Levi lucked  out. His scientific training  saved him in the camps by getting  him a protected  assignment .

After they were freed the good natured  Russian guards took a train load of them on an endless train  journey to nowhere. In the process of which the guards on one occasion put on a variety show for the freed  prisoners.

For his part,  Schindler before heading West with some prisoners to tell the (amazing ) story-in Yiddish to a GI, first gathered both the German guards and the  Jewish prisoners and told them to  just cool it for a few days until someone came to "liberate" them . And they all did.

Civilized actions ,in the midst of its absence. 

 If someone leads the way.

They'd  just  been able to stave off starvation until the Russians arrived.  Twenty years later in an LA  book store  Dunleavy asked one of the  prisoners whether Schindler ate the same food.. "What , Oscar ? Shared  that food? "  Laughing.

The right attitude. Risked his life to    save  300 prisoners for 6 years  but no way  to skip   a good meal.  Nor was it expected  of him .

Nor of his  skipping  the occasional  sojourn   in the  water tank  under the factory roof.  With an attractive warder.
