The impact of Schindler's actions reverberates through history from "summary" of Schindler's List by Thomas Keneally
One man's decisions, no matter how small they may seem in the grand scheme of things, can have a profound impact on the course of history. Such is the case with Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who defied the Nazis during World War II by saving the lives of over a thousand Jews. Schindler's actions, driven by a combination of self-interest and moral awakening, not only spared the lives of those he directly saved but also sent ripples through time that continue to be felt to this day. The lives he saved went on to raise families, build communities, and contribute to society in ways that would not have been possible if not for his intervention. Moreover, Schindler's story serves as a reminder of the power of individual agency in the face of overwhelming evil. In a time when the world seemed dark and hopeless, he stood as a beacon of light, showing that even in the darkest of times, one person can make a difference. The legacy of Schindler's actions is evident in the countless stories of survival and resilience that have been passed down through generations. His name has become synonymous with compassion, courage, and the unwavering belief in the inherent worth of every human life. In a world that often seems divided and fractured, Schindler's story serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of great danger. As we look back on his actions, we are reminded that the choices we make today have the power to shape the course of history tomorrow.
