SCHINDLER LIST

Schindler List is a movie that is more than just a story of a man and his heroic deed, but also to show today’s world on the dangers of hatred. It has been emphasizes in the movie as in how cruelly the Nazis treated the Jews. It has been also pin point on how one man can make a difference as is the case with Oskar Schindler. However, perhaps the main objective of Schindler List is that the world should never forget Oskar Schindler and what he did for the Jews as well as for mankind.  Schindler’s impact is so great that even the numerical facts are astonishing. In fact if one compares the number of direct descendants of the Schindlerjuden to the number of Jews alive in Poland after 1945, it is evident that there are more Schindlerjuden today than the total number of Jews in 1945 Poland.

One psychological event that took place in this movie had to go through dangerous ease of denial. The Jews in Schindler’s List, as they are forced into the ghetto and later into the labour camp, suffer from a denial of their true situation. The denial afflicted many European Jews who fell victim to the Holocaust. They leave their homes in the countryside and move to the ghetto because the Nazis force them to. Once in the ghetto, however, they believe the bad times will pass. Their denial of their situation continues in the labour camp, even as killing surrounds them.

Schindler’s List will definitely give everyone a personal effect, well mind in fact it does affect me personally. What seems to be interesting in Schindler’s List is the question of morality. It will make one to question himself, would I be as heroic as Oskar Schindler if I were in his shoes? This movie had given all the opportunity to look at ourselves and analyze what's inside. 

Oskar Schindler:  They won't soon forget the name "Oskar Schindler" around here. "Oskar Schindler," they'll say, "everybody remembers him. He did something extraordinary. He did what no one else did. He came with nothing, a suitcase, and built a bankrupt company into a major manufactory. And left with a steamer trunk, two steamer trunks, of money. All the riches of the world."
