"Save one life and you save the world" Dark tide of evil swept over Europe Eclipsing light and truth Nazi jack-boots stamping down Upon necks of innocence, oppressing SS and Gestapo spreading terror For Jews... Hitler's final solution. German businessman Schindler Successful, enjoying wealthy lifestyle Wining, dining in best restaurants Making love to beautiful women Driving fast cars, friend of SS officers Using black market making huge profits. When he witnessed treatment of Jews Made to wear yellow Star of David Humiliated, beaten in the streets Living in ghettos, caged like zoo animals Transported in cattle trucks to death camps Divine light flicked on in his heart. Seeing evil tried to rescue Jews Bought factory employing Jewish labour Saving them from gas chamber Making list of names, bribing SS Risking torture and execution Saving as many Jews as he could. His Jews called themselves 'Schindler's Juden' When war ended Israel honoured him With title ‘Righteous Person.' He planted a tree in Avenue of the Righteous One man's stand against evil. Oskar Schindler is buried in Israel.
