American Israeli Cooperative Enterprise. "Oskar Schindler." Jewish Virtual Library. Last modified 2014. Accessed October 5, 2014. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/schindler.html.
This web page tells about Schindler's life before, during and after World War II. It tells how he wasn't always a leader or a hero. He cheated, gambled, drank, and caused his family business to go bankrupt. From this source, I will use information about how Schindler didn't start out to help the Jews. He started out by using them for cheap labor so he could make lots of profit in his factory. It helped me better understand what Schindler was like and what things must have been like for him to go from only thinking of himself, to helping over a thousand Jews survive the holocaust. This is a credible source because it uses the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for its information. It is a secondary source that gets its information from many primary sources.
Bulow, Louis. "A Letter from the Schindler Jews." Holocaust: Crimes, Heroes and Villains. Last modified 2012. Accessed November 9, 2014. http://www.auschwitz.dk/Schindlerletter.htm.
This website contains the translation of a letter written on the day the war ended, by the Jews that Schindler saved. It explains what Schindler did to help save the Jews, and gives examples of how he helped them, even setting up a hospital section in his factory to help one hundred frozen and dying prisoners. From this source, I learned what it was like for the Jews who were protected in Schindler's factory. The letter shows how grateful they were to Schindler and how much he meant to them. They knew if it weren't for him, most of them would have been killed. This letter is a primary source, written on May 8, 1945, by the Jewish workers in Schindler's factory, while they were waiting for their official liberation.
Bulow, Louis. Oskar Schindler. Photograph. Oskar Schidler, Rescuer of Jews. 2013. Accessed October 4, 2014. http://www.oskarschindler.net/.
The content of this photograph shows a great brave leader who would risk his life for what he thinks is right. From this source I can put a face on this great World War 2 hero and really imagine what he was like. The credibility of this source is very credible considering the details and explanations of what he really did in the article underneath the photo and has choices of articles/photographs on Jews who he saved from certain death. This helped me understand my topic better because it showed what this legendary savior looked like and as how to imagine how he did what he did. I categorize this source as a primary source because it is a photograph taken of Oskar Schindler while he was still alive and in the time period of his historic accomplishment.

She remembers Mr. Schindler being dressed very nicely in a fancy suit, picking her up and carrying her out of the train even though she was covered in filth and pus, and promising her that she would be ok. From this source, I can get a first person account from one of the Jews who was saved by Schindler, and would certainly have died very soon if he hadn't saved her.

This article tells how Schindler was a Nazi who made a fortune using cheap Jewish labor in his factories before World War II, and how his views changed after witnessing some of the terrible things being done to Jews.

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum website is a very credible source. It contains lots of first person accounts and interviews with people who survived the war and with Schindler himself. This article is a secondary source, using information from witnesses and interviews to tell how Schindler changed and helped save so many.
