Oskar Schindler was a Sudeten German industrialist who saved his Jewish factory workers from the Holocaust and the subject of the prestige picture Schindler's List.

History[edit]

Mr. Burns said to Señor Spielbergo that he should do for him what Spielberg did for Oskar Schindler. Spielbergo looked doubtful and said, "Schindler es bueno, Señor Burns es el diablo." Burns became angry and said to him that Schindler and he were like peas in a pod, "We're both factory owners, we both made shells for the Nazis, but mine worked, so go out and win me that festival."

Behind the Laughter[edit]

• Burns is referring to the critically acclaimed 1993 film Schindler's List, directed and co-produced by Steven Spielberg.
• "We both made shells for the Nazis" refers to the fact that many of the Jews Schindler employed worked in an ammunition factory in occupied Krakow, Poland. Schindler, despite being appalled by the treatment of the Jews, was a member of the Nazi Party.
