When Schmahling said that he destroyed something in himself when he crushed that boy in his classroom, he must have regretted it really badly. When he didn't let the boy speak, he felt a really strong connection with what the Nazis were doing at that time with the Jews, since they didn't have the right to speak up for themselves, and I guess this is why he stopped his rude behavior and changed completely. He didn't want to be seen as a mean and grumpy person. This is why he spent the rest of his life helping people (Jews) because he knew what they were doing to them was nowhere near fair.
I think you need to work on your grammar at the beginning. You could also be a bit more descriptive and specific. Was it just that one time that made him start supporting the jews or did it build up? Did he have anyone supporting him? Overall it was pretty good though. I liked how I could almost see your own style of writing and personality in it!
