Ludlow Castle the standing structural remains
Heritage Category: Listed Building
Grade: I Listed
List Entry Number: 1291698
Summary
The standing structural remains of Ludlow Castle, an enclosure castle, begun in the late C11, and converted into a tower keep castle in the early C12.
Reasons for Designation
The standing structural remains of Ludlow Castle are listed at Grade I for the following principal reasons:
Historical: as one of England's finest castle sites, clearly showing its development from an enclosure castle into a tower keep castle in the C12; the castle played an important historical role particularly as seat of the President of the Council of the Marches; Architectural: the castle remains illustrate significant phases of development between the C11 and the C16; Survival: the buildings are in a ruinous condition, but nonetheless represent a remarkably complete multi-phase complex.
History
An enclosure castle is a defended residence or stronghold, built mainly of stone, in which the principal or sole defence comprises the walls and mural towers bounding the site. Enclosure castles, found in urban and in rural areas, were the strongly defended residence of the king or lord, sited for offensive or defensive operations, and often forming an administrative centre. Although such sites first appeared following the Norman Conquest, they really developed in the C12, incorporating defensive experience of the period, including that gained during the Crusades. Many enclosure castles were built in the C13, with a few dating from the C14, and Ludlow Castle is not alone in having begun as an enclosure castle and developed into a tower keep castle. At Ludlow, the large existing gate tower was converted into a tower keep in the early C12, providing more domestic accommodation, as well as defence.
Ludlow Castle occupies a commanding position at the steep-sided western end of a flat-topped ridge overlooking the valleys of the River Teme and the River Corve. The adjacent town of Ludlow, which was established by the mid-C12, lies to the south and east of the castle. The defences surrounding the medieval town are designated separately. The castle was probably founded by Walter de Lacy in about 1075 and served as the ‘caput' (the principal residence, military base and administrative centre) of the de Lacy estates in south Shropshire until the mid-C13. During the Anarchy of King Stephen's reign the castle was for Matilda until 1139, when it was besieged and captured by Stephen. The de Lacy family recovered the castle in the C12 and retained it, apart from occasional confiscations, until the death of Walter de Lacy in 1241. Ludlow Castle features in an ‘ancestral romance’ called ‘The Romance of Fulk FitzWarren', written in the late C13 about the adventures of a C13 knight. Other documentary sources indicate that when the castle was in royal control it was used for important meetings, such as that held in 1224 when Henry III made a treaty with the Welsh prince, Llewellyn. Following the death of Walter de Lacy in 1241 the castle came into the possession of the de Genevilles, and in the early C14, the castle passed through marriage to Roger Mortimer. Between 1327 and 1330 Roger Mortimer ruled England as Regent, with Edward II's widowed queen, Isabella. Mortimer had himself made Earl of March in 1328. In 1425 the Mortimer inheritance passed to Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, who made Ludlow a favoured residence. His eldest son, who assumed the title of Earl of March, claimed the crown as Edward IV in 1461. Edward IV's son Edward was created Prince of Wales in 1471, and in 1473 was sent to Ludlow, where the administration of the principality known as the Council in the Marches was established. Both Edward and the Council remained at Ludlow until Edward IV's death in 1483. Ludlow Castle continued as an important royal residence and in 1493 the Council was re-established at Ludlow with Henry VII's son and heir, Prince Arthur as Prince of Wales. In 1501 Arthur was installed at Ludlow with his bride, Katherine of Aragon, and it was at Ludlow that Arthur died in 1502. In 1534 the Council in the Marches received statutory powers both to hear suits and to supervise and intervene in judicial proceedings in Wales and the Marches, and from that time until 1641, and again from 1660 to 1689, Ludlow's principal role was as the headquarters for the Council and, as such, the administrative capital of Wales and the border region. Milton’s mask, ‘Comus’, was first performed here in 1634 before John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater, in celebration of the earl’s new appointment as Lord President of Wales. On the dissolution of the Council the castle was abandoned and left to decay. Lead, window glass and panelling were soon removed for reuse in the town. In 1771, when the castle was leased to the Earl of Powis, many of the buildings were in ruins.
Since the late C18, the buildings have undergone repair and restoration at various times, as well as some further deterioration, with some rebuilding and replacement of stonework. Extensive archaeological excavations were undertaken by William St John Hope between 1903 and 1907. The castle is now open to the public.
Details
The standing structural remains of Ludlow Castle, an enclosure castle, begun in the late C11, and converted into a tower keep castle in the early C12.
MATERIALS: the castle is constructed of a variety of local stones; it appears that the greenish-grey flaggy calcerous siltstones that underlies the castle was used in its initial phase, with local sandstones being used thereafter.
PLAN: the castle consists of an elliptical INNER BAILEY, in the north-west corner of the site, representing the earliest area of development, with the OUTER BAILEY, created in the second half of the C12, to the south and east.
BUILDINGS:
The curtain wall of the inner bailey incorporates four mural towers and the former gatehouse, all thought to have been constructed by 1115. Three of the four towers are open at the back and would originally have contained wooden scaffolding supporting look-out and fighting platforms. The fourth tower, known as the POSTERN TOWER, on the western side of the enclosure, has small ground-floor postern doorways on its north and east sides. The former gatehouse, situated at the south-eastern part of the enclosure, is rectangular in plan and was originally three storeys in height. Remaining in the ground-floor of the building is part of a wall arcade, thought to be late-C11, with ornamented capitals. In the early C12 a fourth storey was added to provide more domestic accommodation, thus converting the gatehouse into a tower keep, known as the GREAT TOWER. In the later C12 the original gatehouse entrance passage was blocked (the location of the former arch remains visible on the south elevation) and an archway was cut through the adjacent part of the curtain wall to the north-east, reached by a stone bridge. This archway was partially infilled and a smaller arch constructed in the C14. Access to the upper floors of the tower is by a spiral stair to the east, reached by an ornamented doorcase, the Tudor arch having a trefoiled lintel flanked by cusped panelling and trefoiled lintel, which also gives access to rooms in the Judges’ Lodgings (see below). On the first floor is the hall, with a chamber and garderobe to the west. In the second half of the C15 the north wall of the Great Tower was rebuilt and internal floors added to create new rooms lit by enlarged windows. Adjoining the Great Tower, in the south-west section of the inner bailey, is the INMOST BAILEY, a walled enclosure constructed in the C12 and C13 to provide greater security and privacy to those living in the Great Tower. There is a well within this enclosure surrounded by a low stone wall.
Located in the north-eastern sector of the elliptical enclosure of the inner bailey are the remains of the CHAPEL OF ST MARY MAGDALENE. This was built in the first half of the C12, probably by Gilbert de Lacy, and was remodelled in the C16, probably in two phases. In the first phase, thought to have been undertaken circa 1502 for the installation of Arthur, Prince of Wales, a first floor was inserted in the circular nave, together with additional openings, including a first-floor doorway which gave access to a passage linking the chapel with the Great Chamber Block to the north. In the second phase, during the presidency of the Council in the Marches of Sir Henry Sidney (1560-86), the original presbytery and chancel were taken down and a new chancel, or chapel, built, stretching as far as the curtain wall. The crenellated circular nave, which measures 8.3m in diameter internally, survives to its full height as a roofless shell, and contains much original carving to the round-headed order arches of the door openings, with chevron and billet mouldings, and to the internal blind arcade with a variety of capitals and moulded arches.
