SCHINDLER’S LIST (1993) MOVIE REACTION FIRST TIME WATCHING FULL UNCUT REACTIONS / jynxryl follow us on insta - Jyn x Ryl jynxryl?hl=en Support the channel www.paypal.com/paypalme/jynxryl
It's, more or less, based on true events and those ppl were real. This story took place in my country, Poland. For me, it's one of the most important movies in history and yet, in depicting of war crimes, it's not even close to WW2 real horrors. Amon Goth was way more cruel and sadistic than what was shown in the movie and there were dozens of ppl like him. The former Shindler's Factory in Krakow is now a museum you can visit - it's a strong experience. Another great movie that is based on real events from WW2 is "The Pianist" directed by Roman Polanski with the main role played by Adrien Brody. Only by knowing history we have a chance to avoid its biggest mistakes.
Yes this movie has real events would happen World War II but a lot of people don't know it was the far-right Republican Party responsible for the Holocaust!
If i remember correctly, the movie is around 90% completely based on what really happened. When it came out it was a big thing that it so close to reality that it could be.
@@AdamVikingen I think most things are pretty accurate. There are few things dealing with shindler and what happened after he departed and went into hiding that weren't included so I can't really say that's not accurate. If it wasn't part of the post-war, it's just too much to be included. He went into hiding because he was after all a member of the Nazi party. He went to Argentina. Eventually came back to Europe. Was given 15,000 USA Dollar because he was indigent. Someone can make a movie about that but it should not be some sort of sequel to the original Schindler's list Imo. If you do not know about these things post-war, you would find it pretty fascinating. 🙏
Pay no attention to the people complaining that you don’t know these events. What matters is, you’re seeing it now. It was a major part of history. And I hope you two will continue to learn the events of World War II, and the holocaust. I’m still watching the reaction, but am enjoying it. I appreciate how you two are taking in all that is happening. Thank you for this reaction.
Thank you for your kind words ❤️ yes we know about the holocaust we just didn’t know about Shcindler and based on our research we’ve learned that some of the story which happened in the movie wasn’t entirely true but Schindler is a real person and he saved his workers. This was a beautiful movie.
I just got done leaving them a comment on how much they don’t know when how embarrassing it is before even seeing your comment.. and I wouldn’t change a damn thing about my comment because these kids today are so clueless. It’s painful to me and deserve to have people shaming them because if no one shames these people anymore, or anybody else, then nothing will ever change. The people that want to just be overly nice and give give give him not teach like you are the people to stay away from.
@@bmorg5190 Thank you for agreeing and to be honest I asked one of my son's friends where was the war in Vietnam fought and I know my son knows but his friend answered with Afghanistan
The Jeweler who made the ring at the end of the movie was the cousin of my wife's grandfather. The basic story is true but like any movie things were changed. The gas chamber did not use gasoline it used poison gas. For affect Speilberg made the shower scene look like a possible gas scene. However, the showers in Auschwitz were open air and would have never been confused for a gas chamber. Stern was a combination of about 5 people one of whom was named Izak Stern. If you were non essential you were killed plain and simple. So the kids who were taken away were transported either to Mauthausen or Auschwitz so that they could be put to death. The children after Schindler saved his woman were being taken under the same argument they were not essential. Schindler happened to be in jail during the above episode so again liberties were taken here for the movie. Schindlers Jews never forgot him. He was invited to all family celebrations and when he was down on his luck they raised money for him. Finally they paid for his body to be transported and interred in Jerusalem.
I don't remember the context of the use of the word gasoline in the movie, but gasoline is a liquide, so I hardly think they ment to say they used gasoline to gas. Also the gas Zyklon B is a pretty infamous and known name at this point.
I saw nothing in the movie that would imply "gasoline" was used in the gas chambers. In Aushwitz, few people arriving on the transports had any time to even discern what was a "shower area". The vast majority of them were dead within an hour after getting off the train. The "processing of arrivals was very fast and efficient. The point of the shower scene was not fool the modern audience but to share the experience of the people who would encounter it. They DIDN'T know anything that was in the camp or what was about to happen to them at any given moment and that's the point. Primo Levi explained this experience of constant uncertainty as an Auschwitz prisoner in his book SURVIVAL AT AUSCHWITZ.
