'Schindler's List'

Paper Summary:

This paper reviews and discusses Steven Spielberg's film, 'Schindler's List'. The paper reports that 'Schindler's List' is based on the actual life story of a German businessman, Oskar Schindler, who saved over 1000 Polish Jews from the Nazis by putting them to work in a factory he owned that made war materials for the Third Reich.

From the Paper:

" Ultimately, Oskar Schindler, whose compassion for his Jewish workers continually evolves throughout the film, loses the entire fortune that he has amassed during the war in bribing the Nazis, again and again, to leave his Jewish workers alone. At the end of the war, though, Schindler still will face arrest by the fast-approaching Soviet Army of wartime profiteering, so he is forced to flee his factory as the Russian Army approaches his factory in Moravia. His workers give him a letter to carry with him testifying to his good deeds and how he has saved them all from death. The next morning, when the factory itself is liberated by the Russian Army, Schindler himself is already long gone. "
