Review of Schindler's List (1993) by Pat K — 20 Mar 2015

Steven Spielberg's epic masterpiece Schindler's List is an extremely sad film given its accurate representation of historical events during the Holocaust. While viewing the movie, it is depressing to know the film is not "just a movie" because it is based upon real-life events.

Overshadowing the darkness lies a truly inspirational story of one man who gave up all his fortune in order to save over a thousand people, who would have otherwise been killed. The actions of Oskar Schindler led to generations of Schindlerjuden, the term given to the Schindler-rescued Jews and their many descendants; now over six thousand Schindlerjuden are living today.

Schindler's List was a necessary film in order to educate and remind the general public of historical events. Oskar Schindler serves as a figure of genuine inspiration to all of humankind. Also, the lasting legacy of the movie is the Shoah Foundation, the ongoing educational organization of Holocaust testimonies.

Schindler's List continues to remain in mine and many others' hearts forever.
