Podcasts about Oskar Schindler

The story of Oskar Schindler, a man who risked everything to save Jewish lives during World War II, serves as a powerful illustration of transformation and sacrificial love. Initially motivated by self-interest, Schindler's heart changed as he witnessed the suffering around him, leading him to spend all he had to protect those in danger. This story echoes the greater reality of what Christ has done for us. While Schindler's actions were remarkable, Jesus' sacrifice is even more profound—He gave Himself for us not out of obligation or after a change of heart, but from the very beginning, knowing fully who we are and what we would do.Ephesians reminds us that we were dead in our sins, following the ways of a broken world. The evidence of this brokenness is all around us: division, hatred, and judgment, even within our own communities. Scripture is clear that all have sinned and fall short of God's glory. Yet, God's response is not wrath, but mercy. Because of His great love, He made us alive with Christ, offering us grace as a free gift. This grace is not something we can earn or repay; it is given freely, even though we are undeserving.The temptation is to believe that we must do something to earn God's favor, or that our past disqualifies us from His love. But the truth is that salvation is by grace through faith, not by works. Whether we have a dramatic story of transformation or have known Christ from a young age, the gift is the same. God's love is not measured by our past, but by His purpose and design for us. He calls each of us His masterpiece, created to do good works that He has prepared in advance.The invitation is simple: accept the gift. God is not waiting for us to become perfect or to reach a certain level of brokenness before we come to Him. He has been waiting for us from the very beginning, longing to guide us and fulfill His mission through our lives. The only thing left is to receive what He so freely offers.Key Takeaways- Transformation Begins with Awareness of Brokenness Recognizing our own spiritual deadness and the brokenness of the world is the first step toward transformation. Just as Schindler's eyes were opened to the suffering around him, we must allow God to reveal the reality of our need for mercy and grace. This awareness humbles us and prepares our hearts to receive what only God can give.- God's Mercy Is Greater Than Our Sin No matter how far we have fallen or how undeserving we feel, God's mercy reaches further still. His love is not conditional on our performance or our past; it is rooted in His character. Even while we were still sinners, Christ died for us, demonstrating a love that is both sacrificial and unconditional.- Grace Is a Gift, Not a Transaction In a world where nothing seems free and every favor comes with strings attached, God's grace stands apart. He offers salvation without expectation of repayment, knowing we could never earn or deserve it. This challenges our natural suspicion and invites us to trust in the generosity of God's heart.- Our Testimonies Are Unique, but the Gift Is the Same Whether we come to faith after a dramatic conversion or have known Christ since childhood, the value of God's gift does not change. Each story is precious to Him, and He is not waiting for us to reach a certain level of brokenness before offering His love. Embracing our own journey allows us to celebrate the diversity of God's work in every life.- God's Invitation Is for Now, Not When We're “Ready” God is not waiting for us to clean ourselves up or conquer every struggle before we come to Him. He calls us as we are, inviting us to accept His gift today. The only requirement is a willing heart—He will lead, transform, and fulfill His purpose in us as we trust Him.

