Know it or not like it or not his company's labor needs Had the Nazis pull people out of their homes and force them to work as chattle slaves till they died, or could not work any more where upon they were executed. Bottom line he still lobbied, owned, kept, and work slaves to their deaths all the while collecting money for the products the slaves made..
What sets him apart is when he received his final death orders, he made a great effort to save them.
One good deed does not mean you did not do a whole lot of bad before or after you got to your good deed.
As I said, inform yourself. And I don't mean the movie. There are books and oral accounts of the survivors to look at. There's also a reason why he's called Righteous among the nations and why his grave is in Jerusalem. He wasn't decent compared to other Nazis. He was decent, plain and simple, because he protected more than a thousand people from certain death.
I for one tend to respect deeds more than words, if you get my drift.
