The Holocaust In Schindler's List

From 1941 to 1945, Nazi Germany murdered 6 million Jews. They were treated and murdered as if they were pigs in a slaughterhouse. This dehumanization is credited as the Nazi party's justification for the horrors they committed. By viewing Jews as less than human, they rationalize treating them as less than human. Elie Wiesel's memoir Night recounts his experience as a Jew during the Holocaust of being treated as less than human.

Elle Franks 3/5/24 6th hour Schindler's List Did you know, only a little over a thousand Jews survived the Holocaust? Oscar Schindler was a German entrepreneur capitalizing on Germany’s occupation of Poland and cheap Jewish labor in Krakow. In the beginning, Schindler had no compassion for the Jews. Over time, Schindler evolved to caring for the Jews and keeping the ones he could help out of danger. In the fall of Poland in 1999 Jews were drastically stripped from their own homes.

many many innocent people died when schindler seen the little girl in the red coat being carried to be burned . something in his head clicked . he came to sense that the rest of the jews that were left needed to be saved . so he spent all his money on buying the jews to work for him . but this wasn't going to be a concentration camp … it wasn't like any of the other camps , it was more like a “ heavens ” to the jews in schindler's camp there was no killing ,no beating, jews could go to their sabbaths and were able to stay with their families if they were still alive .

2000 years of anti- Jewish teachings in Christianity made the acceptance of racial anti- Semitism possible. In 1935, the Nazis established laws which stripped Jews of German citizenship and took away their livelihood. From 1939, the Germans began deporting Jews to overcrowded ghettos and concentration camps. Over 6 years during the war, 6million Jews, including 1.5million children were murdered by Nazis. Hitler’s deliberate annihilation of the Jews resulted in the extermination of one third of the total Jewish population or two-thirds of the Jews in Europe. The Nazi Party used terror and propaganda to persuade people to believe Hitler had all the answers to all their

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

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”)

Schindler's List The film Schindler's list directed by Steven Spielberg based on Thomas Keneally's Schindler's Arks tells the story of an entrepreneur and womaniser Oscar Schindler. Schindler uses the war to his gain by exploiting cheap Jewish labour to run his factory with dreams of earning "steamer trunks" full of money who with the twist of fate ends up saving the lives of 1100 Jews by bribing the Nazi with all his assets during one of the darkest period of history, the Holocaust. Although the film is based on a true story, it does get pampered with some Hollywood treatment to highlight Schindler's hero

In the film, Schindler’s list, many film techniques were used to present important ideas of the film. There were many scenes that took place in the movie that stood out and was filled with film techniques. The liquidation of the ghetto was filled with important themes and ideas that were shown through various film techniques. The ending also presented various film techniques.

There were many groups of people, other than the Jews, that were victims of persecution and murdered by the Nazis. The groups affected by the Holocaust were the Jews, Gypsies, Poles and other Slavs, political dissidents and dissenting clergy, people with physical or mental disabilities, Jehovah’s witnesses, and homosexuals. According to A Teacher’s Guide to the Holocaust, There is evidence as early as 1919 that Hitler had a strong hatred of Jews. As Chancellor and later Reichsfuhrer, Hitler translated these intense feelings into a series of policies and statutes which progressively eroded the rights of German Jews from 1933-1939 (“Victims”).

The Holocaust was one of the most horrible and dreaded events in history. Millions of Jews were killed, leaving many families devastated and hopeless. With the goal of racial purity, Adolf Hitler- along with many other Germans believed the Jews caused the defeat of their country, and led the Nazis to the elimination of Jews. For this reason, “Even in the early 21st century, the legacy of the Holocaust endures…as many as 12,000 Jews were killed every day” (The Holocaust). Later, Hitler organized concentration camps, where mass transports of Jews from ghettoes were brought and typically killed also. However, the fortunate Jews that were not killed still had many restrictions on their

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 a movie based on the novel “Schindler’s Ark”. This movie showed a heroic man who saved over 1000 jews. His name was Oskar Schindler. At first, he was wasn’t affected that much by the Holocaust, but over time he grew sympathy and felt bad for Jews. He began to bring in Jews into his factory even if they weren’t up to work. He tried getting everyone that was available to “work” in his factory. He knew how to get his way, so he wanted a new factory built and he got it. He has a list typed out listing each Jew we wanted to work for him. This is exactly where the movie title came from if you couldn’t tell. Though he did save over 1000 Jews, he lost everything at the end. But it all seemed worth it to him. All he wanted to do is save everyone from this terrible war. My opinion on this movie is that it seemed to demonstrate things way better than a documentary would. It showed at least one good man that felt bad and it showed his side of the story. How hard he tried to save everyone with trying to be very secretive about it.

Schindler's List is one of the most powerful movies of all time. It presents the indelible true story of enigmatic German businessman Oskar Schindler who becomes an unlikely saviour of more than 1100 Jews amid the barbaric Nazi reign. A German Catholic war profiteer, Schindler moved to Krakow in 1939 when Germany overran Poland. There he opens an enamelware factory that, on the advice of his Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern, was staffed by Jews from the nearby forced labour camp at Plaszow. Schindler's factory prospered though his contacts with the Nazi war machine and its local representatives, as well as his deft skill on the black market. Then, somewhere along the way, Schindler's devotion to self-interest was

The Jewish Holocaust is often described as the largest, most gruesome holocaust in history. It began in 1933 with the rise of Adolf Hitler and lasted nearly twelve years until the Nazi Party were defeated by the Allied powers in 1945. The expression “Holocaust” originated from Greece which is translated to “sacrifice by fire”. This is a very proper name considering the slaughter and carnage of Jewish people inflicted by the Nazis. In addition to the Jewish, Gypsies, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexual, and physically and mentally disabled were targeted by the Nazis. Although the numbers are not exact, it is estimated that approximately eleven-million people were killed during the Holocaust. This includes about six-million Jews and one-million children. The persecution begins on April 1, 1933 when Nazis initiated the first action against Jews. It began with a boycott of all Jewish businesses and only became more extreme as time went on. In September of 1935 Jews were excluded from public life and stripped of citizenship and marriage rights. This was an unprecedented action that was enforced by the German government through the Nuremberg Laws. Several other anti-Jewish laws were established during the buildup of World War II. During these dismal years, countless Jews were sent to “camps”. These “camps” ranged from concentration camps, extermination camps, labor camps, to prisoner of war camps. Nevertheless, all of these camps treated Jews inhumanly. Dachau, Germany was the home of

“During World War Two, some camps such as Auschwitz, were centers for the systematic extermination of Jews, Gypsies, and Soviet Prisoners of war” (“Concentration camps”). Hitler and the German Nazi’s were highly opposed to people that were “abnormal”, or different from them, and felt the need to exterminate those people for being themselves. The Holocaust was the plan by the Nazis for utter destruction of Jewish people. The amount of innocent civilians executed was close to an astounding 6 million over the course of World War Two (“Holocaust”). The Holocaust was the exact opposite of peaceful, it was brutal and cruel. When World War Two finally came to an end, there was only about 200,000 surviving Jewish people that emerged out of Nazi Camps into freedom.
