    I dunno how deep the decision was to put the girl in red coat. It could be a spur of the moment thing. But it was brilliant

    And to think people are not shocked when people are glorifying this part of history now. And they are doing it in the open and up front.

    This was one of the most important movies ever made. It shows how atrocious the Nazis were during World War II. Every minute was intelligent, and true. When I saw the little girl in red on the cart I was reminded of how cruel , and unforgiving it was for the Jews. 💔😰

    I remember vividly the first time I watch this movie. It was over the course of a week or so in modern world history class my freshman year after finishing our world wars unit. The initial plan was to see a Holocaust survivor speak, but that plan crumbled. Instead, we watched this movie. I remember seeing the little girl and noticing all the chaos going on around her and seeing her carry on. A couple days later when we continued the movie, I wanted to cry out when I saw her on that cart. So that’s how fifteen-year-old me’s life changed when it came to truly understanding the Holocaust.

      The term “genocide” has been used so wrongly now, genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, ethnic, national, or religious group. This can involve acts such as killing members of the group, causing serious bodily or mental harm, inflicting living conditions intended to destroy the group, and imposing measures to prevent births within the group. The term is often associated with historical events where large numbers of people were targeted for extermination based on their identity. The fact that gazas population has tripled over the year just dosent make it genocide, pretty much the opposite of genocide.

    The film would be better in color. The world is not black and white. We see colors and I don't think you can put yourself in the situation that well.

    Some people still think this is a factual movie. Its not. Go to any library and you will find the book in the fiction category.

    To me, light represented hope and that the little girl was the embodiment of that. When she is shown to have died, to have been swallowed up by the monstrosity of the evil brought on by the Germans, it symbolized the death of hope. Unbelievable use of symbolism in a movie. That image made me cry the first time I saw it.
