Businessman Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) arrives in Krakow in 1939, ready to make his fortune from World War II, which has just started. After joining the Nazi party primarily for political expediency, he staffs his factory with Jewish workers for similarly pragmatic reasons. When the SS begins exterminating Jews in the Krakow ghetto, Schindler arranges to have his workers protected to keep his factory in operation, but soon realizes that in so doing, he is also saving innocent lives.

The film will be followed by a short discussion moderated by Dr. Vered Sakal (Bertram & Gladys Aaron Professor of Jewish Studies Department of Philosophy and Religion) and Dr. Jess Hench (Department of Leadership and American Studies).
