This film should be shown in every senior school, every year, in every part of the world as a world history class.
The first time I saw this I was in high school, the history teacher showed the class and we had to write about it. I was surprised they dont all show students this.
@@laynasunshine466 I left school a long time before this was released! My introduction to WW2 came from my father. We had an hour long lesson on the whole of WW2, at the end of the lesson I asked the teacher about the holocaust, 6 million Jews, never mind the rest that was murdered, the teacher said that he didn't believe it had happened!! The teacher left two weeks later. I was steaming mad!!!
@@kiki64allen56 I graduated in 1999 and was surprised how little people knew about this, maybe it is because my grandparents were from that area before they came to america right at the end of the war but still it surprises me that they do not show this in history classes everywhere.
I was 14 when this movie came out and I don't know what kind of deal my history teacher worked out with the movie theater in town but he got my whole class in to see it during school hours. He was also the kind of teacher to jump up onto his desk to shout historical quotes. He was a cool dude.
Too had the Roman Catholic Poles are barely even rarely remembered huh you know how many Roman Catholic Poles were murdered for helping Jews?
Oscar Schindler died in ,in 1974.. His wife Emelie survived long enough to see the movie. she said Liam Neeeson played Oskar perfectly. she said it was a true representation of her husband.
I am a history teacher and back when we could actually TEACH the subject and not blow thru it quickly and only teach for the test that the students needed to pass and have high grades or YOUR job was threatened if you weren’t tenured…. I showed this movie to my class so they REALLLLLY understood what happened … I had 17 year old huge football players in tears! Not ONE of my students in ANY of my classes didn’t cry…. And you know what… they actually now know what happened and understood not only WWII… but what can happen when a monster corrupts a country to actually feel that Jews and others didn’t matter and needed to be exterminated!
I know alllllll of my students know more about WWII and the Holocaust… than the date the war started and ended and who were the Allies and who were on the other side! Which is alllll students are taught now… and it is NOT the teachers fault! So much can be learned from this movie …. So it NEVER happens again…
Bless you teacher
Well said.
Good on you.
I was amazed at how my son's school glazed over the Holocaust as just more dates to remember.
My granddad was a doctor in the Displaced Person's camps, where survivors went after. Every year we had people visit with their families.
These were visits of celebration of life. But they would often go to a quiet corner. I will never understand what they went through.
What has haunted me since I was a kid was that the calorie allowance for a worker in the Krakow ghetto was 800 calories a day. How long could you do that?
How would that effect you?
It's so sad to see how many of these people had no clue that this was based on real events and real people. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that they watched and learned about this horrific time in our not so distant past because to know our history in the first step to ensure we don't repeat it. This is one of the few times when Hollywood got it right...well done Mr. Spielberg!
Filming this movie was extremely difficult on the actors. Most who played the Nazi's would break down crying after every take.
Some people think the saddest thing about this is that heartbreaking scene at the end when Schindler breaks down. But actually it's to see the amount of youtubers who say "is this a real story? I never heard of Oscar Schindler before".
Sad part is that a lot of people don't even imagine the scale of attrocities committed back then by all kinds of people around the world. First part of the 20th century was a living hell in many places. Like, it was not even 100 years ago that people skinned others alive for ethnic/ideology reasons in Europe.
Not just Germany actions in Poland (my own country) but also what the USSR did to those it "liberated from capitalism" before and after the WW2 (including its own people - just check out Nazino Island or the Great Holodymor in Ukraine), what happened when Japanese sieged Shanghai and then reached Nanking...what happened to people in Wolyn in the 40s or the Armenians in Turkey during WW1. Hell, even Croatians - a super warm and friendly people - did so much cruel stuff it would fill you with nightmares...
Saddest part is that most of it is conveniently forgotten, erased from text books or used as a fuel for even more bad ideas...but it was all people who did this and people who suffered through this - people like all of us. All forgotten or even shunned for speaking the truth.
Let's not pretend anyone would know this story if not for this movie or novel.
