‘Schindler’s List’ Movie Summary

It’s World War II, and the Germans move local Polish Jews into an overcrowded ghetto in Kraków. Oskar Schindler is an ethnic German (and member of the Nazi Party) from Czechoslovakia with hopes of profiting off the conflict. Schindler bribes German armed forces and SS officials in Kraków to acquire a factory so he can produce enamelware.

Schindler hires Itzhak Stern, a local Jewish official, because he has contacts with both people running the black market and people in the Jewish business community. He helps Schindler finance the factory. Schindler keeps things friendly with the Nazis, while Stern manages the factory. He hires cheap Jewish workers which keeps them from being sent to concentration camps or killed outright.

Second Lieutenant, Amon Göth, is in Kraków too, and he oversees construction of the Płaszów concentration camp. Once completed, he orders his men to empty the ghetto there. The soldiers shoot and kill many Jews in the process. This massacre changes Schindler. He spots a young girl with a red coat trying to hide from the Nazis. Later he sees her dead body on a wagon with the other recently killed.
