I didn't know who she was, but I heard about her this morning on NPR. 

Mimi Reinhardt, who drew up lists for German industrialist Oskar Schindler that helped save hundreds of Jews during the Holocaust, has died aged 107, her family said Friday.

As Schindler’s secretary, Reinhardt was in charge of drawing up the lists of Jewish workers from the ghetto of the Polish city of Krakow who were recruited to work at his factory, saving them from deportation to Nazi death camps.



If I am correct from the report I heard this morning, at one point, the train she was on was diverted from it's destination of a Schindler factory, and she and all of the workers ended up at Auschwitz. Schindler got them out.

She was 107. She was someone to acknowledge, so I thought I would share.

Sad to hear but glad she and others were able to save so many.

107 years of glorious stories.  She was supposed to die in 1941 or so, and Death figured he'd just leave her until she was ready to go.

I didn't recognize the name, but great story!

I was in my 30s before I found out that there are actually people in the US that have been raised with the beliefs that the Holocaust never actually happened surprise

During those times of mass murders and concentration camps, it was not just against a certain people... it was against anyone that opposed the "current agenda". I had relatives in those camps, from the Danish side of my roots. One of the survivors, my favorite great aunt, just passed away about 15 years ago.  
Blows my mind the garbage some folks teach there kids.
