A sad fact: Some survivors watched the movie and they've been asked what they thought of it afterwards: They said it wasn't brutal enough. Amon Goeth was more evil, the guards, the stuff they were doing to them... The things that are shown are toned down and still this movie is such a gut punch.

It is sad. Speilberg toned down Goeth because he thought audiences wouldn't believe it was real. That he just made it all up for drama. But it was real. He did teach his dogs to chase and kill them. I don't know what's sadder, the fact he omitted it, or the fact he's right--no one would have thought it was real.

@robert punu it's not true, so that question isn't much good. Ignoring all the ways you can prove the curvature of the earth, here's a few easy ones- why are the stars on the sky in Australia, or anywhere in the southern hemisphere, totally different than the ones in the northern hemisphere? How about lunar eclipses? If the earth was flat then the eclipse would have, at least sometimes, a wedge shape and not cover the moon. Why does the sun take many hours to pass over the earth? If it were flat, it would be day and night at a consistent rate instantly, or nearly instantly. Instead, there are time zones. Sure, you might not be able to feasibly fly over the poles looking for the wall, but just international travel or even just communicating with a person in an international location can confirm these.

@robert punu " the stars look different in the sky in Australia than in the US because, you're seeing them from a different angle or location on the flat earth." This is just silly and doesn't pass even a basic logic review, movement on a flat plane would not obscure or reveal ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CONSTELLATIONS. "the sun takes many hours to pass over the flat earth because it is vast. and it lights up only half of the flat earth while the other half is dark; day and night." A basic experiment with a light source and a flat plane would prove how stupid this is, the sun does not emit light in a tight cone. As for "seasons" on a ball, earth is tilted on its axis relative to the sun, this exposes different parts of the globe to more or less sunlight. Your "rotisserie model" actually follows this if you were to rotisserie a chicken in the same manner as the earth tilts on it's axis- which is a rather funny kind of irony, even your own experiment would show this.

In the next moment I noticed a little schoe that could only belong to a child not older than 2-3 years old. I remeber bursting in tears. After the trip we where so schoked that our group of 10 girls slept in the 2 bed bedroom huging eachother for the next 3 days ... Now Im 28 but this place is still vivid in my mind...

The scariest and most heartbreaking scene for me was when their clearing out the Ghetto, an SS officer plays the piano and two other soldiers briefly discuss whether he was playing Bach or Mozart. It just shows you these weren’t demons or monsters. They were men, educated men, men with families, men who knew what love is, men who knew what peace is, men who believed in God. And that is what makes them so terrifying, for they decided to inflict this horror upon the world. They chose to kill rather than spare. They chose evil and hatred, rather than stand for what is right.

I first saw this film in an AG history class in high school. At the end of the film the teacher turned on the lights and ask the class, "what do you think?" I started crying uncontrollably and said, "I kept hearing my name!" My last name is Horowitz. I fucking love this film.

Well done Lia and Viki. Your humanity shines throughout this reaction. ❤

No type of media depicting the Holocaust is as impactful as the actual footage and photos you can see in museums such as Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. But as far as feature films go, you have to give Spielberg tons of respect for choosing to make such a harrowing yet beautiful film that was personally important to him. The only real gripe people have is the fact that it’s in English rather than subtitled, but other than that it’s a masterpiece

here on KZread is a 10-part docuseries from CourtTV on the Nuremberg trial. The series features part of the 2.5 hours of footage taken by Army photographers while liberating the camps. I think this movie does the best it realistically can…. I know in Band of Brothers they have cancer patients playing inmates, because they have a degree of that look. But to look like the people in the real footage, the actors would have to starve themselves nearly to the point of death. And I remember hearing that they had to tone down the Ammon Goeth character, bc that soulless entity resembling a man was SO evil, SO sociopathic, SO sadistic that most people would think “this CANNOT be true.., this MUST be an exaggeration

The Schindler Jews who were setting stones on his grave were accompanied by the actors who portrayed them. For a long time, I've always thought it was Steven Spielberg who directed the movie that placed the rose, but it was Liam Neeson who played Oskar Schindler.

