During World War I, canadians were encouraged to do all they could to support the troops overseas. Farm women worked long hours in the fields, and women from the cities also replaced those who were overseas. Women began work in munitions depots. During World War II, women took roles in almost every war industry, and often smaller roles such as telephone operators and clerks, and even truck drivers. Women began to learn plumbing, mechanics, and electrical trades. 20 thousand took part directly in military service (reserve corps, navy/marines). Women began work in the RAF as engineers, and several became well-known.
Originally, Schindler sought to profit from the German invasion of Poland in 1939, buying a factory in Krakow at a low price and employing Jews as cheap "slave" labour, which he was able to do under Nazi rule. Schindler initially hid wealthy Jewish investors, possibly for profit, but later he began shielding his workers without regard to cost. Schindler began actively helping the Jews after witnessing a 1942 raid on the Kraków Ghetto, where soldiers shipped the ghetto inhabitants to the concentration camp at Plaszow. Appalled by the murder of many Jews who had tried to hide, he worked to transfer them to a safer place. He was skilled in persuasive speech and often bribed government officials to avoid being investigated. .