Not knowing about him is understandable. Claiming this is fictional is not - nor should it be tolerated. There’s a lot of antisemites and outright Nazis commenting on here and on other SL reaction videos. Yet another example of the depravity of mankind.
What really stands out about this film for me is no attempt was made to hide his faults. He was a selfish slimey womanising used car salesman who found something that mattered more than money and more than his own gratification. This is the only thing he ever achieved in his whole life. But despite all his failures as a businessman as husband this one courageous act gave his life a significance very few people have ever equalled.
I have one question. Were you so brave and would you do what Schindler did?
@@stormwatcher4970considering how people are today, probably not
i cant believe how many of these people reacting had no idea that this has happened!
I think they knew about the camps but had no idea Schindler, along with other Nazi officers, saved Jews.
It frightens one, to see how many of these people had no idea that the film was based on reality. What are our schools doing?
Watch the 2ND Part of Dumb Americans by George Carlin.
My daughter, who teaches AP(US) makes sure that her students SEE this movie.
For those of you who don’t know, AP (US) means advanced placement for college credit. The students take a national exam at the end of the year. The exam is given on a day nationwide and those who pass get 6 hours worth of College credit, which is remarkable for juniors in High School. Some students when they graduate are almost sophomores.
Being a a child of parents and grandparents who fled Austria in 1939, I had already known all about Oscar Schindler and what he did. My mom’s mother was Catholic, and my mom’s father was Jewish. My mother and grandmother crossed the border legally. My mom had a stuffed teddy bear which she loved. The Nazis cut open the bear to be sure they weren’t smuggling jewels or valuables. That traumatized my mom who was 5 at the time. My grandfather had to jump the border at night with a friend of his. The Nazis caught his friend, but thankfully he made it across. They had lost at least 20 friends and family from being captured and killed. This was an unbelievable atrocity of humanity that everyone needs to know about. I showed this film to my wife. At the ending, she looked me wide eyed and said, “Oh my god! THIS WAS REAL?!” She cried for an hour. It is so hard for the 21st century mind to comprehend the reality of this. I’m so glad Spielberg made this and showed this to the world.
At the age of 10 I remember my mother had a friend ..she would smoke cigarettes back to back all day long she had a number tattooed on her forearm . I later asked my mom what ever happened to your friend ? She stopped looked at me and said she passed away..later as I got older my mom told me she died from suicide .. she was the same age as my mom so she was in the camp's at about age 15 during the holocaust period. It's sad never forget this .
It's actually mind-numbing unbelievable how many Reactors questioned if this was a True story.
Unbelievable...
I think they were questioning if the story of Schindler was real, not the Holocaust.
@@Wvugirl96 I'm pretty sure that you have no clue what the word 'Apathy' means.
But I'm guessing you're a part of that Generation that made it part of their Vernacular.
Generations survived because of his actions. He was not a perfect person, but when it was needed he stepped up
By far the saddest thing is hearing people ask if he was a real person and were these real happenings?
RIP Oskar Schindler (April 28, 1908 - October 9, 1974), aged 66
You will always be remembered as a legend and a hero.
I’ve read some reactors saying that they were never taught about Schindler in school. I’m 59 and was raised in the Jewish faith. From a very young age, I went to Hebrew school on Sunday mornings, Monday afternoons and Wednesday afternoons. This doesn’t include being there for preschool and daycare. No one was teaching about him because no one knew about him. That’s how so many rescuers were found. Slowly survivors were dying out and they wanted to tell their stories. When I was in Hebrew school, the way they taught about the Holocaust back then was showing us actual documentary’s about it. The only link we had to the Holocaust was The Diary of Anne Frank. So to all you reactors who feel bad for not knowing about Schindler, don’t. No one knew about him until the book was published in 1982.
My Grandad was a doctor in the displaced person's camps. He help quite a few people immigrate. We had lots of Jewish friends & colleagues to the house. Many of the people he helped would come to visit with their families. It was a celebration of life.