@@davestang5454 I don't know about these people spesifically, but hiding jews did know. Talk and rumours about the horrors that was happening in the camps was well known among them. And no they didn't know exactly what was going to happen at any given time, no how the camp was built, but most of them had some sort of an idea.
In the theater where we watched this movie at the end, no one moved for several minutes. It was total silence. And as we filed out of the theater, not a dry eye.. It was eerie. The most emotional experience I ever experienced in a movie.
As a Jew and Israeli gay guy I appreciate the fact that you two young ladies sat and watched a movie that has all the disadvantages from the beginning (Black and white, long movie and war genre). You succeed very well You learn new things every day. מי שהציל נפש אחת כאילו הציל עולם ומלואו Whoever saves a single soul as if he saved the world entire ❤
The girl in red was a way to show that Schindler noticed her at a couple of turning points as his views evolved from purely profiteering to having some empathy. Although the Schindlers marriage failed and they separated, as Catholics it wasn't possible for them to divorce during that era. The movie adheres closely to real events (and the memories of survivors), but it was based upon a novel that put the events together in a narrative that includes things like private conversations (that can only be speculated) to tie the plot together. If anything, the horror depicted in this film was greatly toned down in order to be watchable. Amon Goeth, who was so well portrayed by Ralph Fiennes, was certainly a drunk, bigot, and sadist of the first order. Schindler was a longtime member of the Nazi Party and had worked to have his native Czechoslovakia annexed by Germany prior to the start of World War II. Great film to cover in your reviews: technically it is exquistely crafted, and the story is astounding and came out when there were still eyewitnesses - so great that those last scenes where the actors accompanied the real people they had portrayed allowed survivors to testify to what they'd experienced. Everyone in the cast gave career-best performances, too.
BTW, children, old people, women without needed skills, people who were disabled or unhealthy, were immediately killed which is why the children were separated. The women's hair was cut and stockpiled for various industrial uses (gunsights, rope fiber, bomb triggers, wool socks, carpets, upholstery stuffing, etc.). At Auschwitz, people were separated into 2 lines: one went to gas chambers that were disguised as showers and were killed by gassing; the other line went to actual showers where they were showered and processed for work in the camp. Even though an overwhelming percentage would die before the war's end, people sent to Auschwitz had a better chance of survival than Jews who lived in rural areas and small towns throughout eastern Europe, most of whom were simply rounded up and shot locally.
Fiennes portrayed him so well that during filming an older lady who was helping with accuracy, who was one of the survivors went into hysterics the first time she saw him in his costume, thinking that Goeth had come back from the dead to finish her off.
Ignore the ones complaining, yes I knew about the holocaust but I did not know about Schindler until this movie came out, same as you. Thanks for the reaction on the movie, it was good.
Thank you for this. We like learning new things and we can’t know everything. And I’m happy we found this movie so now we know about Schindler ❤️. We appreciate you.
They didn't know that much because they didn't understand the gas chamber scene. Not sure how you could know about the holocaust and NOT know or understand that scene and why they were all screaming.
Amon Goeth (played by Ralph Fiennes, aka Voldemort), aka "I pardon you", has a half-German, half-black granddaughter. She has a book about discovering who her grandfather is, called My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me: A Black Woman Discovers Her Family’s Nazi History. Her name is Jennifer Teege. Very interesting book!
