Hero stories in Sinzing: Prof. Rosenberg on Schindler's courage!
On Saturday, October 25, 2025, Prof. Erika Rosenberg will give a lecture in the Evangelical Community Center in Sinzing. The title of her lecture is: "Whoever saves a human life saves the whole world - insights into the biographies of Emilie and Oskar Schindler. Against the forgetting of unsung heroes". This event is organized by the municipality of Sinzing and starts at 7:00 p.m. and entry is free. The event offers the opportunity to learn more about the heroic deeds of the Schindlers, who saved approximately 1,200 Jews from death in the gas chambers between October 1939 and May 1945 by employing them in their factories to protect them from deportation and gassing. Sinzing.de reports that the topic of the lecture is particularly current and touching.
Prof. Erika Rosenberg, who comes from Argentina, is not only an experienced biographer of the Schindler family, but also a descendant of German Jews who emigrated to Argentina. She met Emilie Schindler in Buenos Aires in 1990 and has since written numerous biographies about her and Oskar Schindler. In addition, she became the heiress and administrator of Emilie Schindler's estate and accompanied her until her death on October 5, 2001. Hey.Bavaria highlights that Prof. Rosenberg was also awarded the Federal Cross of Merit and the Austrian Holocaust Award for her commitment in the field of human rights. Their works are an important part of the culture of remembrance.
Insights into the biographies of Emilie and Oskar Schindler
Prof. Rosenberg's lecture will not only shed light on the historical background of Emilie and Oskar Schindler, but also their personal stories and the motivation behind their courageous actions. They sacrificed their lives and fortunes to defend human rights at a time when they were often completely ignored. In her current work “The Glass House” she focuses on the rescue of Hungarian Jews and shows how important it is to still stand up for tolerance and humanity today.
The event in Sinzing offers a valuable opportunity to learn from an expert and personal companion of Emilie Schindler. There is great interest in this topic and the community looks forward to numerous visitors who would like to engage with the lessons from the past.
