I read that Ralph Fiennes was so accurate that Holocaust survivors who knew Goth started shaking uncontrollably in fear when they saw Fiennes in character.

I have also heard this. It's a crying shame that Fiennes didn't get the "Best Supporting Actor" Oscar, which he earned a thousand times over.

[@NecramoniumVideo]

That happened only to one holocaust survivor who met him during recording of a scene.

[@Britton_Thompson]

I don't see how. He looked nothing like the real Amon Goeth; who'd become a fat, ugly, alcoholic slug by 1942. Ralph Fiennes may have reminded them of a generic SS officer from the Nazi Germany era, but he could've never looked like the actual Amon Goeth because Fiennes was always too attractive to be the real Goeth

[@Britton_Thompson]

I don't see how. The real Amon Goeth had become a fat, alcoholic slug by the early 1940s. I don't doubt he struck fear in them by reminding them of a generic SS officer in general from the Third Reich era, but never as the actual Amon Goeth since Fiennes was always too attractive to ever look like the man himself

9:11 This theme was composed for the film by John Williams. From Wikipedia: _Schindler's List_ (1993) proved to be a challenge for Williams; after viewing the rough cut with Spielberg, he was so overcome with emotion that he was hesitant to score the film. He told Spielberg, "I really think you need a better composer than I am for this film." Spielberg replied, "I know, but they're all dead."

Sometimes you heared: "Oh, GOD!"...and when the little girl with the red coat was hiding herself under the bed..."stay quiet, cutie!".

While making this movie, Spielberg wouldn't even communicate with the actors playing the Einsatzgruppen. These were actors of the German theater playing these parts. Spielberg would give them direction but he wouldn't make small talk with them as he couldn't get past the Schutzstaffel uniforms. That is until a beautiful thing happened very early in production. A Passover Seder was held at the hotel the cast and crew were staying. Spielberg had all the Jewish actors sitting around at a table, then all the German actors walked in wearing yarmulkes and participated in the rituals of the Passover Seder and Spielberg was moved to tears.

[@fumblingdetective]

What is most sickening is that the lessons that were learned were those the nazis taught. That ghettos have been created, the inhabitants referred to as subhuman, that their neighbours need lebensraum ( a term literally used by Israeli media ) and accordingly the ghettos are being liquidated by the self proclaimed proud fascists of the Israeli government.

[@maryrichardson1318]

I commend you for watching this and letting us share in this emotional journey. In the mid 1980s, my husband was a U.S. Army officer, and our family was stationed in Munich. My parents came to visit and we decided one day to visit Dachau. While waiting for the bus, a young man came to me to ask directions. I had a map in my hand and he heard us speaking English. He was also going to visit Dachau. He was about 18 or 19 years old, so we "adopted" him for the day. He told us that he was from Israel, and he was going into the military, but had the summer to come to Munich to visit his brother at university. He stayed with us the entire day, and the visit to Dachau was very emotional for all of us. I still have a picture of him, but forgot to write his name down. I often think of him and what his life has been like these nearly 40 years.

[@kulturedkiwi]

My mothers parents, Opa & Oma hid young men, including Jews, in the their home during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. My father came across the aftermath of a Nazi reprisal and even though he was only 10, he ran up to a German soldier and began kicking him. The German soldiers handed him to the Dutch police and told them to lock him up for 3 days and they would be checking to make sure he was still in the police cell. I visited Israel and went to Yad Vashem and walked the Avenue of the Righteous and there was a large pile of stones under Schindler's tree. The film has made his story famous but there were so many other trees for the "Righteous" and I wish I knew there stories as well. War brings out the worst and best in men. May we never forget.

[@GeeksaMusing]

One of the most powerful, emotional reactions I've ever seen.

[@lizd2943]

The woman in Amon Goeth's bed who called him a child was his longtime mistress Ruth Kalder. They had a daughter together, and their daughter had her own daughter with a Nigerian man. Amon Goeth has a living biracial black granddaughter. She didn't know he was her grandfather until she was 38 and found a book about her mother in a library. She wrote her own book called My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me. She actually studied in Israel and had many Jewish friends. Ruth Kalder tried to live quietly in Germany after the war (even though she took Goeth's last name after his execution). She was eventually persuaded to do an interview in 1983 where she denied and minimized all of his crimes. Shortly after the interview aired on tv she committed suicide.

