Talk:Oskar Schindler

Jewish Agency for Israel

During WW2, wouldnt the funding be from the Jewish Agency for Palestine? The name was changed after Oskar Schindler's collaboration with them, and therefore the entry's text should state "Jewish Agency for Palestine." The linked to location is correct, but this article's text should use the name that was contemporary to Schindler for the sake of historical accuracy 2601:5CF:8000:6B60:4010:2BF9:AAE6:C475 (talk) 19:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done. Thanks for the suggestion.

Change one word?

I'm wondering about the word "mistreatment" here because it doesn't seem like the right word: "In 1943, Schindler was contacted by Zionist leaders in Budapest via members of the Jewish resistance movement. He travelled to Budapest several times to report in person on Nazi mistreatment of the Jews." Elsnyc (talk) 05:19, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

What would you suggest as an alternative? Or, since we're talking about one word, you could probably just be bold and change it. DonIago (talk) 07:18, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Some accounts say concrete factory

The article mentions Oskar Schindler's post war ownership of a factory that produced cement. However instead some of the historian's accounts refer to it as a concrete factory. The difference is that a cement factory is capital extensive. A concrete factory uses cement sand and aggregate to make value added formed products and typically are not as capital intensive. I think it more likely that it was a concrete products factory. RichardBond (talk) 10:59, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Thompson says "Schindler left his wife in Argentina and returned to Germany, where he tried running a cement factory. This venture never actually began production, however." Diannaa (talk) 14:45, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Further Reading?

I noticed that other Wikipedia Articles on rescuers have a list of further readings, should we consider adding that? Benji1207 (talk) 20:19, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

There's already a lot of books listed in the "Sources" section. Have you got any suggestions that you would like to see added in a "Further readong" section? Diannaa (talk) 22:47, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
