    According to the Times of Israel newspaper, Mimi Reinhardt, who drew up lists for German entrepreneur Oskar Schindler that helped save hundreds of Jews during the Holocaust in World War II, has died. She lived to be 107 years old.

    As Schindler’s secretary, Reinhardt was in charge of accumulating the names of Jewish workers from Krakow’s ghetto who would be saved from deportation to the Nazi regime’s death camps if they worked at his factory.

    “At the age of 107, my grandma, who was kind and one-of-a-kind, passed away. Nina Reinhardt, Reinhardt’s granddaughter, left a note to relatives saying, “Rest in peace.”

    Reinhardt, who was born in Austria, worked for Schindler’s business until 1945.

    After the end of the war, she moved to New York before moving to Israel in 2007 to live with her son. She spent her last years at a nursing home north of Tel Aviv.