Since the late C12, the castle site has been entered through the two-storeyed GATEHOUSE within the eastern part of the curtain wall of the outer bailey. The wall originally had two adjoining rectangular mural towers of which the one to the north of the gatehouse survives as a standing structure; this, together with the adjacent section of the curtain wall form part of the CASTLE HOUSE built in the C18 (listed separately at Grade I). Protruding from the curtain wall defining the western side of the outer bailey are the remains of a semi-circular tower known as MORTIMER'S TOWER, possibly built in the early C13; this originally consisted of a ground-floor entrance passage, with two floors above, and was used as the postern entrance to the outer bailey until the C15. In the south-west corner of the outer bailey are the remains of ST PETER’S CHAPEL, originally a free-standing rectangular structure, founded by Roger Mortimer to celebrate his escape from the Tower of London in 1324, following his rebellion against Edward II. The chapel served as the Court House and offices of the Council in the Marches, for which an adjacent building to the west was constructed. The south-east corner of the chapel is now attached to a wall which completes the enclosure of the outer bailey’s south-west corner. In the north wall of the chapel is a blocked two-light window, enlarged at the bottom when a floor was inserted for the court house; a second original window towards the eastern end now contains a first-floor blocked doorway.
At the end of the C13 or in the early C14 an extensive building programme was initiated, replacing existing structures within the inner bailey with a grand new range of domestic buildings, built along the inside of the north section of the Norman curtain wall. The construction of these new buildings indicates the changing role of Ludlow Castle from military stronghold to a more comfortable residence and a seat of political power, reflecting the more peaceful conditions in the region following the conquest of Wales by Edward I. The first buildings to be completed were the GREAT HALL and the adjoining SOLAR BLOCK (private apartments). The Great Hall, which was used for ceremonial and public occasions, consisted of a first floor over a large undercroft, reached through a moulded pointed arch in the south elevation. The Hall was lit on both south and north sides by three pointed-arched windows with sunk chamfers and ‘Y’ tracery formed of paired cusped trefoil-headed lights, under hoodmoulds; these originally had seats, now partially surviving. The central south window was converted to a fireplace, replacing the louver which formerly covered the open fire towards the east of the Hall, its position indicated by elaborate corbels. At the west end, a series of openings lead into the Solar Block, only one of these (that to the north) being of the primary phase. Within the Hall, at the western end, is a timber viewing platform, which is not of special interest.* The Solar Block is thought to have been begun as a two-storey building, and raised to three storeys shortly afterwards, at which time the adjacent NORTH-WEST TOWER was raised, with the new CLOSET TOWER being built in the angle between the two. Each of the three floors of the Solar Block extended into the North-West Tower, with each being linked to a room in the Closet Tower. All three floors of the Solar were heated, the ground floor having a fireplace which originally had a stone hood; the first-floor room has hooded fireplace, on nearly triangular-sectioned jambs; the room above has a plainer hooded fireplace. The windows include original openings with ‘Y’ tracery and trefoil-headed lights, similar to those in the Hall, and a ground-floor mullioned window probably dating from the late C16.
In the early C14 two additional buildings containing more private apartments were constructed by Richard Mortimer. The three-storeyed GREAT CHAMBER BLOCK was built in about 1320 next to the Great Hall to balance the Solar Block to the west of the Hall. The connecting four-storeyed GARDEROBE TOWER, which projects from the curtain wall of the inner bailey, was also probably built about the same time. As in the Hall and Solar blocks, the floors are now lost but features in the walls remain to indicate layout and function. The main entrance to this block is through a recessed doorway in the south-west corner, with a pointed two-light window above. The undercroft was heated, and is lit by two two-light windows with stone side seats in the south wall. The tracery of the eastern of these windows has been lost. The first-floor main room, or ‘Great Chamber’, contains a grand hooded fireplace carried on a fourfold series of corbels; to either side of the fireplace are large head corbels with leafwork. The Tudor transomed and mullioned window probably replaced an earlier window. The upper room also has a large hooded fireplace, and was lit principally by a large trefoil-headed window with head-stopped hoodmould in the southern wall.
Following the establishment of the headquarters for the Council in the Marches at Ludlow, new buildings were constructed and many existing buildings changed their use. Within the inner bailey the main room in the Great Chamber Block became the council chamber, with additional chambers above. A new adjoining residential block, now called the TUDOR LODGINGS, was built to the east, replacing earlier structures. The block consisted of two sets of lodgings both being of three storeys with attic rooms above. The south wall of this block cuts across openings in the east wall of the Great Chamber Block. Between the lodgings, projecting from the south wall, is a circular stair tower, entered through an ogee-headed arch. The windows in the south elevation are mullioned; several have been blocked. In the north wall of the western lodging, at ground-floor level, is an opening with double trefoil head, having a divided light above. Otherwise, the features of this range are plain, with pointed door openings, and straight lintels to fireplaces.
As the power of the Council grew, further domestic accommodation was needed. To the east of the entrance within the inner bailey, a three-storeyed range, known as the JUDGES LODGINGS, was completed in 1581. On the south side, this building extends the curtain wall upwards, with two gables, and piercing for fenestration, the earlier arched entrance to the inner bailey becoming visually part of the newer building, with rooms above; stone arms set immediately over the archway dated 1581 commemorate the Presidency of the Council of Sir Henry Sidney. Rooms set above the arch leave a gate-passage leading through a second archway to the inner bailey, and giving access to both the Great Keep and the Judges’ Lodgings. The rooms above the gate-passage appear to have been accessed by the embellished Tudor-arched doorway in the Keep at the north end of the passage. The north side of the Judges’ Lodgings, within the inner bailey, has a polygonal stair turret (which originally had a pyramidal roof), with mullioned and transomed eight-light windows set regularly to either side. Within, some indication is given of the arrangement and appearance of the rooms by the survival of numerous fireplaces of red sandstone backed by brick set in herringbone pattern. The adjoining building to the east, originally two-storeyed, is thought to date from the C17.
Other developments during the C16 included changes to the south-west corner tower, enclosed within the inmost bailey, with the installation of a large oven at ground-floor level, with residential rooms above; the tower became known as the OVEN TOWER. In 1522 the PORTER'S LODGE was built in the outer bailey to the south of the gatehouse. The shell of this building now contains the castle shop; the modern structure and fittings of the shop are not of special interest.* Also dating from 1522 is the PRISON, adjoining to the south, which retains square-headed windows with moulded frames and hoodmoulds, and the stable block, completed in 1597, with mullioned windows. Like the porter's lodge, these buildings remain as incomplete shells.
*Pursuant to s.1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 ('the Act'), it is declared that these aforementioned features are not of special architectural or historic interest.

