Oscar Schindler
In his book Witness
The Making Of Schindler's List Franciszek Palowski
tells about Janina Olszewska, who had worked for Oscar
Schindler at his office and had known him well during
World War 2. She later told that Schindler not only saved
Jews but also helped many Polish people.
When her husband was arrested and sentenced to death for
his work with the Polish underground, Schindler
miraculously got him out of the prison and thus saved his
life.
Janina recalled once when a friend came to her in tears -
the Nazis were taking her son to slave labor in Germany.
She asked Schindler for help and he arranged the boy's
release, employing him in his factory till the end of the
war.
On another occasion an escaped Polish prisoner from
Auschwitz showed up at Janina's. When Schindler was asked
for help, he hired the man as his chauffeur.
Guestbook
Adolf Hitler
Adolf Hitler, murderer of millions, master
of destruction and organized insanity,
was seized by an obsession with the Jews all
his life. The Nazi Führer had always been
straightforward about his plans - his dream
of a racially "pure" empire would tolerate
no Jews. He announced at many occasions the
"annihilation of the Jews" living in the
territory under his control.
In Hitler's mind, murdering millions of Jews
could only be accomplished under the
confusion of war - from the beginning he was
planning a war that would engulf Europe .. |
