Change In Schindler's List

Soon after the war began Schindler completely abandoned his selfish desires of gaining wealth and power and started building factories in Poland so he can start employing Jewish workers, which saved them from being killed. Though from doing this started to get the SS's attention and eventually led him to being arrested twice. Even from all these obstacles, Schindler still did not give up and kept all his factories running and kept them as a haven for the Jews. Schindler managed to remain on excellent terms with German officials through expensive gifts and bribery. On the other hand Schindler stood out and bravely defied his German allies for something he strongly believed was right. In 1941 German-occupied Poland was a country bursting with racism and hatred against Jews. The

Schindler's List Essay The film “Schindler's List”, has many historical occurrences that occur in the film. Not only is the film very historically accurate, but it is a film in which is great to learn how the history of World War II was generally started. Some events that occurred in the film was putting Jews to work in factories, putting Jews in “ghettos”, and putting Jews in concentration camps. These events are a huge part of history and a huge part of what would eventually happen in history.

The “Schindlerjuden” were always treated humanely. They were a;ways fed, never beaten, and none were ever killed. He told the officers that the skills his workers possessed were “essential” to the factory and were necessary to keep it running. Although Schindler was considered a war hero, after the war he had difficulty keeping a good business and was not exactly held in high favor among certain people. In 1949, after the war, he, his wife Emilie, and his mistress moved to Argentina. While staying in Argentina, he attempted to keep a nutria farm and also opened a cement factory in Germany. In order to run a successful factory or farm, he needed free labor which he lacked and therefore both businesses were a failure. After those failed attempts, he decided to go into film and became a film producer. That effort also ended in failure. In 1958, Schindler left noth his wife and mistress and moved back to Germany. He then called upon his “Schindlerjuden” to help him in his period of financial distress. They sent him money and support. In the early 1960’s, he took a break from his poverty and visited Israel. All the survivors and their families welcomed him with warmness, love, and gratitude. After this visit, he continually made one six-week visit to Israel every year, which was fully paid for by his “Schindlerjuden”. Many of Oskar Schindler’s efforts were not appreciated until he was deceased. In praise, many

He has to act like he is on the Nazi’s side for almost the whole movie, then at the last second, he saves around twelve hundred Jews from death in the Holocaust. He even has all of the Jews in one room where all the people with guns come in and are going to kill everyone, and stops them. “Sure, you can kill them, they are all right here, but why do you not leave and go home to your families as men, and not murderers?” This is the point when the Jews start to trust him, and they see that he is on their side and that he has changed. Schindler knows that he will probably be murdered if he goes through with his plan of saving the Jews, but the power of one is evident in this part of the movie, because he saves twelve hundred Jews instead of himself.

After his death, Schindler was mourned across four continents (Bülow,Louis). In 1993, the movie Schindler’s List was filmed in his honor (Bülow,Louis). People were so encouraged by him, they made this movie to memorialize him and the Jews who were not able to be rescued. His story became so popular with people not only for the lives he saved but also for his flaws; they made him a very relatable person. Louis Bülow wrote, “No matter why, no matter that he was an alcoholic and a shameless womanisor of the worst sort what matters to the Schindler-Jews is that he surfaced from the chaos of madness and risked everything for them.To more than 1200 Jews Schindler was all that stood between them and death at the hands of the Nazis” (Bülow,Louis). This is basically saying that even though he may have done some bad things his compassion for the Jews will always be honored. His story impacted the lives of so many all over the world, and he will always be remembered for what he has

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

Watching Schindler's list I decided to focus on Oskar Schindler. Throughout the movie Schindler personal emotions change on the war. In the beginning we see that it was a good thing for business that nothing else mattered as long as he made money. When Jews would come up he wouldn't care about them because he knew he could manipulate them and earn more money since they needed him. Schindler didn't really care for the Jews and what would happen to them. We see that Schindler only concern is that his business profits in the war. His concern for going to parties were to make connection that would better his money earning business. Money was his only concern which is why he went out seeking a jew. Since having a jew made it so they could be payed less than a normal person and they would be to scared to not do work. If he got a Jew it would earn him more money than hiring a German accountant. After getting an accountant he goes and seek workers for his factory. The workers are Jews since they don't need to be payed to be working. We later learn that his wife influences him with making business and wanting to succeed. He came from a place where he had nothing and is just beginning to make it. Hes making so much money he doesn't know what to do and he thanks the war for that. With his business doing so well he starts to care about his workers. He cares about them because he needs them to continue making the money.He starts really caring about his accountant Stern he makes sure he

