The story

In German-occupied Kraków during World War II, the Nazis force local Polish Jews into the overcrowded Kraków Ghetto.

Stern ensures that as many Jewish workers as possible are deemed essential to the German war effort to prevent them from being taken by the SS to concentration camps or killed.

Schindler witnesses the massacre and is profoundly affected.
