    I lived in Germany when this came out in the theaters, and even though I was still learning German at the time, I went to go see it at the theaters. The audience was entirely silent during the whole movie. I was bawling my eyes out and trying to be as quiet about it as possible. When the movie was over everybody got up in entire silence and walked out as if it was a funeral service. The German audience seemed absolutely stunned by the emotional impact of it. I saw a lot of things during the time I lived there, and that audience is something I’ll never forget.

      The Shoah is taught to EVERY German student. The German gov't has placed plaques on the sidewalk in front of homes where Jewish families were forcibly removed by the SS/Gestapo. They also have posted signs in cities around Germany from the 30s and the 40s. It's truly humbling to see. And that's why Germans are so reticent to engage in nationalism. They know where it can lead.

  • @dastemplar9681

    What makes this movie so special is that the entire cast & crew refused to be paid for making it. Spielberg said in a interview that they all saw taking payment as equal to taking ‘blood money’, instead, everyone pooled together what they earned and founded the USC Shoah Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicating into preserving the accounts of both survivors and victims and provide them for educational purposes. Thanks to this film, there was a drastic spike of education programs in the US dedicating into teaching all generations of what the Holocaust was.
    Also, the fact that Oskar Schindler is the ONLY Nazi to buried on Mt. Zion, the most sacred ground in the Jewish faith speaks volumes of how truly amazing and noble-hearted his deeds and efforts were. Thank you Oskar, because of you, over 6,000 and counting people live because of what you did.

      Well, he is partly the only Nazi buried there because usually Germans who have been honored as "Righteous Among the Nations" (638) are buried in their home land, and yes, there were a few who were originally affiliated with the Nazis under them. Not to play down what Oskar Schindler did, but he was hardly unique, a lot of people did what they could, and some had the power to do more than others.

      He wasn't fired because of his cruelty, the cruelty was by design. He got arrested for corruption. The Nazis thought of themselves as heroes for being capable to kill so many people (which they thought was absolutely necessary) without being corrupted. It's an utterly insane line of thinking. Killing millions was fine, enriching themselves while doing it however was seen as bad by Himmler and other leaders. Of course it still happened constantly and only a couple of people who were too open about it got punished. And of course robbing the Jews before killing them was basically state policy. Nazi ideology just makes no sense whatsoever.
      And yeah, they toned Göth down for the movie. Barely a day went by without him killing someone in all sorts of ways. He made daily tours through the camp, randomly shooting people or having them torn apart by dogs. I recommend reading Mietek Pemper's book about it, he was one of the two characters apart from Stern himself that Itzhak Stern's character is based on. He was Göth's secretary and he was very important for the whole rescue operation because he risked his life on a daily basis getting important information from Göth's office.

      You only have to look at what's happening in the world today to see how this happens. The people are tricked by political and social leaders to feel a certain way and over time it becomes normal. In America everything but the far left is viewed as being far right now and public hatred and abuse of everybody not far left is becoming acceptable more and more in public.
      Just a few weeks ago Gina Carano, one of the Stars of the show The Mandalorian, pointed this out when she reposted something pointing out this similarity. The far left immediately started to spin the story saying she compared the suffering of the Jews in Nazi Germany to what conservatives are experiencing today. THIS IS A LIE. Gina's post compared the way the German people were tricked into hating the Jews to the method used today to get people to hate conservatives. She never compared the suffering of the Jews to what is being experienced by conservatives today.
      People need to wake up and see the lies that are being told to them every day. Not just by individuals but by the news media. If you can't see these lies you start to believe them and then you are just a step away from committing horrible acts of hatred against people because you think it's for the greater good. When has hating a group of people ever been for the greater good? That's the logic of evil people.

Human history is a bloodbath, and this Nazi version of atrocity is not unique outside of it body count. Nazis were humans, and you are human.

    Speilberg incorporated the Red Coat from something that happened at Adolf Eichmanns trial in 1961. Justice Bach was questioning a witness who had gone through the selection process at Auschwitz. What the witness said affected Justice Bach for the rest of his life.... This is what happened in the trial....
    “The man told me,” said Bach, “’When we arrived at the camp, Nazi soldiers ordered us into a single-file line. They then sorted us into two lines. I later learned that the people they sent to the right, soldiers marched directly into the gas chambers. Those on the left, they packed into the barracks destined for the work units’.”
    “’I can clearly to this day remember the sounds and images. For my dear wife, they shouted, “To the right,” and my little two-and-a-half year old daughter, “To the right.” My young son asked the guard, “Where should I go?,” and the guard answered, “Okay, young man. You can go to the right with your sister and mother.” The guard asked me what was my profession, and I said I was an engineer. He demanded that I go to the left’.”
    “’I watched my wife and my son fade into the distance and then swallowed up by the crowd, and the last image I can remember was seeing this tiny but bright red coat, the coat I bought my daughter, grow smaller and smaller into a mere dot and eventually evaporate into the distance. This is how my family disappeared from my life’.”
    Upon hearing this at the trial, Bach could no longer speak, a lump gathering in his throat. Following an uncomfortable silence, the judge demanded Bach to continue questioning the witness.
    To regain his composure, Bach began fiddling with his papers, but he could not find his voice for some time. Passing through his mind he fixed on his own two-and-a-half year old daughter, the daughter he had only recently given the gift of a bright red coat.
    “From that time forward, I can be attending a sports event. I can be dining at a restaurant. I can be sitting outside, and suddenly I hear my heart beating loudly. And then I turn around, and I see a little girl or a little boy wearing a red coat.”
    Steven Spielberg heard about this incident from the trial, and contacted Justice Bach for the details. He later incorporated this event into his film Schindler’s List, a movie filmed virtually in black and white - except for a scene where Schindler peers into a concentration camp and among the grittiness, the pain, and the sickness, sees a young girl wearing a bright red coat.

