How did Oskar Schindler protect some of his Jewish workers?

Oskar Schindler protected approximately 1,100 Jews from the Nazis during the Holocaust through several strategic actions:

• Employment: He employed Jewish workers in his enamelware factory, Emalia, in Kraków, ostensibly as cheap labor for the German war effort.12
• Separate Camp: By cultivating a relationship with the SS officer Amon Göth through bribes of luxury goods, Schindler secured permission to establish a separate camp for his workers, shielding them from the brutal conditions of the nearby Płaszów work camp.12
• Relocation and Intervention: When his factory was decommissioned in 1944, Schindler successfully petitioned to move his operations to Brněnec. He compiled a list of essential workers and intervened when those individuals were diverted to other concentration camps, ensuring their safe arrival at his new facility.2

At Brněnec, these workers were tasked with manufacturing munitions that were intentionally rigged to fail, allowing them to survive until the end of the war.2
