    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Schindler's List is a powerful historical drama directed by Steven Spielberg, set during the Holocaust. It follows Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who initially seeks profit by employing Jewish workers in his enamelware factory. As he witnesses the atrocities committed by the Nazis, Schindler transforms from an opportunist into a humanitarian, striving to save as many lives as possible. The film explores themes of morality, sacrifice, and the impact of one individual’s actions in the face of overwhelming evil. Shot in black and white, it emphasizes the stark, tragic realities of World War II and the Holocaust. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “To gather costumes for 20,000 extras, the costume designer took out advertisements seeking clothing. As economic conditions were poor in Poland, many people were eager to sell clothing they still owned from the 1930s and 1940s.” 
      
    “When survivor Mila Pfefferberg was introduced to Ralph Fiennes on the set, she began shaking uncontrollably, as he reminded her too much of the real Amon Goeth.” 
      
    “The original missing list of Schindler's Jews was found in a suitcase, along with his written legacy, hidden in the attic of Schindler's flat in Hildesheim in 1999. Oskar Schindler had stayed there during the last few months before his death in 1974.”
