ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Cinematic master Steven Spielberg's 7-time Academy Award winner is rated a near-perfect 98% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Starring Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley and Ralph Fiennes, SCHINDLER'S LIST is set in German-occupied Poland during World War II, where Oskar Schindler gradually becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce after witnessing their persecution by the Nazi Germans.

SYNOPSIS

Businessman Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) arrives in Krakow in 1939, ready to make his fortune from World War II, which has just started. After joining the Nazi party primarily for political expediency, he staffs his factory with Jewish workers for similarly pragmatic reasons. When the SS begins exterminating Jews in the Krakow ghetto, Schindler arranges to have his workers protected to keep his factory in operation, but soon realizes that in so doing, he is also saving innocent lives.