When Steven Spielberg asked John Williams to compose the music for this movie he showed him a rough cut of the movie. Williams was so overwhelmed by the movie he told Spielberg that he couldn't because he wasn't good enough to do this movie justice. Spielberg replied to Williams " Yes I know, but all the others are dead"
I don't blame you for not understanding the shower scene but it made me sad. I'm sure someone mentioned in the comments below, but if not, the Germans gassed Jews in rooms designed to look like showers to keep them complacent. They were told they were going to get a shower, would be sealed in, and then poisonous gas would vent in through the shower heads. Stories of this rapidly spread throughout Europe, sometimes passed off as simple rumors. The women in the scene are anticipating death. That's why when it turns out to be a shower - it's such a joyful relief. And then, on their way out of the showers, they see others going into the building were gassing was done. Understanding that their joy is tempered by the death of others. They are lucky. Many, many more were not so.
I remember watching this in 1993....I was only 26 years old.... and walked away from this film a changed person. This film, and 9/11.... were the only times in my life where I wept for complete strangers..... it'll stay with me until I die..... God rest all the souls of those persecuted for no reason.... my Indian brothers and Sisters....my African Brothers and Sisters... and the Jewish Community on a whole....I hold you close to my heart....I always will.....
I love when young people realize the true horrors of war, it gives hope that this kind of thing will not be repeated. Schindler changed from a profiteering industrialist to one of the greatest humanitarians ever, yet his story is not taught in schools. This is one man in history that should not be forgotten.
Although there hasn't been a movie made about him and he has mostly been forgotten, you might want to check out Japanese diplomat Sugihara Chiune. He saved 5x as many Jews as Schindler did. Check out the documentary about him on RU-vid.
Grateful for this reaction. This is one of the most important films out there. Everyone should watch it at least once. Such an important dark time in history we must never forget. My grandparents suffered through this, and this is only half of what they went through. True horrors. I recommend Defiance with Daniel Craig and The Pianist with Adrian Brody. Both are also true stories during this time period and are very well done.
Thank you for such a sensitive, thoughtful reaction. Yes, it was a true story. It got to be a movie in a roundabout way. The original book was penned as a 'novel based on true events'. When Steven Spielberg learned about the book, he spent over a decade, contacting as many of Schindler's Jews as he could, along with Germans who had been there and other involved people who could still be interviewed; studied records and documents. So every moment that was used in the film was thoroughly researched, though compilations of some characters/scenes and so on were undoubtedly done to compress a few years of war into a couple of hours. But, yeah, it's true and those are really Schindler's 'children' there at the end, accompanied by the actors who played them. I think the flower was left by Liam. It looks like him. Also, he's Christian. Jewish people have a tradition of leaving stones on graves. So the film itself is the true story (with practical concessions made for a movie, and a lot of worse violence left out). The original novel took more liberties as the man who wrote that probably just didn't have the ability to track down people's accounts as Spielberg, and his was only written after speaking with the man who shared his story with him, so I guess he had less information to start with. Spielberg's research for this film led to 'The Shoah Project' which went on for - - well, as long as until the last Jewish concentration camp survivor who'd been old enough at the time to remember enough for an interview could be found or found them. The Shoah Project interviewed something like 50,000 people. It might still be ongoing, but most of those people are likely gone. Today, the Shoah Foundation continues to educate about and document survivors from other genocides around the world - - Cambodia, Rwanda, Armenia, Syria and more. Anyway, thank you for reacting to this film. You both did great. All the best.
@@rightfulcop Yes. Thoughtful. I'm Jewish and I didn't know who Oskar Schindler was until this movie came out. I appreciate people who want to take the time to learn. It means a lot to me. So, yeah. I mean what I wrote. And their comments were very thoughtful, unlike yours.
@@jillk368 their comments were ignorant, not thoughtful and you are a moron if you are Jewish and only learned about Oskar Schindler from a movie. You appreciate ppl who want to learn, from where, a movie? You learn from books, classes and at school prior to watching Hollywood movies, but you wouldn't know. And btw being Jewish and oblivious to your own heritage are not mutually exclusive, hence your silly comment.
Unfortunately for Schindler's character, he had to learn late that people's intrinsic worth far exceeds any of the riches he might of gained in the world because a person's worth is typically incalculable, since no one can necessarily predict the value or resourcefulness that just one life might bring to so many others. 😔
@@JynxRyl In one of your comments you said "The movie wasn't entirely true?" It was FAR FAR WORSE in reality. You don't even know the movie only shows showable aspects.
