Schindler's List is a 1993 American historical drama directed and co-produced by Steven Spielberg and written by Steven Zaillian, based on the novel Schindler's Ark (1982) by Thomas Keneally. It follows Oskar Schindler, a German industrialist who saved more than a thousand mostly Polish-Jewish refugees from the Holocaust by employing them in his factories during the Second World War. Liam Neeson plays Schindler, Ralph Fiennes the SS officer Amon Göth and Ben Kingsley Schindler's Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern, with Caroline Goodall as Emilie Schindler, Jonathan Sagall as Poldek Pfefferberg and Embeth Davidtz as Helen Hirsch. Pfefferberg, one of the Schindlerjuden, made it his life's mission to tell Schindler's story, and Spielberg, unsure whether he was ready to make a film about the Holocaust, tried to pass the project to other directors before deciding to direct it himself. Principal photography took place in Kraków over 72 days in 1993. Spielberg shot it in black and white, approaching it as a documentary, and John Williams composed the score. The film premiered in Washington, D.C., on 30 November 1993 and won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, seven BAFTAs and three Golden Globes. In 2004 it was selected for the National Film Registry.
