Schindler’s List Cast Of Characters Compared To The Real-Life People

Schindler’s List portrays many real historical figures within its narrative, but it doesn’t tell the whole story of its entire cast of characters. The movie depicts the true tale of how German industrialist Oskar Schindler rescued 1,200 Jews from Nazi execution in one of the most stirring acts of humanitarianism during World War II. Schindler’s List begins just before the war and follows the eight-year arc that sees its titular figure “befriend” the psychopathic Nazi commandant Amon Göth and become galvanized into action. It seeks to honor the stories of numerous camp survivors, who recall the acts of cruelty, humanity, and struggle that composed life in the Płaszów labor camp.
