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

The scene at the end of the movie where Schindler begins to see every item in his possession as lives that could have been saved was striking. It goes to show what a terrible thing the Nazis were doing, where Schindler looked at a pen, and saw it as a Jewish life that could have been saved. Even though he directly saved hundreds of lives, it haunted him that he could have saved more. The scene also illustrates how insignificant Jewish lives were to the Nazis, where a pen was equivalent to one single life.

I thought this scene was really incredible and sad. He looked at everything he had done and instead of seeing items, he saw the people he could have saved. Even though he saved so many, it shows you how horrible the times were. That human lives were worth mere pins.
