Oskar Schindler

from his camp to their death at Auschwitz. Schindler showed his courage and determination when he bribed the Nazi soldiers into letting the women go. He interjected with “What are you doing with these people? These are my people.” This was the only shipment of people to leave Auschwitz during the entire war.