I went to Hebrew school although we are Episcopalian. Long story. My bestie was uncomfortable riding the bus alone so I went with her.
The Rabbi thought it was foolish to leave me in the hall.
I only learned of Schindler in college because of the book coming out and my specialized major.
But the many, many stories of survivors, I knew like my son knows Pixar movies.
As our living connections die off, these movies are more important than ever.
Remember watching this in the theater. Hearing people sob at the end and everyone leaving in silence.
It’s a beautiful thing to see you younger people react so emotionally.
Those asking if Schindlers was a real person infuriated me.
When survivor Mila Pfefferberg was introduced to Ralph Fiennes on the set, she began shaking uncontrollably, as he reminded her too much of the real Amon Goeth.
The ending of real-life survivors visiting Oskar Schindler's grave was not in the script. Steven Spielberg had the idea in the middle of filming
There is a Jewish tradition that when one visits a grave, one leaves a small stone on the marker as a sign of respect.
The person who places the flower on top of the stones in the closing credits is Liam Neeson
After filming this movie, Liam Neeson (Schindler) and Ralph Fiennes (Göth) became very good friends.
The film was banned in several Muslim-majority nations, including Malaysia, Indonesia, and Egypt. The general excuse was that it was "unfair" towards Germans (meaning Nazis) and overly sympathetic to Jews. Neo-Nazis in Western countries, including the U.S. and Canada, campaigned for the film to be banned there, but were ignored.
Several actresses broke down when filming the shower scene, including one who was born in a concentration camp.
Kevin Costner and Mel Gibson expressed interest in portraying Schindler, but Spielberg preferred to cast the relatively unknown Neeson, so the actor's star quality would not overpower the character.
I would have thought Goeth would be more up Mel Gibson's alley lol.
@@Apollo890 Sadly yes, I agree
I didn't cry all the way through. The last couple of scenes "I could have done more" and the modern "schindlerjurden" (?) always get to me
Same - that's when I lost it. Liam Neeson was brilliant. Felt too real.
I'm shocked that there are still so many people in the United States who think this is just a movie and not a true story
Everybody on this planet should watch this movie because there seem to be a lot of people who didn't know about it or the background. I remember watching this in cinema and nobody said a word at the end of this and nearly everybody watches the credits at the end. It was like being in a library.
@Jake Folk i think you are one of the people who said that all this was never happen. . Omg what you writing is very disrespectful and rude to the people who lost their lives during this time. and it is also disrespectful to the people who risked their lives to save the lives of others. I can list a few. There are Oskar Schindler, Staufenberg (an officer who tried to kill Hitler), the members of the White Rose who lost their lives trying to warn people, and Franz Jägerstätter who refused to come forward. (he was killed because of it) Father Maximilian Kolbe (the priest died in Auschwitz instead of a family man. Or the people who organized the uprising in Sobibor, where almost everyone fled. There are probably many more that I have. Not listed yet Oskar Schindler was such a man, he saved the lives of a total of 1100 people, when someone writes that it was all made up, even though the story is by no means made up, then I am very sad, but also quite angry.
Never forget Raoul Wahlenberg. He saved tens of thousands, lost to history.
I hope someone gets that story told as well bless all those brave souls
Well then maybe someone should make a movie about him I've never heard of him only Oskar Schindler
I'm sure he was a sweetheart but how is it possible he can be lost to history whilst we are simultaneously talking about him?
Not entirely, prayed 🙏 at his memorial at yard vashem.
A righteous gentile. Indeed, mostly forgotten.
A moving film that needs to be watched at least once by all.
I remember in the theater when they showed the little girl in red dead on the cart a few people couldn't take it & walked out of the theater.
This was based on a man who witnessed his daughter in red disappear into a line of people at a concentration camp never to be seen again.
@@solvingpolitics3172 Actually, it was the niece of the man who has is wife shooted in his arms and whas told « you can join her or join the line ». He was at this time the only family she had left. The little girl manage to escape at this moment because nobody cared about her. He never seen her again but the film don’t be so far from the truth :,(.
