Black and white. That’s how you were told to see, that’s how life was set, eventually though things will change. Oskar Schindler and Elie Wiesel were both on different sides but in many ways they were similar. Living becomes heavy, becomes hard but you must persevere. Elie Wiesel was put on the side of the victim he was hurt and treated like nothing whilst Oskar Schindler was treated like a king.
The novel ‘Night’ written by Elie Wiesel and the film ‘Schindlers List’ directed by Steven Spielberg, are both based in World War 2 and more specifically the holocaust and the attempted cleanse of the Jewish race. These two texts both heavily demonstrate the horrors and brutalities that the Jewish people had faced during the holocaust. The two depictions of these events have many similarities although one being word and the other being film, however they differ in perspective, Schindlers List showing an outside look at the events where Night is a first person experience. The two representations of the holocaust, although are opposites of perspective both do not shy away from showing the brutalities and the wickedness that took
For example, he succeed his first quest for riches, but at the end of the war, he spent everything he made, and managed to save 1,300 Jewish men and women lives. Not too long after his factory, which produced enamels goods and munitions, Schindler's Jewish accountant put him in touch with some of the few Jews that has any remaining wealth. Furthermore, they invested in his factory, and in return, they would be able to work there and hopefully be spared. He was persuaded to hire more Jewish workers for his factory to pay off the Nazis so they would allow them to stay in
A lot of people would look at a 15 year old jew holocaust survivor and a 66 year old businessman and think they are very different. In a lot of ways they would be right.

His first day at the concentration camp, he receives his first extreme shock of death. “Behind me, an old man fell to the ground. Near him was an SS man, putting his revolver back in his holster.” (22) After this, Wiesel realizes how important life is. Not only his, but
The similarities in Night and Schindler’s list are very obvious but one theme comes out in particular. Many people try not to realize what's true when they don’t want to when they see how fallacious it is. In the first few pages of Night by Elie Wiesel a boy discovers the horrors that are happening in Germany to the Jews and tries to warn others what is coming, ”Some even insinuated that he only wanted their pity, that he was imagining things. Others flatly said that he had gone mad. ”(P.7 Elie Wiesel).
I think Oskar Schindler should receive the Medal of Honor. After the anti semitism began, Jews were cheaper to employ which meant companies could save money by hiring Jews. Schindler started off hiring Jews to save money, but after Jews started being sent away to concentration camps he felt the needed to help
As he experiences multiple harsh moments, Schindler becomes a decent, unselfish, and a positive manipulating man. Schindler once said, “War brings out the worst in people.”, but he proves his own statement wrong by himself becoming a better man. As Steven Spielberg directs Schindler’s List, he profusely provides us with great details of how Oskar Schindler’s character has
What was there to thank him for?”(34). The horrific events of the concentration camp are causing
He illegally bought different items off the market and used them, along with his outgoing personality and charm, to bribe high ranking German officers. This ended up working out for him and then was able to obtain a former Jewish enamelware factory to produce goods for the German military. This factory augmented his business immensely. Schindler hired Jewish prisoners simply, because they were cheaper and he was greedy. This attitude soon changed as the cruelness against
Our memorial represents the five to six million innocent Jewish people that were murdered and degraded as humans. For more than six years, the Jewish population in Germany was racially discriminated and became a target by the Nazi party. From roughly 1939 to 1945 Jews and other ethnic groups were ripped from their homes and families and were put into death and concentration camps. The memorial we created presents a serious and moving mood. We hope to bring out the emotion in the individuals who view our memorial by recognizing all the innocent people who lost their lives during this tragic event.
While ordinary citizens can inspire others by performing small acts of kindness, people in positions of authority also have the opportunity to use their abundance in resources to inspire others and spread compassion. In World War II, Oskar Schindler saved over 1,200 Jews from deportation to the Auschwitz concentration camp by employing them, bribing the Nazi officials, and using his connections with the black market. Schindler, despite getting arrested three times, never gave up on the Jews he had employed for his Polish factory, Emalia. He spent his own black market savings of around four million German marks, approximately $2.2 million United States dollars today, into buying food for his Jews; eventually, Schindler died penniless in 1974

He started out tricking people to make money but ended up saving many Jews and his actions touched the hearts of many people.
Socrates and Thrasymachus agree that justice is virtue and wisdom but, it is argued that this conclusion is a weak argument. The discussion between Socrates and Thrasymachus can be separated into understanding why Thrasymachus believes injustice is wiser, than what the nature of both a just person and an unjust person is, and then knowing what the nature of those who are knowledgeable is. By applying the division fallacy and the no-sequitur fallacy it will be proven that Socrates conclusion is weak. Socrates argument, and thus his conclusion, is weak by applying formal logical.
Schindler risks his life and gives up fortune to save hundreds, while Goth sends thousands to their death and even casually snipes Jewish prisoners one morning for sport. These events all display just how easily life can be saved, traded, or taken away, and illustrate the value of remembering how the Holocaust happened. The film encompasses the idea that life only has as much value as those in control deem it to be. Through this focus on the fragility of life, the film acts as a reminder of what happens when good people stand idle in the wake
