    SCHINDLERS LIST

    Part 1-The war begins


    Plot Summary

    SCHINDLERS LIST opens in a Jewish familys home. The Jews are reciting in prayer for
    the Sabbath day around a table full of brightly-lit candles. When the Jews are gone from the
    house the candles slowly burn out.
    The German forces defeat the Polish in weeks. Soon afterward, the Jews are forced out of their
    homes to report to the train station, where their names are registered. Over 10,000 Jews are being
    shipped off to Krakow. People tease and yell at any Jew they see in the street.
    In Krakow the ghetto is overcrowded with Jews. The Jewish people are all gathered together and
    organized into working groups by the Judenrat (Jewish council comprised of twenty-four elected
    Jews responsible for the order). Oskar Schindler visits the ghetto. He is a German businessman,
    who wishes to see Itzhak Stern, a Jew that owns a pot-making factory. Jews are no longer
    allowed to own businesses, so Oskar makes a deal with Itzhak, and plans to take over the factory
    after trading money and appointing him his factory manager.
    It is now March 20, 1941 - the deadline for entering the ghetto. Edict 44/91 establishes a Jewish
    district. All Jews are now forced to pack their belongings and move out of their homes by
    German soldiers. When the Jews arrive to the ghetto, they receive housing assignments and are
    forced to be in tight living quarters.
    The next morning, the people are gathered outside and information on their education and
    working experiences are reported. Some of the Jews that cant be used for work are loaded onto
    trucks and sent off to horrible camps. Some of the Jews that are able to work will soon report to
    Oskar Schindlers factory.
    Under Sterns influence, Schindler has come to feel an empathy and responsibility toward his
    workers, and when the Nazis confine all Jews to a forced labor camp commanded by the sadistic
    Amon Goeth, Schindler volunteers to keep "his Jews" confined at the factory. At his own
    expense, he constructs barracks and strings barbed wire. He apparently creates a outpost of the
    labor camp which in reality is a safe haven from the sinister Goeth, who regularly sends "unfit"
    Jewish workers to Auschwitz.
    Oskar starts to promote his new factory by sending baskets full of goods to many German
    leaders. The Jews begin their work in the factory. They are taught how to make pots and pans.
    These workers are very grateful to Oskar for the jobs because it keeps them out of the camps and
    1

    alive. A one-armed man personally thanks Oskar for his job. The Germans later murder him
    because of his handicap.
    Thousands of Jews are shipped off on a train to a concentration camp. The entire luggage is
    stolen and gone through by German soldiers. By mistake, Itzhak Stern is placed on a train. Oskar
    hears of this mistake and rushes down to the station and desperately retrieves him from the train.
    Untersturmfuhrer Amon Goeth is the German officer that is in charge of the construction of the
    Plaszow labor camp. The Jewish people build the camp, along with Goeths house located inside
    the camp. Goeth is sadistically cruel -- a man that is not reluctant to shoot anybody in the camp.
    He is very angry about the success of the Jewish people, and says that all they have done in the
    past will soon be forgotten.