He actually probably saved many more. He was purposely mis-calibrating the munitions in his factory so they wouldn't fire or be usable. He may have saved some of OUR grandfathers.
Shan watching movie wonders why Liam isn't doing movies like this?
His wife died tragically. It changes you. It changes what emotions you feel like exploring or opening up.
He had to work for his family and not fall apart emotionally.
Nothing wrong with action movies and honest work. He doesn't owe anyone another Schindler.
2:20 Thank you for mentioning us!!
the movie was... no words can describe it! keep up the good work!
You are very welcome. Thank you for the compliment.
Raul Wallenberg was a rich Swedish diplomat , who went to Romania ( a German ally) to negotiate with the government for the release of 5000 Jews to Sweden . He managed to distribute 15,000 Swedish passports & make good they’re escape . When the Russians entered Budapest in 1945 he was taken prisoner & disappeared forever in the gulags of Siberia . There are many stories of bold courage , both great & small all you need to do is look
God bless you for this
A gentle correction.. he was in Hungary.
You have provided a great service by putting this together- Thankyou and bless you. My cousin went to Auschwitz and died. My Dad was lucky to have had the connections to get out of Germany in time.
You are very welcome.
Never trust someone who didn't cry watching this movie
The people that call anyone fools for not knowing this is based on a true story need to calm down. One of the main reasons for this movies existence was to immortalize the story and translate it to the movie medium to educate people. Let people be educated. Let them be pleasantly surprised by the end if they didn't know it was based off of real life. Let people enjoy shit guys, holy hell
Exactly. I'll never understand someone getting upset because another person learned something new.
Yeah, that frustrates me a little too. Nobody would know this story if not for this movie and the novel it was based on. It'd be a footnote in history, just like many other stories of unsung heroes.
If there's no room in Heaven for Oskar Schindler, there's no room for anyone...
Don't apologize for not knowing this story. Very few people were aware of it before this movie came out. My wife was French and attended a Catholic school in southern France. One day the nuns brought six new children into the class. They told the students that these girls were Jewish, but that they could never tell anyone, not even their parents. Instead, their job was to teach the new girls how to be Catholic in case they were questioned by Germans. So they taught them the "Hail Mary" and many other things, and all six of them survived the war. Not exactly Schindler's List but she did her part and was always proud of it.
That is an amazing story. 🤝
Incredible
He was not just a character, he was a real human being.
And a real hero
I love the Hatikvah at the ending. When I saw that in the movies all those years ago....I cried. And I wasn't alone. And we have failed our children. When I hear them say, this was a true story? That, hit me in my heart.
As a German i have to say, we have to do everything to prevent something like Hitler ever hapen again!!! I am so thankfull for Our Teacher to watch this with us in History Class almost 15 Years ago. Everybody in the Room did cry and everyone was silent. It is a moment i will ever forget my intire life
He saved 1100 people and he thought he didn’t do enough
If you don't weep watching SCHINDLER'S LIST you have no soul...but the worst is when you see that little red coat on that damned cart...I cry my eyes out every time...
I'm shocked that people did not know that it was true story...
FOR REAL!
In 1993, the State of Israel posthumously declared Schindler to be Righteous Among the Nations for the rescue of forced laborers
The list of the Righteous Among the Nations contains people, sorted by country of origin, who were honored by the Israeli Yad Vashem memorial as Righteous Among the Nations for the rescue of Jews during the time of National Socialism.
Always remember:
A selfish man will say he did enough
A righteous man will say he couldve done more
Someone who questioned the nazis said the most shocking thing was the banality of their evil.
How ordinary and everyday and boring they were in reality.How people who probably started out as normal could sink to such depths.
