It’s not that the little girl is a symbol of anything, but using color made her an individual. Through all the senseless death, it can be easy to get abstract about the scale of the death, and see them as faceless groups of victims. The girl was an individual, and you cared, and she died. A story that happened over and over and over and over.

As a Jewish person, the Holocaust is my Roman Empire. I grew up with it being discussed frequently. The elders didn’t speak of it to me, but my parents did. I have seen this film more times then I can count. I watch it because they (my family who did not survive the war) lived it, and I feel that by looking away from these films, I am simply framing their deaths as a thing of the past. As if it was inconsequential. We can’t forget the past, but we can learn from it. I don’t watch from for joy, but that is what Spielberg said about why he chose to make this film in black and white. He said the Holocaust was not a colorful event. There was nothing vibrant about it. Thank you for watching.

As a non-Jew, I watch it for similar reasons. My grandparents spoke of the war fairly often, the atrocities and the evil of the men who brought it to the world. We didn't even know any Jewish people, living out in the middle of America, so it was a bit exotic to me. When I was very young (too young) I saw pictures from Auschwitz. I was staggered. Then around 4th grade I read Diary of Ann Frank (a 9-10 year old with no one checking my reading material for age-appropriateness. Definitely GenX, my parents paid attention to nothing 😁). That book put it in terms I could better understand, a girl I could relate to, but I was always a bit haunted by how it ends so abruptly. As if they really did all vanish. Then when I was around 13 I learned we'd had relatives, my Polish great-grandmother's sister and her family, Christians, who'd all died in the war at the hand of Nazis. Several of them were taken to work camps shortly after the invasion and all eventually died there. We don't know how, specifically. My great-grandmother's sister and her husband were farmers. We learned they had tended the farm with the German soldiers taking everything from them, little by little, and once they had used all the resources from the farm they were executed. Suddenly I had a connection. This all added up to a lifelong interest and a desire to honor and respect their lives. To understand the darkness of human beings, as well as the light of humanity.

@@msdarby515 Thank you for sharing that. Such a story to know. We touched on it here and there in school. My parents definitely made sure I knew more about it then the public school system ever intended to teach, but in 10th grade I watched the ABC version of Anne Frank. I was the only Jew in my Holocaust class, and I remember crying like I never had before. I had read her diary, and I agree about the abrupt ending. My grandparents all died before I had even graduated from high school, so I’m unsure if they didn’t want to speak of it, or if they saw me as too young. The only names I know (through genealogy research) are of my great great Aunt and Uncle. They were also farmers in a small village (a shtetl) in Southern Russia. The entire village was rounded up and killed in a single day. They were too old to leave, and thankfully, a fair few of their children had already immigrated to the US by that time. There is a memorial statue now, where that town once stood.

Art is a powerful way to not only educate but bring awareness to past and present issues.

The reason for the red coat girl is to make you know that Schindler also saw her and also caught his attention, walking alone and helpless around that terrible place with people dying everywhere; and then in the scene where we see her body being carried to be cremated, he also recognized her and felt the same as you. Liam Neeson makes a wonderful job showing his character in absolute shock when he realizes. It's also when Schindler does the final turn in his redemption arc, and starts investing all the money he made up until then, and that had been his goal, in his new goal of saving as many of his workers as he can.

We watched this for our history through film class... by the time the movie ended most of the class was in tears. Spielberg is a genius. To be able to capture this time in history and be able to make this movie. Takes guts. Its brilliantly done. Schindler in real life won many awards after the war but he never felt like he did enough. He was so devastated that he lost his company and he failed at his marriage afterwards. He felt like he could have saved more. The part about the guns not working. Schindler's production factory made faulty weapons for a reason. He made it that way for a reason of them not working for the Germans. He was a brilliant man.

Its not completely loose. African Americans while freed in the 1800's were not welcome in most southern and midwestern cities. They weren't allowed to purchase homes in what were considered white neighborhoods. So they formed their own shanty towns and communities which white folk referred to as "Ghetto's". They used that term predominantly for them at least up until the 50's where it became more common in larger cities to call black specific and less wealthy neighborhoods "The Projects". When mixed race neighborhoods started to become more common. The term Ghetto began to die out quickly becoming a more 90's style colloquialism. Still used today but has been more than naught replaced with the term "Hood". Which was popularized by southern Californian cultures from the late 90's through the 00's. At least i think this is mostly correct.

