It is the story of Schindler's unlikely heroism and of one man's attempt to do good in the midst of outrageous evil. At the center of the story, though, are the actions and ambitions of Schindler, who comes to Kraków, Poland, seeking his fortune and ends up outwitting the SS to protect his Jewish employees. It recounts the lives of the flamboyant profiteer and womanizer Schindler Schindler's long-suffering wife, Emilie the brutal SS (Nazi secret service) commandant Amon Goeth Schindler's quietly courageous factory manager, Itzhak Stern and dozens of other Jews who underwent the horrors of the Nazi machinery. Thomas Keneally's "documentary novel," based on the recollections of the Schindlerjuden (Schindler's Jews), Schindler himself, and other witnesses, is told in a series of snapshot stories.
Schindler's List recreates the true story of Oskar Schindler, the Czech-born southern German industrialist who risked his life to save over 1,100 of his Jewish factory workers from the death camps in Nazi-occupied Poland.
