Oskar Schindler's Death Camps During The Holocaust

The films “Schindler’s List” and “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” are both set in the Holocaust. Schindler was a man of great wealth, and was also a German. He was an executive, and like most businesspersons, he wanted to make more money. Therefore, he implored the help of someone to run the numbers, and keep track of his money. The man that he hired was a Jew by the name of Itzhak Stern. Schindler hired this man because

In December 1939, as the German-occupied Poland was being torn up by the events of the Holocaust, Schindler took his first steps in becoming a Holocaust hero. “If you saw a dog going to be crushed under a car,” he said later of his wartime actions, “wouldn't you help him?”(“Oskar Schindler,” Jewish Virtual Library).

To get rid of the bodies the staff killed in the gas chambers, the Nazis used crematories to burn them (The Holocaust). At the Dachau concentration camp, the Nazis stuffed twenty-eight railway cars with dead bodies to limit the amount of evidence the Allies could use against them in court. In the country of Romania, the citizens killed the Jewish people themselves. The Jewish people were desperate for help. They had few resources, few allies, impossible choices, and few people came to their rescue. In Denmark, Jews were protected by the Danish and sent to Sweden for more protection. People like Oskar Schindler came to the Jews aid. Oskar protected his Jewish employees, by providing places to hide, food, and shelter. The Allies made no military

“Documentary filmmaker Claude Lanzmann has accused Steven Spielberg’s film Schindler’s List of trivializing the holocaust by attempting to represent what cannot be represented. Philosopher Richard Kearney defends Schindler’s List in his essay, “Narrative and the Ethics of Remembrance,” arguing that narrative representation is essential to cultural identity.” From Claude Lanzmann’s perspective, I believe that he perceives that issue to be Schindler's List is that it contains a lot of dangerous scenes that are left open to more than one interpretation. In the film Schindler’s List, shows Jewish police knocking on doors conducting a hostile raid for purposes of conquest, plunder, and capture of Jewish people.

Spielberg’s purpose when creating Schindler’s List was to show how we can find empathy for people of other cultures. If we are empathetic towards others, we won’t segregate ourselves from one another, and there wouldn’t be unnecessary violence. Spielberg showed us this with the characterization of Schindler. Schindler is a Nazi and a war profiteer. Schindler hires Jews to work in his enamelware factory

Six million Jewish residents of Eastern Europe were exterminated during the Holocaust of the 1940’s. Families were taken out of their homes and put into ghettos, which were large prison type establishments that housed dozens of people in one small apartment. They were then separated from their families, "men to the left and women to the right", and were placed in concentration camps, where most of them were killed and cremated. In 1993, Steven Spielberg directed a film, Schindler’s List, which depicted the life of one man who risked his life and money to save the few Jewish families he could.

Schindler’s List was undoubtedly one of the most eye-opening Holocaust movies that I have ever seen. In this movie, we are truly shown just how terrible life was for the Jewish people living in Europe during World War II. Although living was a struggle for these people, from Schindler’s List I saw how the Jewish people’s hope could not be destroyed, and that there is always good in the face of evil. The Jewish people in Nazi Germany were treated more or less like worthless pieces of garbage.

Steven Spielberg is well known for creating absolute masterpieces, and 'Schindler's List' is no exception. Throughout the film we are presented with characters, such as Oskar Schindler, that we get to witness grow as they are forced to live with the decisions they make. 'Schindler’s List’ takes us through the Holocaust; we see heartbreak, murder and we witness a single man become a hero to generations.

By Spielberg shooting in black and white on many of the actual locations of the events in history (including Schindler's original factory and even the gates of Auschwitz), Spielberg shows import aspects of the movie to help understand were Schindler went from victimizer to humanitarian. Schindler bribes, he wheedles to get what he wants and needs, he bluffs to protect himself and his Jews, he escapes discovery by the skin of his teeth all done by pure impulsiveness and no strategy.

The Movie “Schindler's List” is touching on so many levels. It addresses the holocaust in a whole new way. We hear about the holocaust as if it was just something that happened, something that doesn’t really seem to be worth your time to learn about. But when you see that these are people who were as normal as you and me, men and women who had dreams and aspirations, and then think, what if that was me? It brings these events home to you. The movie shows the viewer how horrible and disrespectful these barbaric people acted toward completely innocent people and how they had no regard for anything these people's worked for or what they stand for. At the very end it shows everyone of the still living Jews Schindler saved which makes any of the viewers really feel the total enormity of the holocaust and that these people were just normal people, people who were not simply just faceless or somehow different but very

The Auschwitz concentration camp complex was the largest of its kind established by the Nazi regime. It included three main camps. All three camps used prisoners for forced labor. One of them also functioned for an extended period as a killing center. The camps were located approximately 37 miles west of Krakow. They were near the prewar German-Polish border in Upper Silesia, an area that Nazi Germany annexed in 1939 after invading and conquering Poland.

The movie "The Schindler's List" is a very in dept and realistic movie. The movies shows the gruesome and terrible things that the Germans did to the Jews. The Jews were treated this way because they were smart and very successful, unlike the Germans. The Germans were very jealous of them and that is what caused them to treat them in this horrible fashion.

As shown in “Schindler’s List”, Oskar Schindler was a Nazi who ran a factory during the time of the Holocaust. At the beginning of the war, Schindler was very selfish and only cared about making money, even if it meant having a Jewish accountant. Everyone loved Schindler; he was young, wealthy and handsome. He quickly gained popularity among Nazi officials by hanging out in bars and offering them cigars from the black market. No one expected this radical Nazi to have a change in heart, but after having an overview of the carnage caused by the Nazis, Schindler quickly changed his views. Oskar Schindler became a hero over the course of his life because he rescued Jews from being killed, he made nonfunctional weapons to sell to the Nazis, and the compassion he showed to the Jews.

On the 30th of January 1933 a genocide called the Holocaust started, where people who weren’t considered the perfect male or female were sent to concentration camps where they were made to work hard and very little fed. They were also tortured, experimented on and killed.

When thinking about history, citizens prefer to recall pleasant events that have occurred. Unfortunately, throughout history there have been really dark and malicious things that have happened. The Holocaust is one of the most horrifying and shameful events that happened throughout history. This event in time is a disturbing memory that many try to forget. Concentration camps, a vision of anguish and terror, displayed gut-wrenching views of harrowing events that cause an interrogation of humans and demonstrated how heartless humans can be.
