      Couldnt agree more yet another fact that shocked me to my core, was Operation Overcast later called Operation Paperclip which was orchestrated under two different US presidential administrations, that had permitted over 1,600 Nazi soldiers, scientists doctors etc to escape accountability for their heinously sinister acts against Jewish persons, their records were wiped clean of any involvement during the Holocaust, they and their families were allowed to live in the US, as the Nazis were given various jobs within our US government branches, even creating nuclear weapons etc while they the mass murderers, their families lived, worked, attended school and so on, peaceful and without our own US citizens ever being aware of the monsters they were living near, working with etc

      ​​​@@michellesmith4570 my mom and dad took me to see this in theatres. They knew how important it was that my brother and i understood this war(my grandparents lived in italy under musolini).
      However, my Dad was an engineer and when I learned about Operation Paperclip I asked why we would do this if it goes against the principles we fought for. I felt the same as ypu do now.
      The reasoning goes something like this: at the time WW2 was officially over, but that didn't mean there wasn't still international political upheaval. The Germans had rocket tech/jet engines first so they had a head start, which meant more experience and more data. That information was being siphoned off by the Russians and if we hadn't done so aswell then they would have had the technology advantage.... not doing Operation Paperclip could/would have yielded a present day world with a alternate balance of power and probably not for the best.
      Giving some collaboration of Nazi's clemency in exchange for their scientific progress was needed to prevent Russia from doing what they are doing in Ukraine today but on a larger scale.

      An interesting, and related movie is 1962's Judgement at Nuremberg. Black and white film that depicts one court of the Nuremberg war crimes trials... LOADED with Hollywood elites... and even has Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) acting the the likes of Spencer Tracy, Judy Garland and Bert Lancaster. It may be a worthwhile reaction film for you as well....

    Schindler's arc is subtle: at first, Stern sneaks Jews into the factory without Schindler's knowledge. When Schindler figures it out, Stern lies to him. Then, with the Perlman couple, he objects that it's dangerous, but tells Stern to move them in anyway. Then he stops objecting. Finally, he's moving them into his factory by himself. By the end, he's openly trying to save people.

    WWII happened only 80 years ago, but as it passes from living memory, meaning those with first hand experience of it are almost all gone from this earth, it also seems to be passing from collective memory. I've seen several videos recently of young people around the world who've never heard of the holocaust, or anything about WWII. The dead and wounded military and civilian count is in the hundreds of millions, and after the war the slaughter continued in other places (e.g. the Soviet Union) for decades. As we forget about one of the biggest lessons history has to offer us we see people all over the world only too happy to bring back the conditions that precipitated the atrocities in the first place. I will never understand that kind of hatred.

    Ralph Fiennes who played Goeth took time in between takes to comfort the Schindler Jews on set as his performance and mannerisms were so much like him it caused panic attacks in some of them and he felt awful about it. Goeth was actually put in the sanatorium ( mental hospital) by the SS as even the Nazi party found his actions truly disturbing and considering what they did to people shows how truly evil he was, the allied forces foundhim at the hospitaland served justice. His grand daughter who is of mixed race wrote a book called My Grandfather would have killed me, as she had no idea who he was as never talked about.
    The Schindler Jews took care of Schindler in his old age as he was always part of lives after the war, when he passed away they paid for his funeral and for his body to be flown to isreal where he is buried in a jewish cemetery which was a honour bestowed upon him for what he did.

    The reason behind the prisoners putting blood on their cheeks and lips was to give their skin color and to make it look like they were healthy so they would stay in the camp. I learned that when I toured Dachau. Never again will I go into Dachau or Auschwitz. The air around the camps are heavy and still feel evil. This movie is a hard watch. And one everyone should watch once. I watch it every few years when I need a deep soul cleansing cry.

    34:38 "are we burying them now?" The Germans were afraid the Allies would find the mass burial of the jews. So they made inmates to dig up all the corpses, pile them up high like logs and set the fire. The remaining ashes and bones from the bonfire were crushed and scattered in near by forrest. Once done they killed the inmates who performed the job to eliminate witnesses. The burning of corpse is why this episode of WWII is called "Holocaust". In The jewish holy book, holocaust is burned offering to God. For this reason some Jewish groups prefer not to use the word Holocaust to describe this experience. They prefer the word "Shoah" which means "Suffering"

    This movie is about such a heart-wrenching topic but it's just the tip of the iceberg though. If this is a topic you want to learn more about there's a very well made documentary put out by BBC called "Auschwitz inside the Nazi state." It's a 6 part series. Also if you want to learn more about this particular camp and commandant there was a documentary on Amazon prime called inheritance (It's not free i had to purchase it for just a few dollars but it's worth it.) it's mostly an interview with the daughter of the commandant and also one of the Jewish girls who worked in the Villa at the time. They both travel back to Poland to the site of the camp to have a face-to-face interaction. It's very sad also very interesting to get such a first-hand account of things. I'm not sure it's something you want to put on your channel or not but it's definitely something you would want to check out for yourself if you're interested.

    Just so you know, your visceral reaction to the children being taken away with the mothers chasing them? I have read that was one of the hardest scenes for Spielberg too. Luckily for him, he was friends with Robin Williams, who would call him at night after a difficult day of filming and just riff on anything he could think of until Spielberg was laughing his head off. It helped relive the tension. I hope you had something to help you relieve the tension after watching this. Thank you for sharing this.

