Schindler's List page 1 by ric gustafson
It was autumn 1943. A tall young man comes out of a fashionable apartment building on Straszewskiego Street. The building was on the edge of the ancient center of Cracow Poland. The young man wore a double breasted dinner jacket and an expensive overcoat. His name was Herr Oskar Schindler.
Oskar Schindler was not a man of virtue. He kept house with a German mistress. He had a long affair with his Polish secretary. Schindler's wife Emilie spent most of her time at their home in Moravia. Schindler was a drinker. He drank with associates, bureaucrats and SS men.
In an Adler limousine, Schindler was driven past Hawel Castle. This was Hans Frank's headquarters. The limo took Schindler past the Podgorze Bridge checkpoint. Shortly, the limo reached the destination for the evening. It was Labor Camp Plaszow. The dinner was at the villa of the camp's Commandment. His name was Amon Goeth.