True story. There were many other German officials who also secretly helped. Some weren’t part of a underground resistance. They were just acting upon their inner convictions.
The "I could have got one more person out..." speech is the most guaranteed tear-jerker scene since "Bambi." I mean that as a high compliment! And you guys, properly, were wiping your eyes. Amazing movie. Great reaction. Never again.
Yes, this is a true story. My folks were Italian American. When I was a boy in the Bronx, NY, an old lady fixed my hand after I was bleeding from a very bad injury jumping a fence which would have required stitches. But there was no one to take me to the hospital and I had ran to her apartment. I saw a tattoo'd number on her arm while she wrapped the wound, and didn't know what it was until my father told me. I couldn't believe it. I was born only 8 years after this happened, and I never from that time on, trusted human beings to not be capable of evil.
Good story, Dan. As a kid from the Bronx everyone I knew and practically all my neighbors had done something life changing during the War. By far the nice guy in the local deli had the worst of it, with the number tattoo on his arm.
Thanks for your reply, well said. My dad and uncles all served in WW2. We began learning about these things from them, and in school, where there was no such justification for hatred as there seems to be today. We are going backwards it seems. @@johannesvalterdivizzini1523
Hey ladies, just started checking out your reaction videos and they are great! And yes, Schindler’s is a true story. I do believe people need to learn the past. Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. You ladies are beautiful, and keep up the great content. Much love and respect. Be safe, God Bless.
"It's allright, it's not that kind of a kiss." is very impactful, when you understand how thoroughly dehumanized Jews had become - his kiss was a reassurance to her - "not that kind of a kiss" is what you give a mother, or a sister, a friend - a fellow human! "Thank you!" she says.
“I couldn’t see my wife any more, she was swallowed up in the crowd. I couldn’t see my son any more either, he was swallowed up in the crowd, but my little daughter had a red coat, and that little red dot getting smaller and smaller, this is how my family disappeared from my life.” DR Martin Foldi talking at the trial of Adolph Eichman about losing his family in the gas chambers of Auschwitz
The fact that the evil Officer in this movie also plays a Senator in Maid in Manhattan tells me everything I need to know about him as an actor because WOW. Also, Liam has been a babe ever since I saw him in A Woman of Substance ❤❤❤ RIEP Natasha Richardson 🕊💔
Thank you for reacting to this. Such an important part of history we need to remember so it doesn’t repeat itself. I saw an interview with the blonde German girl yelling “Good bye Jews”, she was a young actress and wasn’t aware of the horrific atrocities that occurred. When she saw the movie she was deeply traumatized and never sought an acting career afterwards.
THAT LOOK YALL GAVE EACH OTHER at 20:37 😩👏🏽 I can watch a lot of things, but I had to take multiple breaks watching this movie. I was named after someone who survived the holocaust so it hits very close to home. I love this reaction, thank you 🙏🏼❤
Wow - I never thought about how it would feel to watch this whole movie without knowing it's a true story. I was crying along with you at the end. Thank you for taking the time to watch this film - I know it's a very difficult one to get through - and to learn about these stories. It really means a lot 💗
THE GIRLS KNEW ABOUT THE WAR, AND THE HOLOCAUST…. NOT SCHINDLER’S LIST. Which MOST people didn’t know about until the movie came out! Why all the anger?! If you’re so upset about a reaction, then leave the video. It’s that easy!
I'm Jewish and even went to Hebrew School. And I had never heard of Schindler prior to this movie coming out. For that matter, I didn't know about the Holocaust until my Bat Mitzvah year of Hebrew School (age 12-13). I remember coming home and asking my parents why I didn't know. I remember my mom just kind of said that it wasn't something she liked to talk about, and that her mother's generation pretty much didn't talk about it at all, including survivors, for years or decades. Many Jewish people, post war and until recent years, really didn't talk about the Holocaust. I haven't watched this reaction yet. I've gotten in the habit of skimming comments before I watch reaction videos. But based on a couple of comments here, I'm getting the idea that commenters are making a lot of assumptions where they should be embracing the idea that new people are learning about this part of history. It's important not that we know everything, but that we are interested in knowing more things, and taking the time to learn. I'm putting this video on my playlist.
