I. Introduction. Schindler’S List Begins In Kraków, Poland

In the movie Schindler's List, the story of the Holocaust is told from a dual point of view; that of the Jewish people who are downtrodden,

To begin, Oskar Schindler was an interesting man, but let me tell you about his life first. According to Oskar Schindler wikipedia Oskar was born on “April 4, 1916 and died October 9, 1979” Oskar was a husband and a father of two children (“Oskar Schindler”). Oskar lived in Krakow, Poland (“Oskar Schindler”). He was a big businessman and owned two warehouses. Later those warehouses became home to about 1200 jews (“Oskar Schindler Legacy”).

“I took no poetic license with ‘Schindler’s List’ because that was historical, factual documents” - Steven Spielberg. Schindler’s List, directed by Steven Spielberg, is a historically accurate portrayal of the actions carried out by Nazi businessman Oskar Schindler, who doesn't hesitate to exploit Jewish slave labour in his factory. As World War II progresses, and the motives of the Nazi party become clear, Oskar’s incentives switch from that of a profiteer to that of a saviour. Oskar is able to save a number of Jews from certain death through gassing and labour camps. In the final scene of Schindler’s List, Spielberg’s clever use of colour, mise en scene and text creates a compelling closing scene that helped to convey the horrors of the

Oskar Schindler was not one to pass up an opportunity to make some money. He marched into Poland with the SS and dove head first into the black market. He soon began to make friends with the Gestapo, the secret state police, by softening them up with women, money and alcohol. His newfound connections helped him to acquire a factory, which he ran with the cheapest labor around, Jews. At first, it seemed like he was another German money-driven industrialist but somewhere along the way something changed.

     I think the director did a great job in filming this movie. He didn’t take any credit for his achievement but I believe he honored and remembered the victims of the holocaust. One of the most important lines of this film that really impacted me was “who will be our next executioners?” The reason why I loved this line is because we make little things so trivial and we take everything for granted. Our liberties are a blessing and yet people don’t seem to realize this. I believe that only when we are faced with a natural catastrophe that will put humanity’s survival at risk and we lose everything that will be the day that we will have gained all.

Businessman Oskar Schindler arrives in Krakow, Poland in 1939, to claim his fortune in World War II, which has just begun. After aligning with the Nazi party, he employs Jewish workers to work in his factory, but only for practical reasons. When the Schutzstaffel or infamously known as SS, a paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler, begins slaughtering Jews in the Krakow ghetto, Schindler allows for his factory to still be in operation, therefore, becomes the essential part that he is also saving innocent lives.

Although Schindler was a member of the Nazi party, he understood the fact that the actions of the Nazis were wrong and deserved immediate abolishment. Schindler managed to restore the Jewish people’s faith in humanity by employing them in his factories. Schindler’s factories produced goods necessary for the war efforts of World War II. Since the Jews worked in Schindler’s factories, they could not face persecution or transportation to concentration camps. The Jews could not face execution due to the fact that they were necessary war efforts. This greatly affected the Nazi Party, and their proposal to annihilate all Jewish people was

Instead of transferring these people to camps Schindler gave Jews the ability to work at the factory. As a man and a leader Schindler stepped up his game he knew he had to make an impact towards the terrorism too much murder got Schindler worried he felt like he was losing his people in a way where money and resources can be involved. If it wasn’t for Schindler, approximately

The movie Schindler’s List, is set in Nazi Germany and follows the journey of a group of Jews. Initially being used as cheap labor by the shrewd businessman Oskar Schindler, the Jews are later taken to concentration camps. At these camps the Jews face dire situations. Not only are they provided with barely enough food and water to survive on, but they live with a constant fear of death. One day, Schindler notices the condition of the Jews and sympathizes with them.

As the war started, Oskar Schindler wants to secure lucrative war contracts, so he send drinks and expensive food to the larger table of Nazi people and took picture with them to show that they are friends. Then he went to a Jewish council, and went straight to the desk of where Stren sat and asked for a investor, but he refused. Although Schindler got money and hired Jew Stern work for him, the only reason he is hiring Jew is that they are cheap, but he doesn't know till later that Stern is using the power to save the Jewish people from the camp. When Plaszów is completed, the Jews are evacuated from the ghetto and sent to the camp. From a hill high above the ghetto, Schindler and his girlfriend watch the destruction.

In the film Schindler's List, based on a true story on the events that occurred during the Holocaust. A businessman at heart and a playboy for women, Oskar Schindler is the main focus of the film. Schindler journey begins when the War began. While trying to take advantage of a business opportunity to acquire “free labor” for his business. Schindler being a member of the Natzi party he was allowed to acquire jews for labor.

Watching Schindler's list I decided to focus on Oskar Schindler. Throughout the movie Schindler personal emotions change on the war. In the beginning we see that it was a good thing for business that nothing else mattered as long as he made money. When Jews would come up he wouldn't care about them because he knew he could manipulate them and earn more money since they needed him. Schindler didn't really care for the Jews and what would happen to them. We see that Schindler only concern is that his business profits in the war. His concern for going to parties were to make connection that would better his money earning business. Money was his only concern which is why he went out seeking a jew. Since having a jew made it so they could be payed less than a normal person and they would be to scared to not do work. If he got a Jew it would earn him more money than hiring a German accountant. After getting an accountant he goes and seek workers for his factory. The workers are Jews since they don't need to be payed to be working. We later learn that his wife influences him with making business and wanting to succeed. He came from a place where he had nothing and is just beginning to make it. Hes making so much money he doesn't know what to do and he thanks the war for that. With his business doing so well he starts to care about his workers. He cares about them because he needs them to continue making the money.He starts really caring about his accountant Stern he makes sure he

His right hand man, Itzsak Stern (a Jew) works as accountant for Schindler. Stern realizes that Jews who work cannot be killed, so in an attempt to save as many people as possible he starts employing unnecessary workers. Schindler soon becomes aware of what’s happening and is angry as his factory is considered a ‘safe haven’.

At first, Schindler does not care about his Jewish laborers, as long as he can get them at a cheap price and he earns money. As the movie goes on, he starts to care and tries to save every single one of his laborers even if he has to spend all his money to achieve it. During the holocaust, the Nazi’s discrimination on Jews was to the extent that they wanted to kill all of the Jews! You might think Schindler has a cold heart at the beginning, but Nazi’s brutality is going to take away his dark side and bring up his humanity. When Nazis started to massacre Jewish people and send them to the gas chamber, Schindler spends all his money to buy Jewish laborers from the Nazis and creates a list of over 1,100 Jews to be his workers. He saved all the Jews on that list, which they called Schindler’s list. At the end, Germany loses the war and the Jewish people are finally free. Ironically, Jewish people see Schindler as a hero, even though he became a criminal for illegally using Jews as
