    Passage 1
    Schindler’s List
     Cinema audiences will see scenes of horror in a remarkable new film called
    Schindler’s List. In the movie, the terror of the Nazi conquest of Poland, and

    Spielberg chose black and white film for his film biography of Oscar Schindler,

    holocaust. And he made a fortune doing it.

    career, but something happened along the road that changed him." Schindler saved

    His heroism put Schindler’s own life in great danger. Oskar Schindler had to
