Schindlers List


And brave people who tried to shelter the vulnerable, like the man and friends that attemted to give Anne Franks family a safe refuge.
Her diary actually made me cry.
Everyone should read it.
And those who betrayed her fill me with rage.

I can understand quiet acquiescence, just putting your head down and getting on with it, trying to survive but to go out of your way to betray someone knowing that they will die is unfathomable. I hope whoever did that was haunted by their act of treachery until their dying days.
This is the clip I was referring to and apparently it was the same lady in the video you saw. She talks about Goeth and Schindler from 0.50 to 2.15.
I think this is the lady that met Goth`s daughter in the documentary that I saw, you`re right.

It's never been proven who it was has it. There's a few theories kicking about, but nobody knows for sure.
 
People who rate this film might find this book interesting.. If Amon Goeth wasn't a real person (can't remember), he was probably based on the author of this book..

Goth/Goeth was a real person.
 
Fantasic bit of film making and certainly widened holocaust awarness since its release, it should be noted however that is not historically accurate. Its worth doing some reading on Schindler, a complex character to say the least. Before the events for which he is rightfully famous he was a German spy and traitor against his own country who was jailed for this until the Nazis occupied Czechoslovakia, he then went on to run a spy ring which assisted with the invasion of Poland.

Mate, he was an absolute narcisist in his early life. That's what makes his change so astounding.
 
Tremendous picture, the end scene where Schindler realises he could have saved more only to consoled by the people he saved is impossible to watch without a tear.

His nephew was the notorious Austrian fascist and Holocaust Denier, Gerd Honsik.


Watched it several times, including in the original German version.

And did it answer the question asked by a few on this thread as to how any sophisticated nation could carry out such crimes?
 
Apologies for multiple posts. My screen kept freezing.
To be fair to the majority of modern German people, they are deeply ashamed of their nations actions back then marra. They are pretty relentless in their acknowledgement of their forefathers wrongs, and offer many attempts to show their deference to people who were wronged. The Stumbling Stones mentioned is just one example.
That even filters through into modern politics and events, hence their reluctance and reticence about providing Tanks directly to The Ukraine now. They are extremely pacifistic in matters of conflict and really don't want to get involved.
I personally don't think any nation could have handled it better than they have.

Never forget what happened, but blame should be reserved for those who actioned it, not those left to apologise.

The Nazis murdered over 500,000 Germans even before the Holocaust.

The German Communist Party (KPD) lost tens of thousands of members and was in resistance from the day that power was handed to Hitler. There was no shortage of resistance to the Nazis who NEVER won a majority of the German people.

The criminals and the guilty were the Hitler fascists and their supporter.
