    Spielberg made the girl in the red jacket promise him that she would wait until she was 18 to watch it. She did not. At like 11 or 12 she saw it and was horrified. But then she watched it again after turning 18 and realized just how important a film it was & is proud to be part of it.

    No one is ready for this movie. I have heard that Ralph Fiennes (who of course also played Voldemort later) played Amon Goeth so well that a survivor of his camp who was on the set started shaking uncontrollably. Having said that, they actually toned down how horrible he was.
    I have only been to one Holocaust memorial site. I was visiting Rezekne, Latvia, the town my great-grandparents came from (my family left around 1905 but relatives remained). Outside of town is a LONG, narrow grass field which is a mass grave of 5000 people machine gunned to death by an Einsatzgruppen (the early execution squads). Walking along that field took a long time...really drove home what "5000 dead" means.
    Also in that town is the last surviving synagogue, the "Green Synagogue." It was a condemned building. The only reason it survived is it was near the trains station so Jews on their way to the camps were kept their before being transported. It also happened to be down the street from where my great-grandparents lived. So they almost certainly had been in that synagogue...possibly even married there. Standing inside that condemned building, in the light coming through the remaining stained glass, thinking about my great-grandparents and the Jews on their way to misery and death, I decided to try and save the synagogue.
    When I got back to the states I got started. I am not good at fundraising, but I was able to get a grant from the World Monuments Fund for a site survey and restoration plans. That was all I managed to do, though my efforts did inspire the local government to shore up the building somewhat so it wouldn't keep deteriorating.
    Ten years later I get an email from someone in the Norwegian government. As part of Latvia's entry into the EU, Latvia and Norway were cooperating on some cultural projects and they heard about the Green Synagogue. They asked me if I had blueprints for the restoration. I did, so I sent them. The restoration was finished about 4 years ago. So my dream came through, with a lot of help.

    You should check out Jennifer Tiege who is biracial German woman. Her birth parents are Nigerian father and German mother. She was initially in foster care but eventually adopted. During her childhood she had some contact with her mother but mostly her grandmother. After high school she moved to Paris to study where she became a close friend of an Israeli woman. Her friend invited her to visit Israel which she did. While in Israel she fell in love and ended up living there for several years. Eventually she returned to Germany and got married and became a mother. One day after dropping the kids at school, she went to the library. Roaming in the stacks searching for something of interest she picked up a book. It was about being the child of a Nazi war criminal, it was the story of Amon Gothe daughter. As she browsed the pages she recognized some of the people in the photos. There were pictures of her biological mother and grandmother. She was devastated, she was in shock, almost incapacitated. Unable gather the ability to drive 'she had to call her husband to come get her. It was several weeks for her to grapple with the reality of heritage. She wondered how to reveal her connections to fer grandfather to friends and especially her Israeli and Jewish ones. This she did gradually. Part of the process was her book "My Grandfather would have shot me ".

    Being a baby boomer, many of my generation immediately understand exactly what is going on when the engineer is shot (and it’s not puzzling at all). If you were targeting a people for degradation and extinction, who would you target first ? Well, the intelligentsia. (Which, of course, is precisely why you don’t disclose that you are an educated Jew, but rather a blue collar worker of use to a war economy.) Listen to the exchange from this viewpoint and you’ll immediately understand.
    Reiter: I'm a graduate of Civil Engineering from the University of Milan.
    Amon Goeth: Ah, an educated Jew . . . like Karl Marx himself. Unterscharführer [junior squad leader] !
    Hujar: Jawohl?
    Amon Goeth: Shoot her.
    Reiter: Herr Kommandant ! I'm only trying to do my job !
    Amon Goeth: Ja, I'm doing mine.
    And naturally her recommendation would be followed because she was an educated engineer.
    Actually I’ve had to post this explanation on many such reviews for those who don’t grasp exactly what is going on and why. No fault of the younger generation. They simply weren’t taught about the Holocaust in depth.

      It's not just that, it's the basic psychology of dissociation that allows people to comply with their own exploitation/death. You have to create structure with your cruelty so that there appears to be reason for it, otherwise you risk revolt. But younger people today have a very hard time grasping that type of depravity; so much so that nowadays, movie villains have to have sympathetic backstories (CRUELLA, etc.) because the very concept of evil and its subdivisions is foreign to them.
      I'm GenX and its weird watching reaction channels where people in their 20s struggle to emotionally process movies that I watched repeatedly when I was half their age.

      I’ve actually gotten rather tired of the sympathetic villain. They’re over done and often seem to revolve around this wrongful mindset of “forgive them by not punishing them.” Even Christians, despite what stereotypes would have you believe, are not supposed to follow this mindset. There should be punishment just as much as forgiveness.
      Maybe it’s because I had really cultured/educated parents, but I just can’t enjoy most shows and movies now if they try to claim they’re being philosophical or something whenever I see the most basic and most pandering works ever created. I’m talking the lowest, common denominator.

    Some had to leave part-way through the movie due to the memories being too intense. But all those that managed to stay to the end had to spend about 5-10 minutes after the credits ended just to compose themselves. Fortunately, the movie theater staff showed us the courtesy of keeping the lights dim, so everyone wouldn't have to be seen until they had recovered the composure.

    According to Wikipedia, the train of women that got sent to Auschwitz wasn't just because of a "paperwork mistake". Goth was arrested in Sept 1944 (for, among other things, not adequately feeding his prisoners?), and was replaced as commandant by Arnold Buscher. Buscher might have disliked Schindler for some reason, but had the 300 Jewish women sent to Auschwitz intentionally and asked the commandant there, Richard Baer, to give Schindler 300 different Jewish women. When Schindler went to Auschwitz, he bought/bribed Baer to get his own people back.

