The Schindlerjuden, literally translated from German as "Schindler Jews", were a group of roughly 1,200 Jews saved by German industrialist Oskar Schindler during the Holocaust. They survived the years of the Nazi regime primarily through the intervention of Schindler, who afforded them protected status as industrial workers at his enamelware factory in Kraków, capital of the General Government, and after 1944, in an armaments factory in occupied Czechoslovakia.
