As we are finishing up the movie we heard that this movie is actually based on a true story. There are many scences that are really harsh and hard to believe these really happen. The main character in the stroy, Oskar Schindler was born on April 28, 1908 and died on October 9, 1974 from a cardiovascular disease. From the begining he was an ethnic German and a Catholic, he remained in Svitavy during the interwar period and held a Czech citizenship with its newly established Czechoslovak Republic in 1918. As he was growing up he attended various amounts of trade schools in the city of Brno. He grew up in Catholic well-to-do family with all the privileges money could buy. At nineteen years old, he married Emilie Schindler but depsite being married he was never without a mistress or two. But they remained separated at the time of the war because Shindler wanted to do buisness negotiations and returned to Germany as his wife remained in Austria- Hungary. During the war, he had presided over the demise of his family business and become a salesman when opportunity came knocking. Never one to miss a chance to make money. He made good and smart negotiation/connections He dived headfirst into the black-market and the underworld and soon made friends with with the SS and the local Gestapo, softening them up with women, money and illicit booze. His newfound connections helped him acquire a factory which he ran with the cheapest labor around: The jewish community.
