@michaelcoffry1991 AND NONE of the scenes should be blurred out like they were here. The point of this movie is for people to SEE what was done to them, to understand how awful it was. Blurring it out totally negates that effort to wake people up who DON'T know this history or deny that it EVER happened. There are horror and other movies that have much more blood and gore that was shown here, and THOSE don't get blurred over.
@@BigPat6521 This absolutely nothing like that. The Holocaust slaughtered six million people with one aim in mind, the destruction of the Jewish people in Europe.
My Father was in the armored cavalry unit that liberated the last concentration camp at Ebensee... He would never speak about the things that he was there... He was 23 years old at the time, and had moved across Europe as what was known as Patton's Ghost Troops, working mostly behind nazi lines trying to figure out where their troops were... At 23, he was really just a kid...
The German soldier screaming at the pile of burning bodies, was laughing . He was screaming the scream of the lunatic who can no longer find words to express his fear and incomprehension. Many German soldiers did go mad at the personal killing.
I've read that's why the regime came up with the gas chambers which were impersonal and could kill a lot of people at once. In the early stages of the war the soldiers were doing a lot of killing Jews (and others) up close and personal and some of them were going crazy.
2 things about this movie, during filming Robin Williams would call Steven Spielberg in the evenings and tell him jokes to cheer him up because it was very heavy and depressing to film this. the other thing, the little actress in the red coat, she's now an adult and he's helping Ukrainian refugees in Poland. We say never again but it's happened time and time again , and continues to happen. We need to do better and this movie is a reminder of how bad it can be when good people stay silent.
Spielberg once said (meaning not exact words) "The film is accurate in every detail, exapt one.... Amon Goeth (the camp commandant)he was a monster in human form. If we had shown, what he really did, noone would have believed us, they would have said he is "comic book evil" or a "cartoon vilian" so we scaled him down by alot and showed things that sounded possible. Goeths daughter(born in 1944) never knew her father or had any clue what he did, but when she saw this movie she said "My mum always described my father, so well. When i saw Ralph Finnes on screen, beore it was shown who he played, I knew, this was my dad."
I wonder if people know about some of the things the nazis actually did to these people. Like dr Josef mengele would perform surgery on prisoners with no anesthetic, sew people together to try and make artificial siamese twins and all sorts of other things his twisted mind could come up with. I think the officer in auschwitz going around asking "how old are mother?" Is supposed to be mengele.
@@wadumin I wouldn't say it is accurate in every detail. There are plenty of little things that were changed. Some for simplicity (Stern in the movie is actually a composite of 3 real people), some for dramatization (Schindler never broke when leaving, he never went to Auschwitz to get the women back (he sent someone), ...), and some because depicting the real events would have been unbearable to watch (like the execution of the engineer, it was much much more gruesome in real life...) But yes, Goeth was way worse in real life, according to the testimonies of the survivors.
Amon Goeth apparently was even worse in real life. They toned his cruelty down so that people would buy it to be accurate (and to keep the movie watchable...). This is the recent history of my country. And some people here start saying, we shouldn't bother with it anymore... Yet, here is where witches were hunted before and where Jews were hunted and annihilated systematically 80 years ago. I say, we should bother because it could happen again. This is a burden of facts we have to carry and it is our responsibility to ensure that it stays history. For that, we can't forget about it.
There is another movie, if you can access it as it was filmed in 1961 and it also is in black and white. It is called "Judgment at Nuremberg". The cast was practically a who's who of the leading stars of the era. It is based on a book by the same name of a fictionalized story of the Nuremberg trials in the late 1940s. The defendants being tried are the fictional heads of the Ministry of Justice (lead judges) under the Third Reich. The main question of the movie is: Who was really responsible for the Holocaust? Great acting all around. Spencer Tracy, a A-level actor of the era plays, Judge Dan Haywood the lead jurist assigned to hear the cases against 4 defendants--all judges who made rulings during the Nazi era. There is a side story in the movie where he meets the widow of an executed German general in the German Army. Marlene Dietrich, another famous star, plays the widow trying to convince the Americans that not all Germans are monsters. Tracy, as the jurist, struggles to understand how a cultured people like the Germans could be lead down such a dark path to allow the Holocaust to happen. The lead defendant, the Minister of Justice--played by Burt Lancaster, gives one of the most powerful monologues, on the witness stand, in all of film making. It can be pulled up on UA-cam, I believe. The verdict scene at the end is also powerful. The film is not quite as graphic as "Schindler's List" but there are real filmed horrific scenes from the camps at liberation which is reported to be the first time many regular folks ever saw real footage about what happened. There was a remake done in the 1990s and while it is good, the original was shot only about 12 years after the end of the Nuremberg trials which was still fresh in many minds and made it so powerful.
