Schindler's List

Schindler’s List

A classic, simply a classic. Where do I even begin when there’s only positive feedback about this movie? Right I begin with, Oskar Schindler, the man who saved the many lives with the money he had. He was a great pretender when it came to hanging around the Nazi population. Schindler may have done some immoral things in his life such as, cheating on his wife, but he did such a mitzvah when he saved all those lives, the bad things shouldn’t even be thought of. There were, not many but few like Schindler, the righteous gentiles who lied and risked their own lives to save the Jewish population, the disabled, the poles, the homosexuals, and many more who were tortured.

I think about how these righteous people made such a difference in the world. Many of the saved survivors have set out and made it their mission to educate the many who don’t know about the Holocaust; they have written books, directed documentaries, speak at conferences, make a special appearance at schools and ask for interviews. Without the people like Oskar Schindler, we wouldn’t have many people who survived the Holocaust, and without them we wouldn’t have real proof of what happened.


"He who saves one life, saves the world" -
This is my favorite scene and quote of the entire movie, it gets me every time.
