    Criticism of Speer’s success in armament production focuses on the human ‘cost’, much of the increase of armament production rested on the exploitation of foreign workers and the prisoners of war, whom were kept under horrific conditions. In the Nuremburg trials Albert Speer claimed that the appropriation of the workers was the responsibility of Fritz Saukel, his deputy. Fritz Saukel was known for being ruthless while carrying out his work, he wrote in his memorandum to his officials, “all men must be fed, housed and treated in such a way as to exploit them to the greatest possible extent at the absolute minimum of expenditure.” Although Speer only got 20 years at the Nuremburg trials and Fritz Saukel was sentenced to death it was Albert Speer as the minister who was responsible for the number of workers that were used and even the conditions in which they were forced to work in.…

    Oskar Schindler was a man who lived in Krakow, Poland throughout the period of the Holocaust and World War II. During the Holocaust, Oskar Schindler managed to help over one thousand Jewish people escape from a deadly persecution. Schindler accomplished something that was socially unacceptable at the time; he prevailed against a system that showed no weakness. Schindler manipulated hundreds of men and women during the Holocaust so that he may do the unthinkable, and saved those he should most certainly despise. Oskar Schindler was able to complete all that he did because of his personal background.…

    Oskar Schindler was a man who was considered a good man by many. He gave jobs to the hated Jews and the cripples even though these things were strongly looked down upon and eventually became something that was just far fetched in anyone’s mind but his own. In the time when he lived Jewish women were looked upon as non-human and something to be ashamed of but instead of hating the Jewish women he kissed one of them. He was looked to as a very good person by many and a very strange person by others as he treated the Jews like humans. When the Jews started to be tortured and forced to work for the government and treated horribly Oskar took them in and saved them. He had to do something.…

    “Schindler our protector, he was the only one who could protect us.” is a quote by Sol Urbach, a refugee of Oskar Schindler. Oskar Schindler was a Holocaust rescuer who saved over 1,200 prisoners during World War II. He rescued many of these prisoners by employing them in his factory as an excuse for their release. Oskar’s personality developed when he realized how awfully Jews were being treated during the war, so he decided to use his wealth to save the countless lives of others. Schindler used his cleverness, generosity, and social status to keep his Jews from the brutal conditions they might have had to face by Nazi party. Oskar may not have had a perfect early or adult life, but he is an outgoing hero of the Holocaust.…

    Albert Speer Analysis

    Despite Albert Speer’s claims, as Minister of Armaments, it is inevitable that Albert Speer was aware of the use and abuse of forced labour and the appalling conditions of inmates at concentration camps and I find it hard to believe anything contrary. As Gitta Sereny suggests, Speer knew a lot more than what he led on, he knew what he was inevitably going to find out. Although Speer states in, Inside the Third Reich, “I did not investigate, I did not want to know”, this position of knowledge places him with direct personal responsibility for the use and abuse of forced labourers.…
