When Schindler opened his enamel factory in Krakow he took my father as a watchmaker & my mother as a seamstress to work for him. When the forced labor camp in Plashow was opened and Ammon Goeth was the commander, they were sent to work there.

When Schindler opened his factory at Brinnitz on the Czech border and Itzhak Stern began to compose Schindler's list, he included my parents on it. They remained at Brinnitz until war's end.

at the end of the war Schindler was afraid that he'd be caught by the allies (he was a nazi) so my father made a ring for Schindler which he engraved with the verse " he who saves one Jewish soul saves the whole world."

My parents met Schindler again after the war in Nuremberg when all three were there as witnesses against Ammon Goeth. My parents and Schindler stayed friends thereafter.

Schindler signed and gave the photo to my parents as a souvenir of their relationship in 1949 after they (my parents) immigrated to Israel.

When Schindler first came to Israel he visited our house and my father's business in Tel Aviv and stayed with us. During his visit, my father reconstructed (remade) the ring he gave Schindler at war's end, Schindler having lost the original ring in a card game and gave him the second ring as a present.

I hope that you'll keep this picture and that you'll give it the great honor it deserves, (Schindler having been) a Czech non Jew who saved 1400 Jews.

With best regards