[@millinamillota7537]

It was certainly a difficult decision for you to watch the film Schindler’s List. I come from Germany and grew up in a very nationalist German family. At the age of 15, I broke off contact with my grandparents, and by 17, I had left home because I could no longer bear the stories about the Holocaust and German national pride. A defining experience for me was in 1988 when I was 16 and participated in a youth camp that included a visit to the Dachau concentration camp. There, we had the opportunity to speak with Holocaust survivors who told us about the atrocities they endured: the selections on the ramps, forced labor, the daily struggle to survive, and the suffering of Jews, Sinti, Roma, dissidents, and people with disabilities. They also described the task of having to recover the dead. Particularly shocking for me was witnessing, on the grounds of the former SS officers’ quarters, where at the time the mobile task force of the Bavarian police was stationed, a barbecue taking place during our visit. They even sang the Horst Wessel Song - a song that served as the unofficial anthem of the Nazi Party and glorified the ideology of the regime. This experience opened my eyes and led me to engage deeply with the topic of National Socialism. In our small community, I began researching what had happened to the local Jewish population: how they were dispossessed, deported, and murdered, and how some citizens enriched themselves by acquiring Jewish property at bargain prices. This research revealed that many people knew what was happening - the deportations, the labor camps, and the extermination camps. These insights were difficult to bear, but they taught me how important it is to know the past to understand the present and shape the future. This quote, attributed to Pastor Niemöller, is more relevant than ever today. We all must remain vigilant to ensure the past is not forgotten, because only by remembering can we prevent such atrocities from happening again.

New subscriber, this popped up in my feed, and it's the first time I've discovered the channel. You ask a question at 49:35 "guys why do you want to watch us watch this movie?". I can't speak for the ones who recommended this to you, but for me personally, I was intrigued to watch because I want to understand better the perspectives of those who were directly or indirectly affected by these events. I can of course empathize from a human level, but there is *so much* happening that nuance and subtlety, as well as meanings behind certain beliefs and customs that may get lost or not understood by some. Your reaction and comments are important to helping others understand more deeply why these things matter. I first saw this movie in the theaters while living in Belgium as an expat student. I was profoundly affected by that first watch, not just from the movie, but realizing that I was surrounded by people in the theater that had direct experience with these things. I believe it's important for people like myself to understand these things and how they continue to impact people in a very real sense today. Respectfully. Thank you for sharing your reaction; I'm looking forward to doing a deep dive on the channel. 🙏🏻

[@hellemarc4767]

The movie doesn't do right by Mrs. Schindler, because she did a lot, too. She would make sure that they had enough food, medications, heating material etc., she had a hospital wing where she would care for the sick... In the movie, the other guy Schindler can be seen talking to is Julius Madritsch, he too is recognized as a Righteous by Yad Vashem, altough he didn't manage to save as many people, in the end, but he also made sure his workers were well fed and lived in relatively decent conditions.

[@skylinerunner1695]

This film captures but a mere fraction of the pain and horror of that time, and yet it's almost unbearable to watch. The Holocaust was and is an unconscionable crime against humanity, with so many lives snuffed out in the cruelest ways possible, so I truly hope this film continues to keep the memory alive and inspire empathy in subsequent generations.

I am indigenous from the Diné nation in the southwest United States. When I saw this movie, I had a sense of what my peoples of this hemisphere went through at the hands of racist colonizers from 1492 on. Our experience was much different, but the overall mass genocide is similar. I later learned that hitler and his minions drew inspiration from the treatment of indigenous people by the church and the U.S. government to construct his vision of a "solution." It is sad and abhorrent that there are those who do not learn from history or draw the wrong conclusions from it.

[@Kurkess]

Very true... during WW2 even the US intererred more than 120.000 japanese american citizens in camps in worse conditions than most prisons.

