Schindler's List Movie Description:
Businessman Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) arrives in Krakow in 1939, ready to make his fortune from World War II, which has just started. After joining the Nazi party primarily for political expediency, he staffs his factory with Jewish workers for similarly pragmatic reasons. When the SS begins exterminating Jews in the Krakow ghetto, Schindler arranges to have his workers protected to keep his factory in operation, but soon realizes that in so doing, he is also saving innocent lives.
Schindler's List is a 1993 American epic historical drama film directed and produced by Steven Spielberg and written by Steven Zaillian. It is based on the 1982 historical fiction novel Schindler's Ark by Australian novelist Thomas Keneally. The film follows Oskar Schindler, a German industrialist who together with his wife Emilie Schindler saved more than a thousand mostly Polish-Jewish refugees from the Holocaust by employing them in his factories during World War II. It stars Liam Neeson as Schindler, Ralph Fiennes as SS officer Amon Göth and Ben Kingsley as Schindler's Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern.
Ideas for a film about the Schindlerjuden (Schindler Jews) were proposed as early as 1963. Poldek Pfefferberg, one of the Schindlerjuden, made it his life's mission to tell Schindler's story. Spielberg became interested when executive Sidney Sheinberg sent him a book review of Schindler's Ark. Universal Pictures bought the rights to the novel, but Spielberg, unsure if he was ready to make a film about the Holocaust, tried to pass the project to several directors before deciding to direct it.
Principal photography took place in Kraków, Poland, over 72 days in 1993. Spielberg shot in black and white and approached the film as a documentary. Cinematographer Janusz Kamiński wanted to create a sense of timelessness. John Williams composed the score, and violinist Itzhak Perlman performed the main theme.
Schindler's List premiered on November 30, 1993, in Washington, D.C. and was released on December 15, 1993, in the United States. Often listed among the greatest films ever made, the film received international acclaim from critics for its tone, Spielberg's direction, acting, and atmosphere; it was also a box office success, earning $322 million worldwide on a $22 million budget. It was nominated for twelve Academy Awards, winning seven, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Score, and won numerous other awards, including seven BAFTAs and three Golden Globe Awards. In 2007, the American Film Institute ranked Schindler's List 8th on its list of the 100 best American films of all time. The film was designated as "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress in 2004 and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.

SCHINDLER'S LIST MOVIE REVIEW: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIvdhGWAYrKffKc This Movie Really Left Me Speechless.... Please Share And Like. Tell Me Your Thoughts On This History! I Apologize For The Intro, I Didn't Think It Was That Loud. Ok I Hate That I Have To Do This Sometimes But This Is Really Starting To Piss Me Off, I Have So Many People Insulting Me And My Intelligence Either It Being In A Polite Way Or In A Completely Disrespectful Way. Listen I Knew About The Holocaust Before I Watched This Movie, I Only Knew About 10% - 15% Of The Holocaust. Some People Really Making It Seem Like I Didn't Know Anything About The Holocaust Just Because Of The Way I Reacted To People Dying..... Like Are You Serious? How The Hell Else Am I Supposed To React? 😐 (When I Said I Was Never Taught This In School, I WAS TALKING ABOUT OSKAR SCHINDLER! I Wasn't Talking About The Holocaust.... It's Crazy How Now A Days You Have To Over Explain Everything..) This Was A "Movie Reaction" Not Some Damn School Book Report. Some People Also Think I Didn't Know The Holocaust Because Of Certain Things I Said... Bro Alot Of Things I Said In This Video Was Me Having My Mind Disshuffled, So Somethings Came Out Wrong. Like Yall Need To Chill The Hell Out And Stop Assuming Things And Trying To Interpret What I Say. After I Watched This Movie, I Took A Week A Actually Studied A lot On The Holocaust. Now I Would Say I Know Like 40% Of The Holocaust....

[@vancethurman7977]

This movie came out when I was sixteen. It took me two or three times to get through it fully. A phenomenal movie about The Holocaust, that to this day some people say never happened. If you get the chance watch Roberto Begnini’s 1998 Best Foreign Film ‘Life Is Beautiful’. Equally powerful and told through the eyes of a European Jewish father in the latter years of the war (‘44-‘45) protecting his son from the horrors and atrocities around him. You will not be disappointed. Slight correction - Life is Beautiful is told through the eyes of a young boy who could not comprehend the horrors but sees it through the perspective his father illustrates for him.

