Schindler's List

on BBC Two England

Steven Spielberg's multi-Oscar-winning drama, based on the novel by Thomas Keneally, starring Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes

In 1939, Austrian businessman Oskar Schindler, a Gentile, comes to Krakow with the idea of getting rich quickly by using cheap Jewish labour in his factory supplying the German war effort. As persecution of the Jews spreads, Schindler, although a close associate of SS officers, finds it worth his while to protect his workers from the escalating evil around him.
