Answer:
Oscar Schindler was born and brought up in a Catholic family and grew up in a neighborhood of a Jew family. As to the question, there is no exact reason, but it is considered that because of his belief and bond with the Jewish family he went to the extreme side of saving his Jews workers while risking his life.
Explanation:
Oscar Schindler was a German Catholic who worked as a spy and war profiter. During World War II, Schindler traveled to Poland and started an enamelware factory.
His factory would produce goods to support the German military. He hired Polish Jews as they were low waged workers but eventually developed a connection with them. This led him to save his workers from concentration camps. He began bribing SS officers with the money he earned and saved more than 1,100 Jews from going to concentration camps. This also involved great risk to his life.

Black Death:
Cause- Around 2,000 years ago black rats, caught the plague from other species of rats that were infested with fleas that carried the plague. Fleas carried the bacteria that caused the plague and transferred it to the rats. When the fleas found a warm-blooded animal, they jumped onto it, drank its blood, and transmitted the plague. When infected rats died, the fleas hopped off them and onto other rats or nearby humans.
Effect- By the 14th century the Black Death had taken about half the population of Europe. A population decline of that magnitude had a big effect on everyday life and on the European economy. For those who survived the illness, many of these effects were economically beneficial.
When the Black Death finally was gone landowners had farms that were standing still because there were not enough workers to take care of them. Merchants and artisans had no assistants. Shops whose owners had died needed to be reopened. In short, much of Europe’s economy needed to be rebuilt. The effects of the plague made economic changes that changed most European societies by empowering those who had been on the low end of the economy.Great Famine:
Cause- rain flooded farms and rotted crops
Effect-this left no food for people or animals and caused millions to die of starvation

The Crusades were a series of religious and political wars fought
between 1096 and 1291 for control of the Holy Land. Pope Urban II
initiated the First Crusade (1096–1102) in order to aid the Christian
Byzantine Empire, which was under attack by Muslim Seljuk Turks. As a
result of this crusade, Europeans captured Jerusalem in 1099. Muslims
quickly unified against the Christian invading and occupying force and
the two groups battled in subsequent wars for control of the Holy Land.
By 1291 the Muslims firmly controlled Jerusalem and the coastal areas,
which remained in Islamic hands until the twentieth century.
<span>The crusading movement involved men and women from every country in
Europe and touched upon almost every aspect of daily life, from the
Church and religious thought, to politics and economics. It also found
its way into the arts, as patrons and artists from diverse backgrounds
and traditions were brought together to create new forms of expression.
Frescos, mosaics, sculptures, and even coins reflected a blend of
Western (Latin/Catholic) and Eastern (Byzantine/Eastern Christian)
traditions. Crusaders appeared in histories as well as in French and
German epic poetry from the twelfth century, such as the <em>Chanson d’Antioche</em>, an account of the 1098 siege in Antioch.</span>
The crusading movement involved men and women from every country in
Europe and touched upon almost every aspect of daily life, from the
Church and religious thought, to politics and economics.
<span>Christians understood the Crusades as a path to salvation for those
who participated. As the French monk Guilbert of Nogent wrote in his
twelfth century chronicle of the Crusades, “God has instituted in our
time holy wars, so that the order of knights and the crowd running in
its wake… might find a new way of gaining salvation. And so they are not
forced to abandon secular affairs completely by choosing the monastic
life or any religious profession, as used to be the custom, but can
attain in some measure God’s grace while pursuing their own careers,
with the liberty and in the dress to which they are accustomed.” Those
who “took up the cross” were recipients of both <em>spiritual</em> and <em>earthly</em>
rewards. The spiritual reward was the indulgence, or the forgiveness,
of sins. The earthly rewards included plunder from conquest, forgiveness
of debts, and freedom from taxes, as well as fame and political power.
Crusaders did not only fight for control of the Holy Land; they also
worked to secure the Church’s power in Europe. Like the wars against the
Muslims, these conflicts were promoted by various popes in Christ’s
name and led by crusaders who took vows and received special privileges
and indulgences. The “enemies” of the Church in Europe included people
who were not Christians. It also included Christians who were labeled
heretics, that is, people who challenged the official teachings of the
Church or who questioned the pope’s power and authority.</span>
<span>Millions of people, Christian and non-Christian, soldiers and
noncombatants lost their lives during the Crusades. In addition to the
enormous loss of life, the debt incurred and other economic costs
associated with the multiple excursions to the Middle East impacted all
levels of society, from individual families and villages, to budding
nation-states. The wars also resulted in the destruction of cities and
towns that lay in the crusaders’ wake. In his <em>Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire</em>,
Edward Gibbon refers to the Crusades as an event in which “the lives
and labours of millions, which were buried in the East, would have been
more profitably employed in the improvement of their native country.”</span>
The English Bill of Rights directly influenced "the Declaration of Independence", since it outlined limitations on the monarchy in favor of the population, however it also influenced the Constitution in some ways.