@@kevinprzy4539 I don't doubt it; it must be unimaginably difficult to go through the trauma of war on a daily basis and then come home to people who love you but can't really understand what you've been through.
I think my favorite scene is the "pardon" scene. He actually does try to follow Schindler's advice and hand out pardons, but after he pardons that boy for not getting the stains out of the tub, he looks in the mirror and has a moment of honest self reflection...even if it is fleeting. When he touches the mirror and pardons himself, I believe he is contemplating whether redemption really is possible for him. He looks uncomfortable even looking at himself in the mirror and realizes it isn't possible. If redemption isn't possible, there is no reason try and change his ways anymore.
Also he saw that some of the dirt from the bathtub had gotten on or/and underneath his fingernails. And that was the end of that I believe. Hense the nail cleaning scene right after he k*lled that poor boy.
The shower scene was because the prisoners were told they were to be showered and deloused (and the haircuts) but in fact they would be murdered by poison gas. The bodies were then cremated, hence the chimneys. The hair was used for various manufacturing products.
When I saw this in the cinema as a teen I held it together - almost broke down in front of my girlfriend, but kept it together Then when it went to color and showed the real people I lost it The whole theater sat in silence after the credits
It was funny that you said the guy who Goeth tried to shoot and the guns wouldn't fire, was protected by God. He was the Rabbi so i guess if anyone was going to be protected by God it would be him. Just wanted to point that out because you didn't seem to make the connection between that scene and later when we realize that he was the Rabbi. Great reaction ladies.
Jyn and Ryl, One of the most brutal parts of the movie is when the little boy has to jump in the latrine to hide from the Germans. -------- I just picture myself hiding from a monster in a filthiest place I could ever imagine and times that by 10. -------- Only to be told by other kids to get out, this is there place to hide. ------- At that moment, I always become that little boy cold and afraid, hiding from the monsters.
I believe that during the shooting of the movie filming was so tough that Spielberg used to phone Robin Williams up and get him to talk and tell jokes to help alleviate his terrible feelings and emotions.....
Ladies, I would like to thank you for giving us a very beautiful reaction video. Watching you react to Schindler's List for the first time reminded me of when I went to see this film in 1993 at the theater. You felt the same pain audiences did back in 1993. This is a very difficult movie to watch, but so important to show and keep in the minds of people. Regarding the little girl in red, I remember an interview Steven Spielberg gave where he explained the little girl in the red coat represented America. She represented the fact that not only the German people, but the people of the world, including America were aware of the atrocities happening in the death camps during World War II.
Im not sure if the Allies did know what was going on for sure; when they discovered the concentration camps i think they were genuinely shocked and horrified
1. The Little Girl in the red coat actually survived the Holocaust. 2. Actual Schindler Jews were present during filming as advisors. When Ralph Fiennes walked on set in costume, he resembled the real Amon Goeth so much that some of the Schindler Jews began panicking in terror when they saw him.
Great reaction. Glad you are learning about an important, tragic event in human history. The girl in 'red' was important to the movie, as it's what really opens Schindler's eyes to what is happening around him, and makes him decide, 100%, to help the Jewish people. Hope that one day we can try to live with more peace in our hearts....one day! Keep smiling 👍🙂
The little girl in the red coat, is a first encounter of a little girl walking between soldiers, as if she was invisible. I watched a show on how Schindler's list was made. And, Steven Spielberg said that it made such an impression on him, that he had to highlight it
Hey Jyn and Ryl, Ralph Fiennes (Lieutenant Goeth) and many Nazls had no empathy or feeling for the Jewish people, they stomp them out like roaches. Goeth only likes his maid Helen, the way like your favorite coffee cup or shirt.--------- He sees her as an object he has gotten attached to. --------- He doesn't see her as a human being. --------- The Brutality humans can inflict under the guise of war, is so sickening.