Ben Kingsley (Itzhak Stern) won an academy award for his portrayal of Gandhi, in the movie "Gandhi" back in 1983. ..It was his seminal role, and the first big part of his career.The film also won best picture.
I bought this movie on DVD & I've seen it a million x & each time I break down & cry & it completely tears me up inside.God bless all the souls who went through this horrific nightmare & may God bless all of those who lost their lives amid the hands of these evil monsters.God bless you all.Amen.
I hope every UA-camr reacts to this movie, not to see their reaction to the gory parts but to see how they feel by the end of the movie as a whole. I watched Shindlers List for the first time during Covid year when i was bored during the lockdown. I ended up falling in love with the movie because it kinda gave me more of a perspective of the lives around me. Definitely my top 5 favorite movie of all time.
I saw this movie back in 8th grade. You can hear a pin drop right after the credits rolled. Even the “tough” kids in my classroom cried. That’s how you know the movie is so powerful. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time. Should be showed to school!
As it is now by the very same people. Sadly after WW2 they did not get their homes and jobs back but place around Jerusalem and slowly committing a long genocide
@rkw2917 Because it is no longer taught in schools obviously. THAT is why we are heading that way AGAIN, in our own country.... I am terrified and I KNOW the history of how Dictators, Fascists and Authoritarians rise to power and manage to brainwash a large portion of the population to do their bidding no matter HOW horrible it might be. "
In Germany, it's a mandatory course in public schools' history or social sciences curriculum to examine the history of FASCISM, how Hitler brought ignominy to such a vibrant nation in the 1930s and beyond. I would heartily support a similar approach in the United States to instruct, formally, and with a mandate, the history of SLAVERY.
As you speak the world is doing the exact same thing.......insane Jew hatred. Indoctrinated and brainwashed to hate the Jewish Nation of Israel. Are you aware of this?
So, in the 1960s, Spielberg had started a film & electronic arts degree at California State, but dropped out to begin his film-making career. In the early 2000s, he re-enrolled to finish his degree. For the filmmaking class exam, the project he submitted was.. Schindler's List. I guess he passed..
"Those officers think that he's torturing them, but he's helping them." Those officers know that he's helping them. That's why one of them said "You're giving them hope. You shouldn't do that."
The comment about the women’s hair being shaved and used is true; hair was woven into a felt-like material for rugs and insulation; and was used as stuffing in mattresses and jackets for military uniforms, among other things.
This movie, great as it truly is, in reality is the Sesame Street version of what really went on in the camps. Books that were written by the survivors and historians in the 50's and 60's by the people who were there are so horrific that if Spielberg portrayed them in this movie, A.) people wouldn't have believed that they happened, and B.) the movie wouldn't have been released.
Your story that your Dad told you is the exact same circumstances a friend told me, that happened to him in Viet Nam..Friend on the left, and another on the right were killed by a sniper. They were just walking and talking one minute, and the next they were gone...Btw, great, heartfelt reactions, from the both of you. Much appreciated!
Note: the female Women Guards shown at Auschwitz, were trained at the only official women's concentration camp of Ravensbruck at Furstenburg, Germany, about 50 miles north of Berlin. There were many concentation camps and labor camps afterwards for women, but Ravensbruck, Dachau, Belsen, Buchenwald, Sachenhausen/Oranienburg were the most notorious on German Soil. At Ravensbruck, approx 120,000 maybe 125,000 women and children passed thru the camp with about 97,000 women being killed there of medical experiments, malnutrition, disease, shot or gassed at the small gas chamber installed around Jan of 1945. Not a lot was known about Ravensbruck because after the war, it was under Soviet Occupation and no access to records....but with the fall of the Soviet Union, the camp was released and is now a Memorial to women all across Europe (Czech, German, Polish, Dutch, French, Italian, Russian, Austrian, Greek, Belgium, England and of course countless Jewish women and Gypsies, Antisocial women, Jehoval Witnesses, Political Prisoners, Homosexual/Lesbien and many other countries of women were imprisoned there! Famous guards from there included Irma Grese, Maria Mandel and other beasts!
I read that Ralph Fiennes was so accurate in his portrayal of Amon Goth that Holocaust survivors who knew Amon Goth started shaking uncontrollably with fear when they saw Fiennes.
