In 1939 the new factory owner Oskar Schindler – an industrialist and a member of the Nazi Party – shocked by the mass extermination of the Jewish people, created the famous Schindler’s List, which allowed to transport to a new factory in the Sudetenland more than 1,100 people saving their lives.

The story of Oskar Schindler was described in the book called “Schindler’s Ark” by the Australian novelist Thomas Keneally, which inspired Steven Spilberg to create his famous film “Schindler’s List”. The film was shot, among other places, in the factory at Lipowa 4.
