00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.879
thirty five, Oscar was a full blown alcoholic and he
105
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.879
was broke. So he started working for the Germany as
106
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:46.560
a spy. Yeah. He was telling on all the people
107
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.279

114
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:05.399
The factory was just a front.
115
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:06.079
Yeah.
116
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.000
By using it, they were able to save twelve hundred
117
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.120
Jewish people from going to concentration camps. Now you probably