Spielberg made this movie for his mother. He made saving private ryan for his father. Which is a movie you guys need to see. It's a prime example of why americans are so patriotic and damn near worship our veterans. It's also been listed as the greatest war film of all time And one of the greatest films in general.
You are so funny, boy. muricans are so patriotic but even today they are doing the same thing like in the movie. Killing people left and right. On the street in broad daylight...just willy nilly.
The Holocaust museum and memorial in Washington, DC is my favorite tourist site in the District. I think there must be similar sites in Europe, perhaps at Auschwitz or Dachau or someplace similar. At the DC museum, there is an exhibit that one must step through. It's made of an old railroad car that once carried people to the concentration camps. On the sides are heaping piles of children's shoes. It makes me weep every time.
Auschwitz is largely still standing and is essentially a mix of museum and memorial. Birkenau (the sister camp to Auschwitz) was largely destroyed by the Nazis to try and hide their crimes, but there is still enough there to understand what went on. I have been three times, once with school (UK), and twice when visiting Krakow as an adult. Chilling. I also went to Dachau as a schoolchild. It was similar to Birkenau, largely destroyed, but a poignant memorial and museum.
I'm not sure if you recognized the people at Schindler's grave were the actors that played the part...... alongside the actual real person still alive when this was made.
It's hard to believe this was done to Jews? Sadly it still happens. I am half Jewish and half German. My ex-wife is half Jewish and half Polish. I went through a period of exploring my Jewish ancestry. I explored many definitions of what it meant to be Jewish. My ex had one solid, blunt definition. She looked me in the eye, ignored all my intellectual definitions of what it meant to be Jewish and said, "We are Jewish because there are people out there who will kill us for being Jewish." That is our reality. Always has been always will be and it is not our fault. We mostly keep to ourselves or blend in. Ralph Finnes is a great actor. From Valdemort to Amon Goeth he knows gow to play a villain. He played this so well a survivor of Amon Goeth's evil had flashbacks and thought briefly he was the real deal. I will add that though Shindler is probably the most famous person to save Jews during the Shoah, he was not the only one. A Swedish dipolmat (Wallenberg) probably was second in how many Jews he sav';ed. A Japanese diplimat also saved many. Wallenberg recruited a Swiss diplomat (who saved a friend of mine) and a Portuguese diplomat who both saved Jews.
While making this movie, Spielberg wouldn't even communicate with the actors playing the Einsatzgruppen. These were actors of the German theater playing these parts. Spielberg would give them direction but he wouldn't make small talk with them as he couldn't get past the Schutzstaffel uniforms. That is until a beautiful thing happened very early in production. A Passover Seder was held at the hotel the cast and crew were staying. Spielberg had all the Jewish actors sitting around at a table, then all the German actors walked in wearing yarmulkes and participated in the rituals of the Passover Seder and Spielberg was moved to tears.
Props for the bravery to sit through it. We had to watch this in my high school. I tried it out earlier this year. Still as potent and emotionally draining as ever.
Oliwia Dabrowska (age 32), who is known for her performance as the girl in red in "Schindler's List" at age 3, is now helping refugees in Ukraine make their way to safety amid the war.
I just love this arc from a war profiteering player and playboy, to learning the value of life. The scary part about the Nazis is, that each society is full of people like them, everywhere, all around the world. Tribalism comes in many forms and is excessively well alive today unfortunately. And whenever those type of people come to power, atrocities happen.
Denmark here and of the tribe of the Angles/Angels = Anglo, we were occupied by the Germans, but being from the high North (and so being kind of their "Gods"), we were able to make demands, so that no Danish Jew ever wore a yellow star, and unlike in other occupied countries and in Germany itself, no Danish Jew ever went to any of their extermination camps, just so that you know.
I never thought of it before, but Ben Kingsley does look very much like the late Shah of Iran in his later years. He's a great actor. Although the events in this film were real, for the screenplay Spielberg had to condense multiple people and events to make 5 years and hundreds of people fit into a movie's runtime and an audience's capacity to follow. In the case of Schindler and Stern typing up the list, it was actually 3 other characters (who aren't major characters in the film) who created the list - although Schindler and Stern certainly inspired and made it possible. Schindler was being held and interrogated in a corruption investigation, and Stern was in another camp, during the time when the list was compiled. It is just as painful to watch the 2nd or 3rd time - as you know - but it is such a deep movie that one does notice new things. I now need to go see your reaction to _Jojo_ _Rabbit_
6,000 decendants of Schindler Jews in 1993. Imagine how many there are now 21 years later. Thank God for Osckar Schindler and saving these precious people, The Apple of Gods Eye!
