Oskar Schindler - Whoever Saves One Life Saves The World Entire

In a country before common era, the land of the ponies was divided into several, smaller nations, each controlled by their respective sovereign, but they were not independent. All of them were bound to the bill of rights the ambassadors of the three tribes, consisting of Earth Ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns, put into effect in the semiannual consensus convened on neutral territory.

This bill gave everypony all basic rights as they are common today, and with every state working together, the ponies believed in a bright future of gaiety and prosperity. But these thoughts were soon about to crumble.

Northeastern of the old land was the Badlands of the Changeling Kingdom, also known as the swarm or hive, and because of their desire to pilfer love, a regenerative form of magic, to strengthen their own kind, political strains with them were a daily occurrence. Fortunately, they did not outbreak into violence and war. Not yet.

East of it, separated by a vast sea, lay the Griffon-Kingdom, a ginormous realm, lead by one ruler, known as the Primarch. The kingdom was filled with the desire to expand and gain territories from the ponies, but it was not driven by bloodthirstiness. To maintain peace, it indeed got an embassy with lands at the outer border to easily ensure the happiness of both sides, and in counter draw, they protected the borders between the Old Land and the Changeling-Kingdom.

Northwestern, next to the Changeling-Kingdom and seperated from them by a mountain chain, was the Old Crystal Empery, a relatively small veld that did not flourish as much as the Old Land of the ponies, because many little villages were scattered in it, but the massive, crystalline capital city, which was the linchpin of said nation and a sight to behold, though not as ostentatious as the Crystal Empire nowadays.

Crystal Ponies from all over the empery sought for more, and since the relationship with the more nature-oriented grassland-ponies was blooming, the nations greeted them with open arms. They easily integrated themselves into their culture and adapted themselves to it, while maintaining and honoring their origins, which, at the time, did not cause much commotion.

One of these nations was Germaneny, a relatively young state, which was barely bordering to the wealth of its neighbors, even though it got assistance from everywhere. Blessedly, the Crystal Ponies saw their opportunity in this situation and migrated mostly to this particular nation. In only decades, it prospered like no other nation ever before, and it became the most wealthy state of them all, both in terms of treasury and population.

Over half a century, it seemed like the ponies would live in a golden age, and nothing could ever disturb it. And maybe this was the exact reason why it had to crumble in front of everypony's eyes.

Especially in Germaneny, a wave of bottomless hatred of envy towards the eminently respectable Crystal Ponies, but also other immigrated species, broke loose.

The wave was caused by the newly crowned emperor, who claimed himself to be the Fuehrer of his people, assisted by everypony who already felt grudge towards other, immigrated races. At first, he and his followers, also known as members of the NSGPP, the National Socialist Germane Pony Party, were despised, but soon, through an equal amount of propaganda and terror, the tide was turned.

They learned his doctrines and adapted to them, which taught that the ponies are the only race that is truly sapient, and every not purely pony was just an animal, sometimes, just a tool, and that it was necessary to get rid off them to preserve the purity of soul and body of every pony.

The main targets were of course the Crystal Ponies. One day by another, their rights were subducted more and more, until they were treated as nothing more than Parasprites, if not worse.

The consensus intended to form a coup against the so-called Fuehrer, but in an attempt to convince him to stop his actions, he declared that Germaneny would no longer belong to the pathetic rest of the Old Lands. Not just that, but he warned them. If they would resist and not join him sooner or later, they would be considered 'disposable'.

Because of this act of separatism, the politics began to shatter. The Griffons were no longer bound to protect the borders, since most of them were between the Changeling-Kingdom and Germaneny, and because of that, the changelings recognized their opportunity and led an expansion to conquer Germaneny. But they were brought to a hold by an offer they could not refuse. Free supply of Crystal Pony love in exchange for containing themselves and keeping an eye on the Griffon Empire and the other pony nations.

In the meantime, the consensus begged the Primarch to assist the pony nations to stop the rampage in Germaneny, but he refused, since he had no reason to do so, though thoughts of annexing the country for himself would soon begin to flood his mind.

That was the reason why nopony interfered early. They did not known what was actually going on. Intelligence was scarce, and even then, unfathomable. They could not comprehend, what savage, unpony terror overwhelmed the nation, until it was far too late.

There was never a reason for all of this to happen. It simply did through blinding ideologies and disharmony. The ponies of that time were not the civilized, close to nature beings of harmony as they are now today. They were still rather primordial, if not primitive, though relatively close to technical standards common today.

Steam-engines, electric bulbs, even radio-communication-technology. The standard of living was absolutely desirable, but ponies wanted more. But the more somepony wants something, the darker its methods and reprehensible the result becomes. Enviousness was omnipresent, for no comprehensible reason. Narcissism simply lied in the nature of an individual in that time, impossible to understand in our time, but likely intelligible to all in that particular era.

But not all ponies in Germaneny were fueled with discord and displayed odium towards non-ponies or to be precise, non-members of the NSGPP, and tried to protect them, which lead them to be immediately branded as heretics and being considered 'disposable', as well.

Some of them, who did not believe in the doctrines of the so-called Nazis imposed on everypony, made use of their opportunities to become tycoons and made a mint, especially when the strains between Germaneny and the other ponies nations collapsed and the worst possible thing happened.

A war.

The first nation to be conquered by the Germanes was its direct neighbor, Foalland, which kicked off the events of a conflict that should soon involve the entire Old World. All ponies were greeted with open arms, but the Crystal Ponies were quickly transferred into ghettos, to gather them and think of a solution to get rid off them. One of these ideas was to impose compulsory labor on them, which was quickly approved.

One special, at the beginning very poor stallion recognized his chance in this situation, and soon, he made his way to Krakau, one of the major concentration points of Nazi-activity in Foalland and close to a soon to be completed factory for Crystal Ponies in Zafoalwice he wanted to become the director of.

With the intention of one stallion to pursue his dreams and set himself for life, the events for the most heroic deed in the history of ponykind were kicked off, as well as the most remarkable change in character for the good ponies have witnessed. Though impossible to proof, it is the legend about a sole pony bringing harmony in a world consumed by decadence

This pony was Oskar Schindler.
