A business man at the time, Oskar originally wanted to profit off helping Jews by hiring them to work at his ammunition factory. But eventually his conscience took over. He was disgusted by the way that Jews were treated.
He protected Jews at no cost. He also helped smuggle many Jews out of ghettos. He worked hard to get as many Jews as possible to come to his factory, so they could be protected. His efforts resulted in him saving the lives of 1,300 Jews. He is now the only known Nazi to be buried at a cemetary in Jerusalem.