In my opinion, the most noticeable event that “flip the switch” of Schindler’s views against Jews is during the scene of the little girl in red coat. Schindler notices the chaos that the Nazi soldiers conducted. He sees the frightened little girl attempting to hide on any of the apartment during the forced relocation. The red color coat shown in a black and white film is definitely Spielberg’s intention to have her noticed.

When he knew that Germany was losing the war he made sure that the Jewish workers that were working for him at the time were moved to his factory to the what is known today as the Czech Republic to make sure that none of his Jews were killed. The movie relates many chapters thought out the movie such as when Schindler was worried about the Jews packed into the cattle cars and he went and got a firehose and sprayed

As a businessman, Schindler maintained positive relations with the Nazis. In order to continue carrying out his mission and expanding his “list”, Schindler resorts to bribery and negotiation, revealing that he will go to great lengths to save lives. He is deceitful however, in that other Nazis believe his intentions to be merely financial in efforts to help sustain his business. When negotiating with Nazi Rudolf Hoss, the chief commander at of Auschwitz concentration camp, a mishap occurs. The scene is portrayed in Hoss’s office where a train filled with women, whose destination was originally headed for Schindler’s factory, is mistakenly in route to Auschwitz.

Schindlers List is a movie that takes place during WWII. The movie begins in Krakow, Poland just after the collapse of the Polish army, and at the beginning of the German occupation. Oskar Schindler, a tall handsome womanizer arrives in the city looking to open a factory in order to gain profits from the war. At the time, Jewish people were no long permitted to own a business, so Oskar obtains a factory from a Jewish man named Itzhak Stern, and makes Stern his accountant and manager. The two men form a strange relationship, with Oskar taking advantage of Sterns talent, and Stern distrustingly but obediently following Schindlers orders. Schindler goes to the Jewish ghetto to get the rich Jewish people to invest into his factory, and to get

Schindler risked his life to save the Jews, as his growing compassion towards the Jews took over him; he is a human being, who is sensitive to the suffering of others, which is why witnessing such horror changed his character significantly. Drinking and partying were ideals of Schindler's lifestyle, yet he left all of it to help people he had no personal connection towards; he spent all his money in efforts to save the Jews, and still wanted to save more. In the last scene of the movie, Schindler is distraught and heartbroken, as he looks towards his car stating, “This car. Goeth would have bought this car. Why did I keep the car? Ten people right there. Ten people. Ten more people.”; even in his final moments with the Jews, he believes he could have saved more, even though, he had saved 1100 single handedly. Therefore, his motive was humanity, as no one can idly stand by as individuals are stripped of their lives and slaughtered like animals; you are no less of an animal if you can kill and torture without feeling. Witnessing the unprecedented suffering and unwarranted horrors of

Schindler’s List The movie Schindler’s List was filmed in the year 1993 and directed by Steven Spielberg. Schindler's list was produced by Gerald R. Molen and Branko Lustig. The movie was based on the Holocaust, during World War II and is the true story of Oskar Schindler who saved more than 1,100 jews during the holocaust and how horrific the holocaust was. Germany, 1939.

To think that this self centred man would become known for a shining moment of salvation for so many is almost beyond belief. Oskar Schindler is not a humanitarian or a force for ?good? in the typical sense. He is depicted within the film as a man that simply found himself in a unique position and rose to the occasion. Evil on the other hand, is epitomised throughout the film by the actions of those involved in the Nazi regime, in particular Amon Goeth who was in charge of the forced labour camp at Plaszow.

Oskar Schindler was as you would call it, the protagonist of the film. He was the man looking to make a fortune off the German invasion in Poland, he could be considered as callous or greedy. As you are introduced to Schindler you see him picking out each part of his outfit. The suit, tie, shoes and pants. Right down to the pin and how much money was in his pocket.
