Schindler's List is an intense, historical, view of an emotional and traumatic time period in World History. I invite you to respond to what you are viewing on screen. The actions of individuals, the events as they unfold, the thoughts you have about how the film speaks to you

I was baffled by how much of a good man Oskar Shindler came out to be. At first, he was a proud Nazi, only looking for money, squeezing it out of the Jews in his factory. But as the story unfolds, he realizes the pain and suffering the Nazis have caused. He changes his ways, and takes in as many Jews as he can, to save them. And at the final scene, he is being hard on himself for not selling everything he owns to save more innocent lives. Shindler showed the world that people really can change, and I beleive that was the lesson of the whole story.

I agree with this post. I was also surprised at how he was able to see that what was happening was wrong, and also surprised at how he was able to actually do something about it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ben, I too was surprised about Oscar Schindler's change of heart when he realized what the Jews were enduring. I am also impressed by Schindler's efforts to keep Jews working in the factories, instead of being slaughtered like animals.
