Plot Summary

In Nazi-occupied Krakow, opportunistic German businessman Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) sees profit in employing Jewish workers in his enamelware factory. As the horrors of the Holocaust unfold, with the brutal Amon Göth (Ralph Fiennes) overseeing the liquidation of the ghetto, Schindler, aided by accountant Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley), compiles a list of over 1,100 Jews to save from concentration camps by employing them in his essential war factories. The harrowing sequences at the Plaszow labor camp — where Göth terrorizes prisoners with random acts of violence from his balcony — expose the full scope of Nazi cruelty. It is the sight of a small girl in a red coat, wandering through the chaos of the ghetto liquidation and later glimpsed among the dead, that marks a decisive turning point in Schindler’s moral transformation from war profiteer to unlikely savior of over a thousand lives. A profound tale of humanity amid genocide.

Historical Significance

Released in 1993, Schindler’s List is a landmark Holocaust film based on the true story of Oskar Schindler. The screenplay was adapted from Thomas Keneally’s 1982 Booker Prize–winning novel Schindler’s Ark, which drew on extensive interviews with surviving Schindlerjuden. Originally shot in black and white, it won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director for Steven Spielberg, and Best Adapted Screenplay. The film renewed global Holocaust awareness at a time when survivors were aging and firsthand testimony was at risk of fading from public memory. So profoundly affected by the experience of filming, Spielberg founded the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation in 1994, which has since recorded over 55,000 survivor testimonies in 65 countries. Its unflinching portrayal of the Shoah and one man’s heroism continues to educate and move audiences worldwide.
