Schindler's List was directed by the famous American director --Steven Spielberg. This masterpiece won seven Oscars in 1993 and was no doubt a successful wok. It is a movie that related with “holocaust”. During the World War II, people suffered a lot, especially the Jews in Europe. Then Schindler's List became the saviour of these poor people.
We all know that in September 1939, the army of Germany invaded Poland in only two weeks. What’s worse, the dreadful invasion brought about uncountable severe holocausts that nearly caused the genocide of Jews who were considered to be the lowest status race according to Hiteler’s propaganda. This was a significant time that called for heros.
Then, Oskar Schindler turned up. He was a German businessman and a wealthy womanizer who wasn't afraid to throw his money around. He was also a war profiteer, in order to make a big fortune, he used Polish Jews as cheap labour to produce cookware for the Third Reich. But as time went by, something changed in his heart. Schindler witnessed the cruelty and violence of Nazi, he realised the immense evil of Nazism. When his own employees were sent to a work camp, they came under the terrorising reign of sadistic Nazi Amon Goeth. With the help of his accountant, Itzhak Stern, Schindler created a list of "essential" Jews. That was the Schindler's List. With the money he had, he bribed Goeth and Schindler managed to get 1,100 people released from the camp and brought to the safety of his munitions factory in Czechoslovakia. His name was remembered by the Jews.
“I could have got more out. I could have got more. I don't know. If I'd just... I could have got more.” “If I'd made more money... I threw away so much money. If I'd just... ” “I didn't do enough!…” Although Schindler had rescued large numbers of Jews, he still blamed himself of not having been able to help more. “Today is history. Today will be remembered. Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history and you are part of it.” Goeth knowed it, but he didn’t know that he had become a notorious person who was also been remembered by people. What a pity!
