- By May 1945, World War II was coming to an end. Oskar Schindler spent his entire fortune on bribes and black market supplies to take care of his Jewish workers. However, as a war profiteer, someone who profited from war, Schindler was now a criminal. His plan was to remain at the factory until Germany's official surrender to protect his workers.
- Knowing all Schindler had done for them, his workers came together to show their appreciation. 1,200 people who were left with nothing but their lives presented Schindler with a single gold ring with the inscription, "Whoever saves one life saves the world entire." Shortly after midnight, Schindler and his wife fled to avoid being captured and tried for war crimes.
- Shortly after the surrender, Jewish workers were liberated. However, although free, anti-Jewish sentiment still ran rampant throughout Europe. It would not be easy for the 1,200 Schindler Jews to begin to rebuild their lives. Due to their perseverance, today, there are an estimated 8,500 descendants of the Schindler Jews living around the world.
