We are one of the classes, that watched the movie at cinema - this movie broke my heart, in the end one student said " oh only 6.000.000 people where killed - it was just a coment of a fourteenyear-old - but I hated him so much at this time because this movie make me cry a lot

Pardon but why do Germans hate them? Or in past. This movie I’ve seen hundreds of time.

@@shivanksingh6468 Judaism in Europe in the high to late medieval times was always targeted and looked down upon. It's not hard to imagine this with the mass hate and convoluted hate towards Muslim Religions nowadays based on the actions of Terrorists.

Germans are different than Americans when it comes to stuff like this. Germans want to remember so it never happens again and Americans want to forget, lie and try to tell you their dirty deads never happened to only insure it will happen again.

@@shivanksingh6468 Antisemitism and distrust of jews has a *looong* history in the world, especially europe. Jews where not allowed to have most jobs because they belonged to a different, "weird" religion and culture, and so they were only trusted with loaning money/working in banks, something that is seen as a dishonest and filthy job. They also would typically live by themselves in tight communities, not really interacting with the rest of the population where they lived, which also made people suspicious of them. On top of that, whenever disease would spread among a population, jews would usually get away pretty unharmed because of two things: the prior mentioned little interaction with other parts of the population made it so they wouldn't be targeted by disease as much, aswell as the custom of washing their hands: something that is a religious practice for jewish people, but it was not common among other medieval europeans, so eventually this led to rumours of jewish people casting curses and disease on other people, jews being greedy servants of the devil, and eventually in modern times, that jews control the entire world (because they have always been pretty well-represented in high-end jobs like banking, law, financial sectors etc.) Nazi germany used a combination of very old folktales and distrust of jews, and their current standing as a rich, successful minority, in a germany that was struggling financially after the first world war, as a scapegoat for everything that went wrong for them. As such, it was quite easy for Hitler to point the finger at the jews and say "LOOK! We are all miserable, yet the jews still have their riches and their weird habits. THEY are controlling the world and conspiring to eradicate us true germans". If you genuinely believe that is becomes quite easy to dehumanize and be ok with the holocaust.

I remember the first time I saw this film I was sobbing uncontrollably, I couldn't have spoken to anyone about it through the sobs

Reminds me of Desmond Doss in Hacksaw Ridge. "One more..."

I think the blame falls into time, It is already a 3 hour Movie

This is such a fantastic quote.

We went to Buchenwald in school. I will nerver forget the feeling of hopelessness I felt there.

@@KittieCat901 I've been to Sachsenhausen. One brilliant design detail was recreating the original concrete wall that held its prisoners in, but with little gaps every few feet to draw attention to how easily we can casually enter and leave a place that killed so many.

Think its better in the aspect of the Genocide Happening in Gaza that we do not see this as a Holocaust only to Jews but that it can be directed to anyone and in this case its directed at Palestinians. Instead of Crematoriums its bombs falling by the hour in Gaza. There are over 50 families probably way more now in Gaza where the whole family tree is erased and its no one left. We will hear the same stories from Gaza as we heard of those who survived the Holocaust and we will Have Thousands upon Thousands of Anne Frank in Gaza that had hope and dreams that are now shattered into dust.

So true.. especially with the rise of right wing fascism here in the USA and abroad

@@dougs7367 ...and left-wing fascism too. The Soviets were pretty hard on Jews -- and individuals with left-wing fanaticism on college campuses are actually calling for genocide of Jews.

And, doug7367, don't forget about left-wing fascism too. The Soviets were pretty hard on Jews -- and individuals with left-wing fanaticism on college campuses are actually calling for genocide of Jews.

Jurassic Park came out before Schindler's List and it was a Milestone. Jurassic Park made 1.057 Billion Dollar and Schindler's List made 322 Million Dollar, which is not bad but not the top. Of course, when it comes to your personal opinion, it's different. I like both.

@@Rex.in.Aeternum its not about money..its about the story and messge

@@viniltej9675 When it comes to facts, it's still not the best. Get over it.

​@@Rex.in.Aeternumthere's nothing factual about whether a movie is "the best" or not lol. it's a completely subjective matter, facts play no part in it.

