It recreates a dark, frightening period during World War II, when Nazi-occupied Kraków first dispossessed Jews of their businesses and homes, then forced them into ghettos and labor camps in Plaszów and finally resettled in concentration camps for execution.

The Diverse Correlation Between Father and Son Herr Schindler senior of Schindler’s List has very specific ideas regarding destiny, which become evident when he states that “Destiny […] was not a limitless rope. It was a piece of elastic. The harder you went forward, the more fiercely you were jerked back to your starting point” (39).
