Mimi Reinhard

"In late 1944, as a slave laborer in the administrative offices of the Plaszow concentration camp in Poland, Mrs. Reinhard typed an important version of the manifest of prisoners bound for Oskar Schindler’s munitions factory in the area of the Czech Republic then known as the Sudetenland. By adding her name and the names of two friends, she almost certainly saved her own life and theirs.

"After the war, Mrs. Reinhard stayed friendly with other 'Schindler Jews,' as the former workers are known. She also expressed regret that Mr. Schindler, whom she adored, did not become a household name until after his death in 1974. 'He would have loved it, the attention,' she said."
