Oskar Schindler : Save The Group Of Jewish People

The movie –Schindler’s List– is based off the true story of the saving of 1,200 Jews by Oskar Schindler. In the beginning of the movie, Schindler employed Jews from the Kraków Ghetto to work in his newly established enamelware factory in Poland. Spielberg portrays Schindler as “simply another Nazi who regards the killing of Jewish slaves as a senseless business practice. Although he is seen

Oskar Schindler’s identity drastically changes from the beginning to the end of the movie. At first, Schindler was a greedy, selfish, and rich man, who was a member of the Nazi party and profited from the war. He also was a womanizer who constantly cheated on his wife. He only cared about making money and he only hired Jewish workers because they were cheaper. He saved his workers initially because he did not want to pay to train other workers and protected them since he believed that their welfare impacted his business. He saw Jewish people differently than other Germans, he saw them as workers, and he inadvertently developed a reputation for kindness. He did not do this at first to be a

Thus, it can be concluded that in the beginning of the movie Schindler does not fully grasp the tragedy at hand, and consequently does nothing attempt to aid the Jews. Schindler's realizations of the horrors of the holocaust begin in one scene near the middle of the film. During this infamous turning point of the movie, Schindler, on top of a barren hill, traces the path of a young and helpless Jewish girl who wanders haphazardly through the streets of a devastated camp. Her lone image personalizes the slaughter. Schindler tries to track her progress as she invisibly makes her way, aimless and alone, past the madness and chaos in the street - a woman is machine-gunned behind her. He loses sight of the small figure as she walks behind a building, but then he glimpses her again, walking by a file of Jews being herded down a sidewalk. During the roundup, a German soldier fires at a single-file lineup of men, killing five with one bullet. Distressed and stricken by the nightmare below and the plight of the little girl in red, Schindler sees her entering one of the empty apartment buildings. There, she climbs the stairs and crawls under a bed for cover in a ransacked room. Her safety is only temporary, for later she will be hunted down and cold-heartedly murdered, forgotten to the world, destroyed by her own people.

Oskar Schindler grew up in a prosperous Catholic family with all the privileges money could buy. He grew up to be a German industrialist, spy, and a member of the Nazi Party, who outwitted Hitler and the Nazis to save more Jews than any other from the deathly events of World War॥. With the help of his wife, Emilie Schindler, Oskar Schindler saved the lives of 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his ammunition and enamelware factories, spending millions bribing the SS, and eventually risking his life to rescue the Schindler-Jews (“The Oscar Schindler Story”)

To think that this self centred man would become known for a shining moment of salvation for so many is almost beyond belief. Oskar Schindler is not a humanitarian or a force for ?good? in the typical sense. He is depicted within the film as a man that simply found himself in a unique position and rose to the occasion. Evil on the other hand, is epitomised throughout the film by the actions of those involved in the Nazi regime, in particular Amon Goeth who was in charge of the forced labour camp at Plaszow.

He made sure that they were able to keep their lives. He did this by preventing those people from being shipped to concentration camps or killed on sight. Proof that Schindler took care of his workers is that after the war ended, some of his “Schindlerjuden” took care of him and “honored him” (JewishVirtualLibrary.org). If Schindler had shown them cruelty why would some of them make sure that he was taken care of? These people did not care that he had been a drunk, or that he dishonored his marriage vows. All they saw was a man who had taken a risk to save their lives. To many, there was no way they could repay him for his actions. That is why they honored him as they did and took care of him. They do not know why Schindler decided to save them, but all that matters is that he did.

The period of the Holocaust was a terrible time. It took place from 1939 to 1945. When Hitler came into power he killed many people, most of which were Jews. Many people and countries stood by and did nothing while the Holocaust was occurring, but Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Per Anger, and Oskar Schindler risked their lives to stand up for the Jewish people and what was right.