Send us a textEfesiërs 2:6-7 Ja, in Christus Jesus het Hy ons saam met Hom opgewek uit die dood en ons saam met Hom 'n plek in die hemel gegee, sodat God ook in die tye wat kom, sou laat sien hoe geweldig groot sy genade is deur die goedheid wat Hy in Christus Jesus aan ons bewys het. Ons dink nie so daaraan nie, maar 'n eenvoudige daad van vriendelikheid van ons kant, wat ons niks kos nie, kan iemand se dag opvrolik ... selfs hulle lewe red. Maar dan is daar ander tye wanneer ‘n onselfsugtige daad jou bestaan in gevaar kan stel.Oskar Schindler was 'n Duitse nyweraar en lid van die Nazi-party. Hy het sekere mense omgekoop om 'n geleentheid in Kraków, Pole te kry om geld te maak. Dit was minder as 80 kilometer weg van die konsentrasiekamp Auschwitz-Birkenau, waar oor ‘n miljoen Jode vermoor is. Maar toe die afgryse van die "Finale Oplossing van die Jode " vir Schindler ‘n werklikheid geword het, het sy fokus van geldmaak verskuif na ‘n poging om soveel Jode se lewens as moontlik te red. Hy het alles – selfs sy eie lewe – gewaag om meer as 1 200 Jode van Volksmoord te red deur hulle vry te koop.Ja, my vriend, soms is genade nie so eenvoudig nie. Soms kan dit jou alles kos. Kyk wat die apostel Paulus 'n paar duisend jaar gelede geskryf het:Efesiërs 2:6-7 Ja, in Christus Jesus het Hy ons saam met Hom opgewek uit die dood en ons saam met Hom 'n plek in die hemel gegee, sodat God ook in die tye wat kom, sou laat sien hoe geweldig groot sy genade is deur die goedheid wat Hy in Christus Jesus aan ons bewys het.God se genade teenoor jou (en my) het Hom alles gekos – die dood van Jesus, sy enigste Seun aan die Kruis. Jesus het die straf wat ons toegekom het, betaal, sodat ons lewens gered kan word. Dit laat ons dink aan hoe die Jode, wat Oskar Schindler vrygekoop het, moes gevoel het.Ek weet nie van jou nie, maar ek verdien dit nie ... Dit is natuurlik die hele punt! Want as ons dit verdien het, sou ons nooit die ewige, wonderlike rykdom van God se genade ontdek het nie!Dis Sy Woord.

Our look at 90s Spielberg continues as we stay parked in the year 1993. Last week, we talked about his box office behemoth, Jurassic Park. This week, we're talking about his Best Picture winner: Schindler's List.   The Holocaust drama tells the story of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who saved over 1,000 Jewish people by employing them in his factories. While there has been considerable debate over the past 30+ years about the narrative's use of melodrama, Schindler's List has generally been acclaimed as not only one of Spielberg's best films, but one of the best films to ever win the Academy Award for Best Picture.   Christian is crossing the film off of his watchlist and Scott revisits it for their conversation. Join us as we break down the performances of Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes, consider the film's use (or avoidance) of melodrama, and discuss the film's historical value.   What's your favorite Spielberg decade? Let us know at cinemaontappodcast@gmail.com

Hunched over a manual typewriter, Itzhak Stern worked through the night, tapping out names—1,098 in all. The names comprised a list of Jewish workers protected from the Nazis by factory owner Oskar Schindler. Clutching the document, Stern declared, “The list is an absolute good. The list is life.” Those named on its pages would survive the Holocaust. In 2012, it was estimated that the descendants of the survivors numbered 8,500. The Bible contains its share of lists. We tend to skip them. Too many names; too much repetition. We might even say today’s reading is . . . boring. “The descendants of Judah by their clans were: through Shelah, the Shelanite clan; through Perez, the Perezite clan . . .” (Numbers 26:20). Who cares? God cares! “These were the Israelites who came out of Egypt,” says the historical record (v. 4). Soon the people would inhabit the land promised to them. And one day, Messiah would come from this very clan of Judah. The list is life, not only for the Jewish people but for all who trust in Jesus. We know of Oskar Schindler’s list from the powerful film Schindler’s List and historical records. We know of God’s great salvation from the story recorded for us in the Bible. As we read, may His Spirit show us the worth of even the lists. They have something to say to us too.

TRIBUTO: HISTORIAS QUE CONSTRUYEN MEMORIA DE LA SHOÁ, CON CECILIA LEVIT –Francisco (Faivel) Wichter nació en Maski,  Polonia en 1926. Su padre era  zapatero y su madre ama de casa. Tiene cinco hermanos y constituyen una familia numerosa y rica en tradiciones. Cuando estalla la guerra, la familia huye para encontrar diferentes escondites pero nada de esto podrá salvar sus vidas. Solo Feivel sobrevive a la Shoá gracias al empresario Oskar Schindler que le dio trabajo en la fábrica de cacerolas en Cracovia. Cuando acaba la guerra, llega a la Argentina con su esposa y allí comienza su segunda vida. Escribió su historia en un libro titulado “El Undécimo Mandamiento”. Falleció a los 99 años en febrero de 2025.

Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel. — Ephesians 6:19 In today's passage we see that Paul—one of the great missionaries of the early church—needed prayer partners, and he probably had many. Today's text gives us a helpful start on how to pray for missionaries and other gospel workers. We can pray that God will give them the right words (relevant and effective messages); that they will make known the true gospel (free of false teachings); and that they will proclaim it courageously (knowing when to challenge false ideas and practices, and when to leave it to the Holy Spirit to convict people of the truth). In the film Schindler's List, Oskar Schindler was able to prevent many Jews from going to the gas chambers in World War II. But toward the end of the film, he sobs, saying, “I didn't do enough. . . . I could have saved more.” Missionaries can have similar guilt feelings about people they haven't reached or work left undone. Ask God to give them peace and to leave the unfinished work in his hands, guiding them to see the right priorities. May God show them bridges that will overcome barriers; provide healthy family relationships, friendships, and connections with fellow workers; and supply guidance for training local leaders to continue the ministries. Let's stay connected with our missionaries, receive their prayer concerns, and pray faithfully for them. Lord, strengthen and encourage all your gospel workers. Bless them with joy in serving you. In Christ's name, Amen.

Programa 5x94, amb Els Amics de les Arts. Us penseu que "La llista de Schindler"

Als Mädchen kam Gertrud Ferrari zu ihrem Onkel, wo sie miterleben musste, wie Züge mit halberfrorenen Juden ankamen. Erst viel später erfuhr sie, dass ihr Onkel Oskar jener Oskar Schindler war, der 1200 Juden das Leben rettete.

It's a heavy topic, but we somehow found the perfect guest to balance a serious topic with a little humor in noted critic, pop culture journalist, and author Jordan Hoffman (Vanity Fair, New York Daily News, The Times of Israel). Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List tells the story of Oskar Schindler, a German Industrialist who worked from within the Nazi party to save over 1100 Jews from the concentration camps under the guise of needing their labor. Spielberg's movie was a massive hit, won tons of Oscars, and remains a crucial piece in the preservation of documentation of the Holocaust. It also led to the Shoah Foundation, which works as a living testament to the atrocities that happened during WW2 and beyond. This episode covers the movie itself, the impact it has had on the world, and how it is potentially received by today's kids. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Carpe diem neboli Užívej dne. Latinské rčení bylo životním mottem Oskara Schindlera. Osobnosti mnohem rozporuplnější, než jak ji líčí románový bestseller nebo hollywoodský film Schindlerův seznam. Obchodník německé národnosti a nenapravitelný požitkář měl v rodných Svitavách pověst gaunera, švindlíře a sukničkáře. Za první republiky se dal k nacistům a pracoval pro německou vojenskou rozvědku. Tehdy jen o vlásek unikl trestu za vlastizradu.

Steven Spielbergs Film "Schindlers Liste" hat Oskar Schindler über Nacht weltberühmt gemacht. Vor 50 Jahren starb er in Hildesheim. Aus diesem Anlass gibt es im Sudetendeutschen Museum in München die Sonderausstellung "Oskar Schindler - Lebemann und Lebensretter". Simon Berninger hat sie für uns angesehen.

In the dark days of mid-20th century Europe, a lone German decided to make political waves. His choices put his own life in grave danger. Oskar Schindler was a businessman with factories in countries occupied by the Nazis. Jews everywhere were being shipped like cattle to extermination camps. Some of Schindler's employees were in danger.What did he do? He saved over a thousand of them by keeping their names on a list of employees necessary to conduct business. By war's end, he had spent his entire fortune bribing officials to look the other way while his workers remained in their jobs. Oskar Schindler took that road less traveled that we've heard about. Mark 16:15 says, “He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.'”In another life-and-death matter, for much higher stakes, Jesus has called us who love Him to share the Good News of His sacrifice with others. Sometimes this will place us in danger. Sometimes we will lose friends and alienate family.None of that matters. All that matters is that lost people who have no other hope for escape will rely on what we tell them about our King.Let's pray. Lord, the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross has given us eternal life. Please keep giving us opportunities to reach others with this Good News. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

This week, we focus our summer-series discussion on the Oscar-winning SCHINDLER'S LIST, No. 8 on the American Film Institute's Top 100 Movies. Specifically, we focus on Oskar Schindler's journey from an amoral man focused on profiting from World War II and his fellow Nazis' barbaric treatment of Jews … to a savior of those victimized people. How does he end up there? His compassion and his character grow after witnessing atrocities that take his focus off making a fortune for himself to spending that fortune to buy the freedom – and the very lives – of endangered Jews. He expresses his hopes early in the film that he people would say of his business acumen after the war started “He did something extraordinary” by amassing “all the riches in the world.” That is indeed what is still said today about Oskar Schindler … but in a far different, far more significant way than he was capable of imagining when he said it.