The man who leaves a rose at the end was Stephen Spielberg. This story is 100% true, but Spielberg said that this was the sanitized version, he said what really happened the Jews during WW2 was too horrific to fully realize on film. Every young person should learn this in History class, but i suppose American schools are too preoccupied with American History, even though so many Jewish people were able to emigrate to the United States and make a life for themselves here because of the selfless sacrifices of real men like Oskar Schindler.
Thank you for watching these true events. History isn’t taught in schools like it used to be . If it isn’t there is great danger that mankind does not learn from it and repeats it. Other camps were much worse. Please looks up Nicholas Winton a quiet humble British ma. Who saved many many Jewish children on the kinder Transport. Our dear beloved Queen Elizabeth the second knighted him. Sir Nicholas. God bless you both for your service
In my high school we had a descendant of the couple that got married during the Holocaust to speak to us about how it's important to know our history. He also told us that in the movie "SCHINDLER’S LIST" there is a scene in the memory of his parents. That same day I looked and watch the "SCHINDLER’S LIST" for the fist time.
The only reason people know of Schindler is because of the movie, yes some knew of him before the movie, but very few. If you haven’t seen this film or had someone tell you about it, then you would never know about it. Its not exactly a common conversation topic lol but it is such a great film, it took me a long time to watch it because people told me all about it, so I thought “I already know what happens, why watch it?” But then I did and I was not prepared. I thought I knew, but I didn’t at all.
This movie always makes me emotional. My family is Polish; not Jewish, but the Nazis wanted to exterminate Poles as well, and other groups. My grandfather was 1 year old when the Nazis invaded Poland, so he was ages 1-6 during WW2. When he was a child, his parents once had to hide him in a ditch underneath a haystack to protect him, because at the time, the Nazis were going around his home town shooting random Poles. He, his parents, and all his siblings luckily survived the Holocaust. After the Nazis were defeated in 1945, Poland still struggled with the Soviets, because Poland was invaded by both Germany from the West and Russia from the East. My grandparents, my mother, and her siblings faced hardships in Poland under communism in the 80's. My grandparents eventually came to the US in the mid 80's, and then my mom followed them 10 years later in the mid 90's when she was a teenager. She had me a few years later. My grandfather just recently passed away after having lived a long life. I struggle to think of what would have happened if the Nazis had killed him in his childhood, or kidnapped him to Germanize him and strip him of his culture. When I was in high school, an English literature teacher of mine told my class stories of his father having fought against Germany in WW2. My teacher brought some Nazi armbands his father had collected from the war and my class was allowed to hold them in our hands. Being able to see, touch, hold, and smell something that was once worn by someone who would have shot me dead was an experience I don't know how to describe. I was scared of the history behind that piece of fabric, but at the same time, I was also proud that whoever first wore it was not the one who survived.
It might sound just unbelievable, but Amon Goeths grandchild is actually a black woman (-->Jennifer Teege)!! She had no idea about her family because she was adopted. One day she went into a library, took a random book out of the shelf, and on this random book cover there was a a small picture of an old woman on the cover. By browsing threw this book, she finds out that it was the story about her cruel grandfather.
Just stumbled upon your channel today. After I watched your reaction to Django and Braveheart I thought to myself "I hope they reacted to Schindlers List", and indeed you did. For me as a German it is particularly hard to be faced with the crimes of my people's past in such a way, but still it's one of my favorite movies. (Just to be clear, before anyone complains, no I do not feel guilty or responsible for the crimes that were commited by the German people during WW2, but it is still part of the history of my country, and this history has to be faced and processed.)
Hey Jyn and Ryl, The director Spielberg made this movie for his mother. ---------- Who lived through many of these atrocities of German persecution. ---------- He refused to even consider making this movie for the better part of 15 years. ---------- He thought the responsibility was to great a burden to bear, especially if he got the outcome was not his best, even better than his best.