This was a story of hope, and an important story to be told. There is a massive amount of horrific stories, books that will turn your hair white off true atrocities committed. "The musicians of Auschwitz ", "Elle" and many more written by survivors. It's more prevalent than ever before today.

if you ever wonder why there's so many holocaust movies, books, television shows and never ending references to it in your everyday life you might understand what's really happening.

Twelve years ago, a Holocaust survivor came to our workplace to give a discussion about her experiences in those terrible death camps. She wept throughout the entire talk and spoke movingly about how she would sing nursery songs to her little sister, in the most barbaric conditions imaginable. After eight decades, she was still haunted by the experience. Her sister didn't survive, but she gave many inspirational talks about the evils of fascism and racism. "Schindler's List" should be mandatory viewing in all places of education.

Yes, this was a rough movie to watch. Feeling all the emotions is hard but I’m glad you were able to get through it. As the old saying goes “never forget”.

A couple of interesting facts of ww2 - all the SS uniforms were designed by Hugo boss, Hitler is credited with designing the VW beetle, because he stole it from a jew and had him killed.

Oskar lived in poverty, and his marriage fell apart after the war. However in a twist of fate, his workers that he saved, financially supported him for the rest of his life. It wasn't much, but it's all they had to thank the man that saved their lives.

My grandfather did not talk much about his experiences in World War II. But one of the few times that he did was toward the end of his life when he spoke of how, as part of the American Third Army, he helped to liberate the slave laborers at the Buchenwald concentration camp. My grandfather usually never cried, but he did when he talked about all of the sick, malnourished survivors of the camp who met him and the other liberating American troops with tearful gratitude.

Your emotional reaction has brought me to tears. 54 years old and crying like a little kid.

Oscar was known for having lots of children and women when he was questioned why th he told them in order to make bullets bc they have small hands. Also they made many of the weapons not work so whenever a someone was being shot they would have a chance of geting away. God bless all the people affected in the holocausts. NEVER FORGET!

Reacting to an opponent like that with 'humanity' is, ultimately, a weakness that the IJA and IJN openly exploited to the detriment of their own people- they made it impossible to react to them with compassion. This is NOT to justify objectively wrong actions like internment, but rather a realistic perspective- trying to 'play nice' just got more people killed. Thankfully, the war ended and humanity was able to return to the table.

The most masterfully put together movie I've seen. The very fact that we don't even meet the main villain until 45 minutes in is just one testament to the confidence with which Spielberg took his time to tell the story his way (and had the status by then to get things his way). So, by the time bad things start happening, they're so much more impactful because we've kind of been lulled into letting our guard down by the slow buildup, and also because we 'know' the people it's happening to. A lesser movie would have felt the need to bash the audience over the head with shocking scenes of violence, right up front, to much less effect. And the way that he weaves in and out of the opposite extremes without ever losing the shock value of the worst parts is incredibly difficult to do in this age of jaded, over-saturated, over-sophisticated viewers.

In reality was it harder and more terrible. The part about Amon Göth was lighter, because nobody would have believe the things that he actually did. So he caught a woman, she has eaten a potato and she was thrown in boiling water.

In the 1990's, Steven Spielberg produced and directed three movies that each juxtapose the horrific villainy of some humans against the soaring heroism of others. Though their subjects and stories are unrelated, I believe they should view as a set; "Schindler's List", "Saving Private Ryan", and "Amistad". It was only the successes of the first two that allowed him to believe that the third movie was possible.

And at the end, Liam himself put 2 roses on the grave.

I remember seeing it when it was released and hundred of people in the theater crying. Yes we must keep history alive because there are so many that deny it happened.

The girl in the red coat is one of the saddest and most gut wrenching moments in the history of film, and most people miss the significance of it. The one bit of colour in the whole film is that red coat, as Oskar sees her walking down the street alone, seeming to be looking for her parents, the sad thing about this is missed by most people who watch the film, because later when Oskar is talking to the German officer in front of the burning fields and you see carts full of bodies being pushed towards the fires, one of the carts has got that little girl with the red coat lying dead on top.