Tune in as Arthur's pal Kate comes back around to the program for a breakdown of Schindler's List, the 1993 Holocaust drama that covers the real-life tale of German industrialist and Nazi Party member Oskar Schindler as he ends up using his factory work to rescue over a thousand Jews. Considering the genocide that Israel has been committing against Palestine for the past nine months (or really, for decades), it's timely to go back through history and focus on a previous genocide. Frustrations with the sanitization of the dickweasel parts of Schindler's life, the movie's choice to draw parallels between Schindler and Nazi Amon Göth, and the hosts' favorite film composers comprise a few of the talking points for this episode. Directed by Steven Spielberg, Schindler's List stars Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Caroline Goodall, Jonathan Sagall, Embeth Davidtz, Ezra Dagan, Wojciech Klata, Bettina Kupfer, and Ludger Pistor.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Pearly Gates, published by lsusr on May 30, 2024 on LessWrong. St. Peter stood at a podium before the Gates of Heaven. The gates were gold, built on a foundation of clouds. A line of people curved and winded across the clouds, beyond what would be a horizon if this plane of existence was positively-curved. Instead, they just trailed away into Infinity, away from the golden wall securing Heaven. The worthy would enter eternal paradise. The unforgiven would burn in Hell for just as long. Infinite judgment for finite lives. "Next please," said St. Peter. The foremost man stepped forward. He had freckles and brilliant orange hair. "Tell me about yourself," said St. Peter. "Me name's Seamus O'Malley, sure, and I was - or still am, begorrah - an Irish Catholic," said Seamus. "How did you die?" said St. Peter. "Jaysus, I went and blew meself to bits tryin' to cobble together an auld explosive to give those English occupiers a proper boot, so I did," said Seamus. "You were a good Catholic," said St. Peter, "You're in." Seamus entered the Pearly Gates with his head held high. "Next please," said St. Peter. A Floridian woman stepped forward. "My name is Megan Roberts. I worked as a nurse. I couldn't bear to tell people their family members were going to die. I poisoned them so they would die when a less empathetic nurse was on watch," said the nurse. "That's a grave sin," said St. Peter. "But it's okay because I'm a Christian. Protestant," said Megan. "Did you go to church?" said St. Peter. "Mostly just Christmas and Easter," said Megan, "But moments before I died, I asked Jesus for forgiveness. That means my sins are wiped away, right?" "You're in," said St. Peter. "Next please," said St. Peter. A skinny woman stepped forward. "My name is Amanda Miller. I'm an Atheist. I've never attended church or prayed to God. I was dead certain there was no God until I found myself in the queue on these clouds. Even right now, I'm skeptical this isn't a hallucination," said Amanda. "Were you a good person?" asked St. Peter. "Eh," said Amanda, "I donated a paltry 5% of my income to efficient public health measures, resulting in approximately 1,000 QALYs." "As punishment for your sins, I condemn you to an eternity of Christians telling you 'I told you so'," said St Peter, "You're in." "Next please," said St. Peter. A bald man with a flat face stepped forward. "My name is Oskar Schindler. I was a Nazi," said Oskar. "Metaphorical Nazi or Neo-Nazi?" asked St Peter. "I am from Hildesheim, Germany. I was a card-carrying member of the Nazi Party from 1935 until 1945," said Oskar. "Were you complicit in the war or just a passive bystander?" asked St. Peter. "I was a war profiteer. I ran a factory that employed Jewish slave labor to manufacture munitions in Occupied Poland," said Oskar. "Why would you do such a thing?" asked St. Peter. "The Holocaust," said Oskar, "Nobody deserves that. Every Jew I bought was one fewer Jew in the death camps. Overall, I estimate I saved 1,200 Jews from the gas chambers." St. Peter waited, as if to say go on. "I hired as many workers as I could. I made up excuses to hire extra workers. I bent and broke every rule that got in my way. When that didn't work, I bought black market goods to bribe government officials. I wish I could have done more, but we do what we can with the limited power we have," said Oskar, "Do you understand?" St. Peter glanced furtively at the angels guarding the Gates of Heaven. He leaned forward, stared daggers into Oskar's eyes and whispered, "I think I understand you perfectly." "Next please," said St. Peter. A skinny Indian man stepped forward. "My name is Siddhartha Gautama. I was a prince. I was born into a life of luxury. I abandoned my duties to my kingdom and to my people," said Siddhartha. St. Peter read from his scroll. "It says ...

