The current First Lady of Poland is the granddaughter of a woman who was on Schindler's list. She was the only member who survived

I was 13 years old. My parents took me to the theatre to watch it as WW2 and the Holocaust was apart of my school exams. From start to finish no one in the theatre moved. When the credits rolled, no one moved, no one said a word. We all sat there in silence until the lights went on. I’ve never experienced anything like it ever again.

Not gonna lie....I saw this movie for the first time when I was 11 years old, living in Japan, because my father was stationed there. I saw a warning about violence and nudity, and was "all in".....What followed was two hours of history....It changed my life...This movie should be required viewing....

Those who ignore history, are destined to repeat it. Deep respect for Schindler

When I visited Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, two items were on my mind, one conscious and one unconscious. I consciously looked for the Emmanuel Ringlebaum diaries, but never did find them. As I made my way through the museum I noticed a glass case at a distance. In it were what appeared to be pages from a book. I edged closer (the museum was crowded with school children) I saw that they were typewritten pages. In an instant, I realized what I was seeing. I reached the glass case and, in spite of the rules, I had to put my hand on the glass for it was Schindler's List. I stood there crying my eyes out, sobbing uncontrollably. I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned to see a very pretty high school girl and she handed me a tissue. I will never, ever forget that moment. Not ever. I will return to Yad Vashem and I will find the diaries, but will read the transcript first.

I remember forging my parents signatures on the permission slip to see this for history class, and came away stunned. Schools didn't cover the Holocaust in any way like this film and it brought a gritty realism to what we only got in a couple pages in books. There was a huge uproar at the school after some kids came home completely traumatized, and I'm glad to this day that the teachers stood their ground and continued showing this in the years after as part of their class.

When the descendants of the people saved by Schindler’s list file past in colour, I just become a basket case. What a brilliant way to reinforce the importance and impact of that list in real life.

I had forgotten how hauntingly beautiful the score is.

I took a class on Nazi Germany which required a great deal of reading, writing and thinking about this terrible time in history. It went on for a full semester, and by the end, I felt traumatized in a way no other class had ever done to me. The class delved deeply into the whole situation and is forever etched into my mind and psyche. I am glad I took the class, since it brought me up close to the time, but at the end, I remember coming home, sitting at my table, and sobbing uncontrollably for a time, as if my heart had broken into a million pieces, which it had done. The impact of this class was stronger than any I ever took and I will never forget it. Schindler's List ranks with the same weight on my heart as this class, even though it did not go on as long as the class, and bravo to those people who can, and are willing to bring this dark time into the light for us all to remember.

Man what a great guy Robin Williams was... How can someone bring so much joy to others and still be sad himself.

I have a strong connection with this movie because when I was in elementary school, one of my teachers was an actual Holocaust survivor and she had the tattoos on her arms, but some ignorant classmates thought that it was cool, I just saw them and knew what they meant… Such a horrific time in history

Schindler's List is still a masterpiece. I cannot believe that this movie turns 30 this year. One of the greatest films EVER made even though it is a very dark, somber and heartbreaking film.

I watched it as a teenager back in the 90s, maybe 13 or 14 years old. It struck me. We learn a lot about the Holocaust in school in Germany, so of course, I already knew a lot. But having it, not in a documentary, but in this movie was so different. I think, Schindlers List is one of the most important movies of all time. It is a reminder and a warning. The actors were amazing as well as the music. In a lot of schools in Germany, Schindlers List is watched in 9th or 10th grade with the whole class. Yes, it is traumatizing, but in my opinion, as a 15 or 16years old, it is time to watch it and realize how fragile our society is and how easy it is to start hating someone for being different just because someone tells you "they are the reason for your problems".

I remember watching it in the theatre with my Grandmother. I felt like a monster because I wasn't crying like most were. (I still found it extremely somber) Then when the end came where Schindler is bashing himself for being greedy and not saving just one more life, the floodgates opened for me. (It still does to this day)

One of the most powerful movies ever made. Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson and Ben Kingsley did a real good job on their roles. All three should have won Oscars, Ralph Fiennes' performance really made you want to hate him.

30 years later:Still an unforgettable masterpiece

It wasn't a "brutal depiction", it was simply an accurate depiction

This movie was so hard to watch. Not because it was bad but it just shows how a powerful of a movie this was and it’s unforgettable

You don't watch Shindler's List, you experience it.

It was the greatest and at the same time the most painful movie to watch. The actors were traumatized during just filming it. I cannot even imagine the pain of the poor people who survived and died in real life. I spent time with famlies of survivors growing up in the 70s and the pain was openly talked about but never taught to me in school except for the Diary of Anne Frank. I did not know how awful it was. Thank you to all who worked so hard to share their stories and never forget.
