Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Itzhak Stern (January 25, 1901 1969) was a Jewish accountant to German industrialist Oskar Schindler. He worked alongside Schindler as the accountant for his enamelware company (Deutsche Emaillewarenfabrik) in Kraków and greatly helped in running the company. He is credited with typing the list of names known as Schindler's list, a list of Jews who survived the Holocaust because of Oskar Schindler's intervention.Even though he was Jewish and Schindler was a Nazi, Schindler gave his gratitude to Stern. In their first meeting, Stern informed Schindler that he could use Jewish slave labour to staff his factory at a lower price than Polish laborers. Schindler, recognizing the advantage, took Stern up on his suggestion. Stern was said to be able to bring out the strong moral side of Schindler. Stern, like Schindler, was an opportunist, and he was a main contributor to the rescue of the Schindlerjuden.