They didn't show it, but Schindler was a low level spy at one time. This film put a *real* shine on an otherwise crook. However, he did an absolutely incredible thing (and there were others). My absolutely favorite scene that I didn't catch until the second time watching is when Schindler is talking to Stern about Goethe. Schindler said "war always brings out the worst in people. never the good, always the bad. always the bad." Seems like the war eventually brought the absolute best good from Schindler.
In real life Goeth and Schindler were good friends (Goeth used to visit Schindlers home and play with his children). It is hinted at in the movie when Schindler states that "war always brings out the bad in people, never the good.... etc". However Schindler chose a different path, initially for money but for good at the end. Liam Neilson (Schindler) is epic in this movie as is Ralph Fiennes (Goeth) and Ben Kingsley (Itzhak Stern). Feinnes was also Voldermort in Harry Potter and Ben Kingsley was Ghandi in the movie of that name.
There is a video, maybe on UA-cam, that has the real Schindler in an audience and the person on stage is talking about him and all the people he saved and the families they had.Then when he looks around, all the audience around him stands up and it’s the families, just one of the most beautiful moments when he’s realized who they all are.😢
@@wadumin Christian_Adonis is mixing things. The video he mentions is not about Schindler. It is a BBC video about Nicholas Winton, a man who also saved jew kids during the war.
Schindler lost the ring by poker... Ralph Fienness acted Amon Goeth so realistic that a survivor at the set get a panic attack. She got flashbacks Amon Goeth was more cruel in real life. He had a harelip. Thats why he had no sense of self-eteem. His grandaughter, Jennifer Teege, is black. She wrote the book 'Amon, my grandfather would have shoot me'
41:48 This scene, or this moment, is the most important moment in the film. This eyewitness testimony from the crematoriums, from which no one returned alive, is eyewitness testimony about what happened there, not fiction or hearsay.
Part of the "reality" of the movie is that Schindler appears for most of the movie to be a failed businessman who took advantage of the war and the oppression of the Jews to make a huge profit, then used the profit to save their lives.
@@samuelbutterworth4303 Because Israel is NOT the jewish people. The suffering of jewish people MUST NOT be seen as an excuse for "Israel" commiting genocide against Palestinian and other civilian population. NAZIS ARE SCUM. ZIONISM IS SCUM. All those who exploit, opress and dehumanize others just for their ethnic background, their beliefs or their thinking are S C U M.
@@samuelbutterworth4303 Oh, by the way, all those who are not genocidal maniac ethnochauvinist and racist war criminals consider Israel as the mortal enemy of MANKIND.
Not the Christmas movie I'd have chosen but I do believe that every single person on the planet should watch this at least once in their life, especially now that the United States have elected to go down the same road. 😢
You found this movie harsh. Just think that when it was aired in 1993 some of the actual survivours were invited to the première and they said that reality was much worst than the movie.
In this video interview a Survivor who worked with Helen Hirsch in Goeths villa describes Goeth and Schindler from 48 minutes onwards. ua-cam.com/video/7stdKQ3fnk0/v-deo.htmlsi=kc3DR5Q_wKDdCwCN
33:33 And now stand before you, as a Jew, would have survived the Second World War and would have watched the film. No one would have survived the first quarter of an hour.
This should be shown in every grade school and shown again in high school. Never forget

@@BigPat6521 This absolutely nothing like that. The Holocaust slaughtered six million people with one aim in mind, the destruction of the Jewish people in Europe.
Why are my comments removed?
I'm a Polish Jew. My great grandfather (Russian) got my great grandmother out of Poland. Their name is on Ellis Island
My grandfather was in the Waffen SS
My Father was in the armored cavalry unit that liberated the last concentration camp at Ebensee... He would never speak about the things that he was there... He was 23 years old at the time, and had moved across Europe as what was known as Patton's Ghost Troops, working mostly behind nazi lines trying to figure out where their troops were...

He was just as old as me, wow. God bless him ❤
Kissing the Jewish woman at his birthday party was a deliberate act of defiance against the Nazi's.
The German soldier screaming at the pile of burning bodies, was laughing . He was screaming the scream of the lunatic who can no longer find words to express his fear and incomprehension. Many German soldiers did go mad at the personal killing.
