Historical Points Of Schindler's List

Introduction:
For my film report I chose the movie Schindler’s List. The film told the story of so many Jews whose lives continued because of Oskar Schindler. He used his businesses to create a safe haven for Jewish people and families. He made a list of around 1,200 names, pulling them out of camps to be workers in ammunitions factories.

Using the actual locations in the movie gave a sense of reality to see exactly where these people were forced to live, how they were forced to live. Seeing the way the Nazis treated the Jews horrified me. I never believed someone could do something like that to other human beings.

In the movie, the actual names off of the list were used in the film, names like Poldek and Mila Pfefferberg and many more. Family after family, saved by one man who decided what the Germans were doing was wrong. Even though he knew what he was doing was wrong too.
The third important historical point in this film, how the Jews were treated. The Germans forced the Jews to work and if they did not work fast enough, or well enough, the Nazi’s killed them. One man in this film had one arm, they shot him because he only had one arm and he could not work efficiently. The Nazi’s treated the Jews as if they were gum on the bottom of their shoes. They saw them as disgusting and worthless, but they were people
