	NAPF Programs: Youth Outreach: Peace Heroes: Oskar Schindler, by Charles C. Steffler
		Oskar Schindler is an excellent example of a person, flawed as he may have been, that acted out against injustice during the Second World War, and helped to preserve the lives of many Jews that perhaps would have perished at the hands of Nazi tyranny.
		Schindler made a quick start for himself as both profiteer and influential Nazi Party member early on in the war, but when faced with the gruesome atrocities advocated by the Nazi regime, his attitude changed and, unlike countless many, he did not sit quietly by and watch as millions were murdered.
		Schindler was able to, in effect, buy Jewish holocaust prisoners from Amon Coeth, the commandant who oversaw the Krakow ghetto and the sundry labor projects forced upon the Jewish inhabitants.
