Schindlers Liste: So war es wirklich! | Geschichte

And you? What is your favorite historical movie? For me it's definitely Schindler's List, a movie that came out in theaters exactly 25 years ago. I think I saw it for the first time in '99 and this movie just blew me away. The first time I really understood what the Holocaust really meant, the murder of millions of Jews. This film is very long and tells the story of Oskar Schindler, a National Socialist industrialist who employed Jewish forced laborers during World War II and eventually. saved these forced laborers by putting them on a list Schindler's List but who was this Schindler this Oskar Schindler did this list really exist what is true about the film and the basic fictions that is what it is about now September 1939 with the German attack on Poland the second World War begins.

And then much of Poland is occupied by the Wehrmacht, including the Jewish-dominated city of Krakow. Immediately after the Nazis take power, the Jews are systematically expropriated and deprived of their rights. Offered for sale to the Germans The ambitious businessman is also interested in a factory of this type. Oskar Schindler is trying to buy the proposed company, an email or foundry factory, and wants to produce pots and plates for the Wehrmacht there. He is rich from the war, but to implement his plans he needs two things. Oskar Schindler already had influence and help in the past. He worked in defense for the German secret service.

He knows how important, above all, the right contacts and relationships are. Within the Nazi power apparatus, since January 1939 Schindler has also been a member of the Nazi Party, so he also contacted Nazi and SS circles in Krakow to obtain personal advantages, but despite strict prohibitions on the Nazi worldview. Schindler is also seeking help from the youth council. He then comes into contact with experienced office manager and businessman Itzhak Stern Stern, who gives Hitler crucial advice on how to run the Ford company in the easiest way possible, but unlike it. In Spielberg's film, he should never work in Schindler's factory; rather, he was the Jew Abraham, a banker who ran Schiller's factory and also dealt with the intake of Jewish workers.

At first, the admission of mainly Jewish workers for Schindler. A purely question of Jewish costs. The workers were much cheaper, the Polish workers because they were not seen as normal workers. Jews were also more trustworthy than Polish workers because their own survival was often tied to their work and their business was then declared to be important to the company. war effort, which meant that the Nazis did not use his company's workers. Schindler could simply dismiss them. In this way, Schindler saved many of his Jews from persecution. Another confidant of Schindler was the Jewish politician Pfefferberg, who had been an officer in.

During the war, he had joined the Polish army and arrived in Krakow. He had to work as a translator for Schindler and establish contact with the Krakow black market. During the war, everyday items such as saucepans and containers were in short supply due to sheet metal. It was intended primarily for Americans. In addition to official orders for the Wehrmacht, Oskar Schindler managed to make a fortune, especially on the black market, and with the help of the Jews Oskar Schindler changed everything that drove the selfish businessman. to become the savior of the Jews and opponent of the system from which he himself benefited so much.

Well, Schindler got what he wanted, his get-rich scheme was gone, he didn't have to worry about the Jewish workers. And he did it anyway. On March 13, 1943, the Krakow ghetto, in which until then Jews lived in football conditions, was forcibly evacuated by the SS. In Spielberg's film, Schindler's transformation occurs. sight of the little girl in the red coat trying to escape the horror that changes Schindler's indifferent attitude. The girl in the red coat really existed. Geographically speaking, however, there was probably no such sudden moment. Oskar Schindler, of course, realized the harassment that his workers were suffering. Schindler did not support all this because of his proximity to the SS, but he must have known about the Nazis' plans and his terrible fate.

Most historians agree that Schindler knew about the war and the occupation and wanted to benefit from the racial ideology of the Nazis, but he did not follow them. He did not see Jews as subhuman beings. He was allowed to feel sympathy for the Holocaust that occurred around him, embodied by the character of Amon Göth. He was the SS commander at the labor camp they were sent to after Amon Göth was cleansed. in the film as more harmless than he actually was. Why are the cruelties of the Nazis not portrayed without embellishment? That's exactly what the film sets out to do.

At first it sounds logical, but it has a psychological aspect. Which is why the short actions were so perverse and sadistic that the viewer would perceive them as constructed, impossible and unthinkable, the truth here is so far from what we believe possible that the credibility of the film would suffer because of this the real Goethe has with Wearing a Tyrolean hat and white gloves, they shoot at random at the inhabitants of the countryside like a hunter shoots from his position at the game. It's just amazing how inhuman a person can be. Here too Schindler walks between two worlds. with Amon Göth and tries to win his art through gifts, mainly brandy.

Behind his back he has his secretary inform the Jew Mietek Pemper about the situation in the camp. Schindler bribes the ISS with gifts to improve the lives of his workers. He walks and Schindler himself puts himself in direct danger more than once in late 1944. The camp area is evacuated due to the rapid advance of the Red Army. The SS have minor Jews murdered in the nearby Auschwitz extermination camp. new email factory in his hometown and bring as many Jews as possible to the West with him. Where Schindler spent huge sums of bribes to relocate his Jews, in this situation the famous Schindler's list was created in which those who had to be saved were recorded as young or one of the many lists, because over the years various lists of this type were created by secretaries of state or Abram Kiefer.

For the dramaturgy of the film, Schindler himself had to be able to dictate from memory the numerous names of his workers and, which is also important for the dramaturgy. In the movie there is only one list, the truth is, as I said, there are many in 1999 that you had in your last lover's attic. Schädler found another list, we wrote down all the bribes and gifts that Schindler gave to the SS. Thanks to his efforts, more than 1,100 Jews were able to save Schindler and his wife, many of them again in the final months of the war, including the Polish Pfefferberg, who thanks to Oskar Schindler survived the Holocaust and emigrated to the United States in 1980 and He transmitted his notes. about the man Oskar Schindler to the author of the book Thomas Keneally, who later wrote the novel Schindler's Ark.

This book was to have a significant influence on the blog's film Schindler's List. According to Spielberg, Schindler's message is more important today, in the 90s, when the film was first released and brought Oskar Schindler to the attention of a large audience, many viewers see Oskar Schindler as the equivalent of the unscrupulous executor of orders, for others he is the good German who, despite the need to remain part of the system. However, Schindler acted according to his conscience, and yet Schindler remains an exception. The date of the new release of the film, since it was slightly improved, was not chosen by chance, since January 27 is the day when the Red Army liberated the prisoners. of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in 1945.

Since 2005 it has also been the international day of remembrance of the victims. What would no longer be interesting is what Oskar Schindler thinks: yes, in reality he just wanted to have a lot. money for himself and he also saved people or do you think he finally followed his conscience and did good deeds as a result?