[@JakeLegear]

Hitler took inspiration from the Democrats racist Jim Crow laws, and Democrats like Woodrow Wilson's racist ideology. It's ironic that Democrat voters today, and all the mainstream media say Trump is another Hitler, when in fact Hitler admired the other side. He would have hated the fact Trump's daughter married a Jew, and converted, or that Trump elected many Indian Americans like Kash Patel, or Vivek Ramaswamy in his cabinet.

How so? They didn't experience it. They just believe the same things. It's a weird attachment to the past, finding some arbitrary connection to make yourself a victim of past atrocities. Even after the war the rest of the world was like "yeah, that sucks, but don't come here". Why? Because jews had worn out their welcome everywhere on earth. This is why they fight to go back to Israel. They have no place to go because they burned their bridges with their past actions. They aren't these innocent victims that had this happen for no reason.

This is THE movie about the Holocaust you have to see at least once. Especially as a Jewish person. I think that is why it was requested so much. Every time people get dehumanized like this I think, this has to be the last time. But history keeps, maybe not repeating but at least rhyming. Patterns of military suppression, people being put in ghettos, justified by some arbitrary phantasy superiority like: The Adrian's are the superior race. Or the countless times religion is used in the same way. "We are gods chosen people" has been said even before the crusades to justify atrocities. And it is being used till this day. Don't fall for propaganda. We are all Humans, even is we are all different. What a colorful place this world can be if we stop hating each other.

[@ThunderbackOG]

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

When this movie came out I was 17 and we had already had talked about Nazism, the Holocaust, how it was orchestrated, how things got worse from the rise to power to the Reichskristallnacht and so on. Curriculum about this is very thorough in German schools. We had even seen the historic footage from Dachau, how people were nothing more than walking skelletons. Haunting pictures. Yet while we all felt that we knew the story, the historical importance, what "Schindler's List" did was give it all a palpable spirit, something more than cold school textbooks and documentaries. The insanity of it all, this movie helped us to grasp the monstrosity of it all. Perhaps the most shameful thing of it all was that Oskar Schindler's story was not taught in schools. Maybe people thought it's better to teach how horrible it all was instead of focusing on the few people like him who actually did something about it.

[@kevtb874]

I get the impression Ron is a bit tired of the dramatisation of the Holocaust and knows the history well. He seemed a bit detached at rewatching the horrors and brutality of this period. To see him get emotional and cry at the ending/one more person scene tells me he got some sort of catharsis out of it. Especially if you say he doesn't often cry. That scene gets me every time. I think it's one the best bits of acting I've ever scene and is a beautiful culmination to the story. 'He who saves one life saves the world entire' Bittersweet doesn't half explain the turmoil of emotions I feel every time I watch it.

I’m American Syrian on my mother’s side, Christian spiritual gentile with high functioning autism but I love studying/learning about Judaism. This movie is always a heartbreak to watch but I’m thankful Mr Stern, Mr Schindler and the many others that were able to do as much as they could to save the number of Jewish people they did. To recall history so accurately and display such horror, to preserve the great act of Kindness Mr Schindler did for these poor people. My two favorite parts are definitely when stern finishes the list holds it, looks to Schindler and says “The List is an Absolute Good, The List Is Life” he reminds me of Moses with the tablets the way he holds up the list. As well as when Mr Jereth willingly gives a tooth so Stern can make Oscar a ring it gets engraved and he later tells Schindler, “It’s Hebrew from the Talmud, it says ‘He who saves one life saves The World Entire.” Always brings tears to my eyes. It is always mandatory for me to watch hogans heroes and play wolfenstein after watching this movie to do my part to kick the “snotzi’s” asses. Shomer Yisrael❤️

[@ivanvanrooy9551]

Great reaction! But here some hints! Schindler wasn't a nazi, he was very much against it but he played along just not to get in trouble and carry out his plans. He was a, for that timeperiod, rich industrial which liked to fool and connect to high nazi-officials and the military you'll never know that could come in handy, he played them and was very experienced at it too, as he was a shrewd businessman! All the workers at his factory were jews and he tried constantly to get more people, everyone who worked for him were free from prosecution of the nazi-regime because they worked for the military etc.! It was his way to save people at the risk of being discovered which would have serious consequences for him or his family! For the nazi-morons it looked like he was a convinced follower (which was only a camouflage) and that was what he wanted to accomplice, behind the scenes he arranged what he wanted to do and he did this with such a conviction that a lot of his own workers didn't even know it until the end! At the end of the war, when he knew how many had died in the camps, he was wrecked he couldn't have saved any more people, even one would have made a difference for him! After his dead he was buried in Israël and his grave until today is honored...

