So, according to her theory, in his youth won the Oscar glory of the fraudster adventures with monetary transactions. He was later accused of spying for the Third Reich because of what was held in prison for several months. After the release of Schindler went to Poland, where he opened his case and began to make connections to the Gestapo.
