Schindler's List



If you have ever been interested in WWII, but especially the disasters of the Holocaust, then you will definitely love Schindler's List. This inspiring movie takes place in Nazi Germany during and before WWII. It display's the life of Oskar Schindler and what his purpose of life was. Basically he first started out as a businessman selling enamelware and needed workers for his business, so, being very resourceful, he recruited many Jewish people that were meant to be into concentration camps. At first, Schindler did not realize what was taking place, but when he did, he fought for all his workers and recruited as many as he could. Saving these Jews was not free however, Oskar Schindler was a very wealthy man but he spent his entire fortune to save these desperate people. In the movie, Liam Neeson played as Oskar Schindler, who i think did a phenomenal job. This movie was quite a long movie, but it was definitely worth watching it. If you have not seen this movie, it should definitely be on your watch list. This movie taught me some important information on how anyone can make a difference. 1,200. That is how many lives this man saved during the Holocaust. Now i know you are thinking "Well that's not a lot compared to the 6 million deaths", but, to have hid that many people in plain sight is extraordinary. Considering it was hard to hide just a few people, this man did the unthinkable. The man that directed this film was Steven Spielberg, a Jew himself was inspired to make this film and he truly did an awesome job.
