Steven Spielberg's 1993 film. The German businessman Oskar Schindler comes to occupied Krakow to profit from the war, employing Jewish workers in his enamelware factory - and, as the Nazis liquidate the ghetto and the horrors of the Plaszow camp unfold, uses his factory and fortune to save eleven hundred of them, at last relocating them to a haven in his Czech hometown as the Reich collapses.
