He liquidated the Cracow ghetto in the film. If your complaint is that Schindler's List - a film about Schindler and Schindler Jews and you think a different movie should have been made about Amon Goeth and the history of Amon Goeth then I missed something.Gas chambers, contrary to popular belief, was not the holocaust. Gassing occurred by many estimates as late as 1944. This film is about one group of people and what happened to them and their savior.
Amon during this specific period is the only thing that matterred.
A lot of people prefer the lone holocaust story from Single perspectives like Ann Frank or a film like the Pianist which have next to no detail on the holocaust or really any of the big picture. It makes for a better human drama - though the Polanski's film managed not to and of course making it a far weaker film in all respects. But that's another story.