Mellow, in answer to your question about the child in red during the liquidation of the ghetto...I have always thought that she represented Oskar Schindler's humanity or his compassion or empathy. Up until that point, the Jews were just an element in his scheme...a way to maximize his profits. But witnessing the brutality of the Germans clearing the Jews out like that shocked him awake, and he began to see them as human beings for the first time. 🖖✌

Just 'cause you seemed confused: When Schindler threatened those two guards; "You'll be in southern Russia" he was implying he's have them sent to the Russian front lines, a notoriously deadly assignment for German soldiers. Also Amon Goeth's granddaughter is biracial, and learned about him by chance, when she found a book about her mothers own experience finding out about what he did! It's a whole crazy story, 2 generations finding out by complete surprise.

Regarding the red coat of the little girl, Spielberg said in an interview that something like this actually happened. They forced all the people to go to one place, but no-one took notice of a little girl in a bright red coat. He also said it was a symbol for the politics at the time. He said that he's convinced the people in power outside of Germany knew what happened at the time and let it happen. Just like the little girl in such an obvious colour could walk down a street full of soldiers rounding up and shooting Jews left and right, without anyone stopping her.

[@phydeux]

Spielberg's explanation for his use of color was to draw your eye to important characters and events. The candle flames that are extinguished representing the loss to come, the candles lit at the sabbath are hope renewed, etc... And the little girl shows the loss of an innocent going completely unremarked.

[@HeatherANelson]

