During the process called selection, right off the trains, Jews were herded into a section before entering a camp. The Nazis were already informed that Schindler, who was a Nazi, wanted some workers for his factory. Of course, they had no idea that he really was SAVING these people, so they thought he would treat them as bad as they would at a camp.
They asked each Jew their names (if they were a family) and wrote it down and gave the list to Stern, Schindler's accountant.
So, the Nazis gave all the "non-essential" workers to Schindler, who dubbed them "essential."
Stern typed up the entire list, and that's how we know who they all are. :)