[@GK-yi4xv]

Schindler was an agent for German Intelligence. He helped lay the groundwork for the German invasion of Czechoslovakia, then moved on to Poland, where he ran a ring of spies/informants reporting to the Nazi authorities. This was the real reason he had high-level protection in Poland.. Yes, he had a big change of heart during the war (good for him), but he started out fully on board with Nazi goals and German nationalism. According to his wife, his exploits in the movie were greatly exaggerated, and many of them were actually carried out by her and her assistant (including the famous 'Auschwitz rescue scene', when Schindler was actually in jail being investigated for corruption). Anyway, good for him, of course, but it's Hollywood, so the character is sugar-coated for dramatic clarity.

My great-grandfather was not a Nazi, but he was what the Nazis called an Aryan. tall, strong, blond and blue-eyed and with a high level of education. he had the best grades.. he was therefore "asked" to take part in further training of the SS and was sent to Riga. (where my grandmother was born) what exactly he experienced there, I don't know.. there are rumors that he had to work there in a camp... he came back and had a big strand of gray hair. he must have experienced terrible things... from that moment on, he wanted nothing more to do with the Party and the Nazis. he had with him diaries of Jewish people whom he saved from extermination.

The strange thing is that this happened all over occupied Europe and obviously in Germany itself, but no Jew wore the yellow star in Denmark during the war, and no Danish Jew went to any of the extermination camps. When Adolf eventually got tired of the Danish Government, the Jews were warned and helped to escape, though 580 failed to escape to Sweden of which 464 were captured and sent to the Theresienstadt Ghetto. In February 1944, now knowing that they were going to lose the war, the Germans embarked on a propaganda "beautification" campaign to prepare the ghetto for the visit from the Red Cross and a delegation from the Danish government. Many "prominent" prisoners and all the Danish Jews were re-housed in private, superior quarters. The streets were renamed and cleaned; sham shops and a school were set up and they also encouraged the prisoners to perform an increasing number of cultural activities. Still, a total of 51 mainly elderly Danish Jews got sick and died of disease or old age at Theresienstadt, but Denmark's Jewish population was not send to the extermination camps.

55:15 "They are digging out the bodies?" Yes they were. The germans found mass graves in Soviet camps. They were afraid the Allies would find out about their own mass graves.

This happened in all their camps as they retreated in advance of the allied forces.

So I know it was asked at the beginning but for the badge Schindler wears, that’s what’s known as the “Golden Party Badge” of the NSDAP. It’s a major award given out to select members of the Party and had a great deal of prestige attached to it. Anyone who had this badge could be considered immediately a VIP which is partly why he was allowed to get away with so much. Something to keep in mind is that in Nazi Germany that the party was its own government above the government and its members were treated differently. Also he wears it in the left side because it’s regulated for him to do so.

This is an amazing film. Im glad you two took the opportunity to watch it and share your emotions with us. I am an American and I appreciate history the good, bad and ugly. Its really sad what a human being can do to another. I wish you both prosperity and happiness. I suggest you watch "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" next. Much love from the US.

[@silverado5306]

This movie is a masterpiece. It's by far my favorite movie, and the first time I saw it it blew me away. The way he narrates the atrocities that happened at that time overwhelmed me. I had already read about the Jewish Holocaust, and had seen some films and documentaries about it, but the raw way in which Spielberg tells this story is shocking. The scenes that moved me the most are the one of the boy who helps a girl (Dana) and her mother to get into the "good line", the one of the moment when they take all the children from the concentration camp and the mothers run screaming towards the trucks, the one about the Auschwitz showers and the final scene when they give Schindler a gold ring.