To me, the little girl in red symbolizes the humanization of the Jewish people in Schindler's eyes. At first, they were just resources to him, a means to an end, and that end was making as much money as possible while he wouldn't be paying any Jewish workers. Then he saw the little girl in red, a child wandering the streets alone as her people were slaughtered around her, her parents probably already dead. It shook Schindler. Then when they were digging up and incinerating the bodies, he saw her again, and even that innocent little girl didn't survive the evil being done by Oskar's own people while he profited from it. It made him really realize and internalize what he was complicit in, and how wrong he was, so he changed course to save as many as he could BY claiming them as his own resources, and working the system.

"Ghetto" is originally the Italian word for foundry. One of the islands of which Venice consists was originally used for the city's foundry, but that was torn down and the island became available for other purposes. Because the Venetian government didn't want Jews living in the same place as the general population, but still needed to keep them around to perform functions (like banking) that Christians were forbidden to do at the time, they decreed that all Jews in Venice must live on that island, still known as the ghetto, and restrict themselves to the island except during daylight hours. Hence the term ghetto came to mean a designated space to which Jews were confined, and the Nazis took over that usage.

The little girl: We watch her walking, by herself, through the liquidation of the ghetto. She's alone, even though she's clearly too young to be alone. She does not run. She does not scream. She does not cry. She walks by men being lined up and shot. She walks by people being herded onto trucks. She walks by rubble, dead bodies, piles of people's possessions, and scary soldiers with weapons who are yelling and clearly not afraid to use their firearms. She does the most child-like thing ever when she is alone; she runs upstairs and hides under the bed, covering her ears. It is at last that we see exactly how young she is, how small, how innocent. Why did we see her? To show you that no matter how cute, innocent, innocuous, careful, or law-abiding any of these people were, everyone was alone and vulnerable. Everyone struggled, but the struggles were personal. No one was spared them, but no two people would describe their time as a Jew in Occupied Poland in the same way. This little girl is a statistic, and she is a statistic that underlines how there was no sense of fairness in how the Nazis operated. She was just one more obstacle in the way of world domination. Young, old, fit, beautiful, ugly; all would become targeted in time. None would survive, if they'd had it their way. The little girl is simply there to hammer home the point that no one was safe. Her coat was in color so that you'd see her, remember her as a person, and wonder about her. When she is seen again at last, you will always remember her story, and how her tiny life ended in fear, under a bed, in a filthy ghetto, at the hands of monsters. No one deserved that fate, no matter who they were.

We always think we are smarter these days but there is this kind of hate again worldwide. That's why we have to stand together against it for a peaceful world together.

This movie should be seen by as many young people as possible and I hope you do show it to others. This movie was made for students like yourself because the memory of the holocaust is fading and if the memory is lost, this kind of atrocity will happen again if no one pays attention. I hope you do some reading about these events and know that this movie was made for you, it was made for all to remember. It is a gift.

Thank you for enduring this! You really might consider talking to somebody that is historically/culturally familiar with the context in the movie. The one scene that made me think of this was where the Jewish supplier guy ripped the star band off his arm and put his fingers in the holy water. They had to pretend to be Christian in order to gather and have a business meeting. They all freak out when a German sits down and wants to do business, except for this brave guy. There are others where I think you would appreciate some context you haven't been exposed to.

I worked in a movie theater all through high school and college. This film is so long that It was the only movie running a good hour after everything else was over. For months many of us would pop in to quietly stand in the back and watch the surviving members put rocks on his grave. I've made it through this full movie twice, But I have watched them honor him over 100 times. And every single time it moves me. ❤ Thank you.

That final scene makes people realize this was real. I've seen the film several times and I suggested it to a neighbor and friend who was one of those people that didn't believe it happened (the Holocaust). We watched it together. The film moved him but when the real people were first shown he broke down crying so hard saying over and over it was real OMG it was real. This film changed him.