Ludlow Castle, Castle Square, Ludlow, Shropshire
Construction of Ludlow Castle began in the late 11th century by the de Lacy's and held by them until the 13th century. In the 14th century it was enlarged by the Mortimers. In the 15th century ownership transferred between the House of York and Lancashire during the War of the Roses. In Elizabethan times the castle was further extended by Sir Henry Sidney. After the civil war the castle declined. It is now owned by the Earl of Powys for the crown.
Grade I listed.

Welcome to Ludlow Castle, one of the finest medieval ruins in England. Set in the glorious Shropshire countryside at the heart of the superb, bustling black & white market town of Ludlow. Walk through the Castle grounds and see the ancient houses of kings, queens, princes, judges and the nobility – a glimpse into the lifestyle of medieval society
The Castle, firstly a Norman Fortress and extended over the centuries to become a fortified Royal Palace, has ensured Ludlow’s place in English history – originally built to hold back unconquered Welsh, passing through generations of the de Lacy and Mortimer families to Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York. It became Crown property in 1461 and remained a royal castle for the next 350 years, during which time the Council of the Marches was formed with responsibility for the Government of Wales and the border counties. Abandoned in 1689 the castle quickly fell into ruin, described as ‘the very perfection of decay’ by Daniel Defoe
Since 1811 the castle has been owned by the Earls of Powis, who have arrested further decline, and allowed this magnificent historical monument to be open to the public. Today the Castle is the home to Ludlow’s major festivals throughout the year and open for all to enjoy.

