How many people did Schindler actually save?

Senior Moments

Oscar Schindler has been described as a cynical, greedy exploiter of slave workers during the Second World War, a black-marketeer, gambler, member of the Nazi party eternally on the lookout for profit, alcoholic playboy and shameless womanizer of the worst sort. In the beginning of the 1960s, this same Oscar Schindler was honoured in Israel and declared "Righteous" and invited to plant a tree in The Avenue of the Righteous, which leads to the Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem. A memorial in the Park of Heroes praises him as the Saviour of more than 1,200 Jews! Jul 29 03, 3:23 AM

I thought that, but on the film doesn't it say he saved 1100? Jul 29 03, 11:20 AM

All the sites I see say either hundreds, 1100, 1300, nearly 1500 adn so on. THe general consensus is that it was between 100 - and 1500. Jul 29 03, 11:26 AM
