Nicholas Winton - The English Schindler

The thing that was amazing about Schindler was that, before the war, he was basically the worst person you could imagine. A German spy in Czechoslovakia, he voluntarily joined the Nazi party, then he arranged things so that he built a fancy factory and hired a lot of Jews because the Nazi government allowed you to pay them less than Poles. Then, of course, he spent his entire fortune shielding them throughout the war.

The fact that he was so despicable before the war was also his saving grace as the Germans never suspected that he had acquired a conscience.
