I. Introduction. Schindler’S List Begins In Kraków, Poland

I. Introduction Schindler’s List begins in Krakà ³w, Poland during World War II. At this time, the Nazi Party was trying to cleanse the world of â€Å"impure† people including Jews and rounded up all of the Jewish to make them work. In the movie, Oskar Schindler used Jews from the Krakà ³w ghetto to staff his factory instead of sending them to concentration camps. At first, he uses them only to make money, using bribery in order to get workers. Eventually, he realizes he is saving them from harsh treatment elsewhere and continues to make sure they don’t get sent to Plaszà ³w.

He did all he could possibly do and still didn’t think it was enough. During one scene in the movie, a young Nazi boy finds a girl he knows and her mother. He tells them to come with him and he’ll put them in the ‘good’ line. Even though he had to follow orders, he still tried to help them. Sometimes it only takes one person to change another’s life for the better. III. Importance of the Film Schindler’s List is based on the true story of Oskar Schindler.
