Emilie Schindler – Gender and Testimony Education


A series of events with the visit of Erika Rosenburg the heir and biographer of Emilie Schindler, “The Angel of Schindler’s Ark”.

What was the role of Emilie Schindler, the wife of Oskar, in saving 1200 Jews in Brnenec? Were the Jews saved by an individual or a partnership of Oskar, Emilie and the Jews themselves? How has the role of Emilie Schindler been portrayed, in the script of a film Oskar contributed to in the 1960s, in the book and film Schindler’s List, and in the memoirs of Emilie Schindler?

What does this tell you about the changing role of gender? How can her role be represented in the Museum of Survivors in Brnenec?