This german ss officer was Amon second in comand , that scream was a hate scream , not one of fear

I have been three times, once with school (UK), and twice when visiting Krakow as an adult. Chilling. I also went to Dachau as a schoolchild. It was similar to Birkenau, largely destroyed, but a poignant memorial and museum.
Hair was used for U-boat Mattresses. No snow that was ash from the furnesses.
They hoarded. There's no indication it was used for that?
Excited to see Anita's reaction to this masterpiece 🔥❤️
Thanks for watching ❤
Thank you for watching ❤
I'm not sure if you recognized the people at Schindler's grave were the actors that played the part...... alongside the actual real person still alive when this was made.
Yesss, so beautifully done ❤
It's hard to believe this was done to Jews? Sadly it still happens.
I am half Jewish and half German. My ex-wife is half Jewish and half Polish. I went through a period of exploring my Jewish ancestry. I explored many definitions of what it meant to be Jewish. My ex had one solid, blunt definition. She looked me in the eye, ignored all my intellectual definitions of what it meant to be Jewish and said, "We are Jewish because there are people out there who will kill us for being Jewish."
That is our reality. Always has been always will be and it is not our fault. We mostly keep to ourselves or blend in.
Ralph Finnes is a great actor. From Valdemort to Amon Goeth he knows gow to play a villain. He played this so well a survivor of Amon Goeth's evil had flashbacks and thought briefly he was the real deal.
I will add that though Shindler is probably the most famous person to save Jews during the Shoah, he was not the only one. A Swedish dipolmat (Wallenberg) probably was second in how many Jews he sav';ed. A Japanese diplimat also saved many. Wallenberg recruited a Swiss diplomat (who saved a friend of mine) and a Portuguese diplomat who both saved Jews.
While making this movie, Spielberg wouldn't even communicate with the actors playing the Einsatzgruppen. These were actors of the German theater playing these parts. Spielberg would give them direction but he wouldn't make small talk with them as he couldn't get past the Schutzstaffel uniforms. That is until a beautiful thing happened very early in production. A Passover Seder was held at the hotel the cast and crew were staying. Spielberg had all the Jewish actors sitting around at a table, then all the German actors walked in wearing yarmulkes and participated in the rituals of the Passover Seder and Spielberg was moved to tears.
A movie that should not ever be forgotten, In this lifetime, or any future lifetime.
A highly emotional, well made success story.
Props for the bravery to sit through it. We had to watch this in my high school. I tried it out earlier this year. Still as potent and emotionally draining as ever.
Thanks for watching, we appreciate it ❤
It brings hope that a commenter found a moment to have said, "I love it". Because you did.
Nazis considered Jews as "untermensch" or "less than human", therefore they did not see taking their lives as a sin.
Oliwia Dabrowska (age 32), who is known for her performance as the girl in red in "Schindler's List" at age 3,
is now helping refugees in Ukraine make their way to safety amid the war.
Oh wow, that's incredible ❤
Saludos desde la República Dominicana excelente video 🇩🇴🫂👏👍
I just love this arc from a war profiteering player and playboy, to learning the value of life.
The scary part about the Nazis is, that each society is full of people like them, everywhere, all around the world. Tribalism comes in many forms and is excessively well alive today unfortunately. And whenever those type of people come to power, atrocities happen.
Denmark here and of the tribe of the Angles/Angels = Anglo, we were occupied by the Germans, but being from the high North (and so being kind of their "Gods"), we were able to make demands, so that no Danish Jew ever wore a yellow star, and unlike in other occupied countries and in Germany itself, no Danish Jew ever went to any of their extermination camps, just so that you know.
I never thought of it before, but Ben Kingsley does look very much like the late Shah of Iran in his later years. He's a great actor. Although the events in this film were real, for the screenplay Spielberg had to condense multiple people and events to make 5 years and hundreds of people fit into a movie's runtime and an audience's capacity to follow. In the case of Schindler and Stern typing up the list, it was actually 3 other characters (who aren't major characters in the film) who created the list - although Schindler and Stern certainly inspired and made it possible. Schindler was being held and interrogated in a corruption investigation, and Stern was in another camp, during the time when the list was compiled. It is just as painful to watch the 2nd or 3rd time - as you know - but it is such a deep movie that one does notice new things. I now need to go see your reaction to _Jojo_ _Rabbit_
Wow, thanks for watching ❤
6,000 decendants of Schindler Jews in 1993. Imagine how many there are now 21 years later. Thank God for Osckar Schindler and saving these precious people, The Apple of Gods Eye!
