Schindler’s List is the true story of Oskar Schindler, a Nazi party member and businessman during World War II. The film juxtaposes the two sides of the war by showing the great riches and opportunities it can bring to a man like Oskar Schindler while at the same time destroy a people such as the Jews. The story begins with Oskar Schindler spending an enormous amount of money to produce a successful image for himself. He buys hard to find foods, delicacies, clothing, cigarettes and various other items that will prove to his Nazi friends just how good he is to do business with. At this same time, the Jews of Krakow and surrounding areas are forced to move into the ghetto. All of the lovely things they had to leave behind are up for grabs for the Nazis. Schindler manages to procure a wonderful home for himself that a Jewish family had just left. Schindler opened a factory that was to make pots and pans for the war effort. His right hand man in the business was a Jewish accountant named Itzhak Stern. Instead of paying more for Polish workers, Schindler used the desperate plight of the Jews and had them work for him for next to nothing. The unexpected effect of working at the factory was that those lucky Jews were saved from random killings and deportation because they had a purpose, work. Stern decided who would work at the factory based on how desperate their status was. If they were certain to be deported to a labor camp, they were “saved” by working in the factory.
