the untold story of Schindler's list
Tells the story of how Schindler's List came into being. Oskar Schindler, a German businessman, spent his personal fortune to save 1,200 Jewish prisoners from certain death during the Holocaust. His list was made possible by a secret strategy designed by a young Polish Jew, Mietek Pemper, at the Plaszow concentration camp. Pemper's knowledge of the German language was put to use by the camp commandant and Pemper became his personal stenographer. Once Pemper gained access to classified documents he was able to pass on secret information for Schindler to compile his list. After the war, Pemper was the key witness for the prosecution of his camp commandant in 1946.