    Man, you do some of the best reacts. That one messed up WW2 movie you did "Come and See" is pretty rare, and you did it hella early.
    For more historical stuff, I highly recommend the 2016 TV series "The Terror" -- it's on AMC. Just watch the first season though, since every season is different. It has tons of actors from Game of Thrones and Chernobyl in it. I think you'd really mess with it. It's about the first british naval expedition where the wanted to find a passage across the north pole. The ship was called "the terror" and it ran into...some issues. I won't say more, but it's got some of the best acting I've seen in a minute.

    14:51 - 15:00 Those kids and grandkids in Germany and Austria rebelled against their parents and grandparents during the late 1960s and 70s - through alternative lifestyles, through music, through books, films and plays...and through political protest and violence. In 1968, Journalist Beate Klarsfeld actually slapped Federal Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger, who had been a member of the Nazi party - as a journalist, she had access to parliament, and she basically walked up to him, cried out "Nazi! You Nazi!" and slapped him full in the face. Many people, myself included, still consider this a heroic act. Then there was the abduction and eventual killing of wealthy businessman and former SS-member Hans Martin Schleyer by the Baader-Meinhof terrorist group and a lot of acts somewhere on the sliding scale of severity between those two. Several psychologists and psychoanalyst have written books or essays proposing that the violence enacted by 1970s terrorist groups was basically the now grown-up abused (grand)children of the Nazi generation acting out the abuse inflicted on them as kids. I do think there is at least some merit to this theory.

    During the 1930s, as Hitler rose to power, many Jews tried to leave Europe. But many countries, including the United States, wouldn't take them. Back then , it was okay to be anti-semitic, especially in politics. In fact, in some places, it was preferred.

    I saw this film in the theatre when it came out. I was 14 at the time. It was a lot to process, but I'm glad I saw it at that age. It's crucial that young people are educated on history, including (and especially, really!) the uglier aspects of it. They don't benefit from being spoon-fed white-washed, sanatized myths about their own and other people's nations.

    Thanks for the reaction India! But I do have to disagree when you say Schindler was a criminal. He was a saint who spent all his money and risked his life to save Jewish people. And I don't know that he "changed" all that much, he was never a violent person. Schindler died alone and penniless when he could have been a very wealthy man if he had decided not to help the people he did.

  • @kevind4850
    @kevind4850 5 місяців тому +2

    Good reaction on such an important film (though certainly it is difficult to watch). Multiple events and characters were combined, and the violence toned way down, in order to make a watchable film, but it certainly conveys the essence of what really happened better even than more violent movies. Schindler did eventually do the right thing, but even at the end he still hoped to preserve his business and keeping the workers were part of that. He did gradually begin to see them as people, and there were so very few people in a position to do anything against the exterminations who actually lifted a finger to help. Germany was a modern society when the Nazis managed to get into power, though there was an undercurrent of racism. The Nazis whipped up the masses by blaming all problems on Jews, and it was easier for folks to point fingers at others than do the harder work of taking a hard look at correcting the real causes. Many of the men and women who did the killing of the Jews (and other minorities) were just ordinary folks in everyday life, and the demagogues provided many rationalizations for the horrors that were perpetrated. The terrible thing is that the ugliness of racism and xenophobia are still with us, and I'm disgusted that some folks still fall for pointing fingers at minorities as a conscience-soothing way of blaming others rather than actually dealing with reality. Indeed, it wasn't that long ago. It could happen again, and it could happen here (wherever we are). Let's educate and make sure it will not.

And I want to cry for the racism and antisemitism that prevails today. When, WHEN, will civilization learn that you cannot stand on the necks of human beings and expect no rebellion?!?
    May my ancestors and your ancestors rest in glorious peace. May their memories always, always be a blessing. And may we never, never, never forget.

      It will take a long time to learn this. It's easy to make a group of humans a target and label them as subhuman.
      Along with a visit in Dachau we had a school trip that included a visit in a former asylum, which mentally and physically disabled patients were also sent to a concentration camp.
      'Lebensunwertes Leben' (Live unworthy of life) they called them. Sure, the number of victims isn't as big as the others, but in my opinion that term acutely describes how inhuman the Nazi regime was.
      And whenever I hear a group of people denigrated, I remember that term and I feel a cold feeling crawl up my spine. How easy is it to rile people up against others.

    After I watched it for the first time I was so taken by it that I had to buy it on DVD although I knew that I didn't want to watch it ever again. I guess it was more for the purpose of being a reminder. Now after more than 15 years or so later I finally decided to only watch reactions to it. I watch movies like this more like "What would I have done?" and each time come to the conclusion that I probably would choose the way which would keep myself alive. Which makes me sick. I don't think we can say "they" and "us" in the sense of "evil" and "good". We are all human beings and capable of this sh*t. Not saying that everyone is like me but history has shown us that most of the time people choose the "easy" way. We need to be good examples to our kids and show them that we need to choose to be good in the small things in order to prevent bad big things to happen.

    It's was a really depressing time in human history. The Russian genocide, the horrible things done by the Japanese military. We dropped nukes that killed a quarter million people, most of them were innocent. Every country has done unspeakable things in the past, unfortunately it's part of how we're bioengineered. Movies like this help us relate to each other; they keep us from dehumanizing one another. It's easy to do something bad to a stranger if you don't have to see their face, their fear. It's easy to treat somebody bad when you realizing that they have parents, kids, siblings, that look at them the same way your family looks at you. They have people that rely on them to provide and keep them safe. They're EVERYTHING to their family and friends.
    As sad as this movie is at times, it was also reassuring. It reminds us that we can be good to each other. Sometimes we just need somebody who's willing to brave through the fear. Society wants to self-implode every day, but we have plenty of people within us who are willing to piece us back together, remind us of the good within ourselves.