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.

Surname noted in cemetery database as FATOOCK.
His body was recovered badly decomposed on 3 January 1906[3]
Interestingly enough in a newspaper list of passengers and crew, Hannah does not appear:

However, in this newspaper article an Assyrian hawker aged 18 named as James FLETCHER, does appear. I would say that Hannah FATTOOCH anglicised his name and this is him. Hannah’s grave also has non English script on it.

THE KAPANUI DISASTER.
For the second time in a very few years the Christmas festivities of Auckland have been saddened by one of those sudden tragedies which come like' a bolt from the blue. One would have imagined that to steamers accustomed to ply our harbour waters, they were as familiarly known as Queen-street, and whatever risk of collision there might be from stranger vessels our own coastal steamers would, be as safe among their consorts as in dry dock. Yet on Saturday night, the popular Christmas Eve, the Claymore and the Kapanui met in collision, off the Devonport shore, and five lives were lost when the Kapanui sank. In sympathising with the friends and relatives of those so suddenly struck from life to death, we can do no more than point to the profound sadness which overspread the city as rumour of the tragedy was passed from mouth to mouth. It was immediately felt that the loss was a personal one, and there was no merrymaking yesterday at which kindly thoughts were not constantly given to those whose feasting had been turned to mourning by this most woeful happening. Nor was it without solemn and earnest gratitude that it was as universally recognised how easily the Claymore might have accompanied the Kapanui to the bottom, and how providential was the escape of that crowded steamer from a fate that might have draped a hundred homes in the sable symbol of death. But while we profoundly sympathise with the sorrowing, and are unfeignedly thankful that Auckland was spared what might have been the deadliest tragedy that has ever befallen our home-staying people, we must not forget that it is the public duty to discover the specific cause of this most grievous happening. The public may rest satisfied that in the official inquiry which will be held the circumstances will be thoroughly sifted, and it will then be time to insist that necessary precautions shall be taken to prevent any possibility of recurrence.

