Oskar Schindler’s process of saving those Jews wasn’t an easy task. The Holocaust was one of the worst genocides of all time. “Holocaust is a word of Greek origin meaning ‘sacrifice by fire’” (www.ushmm.org).

One such example would be the film Schindler’s List, adapted from the novel Schindler’s Ark by Thomas Keneally.1 The film portrays the Holocaust quite brutally and unsympathetically towards Germans (for obvious reasons). There was very little backlash towards the movie; it received widespread critical acclaim and won numerous Academy Awards.

know as Emailia. He used the old factory to manufacture military goods for the Nazi army. The factory officially opened in 1939 and in just 5 years, it reached peak power with over 1,700 workers. Schindler’s factory became a safehouse for Jewish workers because of how lenient he was. In late 1944, Schindler’s workers were being liquidated from their nearby by ghetto (Krakow).
