Schindler's list by Paul Saint Vincent Dwyer

Plot[edit]

In 1939, the Germans move Polish Jews into the Kraków Ghetto as World War

II begins. Oskar Schindler, an ethnic German, arrives in the city hoping

to make his fortune. A member of the Nazi Party, Schindler lavishes

bribes on Wehrmacht (German armed forces) and SS officials and acquires a

factory to produce enamelware. To help him run the business, Schindler

enlists the aid of Itzhak Stern, a local Jewish official who has contacts

with black marketeers and the Jewish business community. Stern helps

Schindler arrange loans to finance the factory. Schindler maintains

friendly relations with the Nazis and enjoys wealth and status as "Herr

Direktor", and Stern handles administration. Schindler hires Jewish

workers because they cost less, while Stern ensures that as many people

as possible are deemed essential to the German war effort, which saves

them from being transported to concentration camps or killed.

SS-Untersturmführer (second lieutenant) Amon Goeth arrives in Kraków to

oversee construction of Płaszów concentration camp. When the camp is

completed, he orders the ghetto liquidated. Many people are shot and

killed in the process of emptying the ghetto. Schindler witnesses the

massacre and is profoundly affected. He particularly notices a tiny girl

in a red coat – one of the few splashes of color in the black-and-white

film – as she hides from the Nazis. When he later sees the red coat on a

wagon loaded with bodies being taken away to be burned, he knows the girl

is dead. Schindler is careful to maintain his friendship with Goeth and,

through bribery and lavish gifts, continues to enjoy SS support. Goeth

brutally mistreats his maid and randomly shoots people from the balcony

of his villa, and the prisoners are in constant daily fear for their

lives. As time passes, Schindler's focus shifts from making money to

trying to save as many lives as possible. He bribes Goeth into allowing

him to build a sub-camp for his workers so that he can better protect

them.

As the Germans begin to lose the war, Goeth is ordered to ship the

remaining Jews at Płaszów to Auschwitz concentration camp. Schindler asks

Goeth to allow him to move his workers to a new munitions factory he

plans to build in his home town of Zwittau-Brinnlitz. Goeth agrees, but

charges a huge bribe. Schindler and Stern create "Schindler's List" – a

list of people to be transferred to Brinnlitz and thus saved from

transport to Auschwitz.

As Schindler's workers begin to arrive at the new site, the train

carrying the women is accidentally redirected to Auschwitz. Schindler

bribes the commandant of Auschwitz with a bag of diamonds to win their

release. At the new factory, Schindler forbids the SS guards to enter the

production areas and encourages the Jews to observe the Sabbath. To keep

his workers alive, he spends much of his fortune bribing Nazi officials

and buying shell casings from other companies; his factory does not

produce any usable armaments during its seven months of operation.

Schindler runs out of money just as Germany surrenders, ending the war in

Europe.

As a Nazi Party member and war profiteer, Schindler must flee the

advancing Red Army to avoid capture. The SS guards have been ordered to

kill the Jews, but Schindler persuades them to return to their families

as men, not murderers. He bids farewell to his workers and prepares to

head west, hoping to surrender to the Americans. The workers give

Schindler a signed statement attesting to his role saving Jewish lives,

together with a ring engraved with a Talmudic quotation: "Whoever saves

one life saves the world entire." Schindler is touched but is also deeply

ashamed, as he feels he should have done even more. As the Schindlerjuden

(Schindler Jews) awaken the next morning, a Soviet soldier announces that

they have been liberated. The Jews leave the factory and walk to a nearby

town.

After some scenes depicting Goeth's execution and a summary of

Schindler's later life, the black-and-white frame changes to a color shot

of actual Schindlerjuden at Schindler's grave in Jerusalem. Accompanied

by the actors who portrayed them, the Schindlerjuden place stones on the

grave. In the final scene, Neeson places a pair of roses on the grave.
