The German forces defeat the Polish in weeks. Soon afterward, the Jews are forced out of their homes to report to the train station, where their names are registered. Over 10,000 Jews are being shipped off to Krakow. People tease and yell at any Jew they see in the street. An example of persecution ( being treated differently because of ones own beliefs.) There would be far worse examples of persecution as the Holocaust moves on.

In Krakow the ghetto is overcrowded with Jews. The Jewish people are all gathered together and organized into working groups by the Judenrat (Jewish council comprised of twenty-four elected Jews responsible for the order). Oscar Schindler who was a German businessman and who held the Nazis in very high regard, in fact he bought himself right into the Nazi party and became a very popular one himself, visited the ghetto. He wished to see Itzh

Under Sterns influence, Schindler has come to feel an empathy and responsibility toward his workers, and when the Nazis confine all Jews to a forced labor camp he commanded to keep "his Jews" confined at the factory. At his own expense, he constructs barracks and strings barbed wire. He creates an outpost of the labor camp which in reality is a safe haven from the sinister Goeth, who regularly sends "unfit" Jewish workers to Auschwitz. Oscar starts to promote his new factory by sending baskets full of goods to many German leaders. The Jews begin their work in the factory. They are taught how to make pots and pans. These workers are very grateful to Oscar for the jobs because it keeps them out of the camps and alive. One very emotional part for me was when a one-armed man personally thanks Oscar for his job. The Germans later murder him because of his handicap. Thousands of Jews are shipped off on a train to a concentration camp. The entire luggage is stolen and gone through by German soldiers. By mistake, Itzhak Stern is placed on a train. Oskar hears of this mistake and rushes down to the station and desperately retrieves him from the train. This is evidence that Schindler is changing into a caring man although he doesn’t admit that to himself.

Several days later at Plaszow the sick Jews are separated from the healthy. The ladies pricked their fingers and rubbed their own blood on their faces so they would look healthier. The weak and sick Jews were killed so there would be more room for the new shipments of Jews arriving at the camp. All of the children were placed on trucks and sent away. Several of them attempted to hide so they wouldn’t have to leave their family. Most were unsuccessful. It is now Oscar’s birthday. He throws a big party with many of his German friends. Several young Jewish factory workers come to his party to give him a gift. One of the young girls gives him the gift and in return he kisses her. This is a mistake. He broke the Race and Resettlement Act by kissing the Jewish girl. Goeth discusses what happened that night and Oscar apologizes. In April 1944 Goeth receives orders to exhume and burn the bodies of more than 10,000 Jews killed at Plaszow and the Krakow Massacre. The living Jews at the camp are forced to recover and burn the dead from a year before. The little girl in the red coat, from ear
