Status Updates From La Lista di Schindler

I always thought Schindler was supposed to be a great guy, a hero. However, in the book he's difficult to like and definitely not a hero. He's portrayed as opportunistic, a philander, and a drunk hustler. In real life he may have done some good. But if this is who he was, he didn't do it for the better good; he did it for his own gain (monetary and to protect his hide when it was all over).
