Schindler's List depicts the true story of Oskar Schindler, a German industrialist who saved 1,200 Jews from Nazi death camps. After the war, Schindler faced financial issues but was helped by those he saved from the death camps. Oskar Schindler died in 1974, aged 66, and was buried in Jerusalem, as per his request.

The story of Oskar Schindler is memorialized in the 1993 award-winning historical movie Schindler's List. Regarded as one of the greatest movies ever made, it depicts the true story of how a German industrialist risked his life during World War II and rescued 1,200 Jews from the Nazi death camps. With its use of black-and-white cinematography, horrifically realistic portrayals of the war and Holocaust, and critically acclaimed performances, Schindler's List is recognized as one of the best movies that offers insight into the terrors of the Holocaust.

The movie is adapted from the 1982 book Schindler's Ark by Thomas Keneally, with Steven Spielberg...
