lives. It was the only shipment with alive people – back from Auschwitz. Schindler was honored with Yad Vashem. This award was established by Israel in 1953 to honor the righteous gentiles who saved lives of Jews.<\/p>\nThis film, although it takes place in Poland does not really talk about Poles or if it talks – only in a very marginal and negative sense. Poland seen through this movie is just a place of Jewish Holocaust. Poles are showed either as guards in the camps or as Nazi prostitutes. This is really a big simplification considering that Auschwitz itself was built and served first as the concentration camp for Polish political prisoners.<\/p>\n
Poland was a country where Jews lived more or less peacefully but definitively in better conditions than somewhere else for hundreds of years. This is one of the reasons why Holocaust was setup by Nazi at Poland, more Jews lived in Poland than anywhere else in Europe.<\/p>\n
During World War II Poles and other Eastern European were treated much more badly than Western Europeans by Nazi. In Poland, six millions people vanished as a consequence of World War II – three millions were Jews and three millions were non-Jews. Poles were punished with death for helping Jews – so if they helped they were real heroes not only “righteous” as Yad Vashem implicates.<\/p>\n
In spite of the danger there were more Poles honored with Yad Vashem award that any other nationality.<\/p>\n
