Change "Schindler lost the actual ring soon after the war" to "The ring itself is consider lost with no clear indication of what happened to it in the year following the war."

This better reflect what in the cited source which does not in anyway indicate that Schindler lost the ring as opposed to it being stolen, sold, confiscated or simply lost after Schindler's death. The only quote in the cited article is clearly more general: "That gold ring has long been considered lost, with no clear explanation of what Schindler did with it after the war."

Done. Changed to The whereabouts of the actual ring have long been unknown, nor is it clear what Schindler did with it after the war. Xan747 (talk) 14:51, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

is it still protected? MatthewKulinsky (talk) 20:12, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes — Diannaa (talk) 01:51, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Role in Gleiwitz incident

Should this article mention Schindler's alleged role in the Gleiwitz incident? He's already mentioned in the article on the incident itself. It seems like it might be a good tidbit to add to the section on his Abwehr career, if there are reliable sources to support his involvement. 70.181.1.68 (talk) 05:25, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like a pretty minor incident in his life. I don't think we should include it. — Diannaa (talk) 12:28, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish Agency for Israel

During WW2, wouldnt the funding be from the Jewish Agency for Palestine? The name was changed after Oskar Schindler's collaboration with them, and therefore the entry's text should state "Jewish Agency for Palestine." The linked to location is correct, but this article's text should use the name that was contemporary to Schindler for the sake of historical accuracy 2601:5CF:8000:6B60:4010:2BF9:AAE6:C475 (talk) 19:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for the suggestion.
