Synopsis
Businessman Oskar Schindler 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 exterminating 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.

Schindler's List: Images of the Steven Spielberg Film
With more than 50 stunning photographs by famed photographer David James, this remarkable keepsake book, printed on high-quality 100# stock, offers readers a never-before-seen look at the filmmaking experience, before and behind the cameras, during the memorable 72-day shoot in Krakow, Poland. Using the same spectacular black and white photography in which the film was shot, James gives readers a closer look at the images that defined the unforgettable film. From expansive shots of the crowded ghettos to intimate portraits of human emotion, this book offers readers a chance to view the epic film from every angle.
The book's publication coincides with the release of Schindler's List on DVD by Universal Studios Home Video on March 9, 2004 to mark the tenth anniversary of the Shoah Foundation, established by Spielberg to videotape and preserve testimonies of Holocaust survivors and witnesses. Schindler's List: Images of the Steven Spielberg Film also marks the first time that the director has authorized a book on the film, and the first time that James' photographs are published in book form. The book is currently available from most major book store chains and specialty book shops everywhere.
