A list was made of all the Jewish workers Schindler wanted to save from extermination and that he wanted to continue to work for him. He used these workers in his factories, the survivors were of all ages and he saved the lives of over thousands of Jews. The list was typed by Stern and kept to make sure everyone on it was saved. At the end of the film the actual survivors are shown and walk to put stones on Oskar Schindler's grave.
