Mimi Reinhardt, Oskar Schindler's secretary who had helped the German industrialist draw up the lists of Jews to be saved during the Holocaust, died in Israel, where she had moved long ago.
"My grandmother, so dear and so unique, died at the age of 107. Rest in peace," wrote her granddaughter Nina. Reinhardt was born in Austria, she was also Jewish, and was hired by Schindler with which he had worked until 1945.
After the Second World War, she first moved to New York and then decided to go to Israel in 2007 and live with her only son, Sacha Weitman, a professor of sociology at Tel Aviv University.
About 1,300 Jews were saved thanks to Schindler's lists.