[@WorkingWithWoods089]

As a german, this movie has a special place in my heart. In my opinion there was, there is and there will never be a better movie! The actors and actresses, the telling, the feeling watching it...the best movie ever made 🙌 and you guys are awesome!

I watched this in the cinema in the UK when it first came out, and just before it started about 4 dozen German students, all female, who would have been over here that Summer studying in the Language College in town and all about 17-18, came and sat down in front of us. I remember thinking that they were going to be pretty uncomfortable watching it but they did, sitting through the whole thing. I can honestly say that their tears were flowing in rivers and I know a number of them really struggled but they persevered. I think they would have left scarred but better educated in what the Nazi's had done to those in the camps. My Uncle had an Aunt called Joyce, a very brilliant and wonderful woman, who was a matron attached to the British 11th Armoured Division that liberated Belsen in WW2 . She actually stopped the British soldiers giving out so much of their rations to the 60,000 thousand camp survivors as the sudden intake of food was killing hundreds of them. However 28,000 or so did not survive as their bodies were so weak or they were so sick from conditions of the camp.

With all the anti semitism in the world at the moment, this film is more important than ever. Thank you for watching this.

[@micheletrainor1601]

Ralph Fiennes who played Goeth took time in between takes to comfort the Schindler Jews on set as his likeness, performance and mannerisms were so much like him it caused panic attacks in some of them. Amon Goeth was truly a demon in human form so much so that even the nazi party found his actions truly disturbing and considering what they did to people shows how truly evil he was so they had him committed to the sanatorium ( mental hospital) by the SS which as u saw is where the allieds found and hung him. The people Schindler saved were part of his life after the war and he was at family events. They took care of him in his old age as he was ostracised by his own country because of what he did which is one of the reasons why his businesses failed. When he passed away they paid for his body to be flown to isreal to be buried in the jewish cemetery you see at the end as it was the highest honour they could bestow upon him. May Israel stand strong against the evil in the world once again. I stand with you as a Brit. I cannot get my head around what i see today like the young girls words in JoJo Rabbit ring true " your a child who wants to part of a club". They may not all be children but they are ignorant to the real world and just think its like the BLM or Pride parades its complete ignorance because its truly disturbing that in many countries this part of history is not taught but once we forget history repeats. My grandparents did not fight against this horror for it to happen again. A movie came out a few months ago called One Life which is definitely worth a watch or reaction from yourselves.

[@jumpingmanatee]

I'm sure it's already been mentioned but Izak Stern is played by Sir Ben Kingsley.

[@BoothTheGrey]

Thank you very much for your deeply emotional reaction. Disclaimer: This text was written by me for another reaction to Schindlers List and I just copied most of it cause it suits my thoughts still perfectly. As a an older German in my mid 50s who saw this movie when it was released in cinema in my 20s... this movie is a very special piece of critical art for me. And watching you as Jews watching it brings special feelings of a great responsibility in my heart and brain. Not towards you directly but towards our potential as human race … and how much we can fail. My ancestors did this. And yes - they really did this. And (relatively) only a few were pure psychopaths like Amon Goeth (who actually was even worse than shown in this movie) … many German Nazis were quite normal people. A lot even well educated. Its so important to not forget. As much as I despise and condemn what my ancestors did under the Nazi regime... as much I am proud that in Germany we established a deep memorial culture about the crimes our ancestors did. We start in school talking about Nazi germany and WW2 - and although many Germans dont want it and even think it is something to make us feel ashamed I see it very different: We can be proud to be so much aware of our past and to try to learn from it and try to show responsibility because of it. I think EVERY nation should face the crimes of ancestors and try to learn from this. When we Germans who did one of the most horrifying crimes in history can face these crimes... every nation should be able to do this. Its all about NOT dehumanzizing others and create social systems to actively avoid it. We still are really bad at this. Even in "modern" countries our economical system allows to "outsource" really bad behaviour in other countries and almost force people with money to do crimes. But of course so many other elements in the human world exist that makes us dehumanize each other. We must stop this. Every human deserves respect. Every human has dignity and this should not be violated. This movie can help to understand this. The only critique I have with Schindlers List is that its not clear how many German Soldiers and Nazi were not bad people but rather normal who just "operated" in the murderous system. And of cause ideology and brainwashing helped a lot to support it. Although Schindler WAS a hero he could not do a tiny bit to prevent this. And even more important: In the beginning he didnt want to prevent at all but just make profit. Many german capitalist profited A LOT - still there are some very rich Germans where the ancestors profited from the Nazi regime. We have to understand that social systems must be created that let not profit inhumane behaviour. We still have a long way to go. Hopefully we will make it. Thanks a lot for watching this both very great and very painful movie. Thanks for sharing your emotions and thoughts. Wish you all the best for your channel and your whole life.

