Schindler’s List (released in 1993) is a historical film adapted from the biographical novel of the same name written by Thomas Keneally in 1982 which looks back on the life of Oskar Schindler. This German industrialist worked to save nearly 1,200 Jews during the Second World War. Doomed to die in the Plaszow concentration camp located in Poland, this member of the Nazi Party allowed them to flee to Czechoslovakia by using his fortune to corrupt members of the SS organization.
