Members of the Krakow Jewish community and U.S. college students unveiled a plaque Monday honoring German industrialist Oscar Schindler

Members of the Krakow Jewish community and U.S. college students unveiled a plaque Monday honoring German industrialist Oscar Schindler, whose campaign to save 1,200 Jews from the Holocaust was chronicled by the 1993 movie "Schindler's List." The black metal plaque, placed on Schindler's former "Emalia" factory in the southern city of Krakow, bears the Talmud quotation "He who saves one life, saves the whole world," in Polish, English and Hebrew, said Pawel Zielinski of the KCI S.A. company, who attended the ceremony. Schindler's World War II bravery in Nazi-occupied Poland was told in Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning movie, which starred Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley and Ralph Fiennes. The plaque was funded by the Jewish community of Krakow and students from Albion College in Michigan. Schindler used influential friends and bribes to convince the SS commander of the death camp in Plaszow, near Krakow, about 180 miles south of Warsaw, that he needed the inmates to work in his factory.
