It should be remembered that that quote came from the mouth of Joseph Stalin; a demonic monstrosity and mass murderer. Of course there is some truth in what he said, in that the individual tragedy gets diluted in the mass tragedy but thankfully most people can see the horror of both. To Stalin, either were fair game as 30M of his own people found out.

I think it's worth noting that a toddler girl is the literal picture of innocence. The girl in red stands out because she is innocent. She is perfect, a newborn child, old enough to see the world but not old enough to be corrupted by it. And yet, she too falls prey to the atrocities of the holocaust. To tie this in to your theme of humanity, the girl in red serves to demonstrate the emotional magnitude of the monstrosity that was the holocaust. No one was spared from suffering, not even an innocent little girl.

Also it serves as the symbolization on how Schindler viewed the massacre. Schindler's face looks genuinely horrified when he sees a child in the red coat also is not spared from the brutality of that act. Remember before this scene.. Schindler was a womanizer and a profiteer. The girl with a red coat scene (the only color in the film) is the turning point of Schindler's attitude later in the film. Oh. And especially after the scene of "Chujowa Gorka" where Schindler finally seen the aftermath of the liquidation & he noticed the remain of the girl in the red coat..

Elie Wiesel, Holocaust Survivor, said in his autobiographical book about his experience in the Holocaust, Night, that the last sight he ever saw of his little seven year old sister, Tzipora, was her walking away in her little red coat. He was taken straight to the gas chambers when he and his family arrived at Auschwitz along with his mother. He didn’t know it then, but that was the last he’d ever see them. He says that her little red coat was burned into his memory. I always thought, in part, this was a tribute to his experience. Same age approximately of the girl, same innocence, same little red coat, same needless violence and tragedy.

All good thoughts, but fyi the “red toddler” was real. Her name was Genia. Red was her favourite colour and she liked to wear it head to toe. She was particularly fond of her uncle. She was hidden with gentiles outside the ghetto but the gentiles returned her to her family in the ghetto for fear of nazi reprisals when she was 3. She showed some remarkable survival instincts for one so young. Schindler was shocked by the way the nazis treated her and that they didn’t try to hide their atrocities from her. From this, he understood that the nazis expected to leave no witnesses. They would try to kill everyone, down to the smallest child. Genia is the reason Schindler understood the true “final solution” and choose then to save who he could. She inspired the rescue, but she was a person, not just a cinematic technique.

The girl in the red coat represents both an enigma and an epiphany. The observer starts by wondering, "Why does this one girl matter so much," then comes to realize that not only she, but all who suffered with her, truly matter.

I'm red green colorblind, I never noticed this. Thank you

Why is the girl in color? It reminds us that she's a Person, and not just a character in the film. It sort-of drags us back to the reality, the 'life' of the film. It takes you out of the moment, but no more than it takes Oskar out of his horse ride, and stuns him .

Audrey Hepburn had a conversation with Speilberg years ago where she talked about her time in Holland during the Nazi occupation in WW2. She told him about seeing Jews being taken to a train station and how one little girl stood out as she was wearing a bright red coat, I believe this is where he got the inspiration for that scene.

I studied this a lot when I was younger. It's been years since I've dived into that part of history because it's so dark and bleak. I may be wrong, it has been a long while, like I said - But I believe this little girl was the daughter of a prominent and wealthy Jewish judge. She was the youngest child of many. The mother put the bright red coat on the little girl, in case she wandered off they would be able to find her easier in the crowd. I was always under the assumption that she was purposefully made red in the movie because so many survivors accounts of what happened on that day also included this little girl in the bright red coat. She stood out to so many people. It was more than just a few who remembered her in their testimonials. Unfortunately, there was also a survivor of the camp who was forced to dig up bodies for burning who also included the little girl in the red coat in his testimonial.

It seemed like people cared or at least knew she was there, name or not. That is interesting, however very tragic.

The girl in red is just a "highlighted beacon" for the audience to care about *Everyone* else in that situation. The girl is just "one more", but once you really stop to care about her, you unavoidably are "forced" to care about all others.

Heartbreaking...I stopped watching the movie after that scene... I never watched Schindler’s List again....

I remember watching this movie, while in high school. My class (the only sophomores, who had been studying WWII, when it came out), was going to be allowed to go see this on Spielberg's dime. He paid for students who were studying WWII, to go see it. But this one administrator was being a douche canoe, and we weren't allowed to go, with the seniors and juniors, who were also studying. I was so pissed off. This same douche canoe, prevented us, from going to the Holocaust Museum on the day we asked for, instead giving it to someone else (even though we had put in for it, before anyone else). We were so mad at him, because the day that we wanted, was the same day Spielberg was there. We could have talked to him about all of this, but because of one jerk, we never got the chance to. I would have loved to hear him talk about this, but I don't think I will ever get the chance.

