Schindlerjuden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schindlerjuden, literally translated as "Schindler's Jews" were about 1,200 Jews who were saved by Oskar Schindler during the Holocaust, by having them work for him. Their story has been depicted in the book Schindler's Ark, and Steven Spielberg's film based on it, Schindler's List.
The prominent ones depicted in the film each put a pebble on Schindler's real grave at the end. They are each standing by the actor who portrayed them in it as they do so. Other mourners in the scene include his wife, Emilie Schindler, and the one who portrays him in it, Liam Neeson. He is the last one to do so, and instead puts a red rose in the center. He is appropriately accompanied by no one.
By 2006, there were estimated to be over 7,000 descendants of Schindler's Jews living in the US, Europe, and Israel.[1]