It was a true story, and this was the movie which made Liam Neeson a household name. After he became the teacher of Obi-Wan, teacher of Batman, and someone saying I will find you the most threatening. I think Darkman was before this film
It's a true story ladies. About the great man, Oscar Shindler who did save all these people during world war two. The film is based on the book by Thomas Keneally. And in turn made into this film, by Steven Spielberg. One of the greatest directors of all time.
Lovely ladies, I enjoyed watching your reaction to this great film. I’m sure by now you’ve understood it was real events & the ppl at the end were the real people & their descendants from the real 2nd world war who were saved by Schindler. I’ve subbed coz you are sweet guiros & I enjoyed this vid. 💚
I am pausing @12:40: He told them he would "have them in Russia by the end of the month;" in Russia, Germany was fighting in the bitter cold against a massive army, that was kiiling much of the German army! Russia was much worse than fighting England and America. NO German wanted to go to Russia. At the end of the war, all of the Germans wanted to surrender to England and America, and avoid surrendering to Russians. Also 2,000,000 rapes were reported from the Russian soilders near the end of the war and after. At the end of the movie I want to say, this is a true story, with some "poetic liscence," and the people shown at the grave, are actual Schindler Jews, and the people that portrayed them in the movie. And also, Thank you for your tears. You made this review very enjoyable.
It is based on a true story, of course it is not a documentary, so some details did not happen or were different. For example Stern did not work alone, they put together three real existing characters to form Stern. Stern was one of them. And one thing: The German author Jennifer Teege, a daughter of the German Monika Hertwig and a Nigerian student that had a short relationship, discovered at the age of 38 that her grandfather was Göth. Monika Hertwig was the daughter of the Austrian Amon Göth and his German girlfriend Ruth-Irene Kalder. She wrote a book about her feelings when she discovered it: "Amon. My grandfather would have shot me".
You asked why they were killing the people who they found hiding in the ghetto - everyone was supposed to be out of the ghetto, so anyone they found hiding there was doing so "illegally" and was obviously a "troublemaker" that they didn't want to have to deal with in the camps, so they shot them on sight. If you were a Jew, you couldn't make trouble or take a break, or fail to work efficiently, because the efficient compliant workers were the only ones that had any value, and were thus allowed to continue to live. Anyone who couldn't or wouldn't work was either shot or sent to a deathcamp. Children typically couldn't work, so they were shipped off to be killed, which is why the guards at Auschwitz tried to keep the kids from boarding the train until Schindler explained how he used them to polish the insides of metal shell casings (thinking fast). In Auschwitz, they cut the womens' hair short because they used the hair to make yarn, from which socks for rail workers and submarine sailors were made (there were other uses for the hair as well; skin from corpses was used to make lampshades, and human fat was melted down for use in soap, too). The movie tones down the atrocities quite a bit, as Spielberg wanted people to actually be able to watch the movie, and was afraid that if he put in too much of the nasty crap the Nazis did to the Jews, people wouldn't watch. Yes, this is a true story at base, some parts were fictionalized to make a watchable, interesting movie, but as a whole, it's very real.
Why? They didn't need a reason, Except for one. I want you girls to read about the Holocaust, the real people behind all of these movies. I think it will help you understand things better. And yes it's based on true events, And that was actually Schindler's grave. The actor that portrayed him was Liam Neeson. All of the actors were with the real people they portrayed. Thank you for your sincere reaction take care and have a good day".xx
The part where his wife is like: "Promise me there will be no other women in your life but me." and it abruptly cuts to Schindler smiling and waving goodbye as her train pulls out of the station... that's supposed to be funny, right? Lol cuz I always laugh
According to Stephen Spielberg in the 30th anniversary of the movie interview, he said the ignored little girl in the red coat represents the Jews' suffering. The world knew what was happening to the jews yet the world did nothing.
