Following the German invasion and occupation of Poland, Schindler moved to Krakow from Svitavy. Taking advantage of the German occupation program to “Aryanize” and “Germanize” Jewish-owned and Polish-owned businesses in the so-called General Government (Generalgouvernement), he bought Rekord Ltd., a Jewish-owned enamelware manufacturer and converted its plant to establish the Deutsche Emalwarenfabrik Oskar Schindler (German Enamelware Factory Oskar Schindler), also known as Emalia, in November 1939. While Schindler operated two other factories in Krakow, only at Emalia did he employ Jewish workers who resided in the nearby Krakow ghetto. At its peak strength in 1944, Emalia employed 1,700 workers; at least 1,000 were Jewish forced laborers, whom the Germans had relocated from the Krakow ghetto after its liquidation in March 1943 to the forced labor camp and later concentration camp Krakau-Plaszow.

A. Reinstated the draft of soldiers.

Explanation:

The Selective Training and Service Act was created in 1940 and made it so all young men between the ages of 21-45 were in the draft for the military and military training.

During this time, World War II was just starting and the United States needed to make sure they had soldiers, but especially soldiers who knew what they were doing.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was president, instituted the Selective Training and Service Act to prepare the United States for war. This was the first-ever peacetime draft, it trained men between the ages of 21-45 for military service while putting them in the draft.
