Schindler

The 1993 Oscar winning film, Schindlers list, directed by Steven Spielberg, is undoubtedly one of the greatest and most impressionable films in recent history to have ever been produced. Schindlers list tells the story of the holocaust, the story of a victimised people, the Jews, on the brink of annihilation due to the uprising of the Hitler Nazi government in Germany, and their Anti – Semitic policies.

In this way he brought more and more people into his factory, including whole Jewish families, ultimately saving them from the horrors of the gas chambers. Schindler did brilliantly in fooling his fellow Nazis into thinking that what he was doing was good. He was two faced towards the Nazis. He was openly a member of the Nazi party, yet increasingly opposed to Nazi atrocities.

Schindler’s continuos acts of kindness and bravado saved Jewish lives on a daily basis. Schindler was running a huge risk in so dangerously interceding for Jews, yet he did so repeatedly. A man that once began as a war profiteer, who was so focused on becoming rich, was now a saviour of the Jews. The completion of his transformation shows itself at the end of the film.