John Williams was approached by Steven Spielberg to compose the music for Schindlers list' "but Steven you need a better composer than I for this movie" , Spielberg replied "you are right, but they are all dead"
I remember hearing that
The letter they wrote did in fact save his life.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
That’s a great saying you should coin that
@@allanfuentes9694 I didn't invent it, but thanks😃
@@utalomAlibbantakat I believe that was sarcasm
@@redsnapper8811 ohh....
Also, FYI, they kept a full staff of psychologists and psychiatrists on set for the actors who played the roles of Nazi’s and they would talk to them between sets. I think that is so awesome of Stephen Spielberg taking care of his cast.
They always say: "That should be taught at school." In Germany it actually is. I saw that movie in school and so my sister did.
I saw it in school in America
A MOVIE THAT SHOULD NOT EVER BE FORGOTTON IN OUR LIFETIME OR ANY FUTURE LIFETIME..
#3 damn right it should be taught in school
Some great reactions, no shame in crying guys, proves your human and it's a great quality, empathy.
The john Williams music is so haunting, every time I hear it, my eyes leak.
We had to watch it in 7th grade back in 1997. It was very moving.
In my school (and if i am not mistaken in my whole state or country) it is mandatory to watch at least once, either in history or religious education.
When it is shown on TV, there are no advertisements in between.
ITZHAK PERLMAN played the solo violin for the movie "Schindler's List." That main theme of JOHN WILLIAMS won an Academy Award for Best Original Score. I'm just wondering...if Itzhak Perlman is in anyway related to any of the characters in the movie (Regina Perlman asking Oskar Schindler to bring her parents, Chana & Jakob Perlman, to his factory).
I learned about the Holocaust in school for a whole year, this was one of the many movies I’ve watched.
@@rhynedemarco7078 No, at least not immediately related. He could be related via extended family. His parents emigrated from Poland to Tel Aviv in the 1930s before WWII. Perlman was then born there in 1945.
I remember back in History class, our teacher arranged to have our next two lessons rescheduled so we could watch this Masterpiece in one sitting!
Oskar sheindler was an amazing man he saved families and generations. God bless Oskar
I’m just amazed how many got all the way to the end before realizing Oskar Schindler was a real person, and that this is a true story.
It amazes me that People dont know this is not fiction. This is history itself from one of the most horrendous times of humanity.
During my sophomore year of high school my high school history teacher showed us real footage of the holocaust and I remember I needed to leave the room bc it was just bodies everywhere and that was too much for me.
I can’t for life of me understand how anyone could believe this didn’t happen.
We were shown the footage from the liberation of the camps. A couple of us were sick afterwards.
Mellverse is right.. it was showed in school when I was younger and should be played in every school so we never repeat history
Mel is one of my absolute favorites on RUclips and I love his honesty during this reaction. It would be so easy to edit out him not knowing the true story but it's actually important to show how many people still don't know, even nearly 30 years after this movie was an award winner
Well said.
I was amazed at how my son's school glazed over the Holocaust as just more dates to remember.
My granddad was a doctor in the Displaced Person's camps, where survivors went after. Every year we had people visit with their families.
These were visits of celebration of life. But they would often go to a quiet corner. I will never understand what they went through.
What has haunted me since I was a kid was that the calorie allowance for a worker in the Krakow ghetto was 800 calories a day. How long could you do that?
How would that effect you?
This movie should be a mandatory watch in high school. With all the hate in this world...well this is what hate becomes when given the power and opportunity.
Try to love your neighbors, but at the very least, give them some respect...
I'm sure Conservative Republican School Boards would Ban it. Because Teaching the Truth is "Woke"!
"whoever saves one life [...] saves an entire world" (Sanhedrin 4:5).
I don't know why I am so shocked that so many people didn't realize that this is a true story 😕
Movies like this always remind me of my dad who was with the 4th Infantry Division that landed at Utah Beach on D-Day. His unit fought its way through France into Germany although my dad was seriously wounded in combat in St. Lo and not able to carry on with his unit. The bullet that took him out of action stayed with him, lodged near his spinal column, for the rest of his life. Yet, he never complained about the recurring pain in his back that often laid him low. Perhaps because he saw so many of his comrades-in-arms suffer even worse fates, including death.I can't help but be proud of him for the part he played in ridding the world of the nazi menace.