      If you had actually done some research you would know that the nazi party had literally nothing to do with anything left leaning and were straight up arch enemies with socliasts and communists. They used it in their name to trick people, claiming nazis were socialists due to the partys name is like saying north korea or the soviet union are/was actual democratic republics because its in their names.

    The Pianist is another one about The Holocaust that is a must.
    the German officer Wilm Hosenfeld
    then Wilm Hosenfeld saved Wladyslaw Szpilman's life, filmed in 2002 in The Pianist
    Wilhelm Adalbert "Wilm" Hosenfeld (born May 2, 1895 in Mackenzell near Fulda; † August 13, 1952 in Stalingrad) was a Wehrmacht officer in World War II who probably killed at least 30 Polish citizens, including several Jews, during the German occupation of Warsaw saved.
    Hosenfeld became known through the description in Władysław Szpilman's autobiography The Pianist - My Wonderful Survival, which was made into a film by Roman Polański (The Pianist). The Jerusalem Holocaust Memorial Yad Vashem awarded Hosenfeld posthumously the honorary title Righteous Among the Nations in November 2008.
    It was not until 1951 that Szpilman found out the name of his helper and that he was a Soviet prisoner of war. He tried to save him, but Hosenfeld died on August 13, 1952 at the age of 57 in the Stalingrad POW camp.
    In January 1945 he was taken prisoner by the Soviets. Truthfully, he stated that the sports department he ran was organizationally subordinate to Department Ic. This information was his undoing, because in addition to the troop support, this department also performed intelligence tasks. In order to obtain information about his alleged secret service activities from Hosenfeld, he was subjected to "strict interrogation" in the Minsk remand prison. After six months of torture and solitary confinement, he was a broken man. He suffered the first stroke.
    In 1950 he was sentenced to 25 years of forced labor as a war criminal without proof of any offense. Several times he tried in vain to be extradited to Poland. Despite the intercession of those he rescued, Hosenfeld was not released. Paralyzed on one side and desperate, he died on August 13, 1952 at the age of 57 in the Stalingrad prisoner-of-war camp of internal bleeding, probably caused by mistreatment.
    Szpilman did not find out the name of his helper until 1950. In 1957 he visited Hosenfeld's widow in Thalau and told her that her husband had saved him
    the Protestant-pacifist way of thinking of Wilm Hosenfeld
    The Leuphana University of Lüneburg has awarded the Hosenfeld / Szpilman Memorial Prize annually since 2005. Musicological examinations, research work from the cultural and human sciences and studies from an educational perspective can be submitted.
    In October 2007, Hosenfeld was posthumously honored by the Polish President Lech Kaczyński for the rescue of Polish citizens with the order of Polonia Restituta (Commander).
    In October 2008, a square in the Kassel district of Biebergemünd was named after Wilm Hosenfeld.
    The Jerusalem Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem named Hosenfeld posthumously on November 25, 2008 as Righteous Among the Nations. The appointment of the former Wehrmacht officer was made at the request of Władysław Szpilman in 1998 and after years of efforts by his son Andrzej Szpilman. This was preceded by intensive research on the part of the memorial, which ensured that Hosenfeld had not been involved in any war crimes.
    Wilm Hosenfeld's birthplace in Mackenzell was named Wilm-Hosenfeld-Haus on March 11, 2011.
    On February 25, 2018, a memorial stone was inaugurated at the Thalau elementary school. It pays tribute to Hosenfeld's work and is a reminder and reminder for future generations.

    a great film that no one sees anymore or even knows about is “THE KILLING FIELDS,” from 1984 with Sam Waterston and Dr. Haing Ngor, who won an Oscar for his role. The movie tells the true story of the Cambodian civil war and the atrocities of the Pol Pot regime, who was responsible for 2 million deaths.
    Pol Pot was the driving force behind the Cambodian genocide, the systematic persecution and killing of Cambodians that the Khmer Rouge regarded as enemies. The genocide, coupled with malnutrition and poor medical care, killed between 1.5 and 2 million people, approximately a quarter of Cambodia's population.
    “The Killing Fields” is an excellent film that we all need to see, and learn about.
    Dr. Haing Ngor, was also in Oliver Stone’s amazing film “Heaven & Earth,” was murdered in February of 1996.

    I was sad for Ellie here. Because she was so happy at the beginning of the video and I knew that in the end she would be sad and desolated.

      I was thinking the same thing. Clicked on the video, and she's smiling going "Hey guys!" and I thought "Whelp, it's all downhill from here."

      I am happy for Ellie. She has done a great courageous thing, and though exhausting I imagine this will give her life. Compassion is painful but begets a will to live and make it stick.
