| Plot Summary of Schindler's List |
|---|
"Oscar Schilder moves to Krakow to make his fortune. He uses Jewish workers because they're cheap labor, but treats them relatively well. As he begins to see what the Germany government is doing to them, he uses the wealth he's aquired to illegally purchase as many as possible in order to save them from the death camps."
