Synopsis of Schindler's List Story

German speculator Schindler (liam neeson) is a member of the Nazi Party. He is a lecherous and enjoys it. He is a famous local Nazi die-hard. He is good at using relationships to get the maximum benefit.

Jews are the cheapest labor force in occupied Poland. So Schindler's factory only uses Jews. However, when these people got the job, they gained temporary security and were protected from slaughter as producers of war products. Schindler's factory became a refuge for Jews.

However, the Nazi's cruel persecution of Jews made Schindler more and more dissatisfied. 1943, Schindler's last fantasy about the Nazis was shattered by the cruel massacre of Krakow Jews. He knew the Nazi massacre of Jews and the horror of Auschwitz concentration camp. Since then, Schindler has only one idea, to protect Jews from Auschwitz's death as much as possible.

He made a list of workers who claimed that the normal operation of the factory was "necessary" and bribed Nazi officials to survive. He is more and more suspected of violating racial laws, but every time he cleverly avoids persecution and risks his life to save Jews as always. When a train carrying his female workers staggered to Auschwitz, he also spent a lot of money to get them back to his factory.

Soon, the Soviet Red Army came to Krakow to announce the end of the war to the surviving Jews who worked in Schindler's factory. On a snowy night, Schindler bid farewell to the workers, and 1000 Jews were rescued to see him off. They gave Schindler a signed testimony to prove that he was not a war criminal.

At the same time, some people knocked out their gold teeth, made a gold ring and presented it to Schindler. The ring is engraved with a famous Jewish proverb: saving one life is equivalent to saving all mankind. Schindler was in tears, and he felt pain for not saving more Jews.

Schindler has done everything he can to save himself. All his property was used to save the lives of Jews. In the snow, the Jews watched Schindler leave the city. His righteous behavior will always be remembered by Jews.

Extended data

Although Crowe's Nazi accomplice Schindler is quite different from what people see in the movies. However, Schindler's "kindness" is true. Schindler did save more than 65,438+0,000 Jews from the Holocaust and supported them with his own money until the end of World War II. In addition, he adopted two unrelated children and called himself their father.

"The key is that he (Schindler) deserves praise? Of course, "Crowe said," he was the most just gentile during the Holocaust. " 1993, Schindler was awarded the honor of "the most just non-Jew" by the Jewish Holocaust Memorial Organization.

However, after World War II, Schindler's situation was extremely tragic. According to Crowe's research, Schindler was penniless after the war, began to drink alcohol, and later died of excessive drinking and smoking. In return, those "Schindler (protected) Jews" care and take care of their "savior".

Schindler's story is like a mystery. Is his transformation a conscience discovery or an ulterior motive? Even Crowe couldn't tell Schindler's motive to save the Jews. Crowe thinks Schindler may just be an opportunist, hoping to keep his business after the war. However, he also felt that it might be because Schindler was disgusted and indignant at what he saw.

Saul Ulbach, 79, agrees. Ulbach is one of the Jews who survived Schindler's rescue operation. Crowe interviewed him for writing a book. "The brutality of the Germans is even more cruel than he (Schindler) expected," Ulbach said.

Crowe is a professor of history at Elon University in North Carolina and a member of the Education Committee of the American Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington.

Crowe's book is not the only one about Schindler. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were at least six other books about Schindler. However, mordecai Balladiller, the head of the Jewish Holocaust Memorial Organization, thinks Crowe's oskar schindler: Unknown Life, Wartime Activities and the Truth Behind the List is the most authoritative.
