You basically mold a story around the facts. This novel was successful and passed around Hollywood. MCA President Sid Sheinberg saw a review of the novel and sent it to the biggest director in town, Steven Spielberg , who was fresh off the mega-hit E.
Spielberg liked the book, and Universal acquired it for him. But the movie would take another 10 years to happen. Even though Universal acquired Schindler's Ark for Spielberg, he wasn't sure he wanted to be the one who would make the movie.
He didn't feel mature enough for the very serious subject matter, and he was not sure he could handle it. He offered it to Roman Polanski, whose mother died in Auschwitz, but he turned it down.
Then the project was offered to Martin Scorsese , who was attached for a bit and stepped away, doing Cape Fear instead. Billy Wilder , who had lost a number of his family in the Holocaust, was also attached but fell off it.
And finally, Brian De Palma also considered it for a while. As the world changed and Spielberg came of age in the '80s, he found himself drawn toward the project, but for a very sad reason. In the late 80s, there was a rise of Nazism in Germany.
As the Berlin Wall fell, more and more of these voices were given credence. They said things like that the Holocaust never happened, and there was a disturbing poll Spielberg saw that said people did not believe history. Character drew Spielberg into Schindler's story. Although I had heard personal stories from the time I was a child, this was the most compelling, unique story.
Here was this complex man who was not a survivor but a businessman, a Catholic, a member of the Nazi party who, for reasons we will never know for certain, saved the lives of over 1, Jews. But this was a project that was more than just an interesting person. In another interview , Spielberg said, "My primary purpose in making Schindler's List was for education.
The Holocaust had been treated as just a footnote in so many textbooks or not mentioned at all. Millions knew little if anything about it. Others tried to deny it happened at all. This disturbed him and frightened him. He saw a rise in fascism coming and wanted to head it off before tragedy struck again.
So Spielberg went back to Sheinberg and told him he wanted to tackle the project.

Scrooge is a man stuck with his own needs and wants. He only does things that help him. When Bob Cratchit asked for a raise he denied it because money would not be going to him. Ebeneezer Scrooge has little thought for others and lots for himself. The theme of this stave is greed, Scrooge's greed. He cares only about himself and his money.

Oskar Schindler is a good person, but only to a certain extent. Through the Jews point of view he was a safe haven, but to his wife he was a untrustworthy man. He gave the jews a chance to stay alive, he became friends with his accountant but secretly.

Solomon has shown that he had the will to work and take abuse in the camps in order to live the next day. FDR was supported by a large percentage of the Jewish population.
We could have let more of them in as refugees or reached other compromises. On the other hand, we have arguments saying that Hitler, Nazi, or Germany was responsible since they were the perpetrator, and the perpetrator is always the culprit. They did it so naturally their most to blame for what happens, which seems like common sense for most people.