Another good film to react to, which also features Ben Kingsley is 'Operation Finale' from 2018. Ironically Ben Kingsley plays the senior Nazi Adolf Eichmann who was hiding in Argentina and is being hunted by Mossad agents in 1960 to bring him back to Israel for trial. The film also features the French actress Melanie Laurent whom you saw in 'Inglourious Basterds' as Shoshanna Dreyfus. In 'Operation Finale' she is one of the Mossad agents hunting Ben Kingsley and she is Jewish in real life.

Allegedly when Steven Spielberg went to John Williams to ask him to score this movie, Williams told him he couldn't do it because he wasn't good enough. To which Spielberg told him "Everyone better is dead."

The rock on the tomb is something Jewish. Apparently Jews leave stones at a grave instead of flowers which wither and die.

[@darirolxarniic6319]

we (german) watched this movie in cinema back when it came out with school classes, basically as part of the education. among all of what was shown, one line got stuck a those decades was something along the line "how could it possibly get any worse?" you see that rich family getting evicted from their villa, in a ghetto appartment, then mor people get stuffed in that apartment, the get moved in to a work camp, the get moved in to a death camp and at every single step they are like "okay, this is bad, we now reached the worst possible state, it cant get worse". my take from this, it can always get worse. even if your imagination cant paint the picture how.

Happy? not Sad? yes A necessary yet unperfect piece of history. Tread carefully with the ones unable to shed tears when looking at it.

[@BonniBarlow-fn6oj]

And those who want to perpetuate it, or say it never happened.

[@AlexKnight009]

* It's so important that schools and parents continue to teach about the holocaust(in every detail) so that history does not repeat itself in that way. As, I'm sure, every holocaust survivor has said, if it happened once, there's no reason why it couldn't happen again. I have to be honest, the first time I saw this movie, it really choked me up. The things that were done to those people, and the way they were treated is *unthinkable.* All because of one extremely pathological megalomaniac narcissist named "Hitler". This is why we need to educate ourselves on narcissism. How to spot it, how to recognize those behavior patterns, and to not give the narcissists what they want.

[@anniesmolkin7685]

Schools are only concerned about what goes on in their country though. Which is kind of a good thing. Parents can do the educating

[@AlexKnight009]

@@anniesmolkin7685 * Schools teach about *"World"* War II, and the holocaust was a huge part of it. I think that the heartless, cold-blooded mass murder of over 6 million men, women and children on an industrial scale is certainly significant enough in its own right to be taught in *every* high school around the world. Before we start hearing about more people who don't understand the significance, or in some cases, don't even believe the holocaust even happened, despite the mountain of evidence, verification and meticulous documentation. The Nuremberg trials alone provided more than enough testimony. The courts and judges were convinced 6 ways from Sunday.

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

a great companion piece to this film is the made-for-tv film "uprising" (2001) about the 1943 warsaw ghetto uprising. although its made for tv its stark realism, all-star cast and and high productiuon values make it a very good and devistating film. thanks for the video.

That wonderful tango in min 4:05 is called "Por una cabeza" by the one and only Carlos Gardel 🤩

[@jumpingmanatee]

I'm sorry for commenting so many times, but I remember things as I watch this with you. When they first began filming this movie, Mila Pheferberg, I'm sure I spelled that wrong, met Ralph Fiennes when she was on set. She began shaking so hard when she saw him, they had to escort her out.