How do these people not know its a true story🤯
Because they dumb, just making money reacting to videos. Pathetic
Cuz history lessons in our schools suck
Probably not taught in schools.
The black and white is used in 3 ways: 1 It and the color scenes all have metaphorical significance, 2 It makes you feel like you're watching media from the time, 3 if it was in color it'd be unstomachable
It also helped to draw absolute focus to the color of the jacket and the candle, which embody cruel death and unstoppable hope respectively.
Do you mean blood?
This should be mandatory in every school for teenagers to watch
This film truly testifies the Holocaust and Steven Spielberg delivered it so well, this is by far his best film
I like the scene where it kinda hits schindler what hes done saving so many lives and having kinda survivors guilt - good acting
I watched all of them and seeing them now combined is nice.
Thank you very much.
I just regret that Hollywood never thought of making a film about the greatest hero of all , saving 30,000 Jews , his name ARISTIDES SOUSA MENDES , Portuguese , at the time consul in Bordeaux who saved around 30 thousand people from death by issuing visas to pass to border , even though it was closed by the Portuguese government , he went against the order , later being dismissed from his position and never being able to hold any position again , dying in poverty
I believe that this movie ruined that Portuguese story of ever being made, since there would be made comparisons.
It is comforting to me to see how much each of these individuals felt the emotion of the movie. I too cried. It is a most powerful movie. I hope such a time never occurs again.
2:33 Schindler actually uses the letter, and gives it to a US Army Rabbi, to get himself out of trouble. He was about to be sent to prison until the letter saved him.
And never EVER ELIE Wiesel. Nobel Peace Prize laureate. The latter part of his life was devoted to helping immigrants. He famously said, “Illegal? How can a person be illegal? Undocumented? Sure. But illegal? No!”
So wonderful to see so many young people watch this movie and be moved by it. Learn lessons from it. Therein lies hope for humanity within these people and the future.
It's good to see the almost universal reaction to this master piece. It renews my faith in humanity. We are all people. Nothing good will ever come from teaching hate.
No matter how many times u see this movie, back 2 back, that last scene will make cry on the inside or the outside
This film was mandatory to watch in my high-school. I graduated in Baltimore City school in 1995. Many complained about it and I believe that's why they stopped showing it. I do feel it's important to see it. It was also mandatory to take a trip to the holocaust museum in DC. The experience was brutal, but it is very important. It's important to learn from history.
I was 15, about to turn 16, when this movie released. I remember not being sure if I wanted to see it even though the trailers for it were very captivating. I still cannot say what made me end up watching it but it left an everlasting impression on me and I have never forgotten it, not only is it a great and beautifully made period piece and one that I hold in high regards, it's one that I tell everyone that they should see at least once.
THIS is the best Schindlers List "Reaction on YT by a mile A editing masterpiece.
Thank you very much.
It should be required for these reactors to Know this is a true story Before they watch it. I don't think anyone can get the full appreciation of the importance of this film until they know that. All the statements of Liam Neesons acting is because it isn't all acting. He was drawing on his heart and true emotions. That is what made his performance in this film so great.
He's in HEAVEN 😇
Truly the most gut wrenching film I have ever watched. I have viewed it twice, attempted to watch for a third time a few days ago, but I just couldn’t stomach it, you never become hardened to the atrocities and I am glad of that. The finest movie ever made. Superb acting and directing. Everything is flawless. If any human being can sit through this masterpiece and not be deeply moved, thenI believe they have no soul. Oskar Schindler is a freaking hero. RIP.
It is heartbreaking! How could people be so heartless?😭
8:22 Years later one of the Schindler Jews asked Oskar what happened to the gold ring. Oskar said he lost it. When asked how, Oskar said "Schnapps."
