SCHINDLER’S LIST is one of the
most powerful movies of all time. It tells the compelling true story of the German
businessman Oskar Schindler who comes to Nazi-occupied Poland looking for economic
prosperity and leaves as a savior of more than 1,100 Jews. A charming and sly
entrepreneur, Schindler bribes and befriends the Nazi authorities to gain control of a
factory in Krakow by aryanization, which he staffs with Jewish slave - laborers, and soon
he is making a fortune. But among the Jews who work for him is Itzhak Stern, the plant
manager, who in his benevolence sees to it that Schindler's workforce includes the most
vulnerable and cherished members of Krakow's Jewish community. |

Voted as the Best Picture of 1993, every aspect of this film is first rate. John
Williams' music is among the best he has ever done, the acting is riveting and the black
and white cinematography is superb. Director Steven Spielberg surpassed his usual standard
of excellence with this marvelous film. S CHINDLER’S L IST is one of five films on this site that
cover the tumultuous years of the Second World War. The others are Saving Private Ryan, The Great Escape, Bridge on the River Kwai and Patton. They are part of the larger History in Film web site that supports teaching history
using popular films. It includes films from Rome up to the war in Vietnam.
