The girl was portrayed by Oliwia Dąbrowska, three years old at the time of filming. Spielberg asked Dąbrowska not to watch the film until she was eighteen, but she watched it when she was eleven, and says she was "horrified". Upon seeing the film again as an adult, she was proud of the role she played.

Usually, children are afraid to even look under the bed because they are afraid of 'monsters', but in this case it was the monsters sitting under the bed that seemed better to her than 'people'. It touches heart the most.

[@tylerdurden7500]

Having studied media I have no doubt that this is exactly what Spielberg intended. Notice the colour drain from her coat. So much meant by that. She becomes the same as the discarded objects in the room, to hide and to be discarded in the same shot. She doesn't become a person again until she's dead amongst a pile of dead. She is the symbol of the 'one life' in the Jewish saying mentioned in the film.

[@fiachraswaz]

the actor getting shot at 1:31 is fantastic. he may only have 5 seconds but he conveys the fear amazingly

[@NiVi192]

The pain and utter humanity in his eyes, played so well by Neeson. You can tell he's desperate to reachout to her and put her into his arms, but he can't. We are him in this clip, watching from afare unable to safeguard this little sweetheart wandering around the streets with no one left to take care of her!!

[@albinoman13bt]

She shows up again later in the movie. There's a scene where ash falls like snow. When Schindler investigates he finds they were ordered to dig up the bodies and burn them. You see the girl in red on a cart being wheeled to the fire.

[@charlie-obrien]

Absolutely horrifying, but nescessary, because it happened so many times to real children during the holocaust.

[@LATVERIAN1]

We long to take this beautiful little girl, in our arms, and keep her safe from such overwhelming evil. How tragic.

[@martindoherty6855]

I visited Auschwitz earlier this year and there are several rooms where there are just millions of shoes piled high together. It really brings home how very many were killed by the Nazis. Most of the shoes are black and dark brown but on walking through, I was suddenly struck by a small single pair of red shoes that were clearly those belonging to a young girl. They clearly stuck out from the rest. It reminded me very much of this scene and it was only on reflecting later that I wondered whether Spielberg had actually seen this and was drawn to the idea of the girl in the red coat.

[@antoniomiguel1425]

I think this was the exact moment that Shindler knew he had to do something.

It's sad that we're all like that, but I agree. But, as someone who's pretty pessimistic about life, the Germans (my family/ancestors) killed a lot of children. I don't view it as any other empires atrocities in history, because it wasn't so long ago. It makes you wonder, if this happened less than a hundred years ago, whats to prevent it again... Not a damn thing, but thats why I'm a pessimist.