About the Hitler Youth: i think that's something many non Germans forget or don't get to learn about at all. They mostly just said "all Germans were N*zis" but there were so many non n*zi Germans who got the punishments for the actual horrific N*zis (most of them sadly escaped before Germany was occupied by the allies and lived long lifes). My grandpa (German) was forced to go to the Hitler youth and later on he fought in the west and lastly in the east. He then was captured in one of the Russian camps until he was reunited with the family members who survived. He was 16. It's heart-breaking what the NS regime did. But my heart also breaks for all the soldiers and families all around the world

Where can we see these pictures? They should be shown for people to see the horrors.

My mother burned all of them because Dad would take them out to relive.....She saw what that did to him... But a google search will get a ton of results@@nestormurcia6681

I hope those kids survived and your dad was a good man to treat those kids with compassion

ok lil bro

and in Norway it is shown in most schools

​@@thesenate9455Indeed. We watched it in the theater when I was... I think around 12. My teacher in ethics and religion (I suppose the class would be called nowadays) also showed us One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in the fifth grade. Impacted me immensely.

I attended high school in the US from 2012-2016 and one of my history teachers showed our class this movie. It hit me hard, and I have watched it again many times since.

Not only successful, it's important. It will still be important in a 1000 years.

Now you need to see the soviet movie "Come And See".

@@agskytter8977 Fuck yeah, everybody should watch Come And See.

What? Just watch it.. Like, it's not difficult not to close ones eyes and sit still for x time.

@@OriginalPuro That is, by definition, not *watching*

@@MySerpentine Thank you! Some people clearly struggle with words and concepts beyond their comprehension level.

As a Jew with many dead relatives who passed away horrifically in similar fashion, I have less than zero interest in watching this for entertainment….. same goes for Sophie’s Choice.

I saw it when it was originally released and can’t watch it a second time.

jp war is always horrid. Look at unit 731, for example, the fatal experimentation on Russians and Chinese. Most of those people went significantly unpunished.

@@oDv. War can definitely become an excuse for people to indulge in dehumanization. Even Schindler himself started out taking advantage of others' misfortune to get rich.

​@jp3813 Schindler was also a spy for the Abwehr in in Poland and Czechoslovakia and helped gather intelligence that was used in the planning of the invasions of those counties.

There's an early 90s video interview with a lady who worked in Goeths villa with Helen Hirsch and she describes exactly what Goeth and Schindler were like.

The house where he Shooting people in the camp, wasnt on a hill. He cant look inside the camp from there. So He cant shoot people from there! So much what you Said, they make him not evil enough. Maybe they Make him more evil than he was.

Yep, with the actors who portrayed them in the movie

A large part of the Soviet victims was due to the communist ideology of disdain for human life. Soviet strategies never included any means of sparing their own soldiers' lives. "U nas lyudiey mnogo" ("There are lots of people in our country") was their main guideline resulting in countless unnecessary deaths. As for civilians, they were killed by the secret political police at least as often as by the Germans not to mention the fact that some of those people were actually Polish citizens living in Eastern territories occupied by the Soviet Union since September 17, 1939 (as the country you admire so much was going hand in hand with Germans until June 21, 1941) that were made Soviet citizens whether they wished it or not. So, some abstinence in your worship for that nightmare state is highly recommended.

I met a survivor of the Holocaust when I was 15 with my classmates during a scholar trip

Well said

It was an actual event. The architect shot upon Goeth's order was Diana Reiter from Kraków.

I met a french survivor of the Holocaust (I'm french) during a trip in Paris with my class when I was 15.

And Spielberg originally asked Polański to make "Schindler's List" as he thought it was too hard for him, but Polański refused as the topic was even harder for HIM since he was in the Kraków ghetto as a kid and managed to escape it during the liquidation depicted in "Schindler's List". His pregnant mother was not so lucky and was killed in Auschwitz.

As far as I know it was Helene Hirsch

@@manuelkant3685 no, the woman was a child back then

And Dr Strangelove

Schindler and his wife were Roman Catholic, and it was nearly impossible for them to divorce at that time, and though they remained married, they lived apart even after they escaped to Argentina. Good point about no rejoicing at news that the war had ended - their families were gone, their homes were gone, no country had been willing to take them, they had no money, etc. BTW, Schindler and Stern didn't actually create the list (Schindler was temporarily imprisoned and Stern was working for someone else when the lists were compiled by another Schindler accountant/manager, the Goldman character, and others - another abridgment of an event too involved to present in even a long film). Stern did form a connection with Schindler and did subtly prod his conscience. Nazi policy from early-on was that Jews (and to a lesser extent a few other minorities) who couldn't work should be starved or executed as soon as possible. Those who were deemed "essential workers" were intended to be worked to death.