Absolutely incredible ❤
They didn't show it, but Schindler was a low level spy at one time. This film put a *real* shine on an otherwise crook. However, he did an absolutely incredible thing (and there were others).
My absolutely favorite scene that I didn't catch until the second time watching is when Schindler is talking to Stern about Goethe. Schindler said "war always brings out the worst in people. never the good, always the bad. always the bad."
Seems like the war eventually brought the absolute best good from Schindler.
23:00 the man was assigned to shoveling coal ao he couldn't have produced enough hinges since he wasn't there to do his usual fast work in captivity.
In real life Goeth and Schindler were good friends (Goeth used to visit Schindlers home and play with his children). It is hinted at in the movie when Schindler states that "war always brings out the bad in people, never the good.... etc". However Schindler chose a different path, initially for money but for good at the end.
Liam Neilson (Schindler) is epic in this movie as is Ralph Fiennes (Goeth) and Ben Kingsley (Itzhak Stern).
Feinnes was also Voldermort in Harry Potter and Ben Kingsley was Ghandi in the movie of that name.
Thanks for the info ❤
It's not hate or war. It's business. Money is the driver.
If you have more money you can protect the people you love?
So,
There is a video, maybe on UA-cam, that has the real Schindler in an audience and the person on stage is talking about him and all the people he saved and the families they had.Then when he looks around, all the audience around him stands up and it’s the families, just one of the most beautiful moments when he’s realized who they all are.😢
Oh wow, I'm gonna look that up
@@wadumin Christian_Adonis is mixing things. The video he mentions is not about Schindler. It is a BBC video about Nicholas Winton, a man who also saved jew kids during the war.
and they said 'Let it never happen again' but it is, right now, in a place that is the 2nd largest economy in the world.........
Schindler lost the ring by poker...
Ralph Fienness acted Amon Goeth so realistic that a survivor at the set get a panic attack. She got flashbacks
Amon Goeth was more cruel in real life.
He had a harelip. Thats why he had no sense of self-eteem.
His grandaughter, Jennifer Teege, is black.
She wrote the book 'Amon, my grandfather would have shoot me'
Nice reaction but it's hard to get the full feeling of this movie when you watch with someone else.
41:48
This scene, or this moment, is the most important moment in the film. This eyewitness testimony from the crematoriums, from which no one returned alive, is eyewitness testimony about what happened there, not fiction or hearsay.
Part of the "reality" of the movie is that Schindler appears for most of the movie to be a failed businessman who took advantage of the war and the oppression of the Jews to make a huge profit, then used the profit to save their lives.
The real lesson here is that as humans if we see others that are less than what we believe its easy to harm them.
Exactly, thanks for watching ❤
you are GOOD people, thank you as always❤
Sad....we continue to fail to learn from the past
We appreciate it, thanks for watching ❤
You must watch "Come and see" from 1985. It is even darker than this.
You should watch a monster calls. It's another masterpiece by Bayona and I think you are going to love it

In dark times, God always sends some protector to prevent his people from being completely exterminated.
Are you Iranians living in Austria?
We're Iranians yes, we're in Iran ❤
@Wadumin How are you allowed to watch a movie like this and make those comments considering Iran considers Israel as a mortal enemy?
@@samuelbutterworth4303 Because Israel is NOT the jewish people. The suffering of jewish people MUST NOT be seen as an excuse for "Israel" commiting genocide against Palestinian and other civilian population. NAZIS ARE SCUM. ZIONISM IS SCUM. All those who exploit, opress and dehumanize others just for their ethnic background, their beliefs or their thinking are S C U M.
@@samuelbutterworth4303 Oh, by the way, all those who are not genocidal maniac ethnochauvinist and racist war criminals consider Israel as the mortal enemy of MANKIND.
you should watch Life Is Beautiful!

Not the Christmas movie I'd have chosen but I do believe that every single person on the planet should watch this at least once in their life, especially now that the United States have elected to go down the same road. 😢
juste une enfant oui...cherchez les temoignages du procès eichmann, les enfants ils les jetaient dans de grands feux, vivants...
That's horrific
You found this movie harsh. Just think that when it was aired in 1993 some of the actual survivours were invited to the première and they said that reality was much worst than the movie.
Oh wow 💔
This is one of those movies that you're probably not the same after you watch it.
Absolutely ❤
In this video interview a Survivor who worked with Helen Hirsch in Goeths villa describes Goeth and Schindler from 48 minutes onwards.