THE RECENT HARBOUR DISASTER.
TOWING THE KAPANUI TO SHORE.
Yesterday morning Messrs. D. Gouk and Sons, the contractors for the raising of the sunken steamer Kapanui had everything in readiness for the towing of the steamer over to Judge's Bay, on the southern shore of the harbour, but the work was greatly impeded by the severe southerly wind and the strong tide running. The wire ropes which had been placed around the steamer on Thursday by the diver of the cable steamer Iris, were made fast to one of the scows and towards the time of low water a start was made with the towing, the company's steamer Kotiti rendering assistance, being relieved in the evening by the Durham. Good progress was made, but at high, water the work had, of course, to be suspended until this morning. It is anticipated that the steamer will be beached to-day or to-morrow. [2]

The Jury's Verdict Arrest of Captain Southgate
Charged with Manslaughter
The inquest on the recovered bodies of the victims of the Kapanui disaster, which occurred in the harbour on the night of December 23rd, concluded yesterday, and the jury brought in a verdict that tho death of Clark was due to crushing, while that of Heavey and Fletcher was due to drowning, and that the deaths of all three were occasioned by the improper navigation of James Southgate, the captain of the Kapanui.
Captain Southgate was then arrested on a charge of manslaughter, and was taken before a Justice of the Peace and released on bail, He is to appear before the Police Court to-day.
Later,
Captain Southgate was charged at tho Police Court this morning with manslaughter, and was remanded to Friday bail as formerly being allowed[4]
Noted later was: “The Auckland Herald urging the recommendation of the Kapanui Inquiry Court, “That a sufficient number of water police should be appointed for the port of Auckland,” should command the attention and approval of the Police Department. It is stated that the previously limited number of water police has gradually been retrenched almost to extinction. The Herald says “this state of affairs repeatedly gives rise to grave difficulties and is responsible for the scandals that frequently disgrace Auckland waters.” [6]

Total retail value: $7.64.
ITEMS
#1 MAIN ITEM. King James Version Gift and Award Bible (also known as Gift & Award Bible, King James Version) by Zondervan Publishing House (2011).
Amazon reviewer David M. Hodges describes Zondervan's King James Version Gift and Award Bible and its potential usefulness as follows:
The best way to characterize this Bible is as a paperback outreach Bible inside a firmer-than-paperback cover made to look vaguely like leather (the publisher, Zondervan, calls this a "Leather-Look binding." If you're looking for an outreach Bible to give away, but you'd like something that looks a little better than the paperback outreach Bibles, this product may be what you're looking for. (But be aware that the pages inside still look and feel like those in a mass market paperback.) Though the maps, dictionary, and other "Bible Study Helps" would hardly suffice for a serious (expensive) Bible, they do help make this a better-than-standard just-for-outreach Bible. (www.amazon.com/review/R2WDINZ88F4U08/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm, accessed 15 October 2012)
Other Amazon reviews (two posted as of the start of this sale, www.amazon.com/King-James-Version-Award-Bible/product-rev..., accessed 15 October 2012) indicate that the Bible gets high marks as a gift/award Bible for children. (Note that the Bible in this sale are black, not purple.) Though the seller rarely interacts with children, he notes this as an additional use for the Bible (Zondervan's primary intended use, one guesses) in case it is of interest to some buyers.
A final seller's note: The text is small but legible (see scan; though the scan is not sharp throughout, it does give you an accurate idea of what the text looks like).

It's not a nice neat numbered list. But I needed to remember what day things needed to be done to get ready for this colonoscopy test. I took off work the day before and day of the test, and spent lots of time in the bathroom. Pictured here is the gallon jug which held the Colyte solution which I had to drink most of, and the lists of intructions from the doctor (blue), from the bottle of Colyter (center), and my handwritten list. Also the reading material for the wait. I got through most of the Chinese Proverbs, didn't start Ben Franklin's Wit And Wisdom. My list says to take books to the hospital, which I did, but didn't get the chance to read. They were very efficient there, so I brought home unread the books that I carried with me the day of the test. I took change with me just in case I had to take the bus home, but my sister was able to come get me. She said, "I'd hate for you to have to take the bus on this hot day." It was about 98 degrees with a heat index of 105.

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.
