Colin Ian Jeffery - SCHINDLER'S LIST

Oskar Schindler was a member of the Nazi party and a war profiteer. He saved 1,100 Jews during the holocaust. He was enigmatic - - one man who against overwhelming odds made a difference. br 'Save one life and you save the world.' br br Dark tide of evil swept across Europe br Eclipsing light and truth br With Nazi jack-boots stamping down br On necks of innocence to oppress br With SS and Gestapo spreading terror br And for Jews... Hitler's Final Solution. br br Schindler was a German businessman br Successful, enjoying a good life br Wining and dining in best restaurants, br Making love to beautiful women br Driving fast cars, friend of high ranking SS br Using the black market to make huge profits. br br When he saw the treatment of the Jews br Forced to wear the Star of David br Humiliated and beaten in the streets br Living in ghettos like animals in a zoo br Transported in cattle trucks to death camps br Then a divine light flickered-on in his heart. br br Seeing the evil he tried to rescue Jews br Purchasing a factory to employ Jewish labour br Saving them from the gas chamber br Creating his list of names and bribing the SS br Risking torture and execution br Saving as many Jews as he could. br br Jews he saved called themselves 'Schindler's Juden' br And when the war was over Israel honoured him br Giving him the title of ‘Righteous Person'. br He planted a tree in the Avenue of the Righteous br Where it flourishes as a sign of one man's morality. br Oskar Schindler is buried in Israel.