Good Evening. Just to put your eyes on some missed parts: The movie begins in color and fades to black and white as the candle goes out during the praying. Thats the beginning of terror and the helplessness. The color only comes back at the end when the candle is lit during the prayer in the factory when terror and helplessness starts to end. Also in my opinion the girl in red is shown because its the moment Schindler changes. Before her death Schindler was "just a businessman" he didn´t really careabout the people but he also didn´t hate and didn´t to di more harm. He is basically in an inner fight between the businessman and the caring human. During this time the businessman was mostly on top but you could see his other side when he was saving Mr. and Ms. Dresner. After her death the businessman was dead and he only wanted to save as many peaple as he could. There´s propably hundreds of other things i never caught while watching this movie but i always learn more things. I think it is Important to watch this movie more than once to remind yourself what things humans can do to each other, good and bad, based on love and hate. For me its hard to get how this could happen, how my ancestors could do these things. Seed love and harvest good and not seed hate and harvest terror Greetings from Germany

The little girl in red - I was told the origin of this was an account at the Eichmann trial. A man who had lost his entire family talked, I believe about arriving at the concentration camp and trying to keep his wife and little girl in sight as they were led away. The little girl was wearing a red coat, and he watched until that coat was just a tiny dot in the distance. He never saw her again. This was televised by the way. After you see this man’s testimony, the prosecutor, a father himself, plainly could not speak for a moment. He pretended to be looking through some papers, but he was plainly trying to control tears.

You´re right, this movie can´t be consumed like a random movie, it´s more like visting the Auschwitz memorial place or Yad Vashem. Heavy stuff for sure. Thanks for watching and reacting to it. I´ve seen some reactions to this movie by now and I feel like many of the young people don´t know much about this movie. I was a teenager when this came out and like everybody talked about it at that time. This important masterpiece must not be forgotten, so please young people carry on the torch. 👍 Oh, and answering your question, when I first saw this movie I was very young and couldn´t bear it fully, so I had to leave the theatre for a while to take a break. So the first time watching for me was definitely the hardest. It took me decades to be brave enough to rewatch it. Now I rewatch it quite often and I always end up in tears, but that´s ok.

The little girl can mean different things. But I think I remember reading that Spielberg put the little girl into this movie as a metaphor for the holocaust. That as she walks around she’s seen but not acknowledged. Much like the holocaust the world suspected it was happening but did nothing to stop it. That’s why she’s significant. And she is also Schindler’s turning point.

The world knew it was happening, not "suspected." The genocide wasn't a secret, the camps and massacres and all were reported in newspapers- German and foreign. The world just didn't give a fuck because the people targeted were oppressed minorities and acceptable targets: Communists/socialists, LGBT people, Jews, Romani, mentally ill and mentally disabled, etc etc. White supremacy and eugenics were popular at the time, the Nazis were actually inspired by the US.

You said "As a dad of two little girls, this s---- is hitting a lot different." I'm a dad of two girls myself; whether having sons or daughters, all parents get exactly what you mean. It's excruciating to even think about this. It's unfathomable. I think the little girl in the pink/red coat represents purity and innocence. And even though we never know her name or her story, her inclusion in the story represents the individual amidst the masses. It's not just six million Jews who died, it's little kids, babies, old people, human beings.

I think the little girl is in color because Spielberg knew that shooting the movie in black and white (a conscious choice because he didn’t want to sensationalize or glorify the violence) would lessen the impact of the violence. He also knew that shooting her in color, especially red, would make the impact of her loss (when you see her corpse) that much greater. I remember taking my Mom to see Schindler’s List when it came out. Mom was in her early 20’s during WW2. That scene, when you see her body in the cart in the red coat? It wasted my mom. She just burst out in sobs. Spielberg knew what he was doing.

I‘m a 47 old german. I can‘t remember a time in my life I didn‘t know about this period of time. We were taught in school, we read books, we watched movies and documentaries and visited a concentration camp. I asked my parents about it, I argued with one of my grandmothers about it. I think this topic is so important to know about and grief about it. To know that war shows the worst character of mankind, Most of people just close their eyes and there are only a few good humans. How would I react? To be honest, I don’t know. I’ve never been a hero, Perhaps I would close my eyes, to protect me and my family? But I have to stand up, when I see somebody in need, to argue with somebody who treats bad a refugee or immigrant. And I try to. But to be honest: I could do more and I could do better. It‘s a shame that we obviously can’t live in peace together, that we can’t tolerate different ways of living or other religions, just because they seem strange to us. You asked why I would watch this movie over and over again: to remember, to grief, to learn, to never forget, to recognize similar state of minds, be sensitive and stand up. It is not easy to watch this movie and I don‘t think I will have a great movie night and enjoy my dinner or popcorn while watching it. I am watching this in silence, in tears and I‘m praying. There are special times for me to watch this movie: for example around easter, to remember the end of the war or to think about the current wars and knowing something like this is still happening over and over again.

