I have to turn in an English project on Oskar Schindler in by this Wednesday and it has to be six pages long typed up. It also has to be in my own words. I already have three pages typed up on him. So, could you help me with the rest? I would really appreciate it. By the way, this is what I have typed up so far:
Oskar Schindler was born on April 18, 1908. He moved to the city of Cracow. There, he foresaw enormous business opportunities. He acquired a small factory that produced pots and pans called enamelware by the end of 1939. He created a sanctuary for Jews at his factory and employed more than one thousand Jews by 1944.
Oskar Schindler had made a fortune on military contracts during World War 2. He spent nearly all of it to save Jews from the Holocaust. He built a branch camp at his factory to protect his workers from the hunger and violence at Plzow. He brought about 100 more Jews into the camp in the following months.
Oskar Schindler made a list of more than 1,100 Jews. The list became famous as “Schindler’s List.” This list was of whom he wanted to work at his factory. Almost 800 men and women were employed at his factory.
Oskar Schindler requested the Gestapo to send him all intercepted Jewish fugitives. A hundred additional people were saved by this request.

While I certainly won't write your paper for you, I would suggest writing about what happened to Schindler as a result of his actions during World War II.
In addition, it may be of some benefit to discuss the number of people alive today thanks to the efforts of Schindler.
It may also be of some interest to discuss more thoroughly the theories behind why Schindler shifted his philosophy from 'war profiteer' to spending his way into bankruptcy in order to save 1,100 strangers. While the exact reasons weren't clear, you can certainly list quite a few possibilities (this is what is affectionately known as 'filler material').
Good luck on your paper.

You could rent the movie Schindler's List, and get ideas from that. He died a mournful death, as he was revered in Israel, and despised in Germany.
