Setting

__Setting__

Schindler's list opens up in the city of Krakow, in the year 1943 after the Nazi invasion of Poland. The Nazi's are the leading power in Europe and the jews are in a state of fear and confusion. Eventually the jews are forced to move into a closed-off sector of the town, known as the Ghetto. Oskar Schindler sets up his enamelware factory here.

Eventually, the contents of the ghetto, including the jews, get valued and sent off during the liquidation. At this point, the story follows them to the Plaszow concentration camp, where Schindler moves his industry. Many horrors take place in this camp, including poor housing and nutrition, forced labor and random shootings by Geoth.

Plaszow work camp eventually closes, after which Schindler starts his own mock "labor camp" in Czechoslovakia and uses the camp to save as many jews as he can, instead of forcing them to make munitions. This is where the story ends, because Schindler is forced to leave when the camp is liberated by the Red Army.
