Oskar Schindler earned the everlasting gratitude of the "Schindler-Jews" - the 1,200 that he saved during the war. He is known for his courage in a world of brutality. Oskar Schindler took control of two factories in Poland and adapted their production to manufacture Nazi war goods. The fortune he was making did not blind him from the atrocities committed by the Nazis against the Jews. Consequently, he and his wife, Emilie, ran a personal rescue mission to save his Jewish employees. He died in 1974 and was buried in the Catholic Cemetery in Jerusalem.