Seen this movie in middle school. This particular scene still make me cry like a baby.

Red is often seen as symbolic of death, bloodshed and impending doom; witness its use in Steinbeck's 'Of Mice and Men' in which Curley's wife is dressed in red - she is also doomed like the little girl in Spielberg's film. We can also probably state that on a simplistic level, Spielberg shot this film in black and white to achieve a 'newsreel' effect as a drama-documentary in addition to its effect as a film; it is, of course, a depiction of the novel 'Schindler's Ark' which is supposedly based on true events during World War Two. The idea of using a colour motif - the little girl in red - in a black and white film reminded me of the film 'Rumblefish' with Matt Dillon and Mickey Spillane who are two dysfunctional, warring siblings. This film was also shot in black and white - and the two symbolic, fighting 'rumblefish' are the only items to appear in colour in the film.

At the moment I am reading a book called "The Girl in the Red Coat". Her name is Roma Ligoka. She tells her story in the ghetto of Krakow and how she survived the war. She says that she is the girl in the red coat in the movie

The girl in red WAS highly important to the film because it was seeing this innocent little child die that truly changed his heart . She showed him thus us that no one was spared the horrors of the holocaust, not even the innocent little children. Seeing her be killed showed him the true evil of the Nazi's persecution of the Jews in a way he just couldn't forget or turn away from. It left him changed forever and he couldn't help but act on it from that point forward or he too would be a horrible part of the thing that killed that innocent child. It serves to show why he changed so drastically and exactly the point he went from being a selfish war profiting Nazi supporter and became a selfless protector and hero of the Jewish people who became one of the Righteous Among the Nations. This was the point he went from zero to hero.

Way to be intentionally obtuse and literal. Good work. Yes, we understand the practical reason she was the only thing in color. That’s not the point or the question that was asked. The point is to ask why she was so special that Spielberg felt that he needed to color her coat and follow her? With all that human suffering and cruelty happening on screen (to many children), why should the audience focus on one little girl milling around during a massacre? There’s the sentimental reasons, which illustrates Schindler being overly sickened by what he’s seeing. Another reason is the fact that there really was a little girl in a red coat that many Jewish survivors testified to having seen, including a Jewish gravedigger who had to exhume her body to burn it. She was the daughter of a Jewish judge, and her parents dressed her in the bright red coat so she’d be easier to see if she wandered off into a crowd.

Awesome analysis.

That’s was the spark, the moment he saw something was wrong.

Thanks for sharing, when we picture the people we love in these situations the brutality becomes inescapable.

your cinematic analysis is correct, but the reason for the red girl derives from a testimony of a survivor saying he saw his little girl with a red coat being taken by the nazis. he was observing her getting further and further until she was just a red dot on the horizon fading away. He never saw her again.

I disagree because , actually, in the book a girl with a red raincoat was described ( don´t remember if her name was Nina or Gina). Her parents had instructed her to lie about her ancestry ; so the nazis wouldn´t kill her. Actually, Thomas Keneally, the book´s author changed certain details. Issac Stern, the accountant , for example, in the real case there were 2 Schindler´s helpers. Roma Ligocka is a polish woman who wrote the book ``The Girl in the Red Raincoat´´. She claims to be the real character.When Spielberg went to the Actor´s Studio show, he said he wanted the color to be a symbol of the blood that was shed and nobody did anything about.DH Lawrence had an expression: Never trust the artist.

I hear you. The color red definitely has some symbolism. If you watch the 25th anniversary NBC special between Lester Holt and Spielberg (on KZread, it’s 22 mins long), the question is asked why the girl was in red at the 10 minute mark. Spielberg does mention the symbolism of the color first, but then goes on to say how it showed that it grabbed Schindler’s attention. That mention of attention stuck with me. And on this channel, I try not to just discuss the theme on a surface level… but if I am going to talk about it, talk about why and how director’s decisions impact the viewer. And I know I felt something when I saw that girl in red, just as Schindler did. Therefore, I wanted to focus on the reasoning behind the red. And if you’re not convinced, I’ll leave you with this question: why does the girl lose her color as she hides under the bed… and does it have anything to do with Schindler just happening to stop giving her his full attention?

