SUMMARY The movie “Schindler’s list” is a compelling, real-life depiction of the events that occurred during the 1940’s. It illustrates the persecution and horrific killings of the Jewish people. It also exemplifies the hope and will of the Jewish people, which undoubtedly is a factor in the survival of their race.

Schindler’s List Critique On December 12th 1993, famed film director Steven Spielberg released a movie unlike anything the world had ever seen.

Schindler’s List written by Thomas Keneally and the film recreated by the award winning director Steven Spielberg is known to be one of the most “amazing portrayals of the Holocaust” (Marks and Torry).

Markus Zusak, author of The Book Thief (2005), and Steven Spielberg, director of Schindler’s List (1993), both use their works to portray the theme of racism in Nazi-era Germany.
