Based on a true story, SCHINDLER'S LIST is Steven Spielberg's epic drama of World War II Holocaust survivors and the man who unexpectedly came to be their saviour. Unrepentant womaniser and war profiteer Oskar Schindler uses Polish Jews as cheap labour to produce cookware for the Third Reich. But after witnessing the violent liquidation of the walled ghetto where the Krakow Jews have been forced to live, Schindler slowly begins to realise the immense evil of Nazism. When his own employees are sent to a work camp, they come under the terrorising reign of sadistic Nazi Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes). With the help of his accountant, Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley), Schindler creates a list of "essential" Jews. Bribing Goeth, Schindler manages to get 1,100 people released from the camp and brought to the safety of his munitions factory in Czechoslovakia.
The movie "Schindler's List" takes place back during WWII in Poland, with a German who was part of the Nazi party. This man went from being in the war to being a savior for the Jews.
Oskar Schindler, uses the slave labor during the war to get a lot of money. He is seen in this movie as a semi-hero who also had flaws of womanizing, greed, alcoholism, and personal dominate. He was looked at the person who was in the war to make only money to get rich and the thought of having Jews and Nazi's would be in his way for success. However, he risks his life in the movie to save the Jewish people. With this being said his change within the film to help the Jews was remarkable. He gave up his wealth and to play the Nazi's for his own benefit. He wanted to help the Jews from the Nazi anti-Semitism and harsh cruelty. In the end he saves over 1000 Jews.
This movie relates to the actual Holocaust on modern Jews and also affects those who are not Jewish. The Holocaust was a very sad and detrimental part of history. This movie also displayed the human cruelty of the Nazi camps where Jews were used as targets for example, the lives of twenty or plus people would be taken for one man's actions. That was said to see during this movie what the Jewish people had to go through during the Holocaust. This event in human history during the 20th century of Europe was a horrible time.
