All the jewish used to live in a city of Poland , they had a normal life, like the other poles, but when the Nazi's arrived they started to treat the jewish very bad, considering them a lower kind fo humanbean, and they have to acept it, because the goverment treat them at the same
way. Than the goverment ordered all the jewes to live in separeted hoods, called 'ghettos', hoods only for jewish. After that they walled all the ghetto, andthe jewishs needed a kind of 'pass' to go out, they only recivied this 'pass' to work. When the labour camp bulding was complety, they moved all the jewish to the camps, at this time the massacre had already started, the Nazi killed jewish because of silly reasons, they were killing for fun. In the camps, the jewes
had a slave life, they were living and working at the labour camps, going out just to work at factorys wich were out of the camp.This was the aspect of the jewish
life, when Oskar Schindler started to plan how to save more than a thousand of lifes, jewish lifes.
Oskar Schindler was a german, a factory owner who went to Poland to make money, he wasn't planning to save jewish lifes when starterd his factory. He made a lot of
important friends, people in the army, in the SS police( the Nazi police), in the goverment, this kind of friendship guarantee his a lot of favours from the
important people. He used to give gifts to his 'friends', and they used to do favours for him, at this time Schindler was a big factory owner, with jewish employes. And while he was
