Schindler’s List is a film based on the true story of Austrian industrialist Oskar Schindler. Responsible for saving over 1,100 Polish Jews during the Second World War by using them as labor in is kitchenware factory. As the film opens, you get a glimpse of the suave businessman bent on making a fortune as a war profiteer off the backs of Polish slave labor. Initially, Schindler jumps at the chance to exploit cheap Jewish labor in his factory (knowing full and well this is morally wrong) However, as the war drags on, Schindler finds himself confronted with the near certain death of the Jews at the hand of the Nazi’s.
