Liam Neeson is one of my favourite actors! He is brilliant This movie is based on a true story! Fabulous watch. My friend Jeff and I did a marathon movie day! This movie is a must watch. Businessman Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) arrives in Krakow in 1939, ready to make his fortune from World War II, which has just started. After joining the Nazi party primarily for political expediency, he staffs his factory with Jewish workers for similarly pragmatic reasons. When the SS begins ext erminating Jews in the Krakow ghetto, Schindler arranges to have his workers protected to keep his factory in operation, but soon realizes that in so doing, he is also saving innocent lives. #oskarschindler #kindess #nogoodcomesofwar #liamneeson #iamstillawoman #schindlerslist #hero