      As far as I know, the women were sent to Auschwitz for quarantine measures. The Nazis had the policy that new arrivals to concentration camps had to be disinfected and put into quarantine. The men were sent to KZ Groß-Rosen which was close to Brünnlitz. The reason why the women weren't sent there too was because there were no female guards in Groß-Rosen and the Nazis had the rule that female inmates had to be dealt with by female guards or kapos. It was a measure to avoid rapes (not for any humanitarian reasons obviously, they didn't like 'bloodmixing').
      It's possible that the information in the Wiki article is true though I'm a bit wary of using Crowe as a source. His biography of Schindler contains some questionable info. Anyway, getting the women out of Auschwitz again was extremely difficult. If you were sent to Auschwitz, you weren't meant to leave, ever. Schindler however never went to Auschwitz, he sent his secretary to bribe the Kommandant (the bribe did include diamonds as shown in the movie).

    The movie was a roller coaster of emotions. When it starts, you doesn't feel a lot of pain because every films make us think that's not real, but this movie tries to teach us this was real, and Spielberg wanted that. My friends watched it because a petition from me. I ask them what they thought about that, and they took several minutes to talk.

    I watched this in theaters when it came out.
    I watched it in silence. I remember the feel of my tears sliding down my cheeks...I remember them as feeling cold.
    I've watched enough reactions that it seems I've actually rewatched the whole of it again, though despite owning a copy, I never have.
    Something I remember so sharply, though I don't think I've ever heard anyone mention it once...the rubber treads of the tires of Nazi vehicles rolling over a road made from headstones knocked flat and moved into a jigsle puzzle of a road...the names and dates still perfectly legible as if the road is kept clean just for the added insult, as if Nazi soldiers needed that added feel of triumph.
    My mind adds in the sound of the vehicles in Terminator rolling over skulls, crushing them beneath the vehicles' weight
    With so much horror to remind us of our ( the human race, WWII ) past, it's probably not noticed amidst the rest.

    Defiance is another Holocaust-based film that I highly recommend you checking out - packed with drama, horror and action.
    It’s based on the story of the Bielski partisans (resistance fighters led by the Bielski brothers - Tuvia, Zus, Asael and Aron) hiding in the Belarusian forests during the Nazi occupation of most of the Soviet Union (in which Belarus was part of at the time).
    Another film I recommend checking out is Valkyrie - based on the Nazi officials led by armed forces Colonel Claus Von Stauffenberg who attempted to kill Hitler on 20th July ‘44. Shows you events leading up to it.

    This is a heavy one, and one that everyone should see but I'd like to suggest another movie; that being Defiance starring Daniel Craig and Leiv Schriber featuring the true story of the formation of a community of Jews in the eastern European forests who fought with anything they had to preserve themselves and their way of life. I think it would be excellent to react to and even if you don't post a reaction to it I hope you see it anyway.

    Kay if you are willing to sit through an example of the "real thing", see the documentary "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey," which chronicles the British liberation of Bergen-Belsen camp (where Anne and Margo Frank died). The films making is described in another film called "Night Will Fall." An earlier film is on the death camps is 1956's "Night and Fog," BTW Ben Kingsley played Anne Frank's father Otto in a 2001 TV drama about her.

    I never felt the need to watch this film until I was an adult, because as a Jew I had the horrors of the Holocaust drilled into my head near-constantly growing up. So seeing it the first time was not this transformative moment for me the way it is for many, but just a well-made reaffirmation and generator of dull rage.
    As I've gotten older I've become less interested in chronicling the minutea of the outcome, and more in how this kind of ideology came to power in the first place in order to try to prevent it happening again. And it has been quite stressful to see how many places in recent years - including here - have initiated the start of that machine. I saw a comment or two in this very section trying to downplay or obfuscate these events.

It was heart breaking. The World War II interested me because at that time, there was a lot of movies and documentaries about it.

    The book Schindler's Ark, by Thomas Keneally, brought the story to public prominence in the 1980s. One day, Keneally walked into a leather goods shop in LA (I think). The owner got chatting to him and found out he was a writer. 'Well, let me tell you a story', said the owner, or words to that effect. The owner's name was Poldek Pfefferberg. (Poldek is the one clearing bundles from the road and saluting the Nazis).

    This filmed was adapted from the true book "Schindler's Ark." When the film was first released it was banned completely in Malaysia as "pure Jewish propaganda " (the ban was eventually lifted) and in it's un-cut form in The Philippines due to the sex scenes. Steven Spielberg then refused to release a cut version there. Eventually The Philippine Censorship Board was disbanded and the film was then released there uncut. It is shown in German schools and was shown on American Network television (NBC) un-cut and commercial free. Spielberg was editing "Jurassic Park" while filming "Schindler's List." Universal only agreed to finance "Schindler's List" if Spielberg agreed to direct "Jurassic Park." When composer John Williams was shown a rough cut of the film he told Spielberg that he "you need a better composer for this film than I am." Spielberg responded with "I know. But they're all dead." Williams won both an Oscar and a BAFTA for his score.

    Amon Goeth's real life granddaughter, Jennifer Teege, is biracial. She wrote a book about her family called 'My Grandfather Would Have Had Me Shot." It's a good read. When I think of Schindler I'm always struck by the fact that, had he been a better, more decent person, he couldn't have done what he did. It took a self-serving scoundrel to create the situation he found himself in when he finally realized that he could not abide the slaughter of children and took his stand against the Nazis. A "decent" man never would've been in the position to do what he did.
