Film: "Schindler's List"

 

To honor the Memory & Legacy exhibit currently on display at the Multicultural Center, Schindler's List is being shown to help effect positive change in each of us by overcoming racial and cultural divides.

This powerful movie tells the compelling true story of the German businessman Oskar Schindler, who comes to Nazi-occupied Poland looking for economic prosperity and leaves as a savior of more than 1,100 Jews.  A charming and sly entrepreneur, Schindler bribes and befriends the Nazi authorities to gain control of a factory in Krakow by Aryanization, which he staffs with Jewish slave-laborers. Soon he is making a fortune. Among the Jews who work for him is Itzhak Stern, the plant manager, who in his benevolence sees to it that Schindler's workforce includes the most vulnerable and cherished members of Krakow's Jewish community.
