Danka Dresner
Janek Dresner is Juda and Mrs. Dresner’s son, Genia’s cousin, and Danka Dresner’s brother. Schindler saves Janek and other members of the Dresner family from the Płaszów concentration camp and moves them to Schindler’s factory in Brinnlitz. There, while Schindler is away, Janek makes a mistake during an inspection and is accused of sabotage. Despite Commandant Liepold’s attempts to hold a hearing and swiftly dispose of Janek, Schindler cleverly helps Janek avoid death by starting his own hearing, then breaking it up before sentencing.

Quotes
This deft subversion may not have satisfied Liepold and Schoenbrun. For the sitting had not reached a formal conclusion; it had not ended in a judgment. But they could not complain that Oskar had avoided a hearing, or treated it with levity.
Dresner’s account, given later in his life, raises the supposition that Brinnlitz maintained its prisoners’ lives by a series of stunts so rapid that they were nearly magical. To tell the strict truth though, Brinnlitz, both as a prison and as a manufacturing enterprise, was itself, of its nature and in a literal sense, the one sustained, dazzling, integral confidence trick.
