Today we finished Schindler's List. When we picked up, Schindler had just finished his list and his plan to move many Jewish prisoners to his new labor camp. At this point, Schindler has fully changed from a bystander to an up stander. He is spending extreme amounts of money to save the workers, because he must bribe the SS and pay to run his own camp. You can tell that at this point, Schindler hates what the Nazi party is doing, and his goal it to run the munitions factory without producing a single working shell. This is because he wants the Nazis to lose the war, which would free all of the Jews he cannot save himself. When the war ends and Schindler has a talk with all of the people he saved, it is showed that Schindler truly saved people for the right reason, and not to make money. He expresses that he will most likely be arrested because he was connected to the Nazi party and utilized slave labor. This story showed that during this extremely horrific time, there were still some good people who saw what was going on and tried to help.
