Mieczyslaw (Mietek) Pemper was born in 1920 to Jewish parents in Krakow, Poland. Pemper grew up speaking German and Polish. He studied law and business prior to the Nazi invasion of Poland. In 1939, he and his family were forced into the Krakow ghetto and later deported to the Plaszow concentration camp. Pemper was appointed as the secretary to the camp commandant, Amon Göth. Based on the information about Göth and the SS that Pemper gathered while at his post, he helped Oskar Schindler save Jewish factory workers from concentration camps. Pemper also testified at the war crimes trials of Amon Göth and other Nazi officials. After the war, he studied sociology and settled in southern Germany, where he now works as a corporate consultant.