[@mestupkid211986]

I've always read that the stones on the grave show respect to the deceased and is an indicator that someone has visited them. The real life Goeth was worse than the movie. The actor who played him actually scared the survivors they had on set because he looked so much like the real guy.

[@piotrjeske4599]

My grandmother ended up in hospital ,when they were shoting this. Saw a platoon of german soldiers and ended up with a pre heart attack state in hospital. And no wonder between war , occupation and camp her closes family lost 48 people , 19 of them under 13year o,ds and youngest being 8 days old when it died with its parents. How many of further family or from my fathers family died? We don't know . In the east almost no one survived. Ah and Amon had a nick name here . We called his "bestia" which means the Beast. He did much worse stuff, then he is shown to do in the movie. Spielberg decided that a lot of it was both too much for a viewer and that it was so insane that he let it out of the movie. For example a rent house near us was owned by a woman 2ho was a half(meaning she had fewer then 3 jewish grandparents) . They made her watch her husband and 5 children, youngest not even a year old , be thrown out of their flat in 3ed floor, and then they let her go and she jumped out to kill herself. But because she fell on the bodies , she didn't die. The germans left her, but told that if someone tries to help, they would be shot(in general getting killed was a punishment for most things. Even small stuff like owning a radio or having "hidden" food) . So she died over hours bleeding and broken . And stuff like that happened on almost every street.

My respect for Ralph Finnes as an actor grew exponentially after THIS role!! Can you IMAGINE, as an actor, as a human being, having to step into the mindset and character of such a horrible human being as Amon!???😮😮 I would imagine that it takes a LOT out of an actor to portray a horrible person like that!! And he did it SO exceptionally well.

The number of people whom enjoyed a summer's day at a lake, while 3 miles away the camps were full. Not many cared about train after train of people, year in, year out. Last week we went to Prague, on the way back we stayed at Erfurt Germany, near Buchenwald camp. In Erfurt was the factory that builded the cremation ovens. Its literaly around the corner of that camp, people worked in that factory daily. But no one knew. Only recent old campguards got convicted, at 90yrs of age. But they had their army-pension, holidays, Christmasses, grandchildren. That is what hapened. Anfd after "Never Again", today jews cant walk the streets in safety in Europe. Even in Amsterdam they couldnt remember the Shoah, without protestors screaming like maniacs.

[@40hup]

Well, after that it is probably time for some happier movies for you, but if you are looking for something deep and rooted in more modern history, I would recommend "Waltz With Bashir" to you, I found it very - well, thought provoking and moving. And it is certainly something different in style, storytelling and visualization - and unfortunately only little known.

[@jumpingmanatee]

Please don't think badly of me when I ask this, but both of you gasped when the soldier cut the man's hair with a knife. What is the significance of the two curly hairs. Forgive my ignorance.

[@thosesiblingss]

Ignorance is nothing to ask forgiveness for, thank you for asking!☺️ The two curly hears on the sides of the head are called 'Pe-ot', plural of 'Pe-ah'. There is a commandment in Judaism that forbids on cutting the hair in those areas of the head (as in shave it completely, it's fine to trim it) and in many Jewish communities and subcultures we grow those hairs long as a sign of strong faith, so it's a very symbolic and religious aspect of Jewish life. Cutting it like this is a worse offense than shaving violently a woman's head for example, similar but with added emotional weight. Hope it was clear and we explained it well🙏

[@jumpingmanatee]

Hello you two ! It's always hard for me to watch movies about the Holocaust 😢 I met one survivor in Paris (I'm french) with my classmates when I was 15 years old. He was deported at Bergen-Belsen when he was 12 and he's dead know 😢 If you're interested, there's french movies, always about the Holocaust, who are good too : " Le voyage de Fanny " (" Fanny's travel ") and " Un sac de billes " (" A bag of marbles ") the two are adapted of true stories. There’s also another one called " Au revoir, les enfants ! " (" Goodbye children ") much more tragic. I would like to see your reaction on the scene where they put rocks on Schindler's grave. By the way, if you didn't know it, it’s Liam Neeson who putted the roses on it
