The 66th Oscar For Best Film

He also wrote the memoir to help people see that Oscar Schindler was a hero for the Jews and that he saved so many lives, including the lives of Leon and his family. They, without a doubt, would not be here today without Schindler’s help, and the author didn’t want people to think of Schindler as a bad guy just because he was a Nazi. The tone that the author uses throughout the memoir is one of pain and suffering, but also gratefulness in spite of all of the torture. He looks back on his experience, and believes that he is lucky because he and his family survived when millions of others weren’t so lucky. This is very admirable because if most people had gone through this, they would feel nothing but self-pity. This memoir was a fantastic read, that gives readers great insight into the world of the Holocaust, and it vividly describes the pain that the Jewish people went through for years. The book gives readers a new appreciation for

Imagine you're in a concentration camp and you know your life is going to end, but then you see hope. In this essay I will be telling you about Oskar Schindler; Oskar was a wonderful man that did everything for his jew’s out of the kindness of his heart, and he saved 1200 jews from being murdered in concentration camps. Schindler did a lot of amazing things in his life, but these are just a few things he did.

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”)

However, emotion is not only conveyed through the actions of the main characters. Colour also has a significant impact on how good and evil is portrayed within the film. Perhaps the most moving image in Steven Spielberg?s epic, Schindler?s List, condenses all of the sadism of the Nazi regime into one small pictorial area. One of only four colour images in a black and white film spanning over three hours, the little girl in a red coat, making her way, aimless and alone through the madness and chaos, compels Schindler?s attention during the liquidation of the Jewish ghetto. Schindler identifies with the child, the plight of the little girl touches him in a way the sheer numbers make unreal ? this image transforms the faceless mass around him into one palpable human being. This figure serves as a moral reawakening for Schindler, his conscience consequently kicks into gear. The poignant yet subtle musical score also adds to the haunting atmosphere created by the

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

The horrors of the Holocaust period have been portrayed in many movies, books, and other works throughout history. The period of the Holocaust presents readers and viewers with themes such as survival and hope in hardships faced by prisoners to reach life after the harsh conditions they lived through in concentration camps. In the face of overwhelming evil, the film Schindler’s List, directed by Steven Spielberg, tells the story of the Nazi party and their power over the Jews. This film is based on the novel Schindler’s Ark by Thomas Keneally, an Australian novelist, who exhibits the unbroken spirits and will of survival from the Jews and other minority groups that were imprisoned. In the film,

Schindler sets the great example of standing out from the crowd even though he was a member of the Nazi party. It was through his great courage and determination that he saved thousands of lives. In October of 1939 Oscar bought a Jewish-owned enamelware manufacturer known as Emalia...At its peak strength in 1944, Emalia employed 1,700 workers; at least 1,000 were Jewish forced laborers, whom the Germans had relocated from the Krakow ghetto... Although the prisoners deployed at Emalia were still subject to the brutal conditions of the Plaszow concentration camp, Schindler intervened repeatedly on their behalf, through bribes and personal diplomacy, so that the SS did not deport his Jewish workers… Schindler did not act here without risk or cost; his protection of his Jewish workers and some of his shady business dealings led SS and police authorities to suspect him of corruption and of giving unauthorized aid to Jews. German SS and police officials arrested him three times, while he owned Emalia, but were unable to charge him (Crowe). Even though Oskar was associated with the nazi party, he chose not to participate in their demoralizing activity. Schindler went against the social standard of the anti-semitic beliefs and laws. Because he did not conform to society's beliefs, he was able to save many Jewish lives, despite the life threatening consequences that could have

Oskar Schindler would never have been anyone’s ideal savior, especially for the Jewish community. He was an open member of the Nazi party, a womanizer, a gambler, an alcoholic, and was extremely money hungry, but was successfully able to rescue and save from death over twelve hundred Jewish men and women. Schindler was born on April 28th, 1908 in Zwittua, Czechoslavakia. He was born Catholic and into a wealthy family, but started early on a life of sin. In 1930 he moved to Poland in hopes of becoming a success in business. As the Holocaust was just in its’ beginnings, he was able to get his hands on an enamel wear factory on Lapowa Street in in Krakow. This was one of the factories that used to owned and ran by a Jewish

“I was now resolved to do everything in my power to defeat the system” -Oskar Schindler. With is enrolment in the nazi party, Schindler managed to get a hold on over 1,200 Jews to make them work in his factory making bullet shells, plates, pots, pans, silverware, and so on so he could save them from the outrage of Adolf Hitler. Before he decided to use Jews for “cheap labor”, he was not up to par, he did things such as abusing alcohol and cheating on his wife, but he saved himself from that kind of lifestyle and decided to help people. After World War II people heard about the heroic thing that he did, and they thought of it as setting an example for the world. Oskar Schindler saved over one thousand peoples lives by keeping them in his factory

Schindler’s List, by Thomas Keneally, is among the most significant literary works covering the Holocaust. The novel is a biography of Oskar Schindler (1908–74). Keneally strived to preserve the authenticity of the people and events of his novel, attempting to avoid fiction at all costs, however surly specific dialogues were reimagined using reasonable constructs of detailed recollections of people who experienced these events first hand. The story follows the Czechoslovakian businessman as he rescues Jews from the German ruling Nazi party during WW2. Although originally a member of the German the Nazi party, Schindler had many Jewish acquaintances as well as business associates. Horrified when he learns of the Nazi plans of eradicating Jews from Europe in entirety, Schindler dedicates himself to saving anyone he could. Schindler went about this through hiring Jewish workers for his privately owned factory in Poland. He utilizes bribes as well as his friends in high places within the German political scene to ensure his workers safety. Ultimately, towards the conclusion of the war Schindler was responsible for saving many lives that were destined to end if it wasn’t for his intervention. After WW2 Schindler continued to be honored by the European Jewish community, as well as the Jewish communities around the world, and after his death he was buried in Jerusalem as a reminder of his actions.

[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.

John Williams composition of the official theme song for the soundtrack of the movie “Schindler’s List” is a powerful classical music that would drown you into a world of despair. It is very beautiful and authentic yet utterly dreadful and haunting. The mood that the song sets embodies all ethereal aspects of emotions that anyone can probably think of. This is the type of track that makes you want to simply listen no matter what you are doing. Listening to the song composition takes you in to a whole new dimension. It grows fear, sadness, despair, anger, and the urge to just cry as it unmistakably sets a very gloomy and dark frame of mind which arouses all the despondencies that you want to poor out in desolation. It is basically a bravura combination of different feelings that touches the soul.