If compassion hasn't been modeled for us, what is our default? As men, we often underestimate the power of compassion.

In December 1937, the Chinese capital, Nanjing, falls and the Japanese army unleash an orgy of torture, murder, and rape. Over the course of six weeks, hundreds of thousands of civilians and prisoners of war are killed. At the very onset of the atrocities, the Danish supervisor at a cement plant just outside the city, 26-year-old Bernhard Arp Sindberg, opens the factory gates and welcomes in 10,000 Chinese civilians to safety, beyond the reach of the blood-thirsty Japanese. He becomes an Asian equivalent of Oskar Schindler, the savior of Jews in the European Holocaust. Bernhard Sindberg: The Schindler of Nanjing (Casemate, 2024) follows Sindberg from his childhood in the old Viking city of Aarhus and on his first adventures as a sailor and a Foreign Legionnaire to the dramatic 104 days as a rescuer of thousands of helpless men, women, and children in the darkest hour of the Sino-Japanese War. It describes how after his remarkable achievement, he receded back into obscurity, spending decades more at sea and becoming a naturalized American citizen, before dying of old age in Los Angeles in 1983, completely unrecognized. In this respect, too, there is an obvious parallel with Schindler, who only attained posthumous fame. The book sets the record straight by providing the first complete account of Sindberg's life in English, based on archival sources hitherto unutilized by any historian as well as interviews with surviving relatives. What emerges is the surprising tale of a person who was average in every respect but rose to the occasion when faced with unimaginable brutality, discovering an inner strength and courage that transformed him into one of the great humanitarian figures of the 20th century and an inspiration for our modern age, demonstrating that the determined actions of one person--any person--can make a huge difference.

Between 1940 and 1943, Polish diplomats based in Bern, Switzerland, engaged in a remarkable – and until now, almost completely untold – humanitarian operation. This operation was one of the largest actions to aid Jews of the entire war and far eclipsed the better-known efforts of Oskar Schindler. In concert with two Jewish activists, these diplomats masterminded a systematic program of forging documents for Latin American countries that were smuggled into occupied Europe, in an attempt to save the lives of thousands of Jews facing extermination in the Holocaust.Today's guest is Roger Moorhouse, author of “The Forgers: The Forgotten Story of the Holocaust's Most Audacious Rescue Operation.” We look at the heroism of a group of ordinary men whose actions were part of a wider story of the Polish Underground resistance.

Regular listeners know how I look for role models in similar situations to ours regarding the environment. We know our polluting and depleting are bringing us toward collapse, but instead of acting, we procrastinate on acting. We rationalize and justify our inaction. We abdicate our responsibility, capitulate, and resign to complacency and complicity.Humans behaved this way in the face of slavery, especially during and after the Atlantic Slave Trade, which led me to bring several guests who were experts on that period and people who acted against it.Humans behaved this way in the face of fascism too. I'm not comparing people today to Nazis, but to Germans who may not have been Nazis, and may even have opposed them, but continued paying taxes, supporting them, and not opposing them. This episode brings my first subject-matter expert in the field of the rise of the Nazis. I've written and brought guests on who knew some people like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Sousa Mendez, Raoul Wallenberg, and Oskar Schindler, but I haven't learned about the politics and conditions that led to Hitler's rise.Benjamin Carter Hett's book The Death of Democracy recounts that rise, to critical praise (of the book, not Hitler's rise), including new historical information.How could people watch it happen and not stop it?What can we learn from them to stop ourselves from procrastinating and watching it happen?What options do we have? What options can we create? Ben's home pageHis book: The Death of Democracy: Hitler's Rise to Power and the Downfall of the Weimar RepublicHis page at the CUNY Graduate Center Hosted on Acast.
