Schindler after the war is over he regrets not using every single bit of his money to just save one more Jew, he didn’t do enough. His ring could have saved two jews, his car could hold ten Jews. Schindler’s list is during the Holocaust where a busniess man Oskar Schindler buys Jews because there are cheaper to make money for him but is that the real reason to buy these Jews. The conflict between Goethe and Schindler grows. The transformation and development of Schindler throughout the movie is extraordinary.
In Schindler’s List the movie is about the savings of a thousand Jews during the Holocaust. Their savior is Oskar Schindler the protagonist of the movie while Amon Goeth is a General in charge of a labor camp who is the antagonist of the movie. Other important characters are as followed: Itzhak Stern, One armed man, and girl in red dress. In this movie Schindler forages Jews to work for him becuase Jews are cheaper. Throughout the movie Schindler’s outlook on Jews transforms. Oskar Schindler never claims the real reason of foraging Jews he just says he is doing it for busniess even though before and after the war his busniess and the factory was in non-production. He tricked the Nazis in allowing Schindler to have Jews for labor however Schindler is savinf Jews which is against the law as a Nazi. Towards the end of the movie he goes through a mental breakdown because he wanted to save more but as the movie states, “one who saves a life save the world entire.”
The novel ‘Night’ written by Elie Wiesel and the film ‘Schindlers List’ directed by Steven Spielberg, are both based in World War 2 and more specifically the holocaust and the attempted cleanse of the Jewish race. These two texts both heavily demonstrate the horrors and brutalities that the Jewish people had faced during the holocaust. The two depictions of these events have many similarities although one being word and the other being film, however they differ in perspective, Schindlers List showing an outside look at the events where Night is a first person experience. The two representations of the holocaust, although are opposites of perspective both do not shy away from showing the brutalities and the wickedness that took
For example, he succeed his first quest for riches, but at the end of the war, he spent everything he made, and managed to save 1,300 Jewish men and women lives. Not too long after his factory, which produced enamels goods and munitions, Schindler's Jewish accountant put him in touch with some of the few Jews that has any remaining wealth. Furthermore, they invested in his factory, and in return, they would be able to work there and hopefully be spared. He was persuaded to hire more Jewish workers for his factory to pay off the Nazis so they would allow them to stay in
Schindler’s List displays this by showing how the Jews were sent to forced labour camps such as the Plaszow. When they arrived to these labour and concentration camps, they were separated by gender as told “men to the left, women to the right”, this separated families causing more effective discomfort to the Jews. In the labour camps, many Jews were shot often resulting in death because they were not working to the satisfaction of the Nazis or SS officers who were in charge of that labour camp. If any Jews were seen as unhealthy they were sent to death camps. During this stage of the holocaust many Jews were
In Night, Jews are slowly reduced to nothing but animals. While the prisoners are in the concentration camp, the prisoners develop a new economic system where food and clothes replace coins and money. The Germans take advantage of this and use it for their amusement.
Schindler did some very bad things in the beginning, he used slave labor for his profit and he schmoozed many people for his benefit. Though near the end he still schmoozed to get what he wanted, now it was for the benefit of the Jews that he was saving. Schindler change of character and attitude saved 1200 Jews. Schindler changed a lot and because of that many generations of the jews he saved lived
The film Schindler 's List stands among the most successful and noteworthy Holocaust films of the twentieth century. It portrays the moral development of one Oskar Schindler, a rising Nazi businessman, who saved roughly one thousand Jewish prisoners of the Krakow Ghetto by employing them at his factory. By heavily bribing Nazi officials and outsourcing his production, Schindler was able to his deem his Jewish workers essential to the war effort, saving them from otherwise certain death. Like all films, Schindler 's List has its strengths and weaknesses. The director 's decision to begin in full color with candles which fade into black and white not only helps the viewer enter a solemn and serious mindset, but it also minimizes distractions as to focus solely on the film 's message while the story unfolds.
The Holocaust was a devastating event that had outreaching effects on many groups of people and many countries. Although most of this devastation happened to the Jewish Race. There are many books, movies, memoirs, and academic journals regarding the Holocaust, portraying how it affected different people and their stories. One memoir that will be discussed is Night written by Elie Wiesel about his life during the Holocaust. Also a movie by the name of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas will be discussed.
It is obvious that Schindler risk his life, determining whether he did it out of empathy, impulse, self-interest, Influence is a good question. At one point if you would have asked me this question I would have said self-interest, but now looking at the full picture and watching the movie my vision of him has shifted. The things he saw and did, the way he took action, trying to save lives. Schindler was raised to believe to hate Jews at a young age, and everyone he new and maybe even trusted was going around tormenting jews and killing for fun. It makes me wonder if he truly was not sure of which way to go.
As he experiences multiple harsh moments, Schindler becomes a decent, unselfish, and a positive manipulating man. Schindler once said, “War brings out the worst in people.”, but he proves his own statement wrong by himself becoming a better man. As Steven Spielberg directs Schindler’s List, he profusely provides us with great details of how Oskar Schindler’s character has
During the time Elie Wiesel spent in the various concentration camps, it seems as though only the worst of events may occur, but Elie shows otherwise. He proves there is thoughtfulness and compassion in forms of words and actions. Elie is shown sympathy from a French girl, and the pure act of giving from his relative Stein. But in addition, a brave heart is willing to risk his life to save another person’s in the film The Pianist. Elie was in a unfortunate circumstance and was beaten for no apparent reason, and the French girl gave him hope.
Weisel shows the helplessness that him and the rest of the Jews are faced with, and explains how they are now all equal in everything, clothes, lives, financially, and even with
The story of Oskar Schindler, a “hero” that saved the lives of nearly 1,200 Jewish men and women during the Holocaust. The story is told in the form of a book, written by Thomas Keneally after interviewing one of the Jews present during the events. This book was later named “Schindler’s Ark” and much later would be created into the film Schindler’s List. The movie, Schindler’s List, was based on a true story, and for the most part historically accurate in terms of depicting the holocaust. The film does at times, include a few instances of historical inaccuracies that are included or left out for the sake of storytelling.
The Holocaust was a horrible event in history that will scar humanity forever. With the events of the Holocaust being experienced by millions there are many different perspectives of said events. One such perspective is presented in Night, a memoir written by Elie Wiesel about his experiences as a young Jewish boy during the Holocaust. Another perspective is presented in Schindler’s List, a film directed by Steven Spielberg (based on the novel Schindler’s Ark by Thomas Keneally) about Oskar Schindler, a gentile who saves over one thousand Jewish lives during the Holocaust. Both pieces show heart wrenching stories of the abuse of a group of people in different ways, each using different mediums to convey their points.

The Nazi creates a plan to annihilate the Jewish people called de “Final Solution”.(“Final Solution”) The way in which they killed was the most cruelty and coldness ever happen in all the history of the world. They created concentration camps so the Jews work and at the end they were killed, this includes women’s, children's and men’s.
Midterm Assignment When one thinks of a violent film I feel as though a Tarantino movie comes to mind instantly. However, in this instance I chose a different violent film.

As most people probably know by now, Schindler’s List is about the Holocaust committed by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi German army.