Somewhere in my parents' house is a signed copy of the novel. Thomas Kinnealy spoke at a bookstore in the late 90s, and I went to see. If I remember correctly, he met someone who knew one of the Schindler Jews, and he was intrigued by the story. He went out to interview them.
truly horrible times, I watched this movie in the 8th or 9th grade, like most of the german kids do in school, also as visiting the concentration camps ... all we can do is not forget, may those poor souls finally rest in peace
I can't that so many believe people aren't aware this is a real story. It's actually sad to think that one day Oskar may be totally forgotten.
God will remember him. 🙏
A film I'm watching once every year and it touches me every time.
Makes me sad that some people didn't know this was real. Nice work education system.
The thing that gets me about this last scene is how he keeps thinking what he should have sacrificed to save more people. I see that, and then I look at ministers in America, living in houses that cost millions of dollars, and I wonder if they ever wonder what more they should sacrifice to bring one or two more people to the Kingdom.
I 100% agree with you. So called TV preachers (most of them anyway but not all) and many preachers not on TV are not true men of God. All they care about is how much money they make. They will one day look in the face of Jesus and pay for this. . My preacher lives in a modest house who truly loves God and people and there are many preachers in the world like this.
The real power of this ending doesn't come from applying it to the hypocrites we see around us... It comes from applying it to ourselves. Using it as a searchlight in our own souls, until we ourselves realize, "I could have got one more person... and I didn't. I didn't." 💔
These reaction videos prove most people are decent and kind.
I was amazed at how my son's school glazed over the Holocaust as just more dates to remember.

What makes me saddest isn't that Schindler didn't get more. It's that humans actually put other humans through horrors that Schindler actually saved them from. We got a glimpse of Auschwitz. I can't imagine being so scared for your life that you're literally shaking. And simply because they're Jewish
There's a series of videos by the Shoah Foundation interviewing actual Survivors and Liberators in the 1990s. They tell you what their life was like before the war, what happened and how they survived.
Except one side of the war murdered 6 million Jews, 2 million gypsies, 1+million gays. The horror is that, yes, they were just people with families. The horror is that any one of us is capable of committing atrocities. This is why we should never forget.
And 24 million Russians died.
And Germans who didn’t agree with Nazi ideology, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and handicapped people of any kind. To the death camps they went.
I first watched this on LaserDisc. Due to the film’s duration it was split into 4 sides of the discs. There were so many powerful scenes, I cried on every side of the discs. The most powerful scene was the girl in pink coat, the only colored part of the film, then Schindler’s farewell, and the end credit where tombstones were made into pavements.
It was meant to feel like documentary. It's a gut-wrenching experience that I put myself through twice a year
It feels nothing like a documentary.
Yes, you're right Homies #6: hopefully somewhere in the world at a time of horrendous barbarism there is a counter-balance of supreme goodness to alleviate the physical pain, mental anguish, loss of lives, fortunes, families, memories.
What Williams's score and these musicians have done with this song has captured not only the movie, obviously, but the un-Godly reality of the pain, misery, and suffering of the victims of the Holocaust itself. With every stroke of the violin and note from their instruments, ...a cry!
Its really sad that some people didnt know this was a true story. The American education system at its finest.
really shows how cut off from reality and outside of usa the americans are
But not just Americans, quite a few of these young people from different areas of the world had no clue this was a true story about real people. As several said, this should be taught in schools. It is in some schools, in my junior high school, years before Spielberg tackled this, my history class showed documentary footage of the Warsaw ghetto. I saw a cart piled with bodies, and one of the dead fell off the cart. The workers just picked up and tossed the bodies back on the pile, and the matter of factness, the treatment of the dead as garbage? That broke me, and I was shocked and nauseated. These kids should have heard all this years ago, but better late than never. And I applaud their compassion and grief.
First and only time I learned about the Holocaust was when I was in about 6th grade reading the book Number the Stars.
Watched this is high school history class. I can't tell you how much ot resonated back then. Spielberg nailed this like no one could've.
