Oskar Schindler was a German industrialist who played a significant role in saving the lives of over 1,000 Jewish people during the Holocaust. He employed them in his factories, which were deemed essential for the war effort, thus protecting them from deportation and certain death in concentration camps. Schindler used his influence and connections to ensure the safety and well-being of his Jewish workers, often bribing Nazi officials and risking his own life to protect them. His actions were portrayed in the 1993 film "Schindler's List," which brought international attention to his heroic efforts.