Sir, your review of Schindler’s list brought me to tears. This may be long, but I am an older Jewish lady and I do not know how to use less words to describe how you made me feel watching this movie and your reaction to it. You see, my family includes two holocaust survivors. They were from different families and actually managed to survive. Their stories are like this one, filled with luck, and randomness in a world gone mad. Their survival was against all odds, and sometimes their lives depended on other people, like Mr. Schindler, risking his own life to protect them, hide them, help them, feed them. Sometimes “just survive one more day” was what kept them alive.. Your reactions of “Why?!? How! What the Fuck?!!!!” are exactly what mine were when learning about the holocaust when I was very young, as you are now. Jewish people call the holocaust the Shoah. In fact, Spielberg actually set up something called the Shoah Foundation where he made it his mission in the 1990’s to record as many actual survivors’ stories on film before those people passed away (as many were getting so old by the 1990’s) so that people like you would be able to hear a true story directly from the actual mouths of those who survived the holocaust themselves. You can actually watch them on KZbin now! My family history is recorded there as well. I only keep my family name from you as mine is only one story…like the small girl in the pink dress. Her character and the one bit of color in a long black and white film, was to show she was one of over 9 million people killed in the Shoah (6 million of them were Jews). I read that Speilberg made this movie to honor his children and his heritage as a Jew, telling the story of the Jews from an actual Jewish person behind the lens was so important to him. He also has several black children whom he adopted and he made the movie Amistad for them, to honor their black history and pay tribute to the horrors of slavery in America. However, it is you and your loving and heartfelt reactions to these events that moved me to write to you, as you were moved by the story of my people. Your reactions and your tears impacted me so powerfully that I struggle to find the words to tell you how much it meant to me, personally. You see, when we, as Jews, speak of the Shoah, our motto is Never Forget. And Never Again. It is our heartfelt hope that this never happens again in the world, to anyone - whether the group of people is black, or muslim, or women, or part of any group that people would begin to blame for the wrongs of the world. Which is why you speaking on the KZbin about this is so important, so people will learn from the Shoah, perhaps of the dangers of blame and hate and the ability of humanity to be cruel and ruthless. We must, each of us, protect our world from that. It is said that if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. To understand the Shoah (if such a thing is even possible), Jews try to educate people, and most especially young people like you, to watch for signs of how this was done. What frightens me most about the Shoah, is that the Nazis were human beings as well. That this actually happened. And that the people who did this were very smart. You see, managing to kill over 9 million people (6 million of whom were Jews) actually takes a lot of organization. It involves engineers, trains, time tables, and very complex plans. All of which requires smart people = lawyers, legislators, doctors, and people with much knowledge and learning. You see, what the Nazis did was totally legal in Germany, as the laws were changed slowly over time, once Hitler had people who thought like he did he worked tirelessly to get them in positions of power to recreate a world without Jews. It happened over the course of 10 years leading up to the events we see in the film. Taking away people’s rights slowly so they get used to one thing and think, well o.k., it sucks, but I guess it could be worse. Then in 2 months another small thing is put into place, you must wear a jewish star on your clothes. Then another thing is outlawed (right to have a business), then the right to own a home, then you must move to the ghetto, bringing only one suitecase…until we are ready to kill you as quickly as we can, using you as labor to make this plan happen. This plan was known as the Final Solution. What scares me also sometimes in these times is that this was done often through misinformation, much like we see today, where people are not sure exactly what news to believe. And if something sounds quite horrible they think, “this cannot be true!” That can be used to manipulate many minds and thoughts. As can the erasing of history and facts. When the Nazi in history watches the extreme actions and killings of people in the ghetto clearing in the film, he says “You see? We will erase the past six centuries!” it made my heart so cold and frightened. But I became frightened again when you said “I never learned about this in school.” I could see clearly the shock in your face that some of these facts were the first time you’ve encountered this. I worry that the Shoah will be erased in our time, by not teaching children and young people what really happened. I thought for many years that education would help the world, but education without morality and ethics, without compassion, can lead to much evil in this world. So I love that you are educating yourself (Bravo!) as well as other people through KZbin about such important things. But most importantly - you are also doing it with an equal dose of compassion. Your empathy is epic and will serve you well in this life. I say all this to impress upon you what a special and talented person you are. Your ability to analyze and study film, your deep feelings about performances, your amazing talent to understand cinematography, color, and feel and express so beautifully what your thoughts are - you are truly very, very special. What also moved me is your humility. Apologizing for not being taught these things and not being a person to look things up…you found your way to this story, thank God. The failures of others who did not teach you this is not yours to bear, my dear boy. Just because you don’t know something yet is not your fault. Bless you for finding out things and for the wonderful reactions you have to new information! (I am very old and learn new things each day, how wonderful!) And without studying and reading or having it explained to you, you pick up exactly what I (with many words, perhaps nowhere nearly as effective as this Spielberg movie) could ever manage to teach you about the Shoah. I say this humbly, and in awe of your empathy and kindness toward the story of my people, the Jews, depicted in Shindler’s List. I hope with all my heart that you will find a career working in film and in analysis of film, as I can see how much you love it, and how your incredible talent and the truth of your feelings shines through. Please know that should you ever need a friend, or to talk or ask questions, if I can help you in any way, please contact me directly. I do not know how social media or the KZbin works, but I will count on you and the cleverness of your generation to find me if you need advice or wisdom, or just a friend to talk to. I hope that at some point you revisit the subject of the Shoah with the movie, The Pianist. With your love of music, I think you will be equally moved by the performances, the music and the filmmaking. However, one of the things I love most about you is your laughter! Mel Brooks is also a Jew, and I watched your reactions tof Blazing Saddles and giggled along with you. I can’t wait to see more of you and your reviews! I would also humbly request that maybe you would enjoy Raising Arizona, as that movie makes me laugh my ass off, and I would hope it would bring you some joy. May you continue to find success making people think, making them laugh, and doing what you do best! May God bless you and keep you, may he shine his countenance upon you and bring you peace. With love and the deepest respect for your work, Heather

Sadly, this is happening again. As you stated, it took Hitler years to place people in power, in various sectors. Now, the WEF has accomplished that and is so proud of it that they even said it for all to see and hear. They have infiltrated Govornments, the main stream media, the education system and more. Not just in one country, but on a global scale. The west was their main target and they achieved that. We are literally living through what you rightly stated should never happen again.

19:15 "Is that little girl even real?" She is used in the movie as a symbol of an innocent dying to the cruelty of men. But yes, a girl like her existed. Her name was Gittel Chill, a young 4 years old girl who was known in the ghetto for her bright red coat. Her parents fled to the countryside at the start of the war, and they couldn't bring their young baby with them, so they left her in the Krakow city with her uncle, who was a doctor in the ghetto. In the end, the little girl died during the extermination of the ghetto, and both her parents also didn't survive the war.

