Vitka textile factory of Oskar Schindler, Brněnec.
Schindler’s factory may be named Czech cultural heritage site
Anything to save? Site where Nazi industrialist turned humanitarian Oskar Schindler moved .

A crumbling factory in the eastern Bohemia— immortalized in Steven Speilberg’s 1993 film “Schindler’s List” as the place that led to the ultimate salvation of some 1,200 refugees from the Holocaust – is set to become a Czech cultural heritage site. But time is running short to save it.

The factory lies in the town of Brněnec, not far from where Oskar Schindler was raised, back when it was deep within the Sudeten German region of Czechoslovakia (and known by the locals as Brünnlitz). Before to the Second World War broke out, the factory was owned by the Jewish Loew-Beer family.
