Krakow, Poland during WWII. German national but Czechoslovakia residing Oskar Schindler, a Nazi party member somewhat in name only in it being beneficial to him personally, is an opportunistic businessman whose primary business is selling himself, namely his panache, which he does successfully. Why he is also successful is because he is always in control without really showing it. In the Nazi persecution of the Jewish populace in Poland, he is able to use that panache in convincing both sides to set up a new metalworks business to supply the German military with basics, such as pot and pans, and door hinges. To the Nazis, he is just one of their own who wants to use the Jewish as skilled but cheap labor. Not having the money to start the business on his own, he is able to convince the Jewish, who can no longer own or operate their own businesses, to finance the operation secretly. His right hand man is milquetoast Izak Stern, a Jewish accountant who has the contacts and financial skills for Schindler to accomplish his wants with this operation. Getting extremely wealthy in the process, Schindler faces a hurdle when the Nazi persecution changes from not only segregating the Jewish populace in the Krakow ghetto, but they being either executed point blank or sent to Plaszow labor camp, the kommandant the sadistic Amon Goth. Schindler is in constant negotiation with Goth to be able to continue the business as is. Schindler's view of what is happening changes from becoming wealthy to saving the lives of as many of his Jewish employees, including children, as possible at risk to himself and his own wealth as he sees the indiscriminate and cruel execution of the Jewish populace who he now sees as human beings.