[@SetzerII]

Not a surprise, for two reasons. 1. It would be unreleasable if they did (NC-17 if if was released at all, and unrated direct-to-video was barely a thing in 1993). 2. More importantly, the human mind. "Refuge in Audacity" is a common name for it. Once you go past a certain point, the brain tends to filter itself. He likely would've been accused of "overdoing" it simply because if people didn't know everything about the original actions, it would be nearly impossible to comprehend. I've heard of people who voted "not guilty" in trials simply because they refused to believe that a human was capable of doing what was described to them. This is why the Jews were brought into public view at the end of the war instead of rushed to treatment (Broad brush phrase there, but you get the idea). What happened was so vile that until they saw it personally rational people wouldn't believe it was really happening. That it was so extreme was likely one of the reasons (That and the propaganda and lies by the leaders, of course) that it managed to happen under people's noses. If people weren't generally aware that the holocaust was a point to suspend their usual disbelief, even the movie would seem a bit much. I suppose it makes a point when the movie doesn't *need* to be exactly what happened, and yet still gets a strong message across.

I'm German and I was a 11 or 12 when I first watched this movie. I think first my Dad watched it with me on TV. Later I saw it once or twice in school too. It's such an important movie, even though despite being absolutely bone chilling it still barely scratches the full depths of atrocities committed in that time. The more you learn and read about that time, especially of eye witness accounts of survivors, the worse and worse it gets. I remember having nightmares when in 12th grade I had to read and study a book about the atrocities committed by 'doctors' who did 'experiments' on concentration camp inmates, with not anesthesia and an ever inevitable outcome. The memory culture in Germany is strong about the holocaust. WWII and the atrocities committed by Germany are basically a topic every single year latest from 6th grade in various angles and intensities (as to be age appropriate). Most school children eventually visit a concentration camp. We still had the chance to talk to a survivor on our visit. Sadly younger generations don't get that chance anymore. True, some young people are annoyed with the amount of holocaust related material they are presented with throughout their childhood, but I do think most eventually come around and understand the severity of this part of our history. To grow up in Germany and deny the holocaust or refuse the responsibility for its remembrance you have to be in willful denial and ideologically completely lost. As for the topic of national guilt, or the guilt people feel today about WWII and the holocaust. I do not think that any German born after WWII feels 'guilt' about it. It's a very off choice of word. We were not there. We had no say in it. HOWEVER, we do feel strong responsibility to try and understand how the nation could drift into a mass insanity like that, how millions of people could be dehumanized and deprived of their right to live like that, what are the early signs to look out for, what way does a nation's constitution have to be built to prevent these kind of things from happening, and to achieve all these things we need to never ever forget it and take responsibility as a people. One example for the way the German constitution changed to prevent such atrocities or at least to make murderers in war accountable for their actions is, how German soldiers are by constitution not absolved anymore from the responsibility for their actions by claiming they were just carrying out orders. If a German soldier follows any order that goes against basic human rights and international conventions of war, he or she is a war criminal, period. The reason for this is that after the war thousands and thousands of murderers of the holocaust had that one excuse 'I was just following orders.' Now if orders go against our constitution or violate basic human rights, they are not to be followed, or else you're complicit in a crime. That's just one small example of how the constitution changed to prevent such atrocities from happening again. Sadly even today their are still racists and anti-Semitic people in Germany, just like many places in the world. There will always be people who carry nothing but evil in their heart. All we can do is to do all we can to make sure they never gain majority or real influence ever again. The holocaust can never be made up for. The sheer scope of the atrocities... there is no real redemption to be had. But we do owe it to all the victims - Jews, Sinti and Roma, political opponents, homosexuals and physically as well as mentally disabled people - who were murdered, ripped off their loved ones and all they possessed, we owe it to them to still keep trying to remember and prevent it from happening again.

This is a movie. The balcony like shown in the movie was to the other side of the house, away from the camp. The SS-Kommandant Amon Göth had been arested in 1944 by Gestapo and brought to SS-court. Amon Göth was accused to steal from prisoners, torchured prisoners and killed prisoners. Amon Göth escaped in the chaos of the end of ww2. Please notice, that the SS accused ca. 800 SS-members due to stealing from prisoners, torchering prisoners and killing prisoners inside the concentration-camps. 2x SS-Comandants had been sentenced to death including execution. Please also notice, that the jewish-world-comitte declared "war on germany" on 24th march 1933 (without any reason). The jewish-world-comitte and his members repeatedly declared war on germany before ww2 started. Following the international-red cross germany was allowed to put the jews into jail due to the several jewish-war-declarations....like US and GB did with germans and japanese inside their countries. Dont get me wrong. For the people involved (torchered, murdered) it was a tragedy, but like always in history....even if a few are guilty the majority feels the trajedy. The official story, that Hitler was the "evil" who caused all this is WRONG. Like today, there are interests in the world who wanted a war with germany for good reason (in my opinion it has been the new money-and-trade-system from Hitler, which ignored the international finance industry in Wallstreet and City-of-London).