In the beginning of the film, Oskar Schindler is a man who is intrigued by anyway to make money. In the past, he has mostly been a failed businessman who is extremely persistent and will stop at nothing to become a profiteer. Schindler however, has an idea, unlike any idea he has ever had in the past. In the beginning of the film, he bribes and communicates with many German officials just as the war is beginning so he can gain access to jews and their free labor. He is an exceptionally greedy man who will abuse his power and social status to make money even if it’s through the blood, sweat, and tears of other individuals. At the beginning of the film, Schindler proclaims, “In every business I tried, I can see now, it wasn't me that failed. Something was missing.” He expresses that the reason for his success in his newly found business can be credited to war. This quote clearly indicates his extreme desire for wealth. However, over time he begins to adjust and modify his behaviors as a result of his friendship with a Jewish man named Itzhak Stern, who also is a manager of his business. As time goes on he begins to protect his workers and save them from concentration camps proclaiming that they are “essential workers” for the war effort. Schindler has now begun to understand that jews

Oskar Schindler was a hero in World War II. He endured many conflicts. The main battle he faced was during World War II. During World War II, Oskar Schindler was a German businessman who saved Jews in Poland and Czechoslovakia from death by employing them in his factory (“Oskar Schindler” 362).

With the question being why Schindler saved the jews he developed his ways and that's why he did it. At first it was for money then it changed into a safe haven for the jews and he was saving them just because they were people. With Schindler changing his ways and trying to save the jews and saving the eleven hundred to twelve hundred jews Oscar Schindler was the only man as a christian that was able to be buried in a jewish graveyard for what he did for them. They appreciated him and look up to him still today and put stones on his grave to honor what he did and what he risked to save

Oskar Schindler wanted to save as many people as he could and to do that he was willing to do anything. " He spent every bit of money he had left in his possession and traded his wife's jewelry." ( Steinhouse 9) When he had made enough he furnished a secret hospital for the Jews. This shows how dedicated he was to saving people and how important it was to him. Another reason he was willing to do anything was that he knew, what was going to happen to them if he didn't step in and help. To keep the SS away his "employees records were falsified. Old people were recorded as being twenty years younger, children were listed as adults. Lawyers, doctors, and engineers were registered as metal workers." (Steinhouse 4) This example tells you how much he cared about keeping these people safe. Lastly, he took so many risks to help them but through it all he had to have hope. Cause if he didn’t all his workers wouldn't have any either. "Perhaps I had become fatalistic, or perhaps I was just afraid of the danger that would come once the men began to lose hope and acted rashly. I had to keep them full of optimism." (Stienhouse 10) When Schindler said that, he showed the world how selfless he was. He never once thought about himself, it was always about those who were worse off. Oskar Schindler helped many people in many different way, he never let anything stop

He saved over one thousand Jewish people from going to labor or death camps. He risked his life for people he has never even met. Schindler received word that a train of evacuated Jews from Golezow camp was stranded in the nearby city of Svitavy. As he has done twice before, Schindler pulled some strings at the top and got permission from German officials to take his workers to the nearby station to rescue the stranded. Once at the station, they forced the doors open to the rail car and saved about one hundred half frozen Jews and did their best to nurse the ill back to health, and those who did not survive received a proper Jewish burial.

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

[War] brings out the worst in people. Never the good, always the bad. Even in the midst the devastation of a national genocide, where one race turned against another in hate, good people existed and worked to counteract the hate through love and compassion. Oskar Schindler was one of these people. World War II provided him the means to become a very wealthy and powerful man, yet he did not exploit the Jews like many other businessmen during his time. He used his money and power to save thousands. Much can be learned from what happened during the holocaust and what Schindler did to save thousands of Jews.

In Schindler’s List Sterns admiration is not revealed to the audience until deep within the films plot. Soon Schindler and Stern are on their way to the creation of a factory that would completely run on Jewish labour. Soon after this “safe haven” for the Jewish people is created, the prosecution of the Jewish people of Poland begins, with their forced re-location in the ghettoes. Earlier in the Novel Oskar Schindler is seen as: Within the novel Schindler’s Ark the epilogue is dedicated to Oskar Schindler’s life and what had happened to him after the Nazi Campaign.
