Schindler's List: Accuracy In Hollywood

In April 1944, Goeth receives orders to unearth and burn more than 10,000 Jews that were killed at Plaszow and Krakow. The living Jews are forced to do this. Another order is received to move all of the Jews to a new camp to avoid the Russians. Schindler creates a plan; he digs deep into his ever decreasing finances and builds a new factory. He bargains with Goeth, and “buys” all of the Jewish workers he needs to run his factory. He draws up a list, later to be known as “Schindler’s List”, which includes more than 1,100 men, women, and children. Despite a mix-up, in which the train transporting the women are delayed at Auschwitz rather then Schindler’s factory, all of the people arrive safely.

The films “Schindler’s List” and “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” are both set in the Holocaust. Schindler was a man of great wealth, and was also a German.

This film is based on the novel Schindler’s Ark by Thomas Keneally, an Australian novelist, who exhibits the unbroken spirits and will of survival from the Jews and other minority groups that were imprisoned. In the film,

Steven Spielberg had planned to produce a movie about the Holocaust for around ten years before he actually became involved in directing Schindler’s List (Perlez, 1993). Much of the movie was filmed in Kraków, Poland, which was the location of Schindler’s factory. Liam Neeson stars as Oskar Schindler, and Ralph Fiennes stars as Amon Göth. The plot takes place in Nazi Germany between 1941-1945. The main character is Oskar Schindler, who originally supports the Nazi party but eventually decides to protect the Jews from the atrocious acts committed by the Nazis. Specific examples from the movie of how it is accurate include the ending scene where the Schindler Jews are liberated. In this scene, every Schindler Jew that was alive is present. In addition to this appearance, Schindler’s List portrays the brutality of the acts that were committed at the concentration camps. In one scene, a group of naked women are herded into a shower room that is actually a gas chamber in disguise. Despite the fact that the emotional response of the women is inaccurate as the women would not have known that the shower room was a gas chamber, the scene illustrates the inhumane method that the Nazis used to annihilate the Jews in many of the concentration camps, specifically Auschwitz (Lobet, 1994). The film was also shot in many of the same locations where the actual events occurred. For

Schindler’s List offers a mere glimpse into the horrors of the Holocaust, but even these slivers of history convey to us just how evil and terrifying Nazi Germany was during World War II. A scene that immediately stuck in my mind was when the Jews were being relocated to the ghetto, and Nazi soldiers were shooting anyone they pleased. These graphic scenes were shot uncensored, with point blank killings being filmed at point blank range, showing the murders in explicit detail which made it hard to watch. However, it was also necessary to watch, as we need to see what really happened to better understand the unspeakable acts carried out. This allowed us to see the Holocaust as a bystander, unable to do anything to intervene. Another style utilized by Spielberg was fast cuts and shakiness, which gave a sense of chaos and terror from the Jews’ point of view.

However, this is not to say that the film has not been without controversy specifically surrounding the film’s historical accuracy. While often hailed for its accuracy, it would be inaccurate to imply the film is completely correct.

The historical inaccuracies of the film led to the assumption that Schindler’s List is less about the Jews and the Holocaust and more about Schindler, making the film to be more of a biopic.