If you’re interested, I highly recommend the documentary “Shoah,” and the films “Life is Beautiful,” “The Devil’s Arithmetic,” and “The Pianist.” Also, Steven Spielberg was inspired to make this because he himself is Jewish. The Jewish people fundamentally have a relationship with the Holocaust, even if they didn’t lose family or have family living in Europe at the time because we understand that we have a duty to remember. It’s talked about every year on our high holy days, and on Holocaust Remembrance Day we farther in the synagogue and read off a portion of the 6 million names of those who died. Thank you again for reacting to this so that those lost will never be forgotten.

[@vladimirmandingo6033]

I'm italian and Life is Beautiful is a very overrated movie in my opinion. Train of Life (Train de vie) was much better. My best three movies about Shoa: The Pianist (i remember i couldn't speak for hours when i finished it for the first and only time, that's enough for me to bear), Schindler's List and Son of Saul.

Every person in the world has a duty to remember and learn from the Holocaust.. My grandmother (on my father’s side) was German and was a small child during WWII, she came from one of the families that resisted Hitler and his regime.

You are wrong about southern Russia. The Gulag camps were in Siberia, two thousand miles to the east of the area of southern Russia Schindler was talking about. He was referring to areas of fighting between the German army and the Soviet army. It was in southern Russia that some of the bloodiest battles of the Eastern Front happened - Stalingrad, Kharkov, Kursk, Kiev, Sevastopol etc. What you have to understand is that the fighting between the Germans and the Soviets in southern Russia was especially brutal. The Nazis regarded Russians (as well as Jews) as sub-human and treated them with great cruelty. The Russians took their revenge on the battlefield. They took no prisoners. German soldiers stationed in western Europe were terrified of being posted to the Russian Front. It was almost certainly a death sentence, because they were unlikely to survive the fighting. That is why Schindler threatened the two soldiers with "I think I can promise you that you'll both be in southern Russia by the end of the month.". And the little girl in the red coat didn't survive. Didn't you see her body (in the red coat, so the audience would notice her) on the cart taking bodies away from the shootings? Whoever you saw being interviewed years later, it wasn't the little girl portrayed in the film.

[@phydeux]

I'm Jewish and I grew up next door to a survivor of Auschwitz, and a friend of mine's father was in Treblinka. That made this movie one of the most impactful movies I've ever seen. I always cry at the end. Even watching you watch it is difficult. Those piles of shoes, pictures, and belongings you see when they're sorting personal effects? I've seen them in person at the Yad Vashem museum in Jerusalem. It's a special kind of horror being arm's length from the belongings of the dead. Gold teeth, glasses, purses, etc... And all identical to those in the movie. And as horrible as this movie is, the reality was so much worse. It wasn't just the Jews being exterminated. Gypsies, the Polish, Hungarians, gays, intellectuals, blacks, the mentally retarded, and the disabled or deformed were all put to death in the name of racial purity. And of course then you also had Dr. Mengele and his "medical" experiments. If you have the time (9 1/2 hours) and don't mind reading captions, you should watch "Shoah". It's a documentary from 1985 where they interviewed dozens of survivors about their experiences in the camps. My mom took me to see it when I was a kid, they showed it over the course of 3 weekends because it's so long. The Holocaust is why Jews everywhere repeat the phrase "Never again". And it should never happen to anyone again. But right now it's going on in western China and the world turns a blind eye because they don't dare upset China.

[@S0ulinth3machin3]

Some interesting things about Amon Göeth's descendants: 1) Monika Hertwig, the child of his lover never really knew the true extent of her father's wickedness UNTIL she sat in a movie theater and actually saw this movie! Can you imagine finding out that way? She was in a documentary (a few others have mentioned it in the comments) with a survior of her father's brutality. Poor woman ranted at Göeth's daughter, even though the daughter had nothing to do with her father's actions. 2) His grandaughter is a black woman - the daughter of a Nigerian man that Hertwig dated for a while. She found out who her grandfather was by picking up a book quite by accident in a library. It was so traumatising that she had to call her husband to pick her up, as it brought on an instant panic attack and she suffered months long depression afterwards. She wrote a book titled: My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me.

