Discover the complex, surprising life of Oskar Schindler - Nazi party member, spy, and unlikely hero who saved over a thousand Jews during the Holocaust. In this gripping deep dive, we explore the true story of Oskar Schindler: from his troubled upbringing in the Sudetenland and early involvement with Nazi intelligence, to his transformation into a courageous rescuer during the darkest days of World War II. You'll learn about Schindler's checkered past, including struggles with alcoholism, business failures, and political opportunism, as well as his rise through Nazi circles as an Abwehr agent.

We unpack the background of Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland, the development of the Holocaust and the Final Solution, and the daily dangers Schindler and his wife, Emilie, faced as they forged documents, paid bribes, and outwitted the Gestapo.