Yes. But you forget that most film directors will alter certain parts of a novel or playscript to make it visually and dramatically more appealing for the audience ; in other words - to cut out the parts which are cr*p - or superfluous. There are two very good examples of this in cinema history - and both are masterpieces. Firstly, the 1967 film 'The Graduate' with Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft. I read the novel which I think was published in 1964. The film is far superior to the novel which is actually quite poorly written; for example, 'said Benjamin' repeated endlessly in the dialogue. Why not 'uttered' or 'shouted' or 'growled' with a good adverb like 'angrily' or shakily' attached for greater emphasis ? These are basic writing skills which can be taught even to kids writing fiction at primary school level. The film is much darker, too - and it isn't just a 'sex comedy' or a film about a younger man in a relationship with an older woman - and her daughter. It strikes at the very core of cherished American values - and has been hugely influential on films since then. Secondly, the 1972 film 'The Godfather' which I think is superior to the Mario Puzo novel mainly because Francis Ford Coppola cut out the superfluous 'sexy' bits from the novel about Hollywood starlets having their private parts 'tightened up' - or Johnny Fontane's surgery to remove growths on his throat which affects his singing. For sure - he appears in the first film - but Coppola focuses on what this novel is really about and its key thematic ideas; family tensions and rivalries, and the rivalries between so-called Mafioso families as they vie for power and control and adapt to a changing world in post-war America. The music score is great, too !

Actually, I just was refering to the interpretation of the red raincoat; not the film itself. As a matter of fact I disagree with that concept of ``The book is always better than the movie´´. Both are very different tools; and it´s obvious that because of that difference ; the narration also has to be aproached another way. I actually think that it was a genius´idea. Ignore if it was Spielberg´s or Steven Zaillian´s, the writer who adapted the book. It doesn´t really matter. I think that even has a bigger impact, than if the girl had been introduced in an ordinary way. On the other hand, I recommend to watch a 10 minute video called ``The Godfather´s notebook´´. Coppola made what is known as a ``visualization´´, sheet by sheet of the book. That´s why many people used to say that it was one of the best adaptations to film. For example, in the book , there is a description of ``The Turk´´. The novel description´s said : ``Virgil Sollozo had a cruel stare. And in the film , the first time that appears , he looks creepy.

Normal people turning into savages, makes you wonder what people would do in this moment in time.

That's Roma Ligocka. She's a jewish girl in Poland and wrote a book The Girl In The Red Coat about her life. She's well and alive and even watched the screening of Schindler's List and shook hand with Spielberg who ignored her.

The little girl (who is Polish), is now an adult helping the refugees of Ukraine 🇺🇦 any way she can

Apparently, the actress who played the little girl was traumatized, not by making the movie, but by people's treatment of her after it was released. They asked her all kinds of questions about the Holocaust.

this reminds me of Schindler's list. 😭😭

I de-colorized the scenes with the red coat and cut off the beginning/ending bookends, as well as a few other entire scenes throughout the film. I have been a John Williams fan for 50 years, but I wish, too, that this film did not have a musical score. It is a good film, but sometimes Spielberg got too overindulgent.

I think the reason the little girl in red exists is because she humanizes the Holocaust to us. Sadly, we don’t understand tragedies until they happen to us. We can learn the maneuver of the Japanese bombers over the ships in Pearl Harbor and learn the names of the ships that were sunk…but we don’t understand the impact this had on Americans until you hear the story of the chaplain who not only refused to escape the sinking ship but managed to save eleven men and give last rites to the dying. We can identify the Twin Towers in a photograph and watch news broadcasts of that day until our eyes sting…but it doesn’t become real to us until you see the missing posters of the victims with their information on them. We can say “Never Forget” until our throats run dry and read the names on Schindler’s List…but you aren’t moved until you meet one of them and hear them recite their stories. Spielberg understood this. He made the Holocaust real to us by giving the six million victims a face. We don’t see the little girl in the red coat as a nameless victim. We see her as our daughter, our sister, our niece, our granddaughter…someone we love.

Plenty on October 7 too.

Spielberg is a genius.

This is by far the greatest film ever made , I weep every time I see it

A great movie, but I have only seen it once. Can't handle the evil.

Life never ends . Spirit is in a state of grace forever. God did not create the destructible but the indestructible.

This movie is absolute genius. Ever since it came out I watch it every year and cry just as I did the first time.

Now we know that the girl is actually Palestinian.🤔

Aye. I think some very important lessons have been forgotten by those who ought to never have forgotten.

It`s a bit kitschy though.

@@kerrymillar1267 What`s not to get? Art is subjective, movie has some great qualities, no doubt, but to me it`s a bit kitschy, especially that scene with the girl in red.

What grabbed me was that she was so obvious. By the time we saw her, bystanders were so used to what was going on that they didn't even see it anymore...even though it was right in front of them all the time. Seeing her muddy body was like she had succumbed to the same fate anyway. No matter how brightly she shone, no matter how obvious she was, she still got buried like everyone else.
