The list of life and death

Schindler's List review

A German businessman Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) attempts to save more than a thousand Polish-Jewish refugees during the Holocaust by employing them in his factories. He is assisted by the loyal accountant and business partner Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley). Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes) is an SS officer assigned to build and run the Płaszów concentration camp.

An order to Goeth was rendered to incinerate the remains of all Jews, dismantle Płaszów and ship the remaining Jews to Auschwitz concentration camp. Some memorable lines: Oskar Schindler – “People die, it's a fact of life. He wants to kill everybody?” “He addresses the factory's SS guards] I know you have received...