[@marccru]

They did a whole documentary on her and Rudolf Hoess's nephew. It was a while ago, but If you can find it, definitely worth a look.

[@tetsuwasabi2546]

That information about Monika Hertwig seems to be not true. She first heard about who her father was from her grandmother. From there on she repeatedly got information bits about her father, until she got the whole story apparently, when her mother gave an interview about Monika Hertwig's father while she sat in the room next-door. When she watched Schindler's List, she had a mental breakdown. But she knew about her father before watching the movie.

I appreciate you so much after watching this video, my friend. First time to your channel, instant subscriber, thank you for your honest and unfiltered reaction to what may be the most important film ever made. I first saw SCHINDLER'S LIST at a matinee the day it was released, and the theater was mostly empty. When the film was over I felt the need to watch the entirety of the credits, to take in as many of the names of those who worked on this absolute masterpiece as I could, but also to recover from the wracking sobs that washed over me at the end. When the house lights finally came up, I noticed that an elderly couple were staring at me from a few rows back; the woman had to get up and leave, but her husband -- who had to have been in his late 80s -- stayed behind, and came to stand behind my seat. He finally said, very softly, "She kept saying how much you remind her of our son." He put a shaking hand on my shoulder, squeezed it, and then quietly left the theater. I have no idea what their backstory was, if they had experienced the Holocaust first-hand, or just found in that shared moment of emotion a common cause with a fellow human. Whatever it was, I'll never forget that day, and those two people, and I'll always wonder about their son. Such an important film; may we never, ever forget.

As weird as this is to say this is not only one of my fave movies but where my fascination with WW2/The Holocaust started. And also, how I became fan of Ralph Fiennes (Kommandant) A few things: -This is based off a book called Schindler's Ark by Thomas Keneally -A channel here called The Vile Eye actually did a psychological profile on the Kommandant I think you may be interested in -Schindler wasnt fleeing because he failed to produce ammunition, he was fleeing because he saved Jews thus betraying the Nazi party, he technically still belonged to. He bribed party members to be able to get more workers to be able to save them. So he knew that the Allies (US, UK and France wouldnt let him live if he got caught even though he did what he did because he's still a Nazi) -He fled to Argentina, lived off money he received from the Jews he saved and his wife divorced him. He died penniless. -The Jews at the end of the movie are the people that were represented in the movie that were still alive. -This movie was made because a man in the movie (the one who said he was going into the sewers) owned a luggage store in LA, he told his story to everyone that came in and one day, Thomas Keneally walked in, Thomas made it into a book and that book was sent to Steven Spielberg, Steven a Jew himself didnt want to make it and tried to pawn it off on a few director friends, he actually would call Robin WIlliams to tell him jokes because of the heavy subject matter, Mila, his wife, when she met Ralph Fiennes in costume as the Kommandant, screamed in terror because he looked just like the real Amon Goeth., -IRL the Woman Amon was having sex with in the villa was his mistress, she became pregnant and had his baby while he went into hiding. That baby grew up and had a baby of her own with a Nigerian man, that baby was put up for adoption and she found out the hard way that her grandfather Amon was a Nazi Kommandant (she wrote a great book called ''my grandfather would of shot me'') and yeah lmk if there's anything else youd like to know.

The fact that you were so shocked watching the various scenes of atrocities in the movie (randomly shooting people for fun) is a reminder to me of how horrendous it all was. When I watched this movie for the first time, I wasn't as shocked as you were, because I knew more background knowledge about what happened in the holocaust and in the war. Seeing your reaction reminds me of how shocked I should be, and how shocked everybody should be, at the events which happened.

I had very similar reactions to his without his but with less crying.

*love your reactions...NEVER forget that these is not just a movie but it did happen.*

[@daedalron]

Yes. Some of the small events were changed for the book/movie, to simplify things (like for example Goeth having a single jewish maid, when in fact he had multiple), and also some scenes were changed to make them more impactful (I'm thinking for example of the scene where the kids in the camp are sent away by trucks, and the parents rush towards the truck. That didn't happen. The single parent who went towards the trucks was shot down, the others didn't move or they would have been shot down too). But the big events are what really happened.

Thank you for this honest and genuine reaction .. I found it quite profound at times. All the best mate.
