Geocache Description:








This cache is dedicated to memory of Oskar Schindler

Tato cache je venovana pamatce Oskara Schindlera



Oskar Schindler, (c) Israels Yad VashemSchindler was born in Zwittau, then Austria-Hungary (now Svitavy, Czech Republic), into a wealthy business family. The family suffered in the Great Depression of the 1930s and Schindler joined the Nazi party. He was a dilettante and an opportunistic businessman. Following the German invasion of Poland he was one of many Germans who sought a profit in the new territory. Schindler cheaply acquired a factory in Krakow, which he named Deutsche Emailwaren-Fabrik, producing enamelware and later munitions. He also obtained around 1300 Jewish slave labourers to work the plant. Some say that he was, at least initially, motivated by money—hiding wealthy Jewish investors, for instance—but later he began shielding his workers more actively. He would, for instance, claim that unskilled workers were in fact essential to the working of the factory, and that any harm to them would result in him raising complaints and demanding compensation from the government.


The key horror he witnessed was a 1942 raid on a Jewish ghetto in Krakow. The soldiers were transferring them to the concentration camp at Plaszow, but savagely killed the many Jews who tried to hide in their homes. He was a brilliantly diplomatic individual, and after the raid was increasingly prepared to use all his skills to save his Schindlerjuden (Schindler's Jews). He arranged with Amon Göth, the commander of Plaszow, for 900 Jews to be transferred to an adjacent factory compound where they would be relatively safer from the depredations of the German guards. When the advancing Red Army threatened the camps they were destroyed, with their inmates mostly executed. Schindler managed to move 1200 "workers" to a factory at Brunnlitz (Brnenec) in Czechoslovakia in October 1944. When a shipment of his workforce was misrouted to Auschwitz, he managed to have them returned to him. Brunnlitz was liberated in May 1945.


At the end of the war Schindler emigrated to Argentina. He went bankrupt and returned to Germany in 1958 to a series of unsuccessful business ventures. He died in Hildesheim. He is honored at Israel's Yad Vashem memorial to the Holocaust as one of the "Righteous Among the Nations" and was buried in the Protestant Cemetery, Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.

Oskar Schindler byl nemecky obchodnik, ktery proslul zachranou zidovskych pracovniku v prubehu Holocaustu.

Schindler se narodil ve Svitavach (Zwittau) v bohate rodine obchodnika. V prubehu hospodarske krize rodina Schindleru velmi schudla a Oskar Schindler se pripojilBrana Schindlerovy tovarny v Brnenci nejprve k Henlainove strane SdP a po jejim zakazu k NSDAP. Jeste v predmnichovskem obdobi zacal jako ceskoslovensky obcan pracovat pro nemeckou rozvedku Abwehr, za coz byl zatcen, ale po Mnichovske dohode byl jako politicky vezen opet propusten.

Po nemecke invazi do Polska se - stejne jako mnoho jinych nemcu - rozhodl profitovat v novem uzemi. V Krakowe vyvlastnil tovarnu Buchheister (prejmenovanou na Deutsche Emailwaren Fabrik), produkujici zejmena smaltovane nadobi. V teto tovarne zamestnaval priblizne 1300 zidovskych delniku.


Pravdepodobne klicovou udalosti v zivote Oskara byl den, kdy spolecne se svoji pritelkyni Ingrid vyjeli na projizdku na konich a z povzdali sledovali pogrom v zidovskem ghettu (v Kazimierzi, v ulici Wegierske). Pokud znate film Schindleruv seznam, urcite si vzpomenete na malou holcicku v cervenych satech. Jmenovala se Gena...


18. rijna 1944 Oskar Schindler prestehoval vyrobu (vcetne delniku) do Brnence, kde se v jim vybudovane pobocce koncentracniho tabora Gross-Rosen mely vyrabet protitankove strely a komponenty k raketam. Ke cti Schindlerove je treba dodat, ze za celou dobu "zbrojni" vyroby v Brnenci jeho tovarnu neopustil jediny kus funkci munice. Podle nikde nepublikovanych svedectvi pametniku primo v Brnenci o pritomnosti tolika zidovskych veznu nikdo nevedel. Teprve po osvobozeni mohli opustit tovarnu. Primo na Schindlera vzpominaji presne tak, jak je popsan i v knize Thomase Keneallyho - byl to holkar a rad se napil. Navzdory tomuto oznaceni ho vsak obyvatele meli radi (vsak jim taky nechal vydelat na subdodavkach pro tovarnu - potraviny, latky, osobne jsem hovoril se svadlenou, ktera pro vezne sila obleceni...) a vazili si ho.

Za to, co v prubehu valky Oskar Schindler vykonal, ziskal od pamatniky Yad Vashem titul "Spravedlivy mezi narody".
