Oskar Schindler dies in Sweden
09 October 1974,
Oskar Schindler dies in Sweden. The German businessman who dedicated the Spielberg film is known above all for saving about 1,200 Jews. However, he is a person who disputes between historians. They have recently published evidence of their participation in the planning of the Polish invasion. He was a member of the Nazi party, who had spied on them. He took advantage of his position to save the Jews who worked in his workshop. When the Jews in the Płaszów concentration camp travelled to Auschwitz, their secretary, Itzhak Stern, and the prisoner Mietek, they drew up the famous list of Jews. They were taken to the Schindler factory and saved from death.
