Members of the Krakow, Poland, Jewish community and U.S. college students put a plaque on display honoring German industrialist Oscar Schindler, whose campaign to save 1,200 Jews from the Holocaust was chronicled in Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning 1993 film "Schindler's List."

The black metal plaque, placed on Schindler's former "Emalia" factory in the southern city of Krakow, bears the Talmud quotation "He who saves one life, saves the whole world," in Polish, English and Hebrew, said Pawel Zielinski of the KCI S.A. company, who attended the ceremony Monday.

"When I think that I lived to this moment, it seems to me I'm dreaming," said Eugenia Manor, 77, whom Schindler saved along with her parents and brother.