They also left out Emilies involvement at all. Which isn’t reality, she also helped out and took care of Jews in the factory

That's completely normal. I live in France and when I was 15 my history teacher organised a school travel in Paris for visiting the Jews' memorial and meeting one survivor of the Holocaust

lol

He was freed and pardoned after only two months though.

No it was not his daughter. Her name is Olivia Dabrowksa. She’s in no way related to Spielberg.

Deshalb nur noch die AfD! 💙

This applies to far left ideologies as well.

The russians captured many German scientists, including Nazi party members, and kept them alive to be useful to the soviet union. It was called Operation Osoaviakhim. The russians also kept a great deal of property belonging originally to Jewish families, taken during the Holocaust, while the Americans repatriated as much as they could.

the problem is people from Palestine are guilty of genocide as well. but they try to put fancier words behind it. a nice title to try and deny they are willing doing such evil acts- and would very happily do so worldwide if permitted. they hide behind the words "honor killing" to legalize and excuse the murder of those in their culture they have no tolerance for. in the very same way the nazis had towards the jews. so the Palestinian people, are no exception

@@lawenda-prowansalska5450 it applies to anyone who thinks their way of life is right or better. if a people think they are better, or are ordained by god to improve society or change it in a way they think is better....both groups of people will gleefully do the absolute worst evils imaginable without a second thought. and this expands to ANY- i say again... *ANY GROUP OF PEOPLE* with that EVIL mindset.

It’s a shame but educators (I use that term loosely) such as yourself. That fill your students heads with ignorance are on par with any crooked cop!

Amon Göeth was embezzling money from the Camp, if Schindler knew, that was leverage. That could have gotten him the death penalty if he was caught.

Where were you? They DID show us their reactions all the way through.

18,000 killed according to Hamas. Not saying there hasnt been many civilian deaths, I'm sure there has been, but any numbers Hamas claims has to be taken with a grain of salt. Also, Hamas hides behind civilians like the piece of shit cowards they are & they prevent civilians from leaving.

Holocaust cost lives of six million people. The population of Gaza is growing from year to another. So be so kind not to use words the meaning of which you do not understand. And try to recall who started it all by kidnapping and killing Israelis.

The Peel Commission. ( peace between Jews and Arabs in the region ) Arab turned to violence 1947: Arabs attacked the new Jewish state 1967: The Arabs, lead by Egypt and joined Syria and Jordan, once again sought to destory the Jewish state. This war was called the Six day war and was a stunning victory for Israel. Not only did it win Palestine. While the Isreali government debated on giving the land to Egypt and Jordan or make the land its own state. The Arabs met and created the 3 No policy. NO peace with Israel, No Recognition, No negotiations. The leaders of Israel later gave the territory and later gave the Arabs land. Egypt got the Sinai Peninsula, Palistne got the West Bank. Who later declared their independence in the 80s as Palistne. Israel let this happen homing it give them peace. Camp David in 2000 In 2000, Isreali Prime Minister Ehud Barak met in Camp David with the Leader of Paliste. Chairman Yasser Arafat to conclude a new two step plan. Barak offered 94% of the West Bank, Gaza and independence and East Jerusalem as its capital. But Yasser said no As a response, Palestine launched a bloody wave of suicide bombing that killed over 1000 Isrealis. The bombed Busses, Weddings, Pizza parlors. In 2005. Israel gave Palestine the Gaza strip. Instead of making it a great nation and developing this territory for its citizens. It became a terrorist base for Hamas. From where they fired 1000s of rockets into Israel. Camp David 2008 In 2008, Israel tried yet again. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert went to offer the same deal as 2000 even more. Like before. The leader of Palestine: Mahmoud Abbas said No 2020 Peace Deals. In 2020, The United States and Israel will be led by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. Created a deal called the Abraham Accords Bahrain, The United Arab Emirates and later Sudan. Agreed to sign for peace. Palestine refused. 2023: A peace deal was signed on October 6th, 2023. On October 7th during one of the most important Jewish holidays, Gaza and Hamas attacked Israel killing 1,200 people Palestine and Gaza are the aggressor