@Ashid Mikeks Go and visit Auschwitz. Birkenau's Death Gate, shown in this movie still stands, and so does the camp itself. Parts of the land around the camp and inside it are still marked by human ash three quarters of a century later - over a million people were cremated there, and most of their ashes that went up the chimneys of the Kremas fell back close to them. The ruins of the four large Kremas have been left as they were. The two "bunkers", which served as prototype gas chambers and stayed in use throughout Birkenau's tenure as a death camp. And pile after pile of personal belongings that were sorted but never shipped away for lack of capacity, and kept in the "Kanada" warehouses. The Shoah was real. It was the worst example of organized mass murder in history. Its stigmata are still visible, mostly in Poland, where most of the death camps were built by the Nazis. And the worst part is, the five and a half million Jews murdered throughout the war by the Nazis are barely a quarter of the number of the civilians the Nazis killed in six years' worth of various extermination campaigns. Europe's Jews, however, hold the unfortunate distinction of being the population whose extermination the Nazis prioritized the most and organized "the best".

I read a story from somebody's grandfather who served in a US regiment that liberated a concentration camp. It was a user in the youtube comments who had posted it (keep in mind, the US forces who found said camps had no idea what went on in the camps and most suffered PTSD after witnessing the brutality that happened there) : After witnessing what the germans had been doing to the prisoners in the camps, the american soldiers were so angry they started enacting their own vengeance by shooting any german soldier / officer they found against orders. When a corporal asked said grandfather why the soldiers were also shooting prisoners he told them "They're not prisoners, they're german officers in prison clothing. You can tell by their healthy faces and bodies." The US higher-ups didn't court-martial anyone for this act of vengeance. There's another movie about the the Nuremberg trial (the sentencing of officials responsible for the genocide) , starring Alan Rickmam, where for about 1-2 minutes they show actual footage of the concentration camps - dead bodies in massive piles, mass graves and germans bulldozing bodies into them. This nightmarish period of history is being lost to time now that the last vets are passing away and the new generations can't even fathom such brutality.

The Reich was meticulous and diligent about documentation, so even their burn orders couldn't erase what they'd done.

For me, the most powerful moment in this ASTONISHINGLY powerful film is when the real people he saved went to his grave.

One piece of trivia: when Steven Spielberg was finally getting his BA in film from Cal State University 34 years after dropping out, he submitted this film for his advanced filmmaking class. He passed.

When the ring falls from his hands, the way Oskar takes it back tells everything... He was a selfish prick, full of himself, a womanizer who cheated on his wife, a bit of alcoholic but with tremendous social skills and very smart of course and if not because of the war he probably would had never changed but at the end he showed as a human full of compassion above other things. And he really risked his life doing this because he was part of the SS. He used all his wealth, negotiation skills and persuasion to save them. What a man.

An actress who was the “girl in the red coat” in “Schindler’s List” has turned real life heroine by coordinating help for fleeing Ukrainian refugees. Oliwia Dabrowska appeared in Steven Spielberg‘s 1993 classic aged just three - her red coat providing the only flash of color in the black-and-white Oscar winner. Her character, a little Jewish girl, was the catalyst that saved the lives of more than 1,200 Jews destined for Nazi concentration camps in 1943. And now Oliwia, 32, from Krakow, Poland, has taken inspiration from Oskar Schindler and is helping those fleeing war-torn Ukraine.

Schindler's List is probably one of the most powerful movies ever made, and Spielberg's best. Another great movie to watch based on a truly great man is "Gandhi" (1982). It won 8 Academy Awards, including Best Actor for Ben Kingsley, who portrayed Itzhak Stern in Schindler's List. Hope you get the chance to watch it someday -- A great movie with an amazing performance.

By all reports the actor is a very nice guy but once in character ... well, you saw the result. A fantastic movie. Liam Neeson at his BEST.
