    The man who made this movie next to Spielberg is Branko Lustig, WW2 survivor. He doesn't get enough credit for this movie (he also worked on Gladiator):
    During World War II, as a child he was imprisoned for two years in Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. Most members of his family perished in the death camps throughout Europe, including his grandmother who was killed in the gas chamber, while his father was killed in Čakovec on 15 March 1945. Lustig's mother survived the Holocaust and was reunited with him after the war. On the day of the liberation, he weighed only 66 pounds (29.94 kg). Lustig credited his survival in Auschwitz to a German officer who happened to be from the same suburb of Osijek as Lustig. He overheard Lustig crying and asked him who his father was. It turned out the officer had known Lustig's father.
    Lustig received his first Oscar in 1993 for the production of Schindler's List, a film based on the novel of Thomas Keneally (which is, in turn, based on the true-life story of a German manufacturer who saved hundreds of Jews during World War II). Lustig himself had a cameo early in the film as a nightclub maitre d’. In July 2015, Lustig presented the Oscar to Yad Vashem for eternal safekeeping.

      On a more practical level the Germans suffered from mass expansion of their manufacturing base, foreign factories making their own nations weapons being forced to convert to making German types and a lack of trained workers being compensated by using unskilled foreign and involuntary workers.
      Which means that either through teething problems in new factories and workers who either didnt know what they were doing or were deliberately sabotaging weapons the nazis suffered from a lot of manufacturing faults such as incorrectly forged firing pins and ineffective ammunition.
      Add the fact that the front line troops got all the best equipment and concentration camp/factory guards were way down the priority list so they were left scrambling for all the junk and cast offs then you can see why they had problems.
      The chance of bad firing pins in three guns or ineffective primers in two different calibers or a combination of the two is unlikely however.

After the events of WW2 he became a poor man after some failed business attempts. He ended up living in a 1 room apartment in Frankfurt. He just couldn't handle money. Eventually he moved to Jerusalem and got shelter by the very people he saved. His last wish was to get buried in Jerusalem on a catholic grave yard on that holy mountain Zion.

    To answer a question, yes this really happened. People were murdered in the streets of Warsaw. shot, bayonetted, strangled with piano wire, burned to death. The next question is how can people do that to each other, all you have to do is look around, people have been killing each other since Cain and Abel. My ex-wife's grandparents and father made it out of Austria just as the Nazi's were marching in, that is why I feel so strongly about this. All the rest of her extended family were murdered during the Holocaust.

    Just rewatched this movie many years after first viewing. I was born in 1953, so I've been watching documentaries and stuff about the Holocaust all my life. And I still don't get how so many people thought this was okay. No matter how long l live, I don't think I'll ever get it.

    There is so much to say about this wonderful man (Schindler) and beautiful film. Schindler took high risks to keep his Jews safe, to guide them safe to the end of the war. But of course he couldn't safe everyone. The man was a Gods send. After the war, he was an emotional wreck, a broken man. He tryed to buildup a new factory in Argentina, but he failed. I hope to see that man in heaven one day. Great respect.

    I remember going to this when it came out in theaters in Minot, ND. At the mall that had numerous movies showing, I think there was at least 2 or so spots showing it and the one that my mom and I went to, I don't think there was an empty seat and only one person left to maybe use the rest room (and I had to go but didn't want to miss anything) and he was back quick. It was silent throughout the whole movie as well. My mom and I kept looking at each other wide eyed at times and didn't say anything and had tears during many times.

    Yes, this is a true story. In many ways the full story is even more shocking, but they didn't have time for all of it. And they did embellish it with some unattributed stories that they wanted to put on camera ("He did it" kid, for example).

    That was one... if not THE darkest part of European History - for Germany and Austria! We are regularly reminded of it, although something like this will never happen again and hardly anyone lives from that time anymore. It is a memorial that our great, great, great, great-grandchildren will still remember and learn from and the rest of the world will still hold this against us for a very long time ... if not forever. It is good, right and very important that no one ever forgets these events, but it is wrong and not fair to hold the 3rd, 4th, 5th and all subsequent generations accountable for this. I am partly Jewish, my father had to wear a Jewish star, was only allowed to ride one tram ... and some of the relatives died in concentration camps, or their fates are still unknown today.
    Never forget, but learn to forgive.

    I will never forget that I watched this film in the local cinema in Eastbourne in Southern England when it was first released. An entire coachload of German students, about 16-18 years of age and all girls, sat in front of myself and my friend. I knew they would find it hard to watch and I have to say they struggled and I missed much of what was said because of their sobbing during the film. To give them credit not one of them left the cinema and I am sure watching it an a foreign country, knowing it showed the horrors of the German Nazi regime, must have added to the difficulty of sitting through it for them. My original boss in London, a Jew, had escaped Nazi Germany during the war and was the only survivor of his family. Oscar Schindler was a true hero.

    “How can men just kill like that so easily”
    There’s a very good book on that very question called “Ordinary Men” following a reserve military police unit in Poland and Russia. The guys were all in their 40’s and grew up well before Hitler poisoned the youth. Short version is people can be coerced and brainwashed into not only accepting the atrocities but becoming willing participants.
    Many people like to think they’d stand up and defy the Nazis had they been there but the scary fact is most of us would have been complicit at least and participants probably.

    I think that you educating yourself by watching this movie is very brave and admirable. It is a hard movie to watch, Spielberg even refused being paid for the film calling it "Blood Money" Most people would not care to even attempt to educate themselves on such a dark piece of history. They turn a blind eye to the horrors of the past. Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it. The Holocaust is not taught in schools at least, not in American Schools until Senior Hogh School.or College Level classes.
    I commend you for this and for broadening your mind to what these people suffered. You are a good man.

      Yad Vashem (The Holocaust Memorial Musem) in Jerusalem, Israel put him on the list of the Righteous Amongst the Nations (a list of non-Jews who saved the lives of Jews during The Holocaust) and has a tree planted in his honor so his life lives on through something else. Every person who is on the list of the Righteous Amongst the Nations also has a tree planted in their honor. It was remarkable to see that. My grandparents survived the Holocaust and are the sole survivors of their families.

It is called Some Like It Hot and stars Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis (Jamie Leigh's dad) and Joe E Brown. It is the most perfectly constructed comedy I've ever seen. And the final scene is the best final scene of all time, in my estimation.
