Topic > Review of the film Schindler's List, by Steven Spielberg

As it is said that during wars, a third party always benefits; the film also shows how a Nazi-Czech businessman (who is more of an opportunist and war profiteer) Oskar Schindler, uses Jewish workers to start a pre-occupied factory in Poland. As a member of the Nazi Party, Schindler is essentially driven by politics and knows how to deal with bureaucracy and those in power to get what he wants. As time passes, he becomes deeply affected by the treatment of Jews and begins to take steps to protect approximately 1,500 people who worked for him. He managed to convince the authorities to build a new factory where the employees were interned and went to great lengths to employ those facing the anger of the camp commandant, Amon Goeth. When the camp is closed, he somehow manages to move “his” Jews to a new factory in Czechoslovakia. During all the hardships and struggles when the train carrying the women is hijacked to Auschwitz, Schindler races to free them by using some of his fortune and power to free them. At the end of the war Schindler lost everything but managed to save the lives of around 1100 of his employees. As World War II progressed and the fate of the Jews became increasingly clear, Schindler's motivations changed from profit to human sympathy, and Schindlerjuden, (literally translated as Schindler Jews) a new community of approximately 1100 Jews was formed who were saved from the war.