One of my father’s closest friends is the son-in-law of one of the Schindler Jews. He was a teenager during WWII, and worked in the factory. After the war he returned to Vienna, eventually becoming a banker, and financially supported Schindler later in life. The girl in the red coat represents the loss of innocence. In the film, Schindler saw her as an individual, and blamed himself for her death. Which motivated him to save 1,100 Jews. The girl is actually based off a real Jewish girl in the ghetto who was known for always wearing a red coat. Spielberg used her is inspiration because red stands out, and is also the color of blood. PS: Schindler’s factory is now a museum. While, Ralph Fiennes was cast as Voldemort, because of his role as Amon Goth.

I've seen this movie probably 5 or 6 times. Each rewatch is more sickening than the last, and i bawl like an infant at the end every freaking time. Last year i watched it with daughter. She was absolutely devastated but immensely thankful. There are some things where a lethal dose of hard core realism are needed to really understand the depths of evil the human species has an affinity for, and the high cost that it is to dehumanize "the other". Schindler's list is one of these things works that brings the message home. You will, someday, watch this movie again, and most likely it will be as part of a teaching moment with your children.

The word ‘ghetto’ was first used in the 1500’s in Italy to refer to the areas where the Jewish population was supposed to live. Since that time, it eventually came to be used to describe any section of a city where homes or businesses or schools of specific groups of people were commonly found or in some cases legally restricted.The word itself could be from Italian, or Latin, or Yiddish. The Warsaw Ghetto was one of the largest of the Nazi ghettos and had brick walls built around it.

Fun fact: Spielberg had just gotten finished working with one of my favorites, the great Robin Williams, on his previous film. Robin, being Robin, would call Spielberg up at the end of the week of filming this movie and just make him laugh for a few hours. RIP, Robin. He was too good for this world.

The importance of the girl is historical. Oscar Schindler reported seeing her during the cleansing of the Ghetto, walking around without parents and it struck him during the midst of all the chaos that this child was walking around and no one seemed to notice her, and he hoped she could actually hide. She made it human for him. Then when he saw her dead in the same red coat, it moved him so much that he realized truly what was happening and that he couldn't just stand by and do nothing anymore.

The term "Ghetto" means: put in or restrict to an isolated or segregated area or group. So you could use it: "40% of the students have come out in a rash, the school have decided to form a ghetto to place the students in until a better solution can be found. Over the years, the term was then used colloquially to describe a rough area.

Since they had no papers or clothes or even shoes in many cases. And the trauma. It haunted Papa. But he helped so many to not just live but come to America. Throughout my childhood people would come to visit. People he helped, to show him there children, their grandchildren. I was fortunate to be included in so many of these peoples lives. A fact that always stuck with me was that the calorie allowance for a worker in the ghetto was 650 calories. Imagine how you function on 650 calories a day. Much less work or handle stress. And that was for workers. For anyone not working it was less. 650 calories.

EVERY young person should watch this movie. EVERY. Young. person. Furthermore, they need to find a similar story to immortalize about Lenin and Stalin's gulags in communist Russia. From 1921-1953 over 20 million men, women, and children died from famine, executions, exhaustion and starvation in labor camps under socialist rule. Maybe this movie already exists and I'm just not aware of it, but we need a director like Spielberg to immortalize a story about it in a similar fashion like Schindler's List. It's a lesser-known period in history and is not taught in US schools (and that's not an accident), but we've got 20 million bodies from less than 100 years ago to demonstrate why communism (and socialism by extension) does not work. All it does is take the corruption we have now and legitimize it, and eradicate all opportunity for the middle/lower classes to improve their lives. If you think it's bad now, do some research on how Lenin and Stalin came to power and how they kept it. It had me feeling a similar way as this movie.

If somebody who is an idiot claims he is a genius... would you for all time say "genius" to him even if you really see all the time how stupid he is? Just because the Sovjets CLAIMED that they were communist or socialist... could you at least try to think that MAYBE this term was used by the government as an empty ideological term? And that it is NOW used as a synonym for the sovjet dictatorship although this is NOT really what communism or socialism is about to dismiss the ideas behind socialism? Maybe... there are people who want many others to not think a bit deeper about the bad elements of the current system? Sometimes... words are used to dismiss an idea. Or to mislead people. Capitalism is about having the ownership of capital/companies in a few hands of very rich people. Socialism is about having the ownership in the hands of the working people. Could it work? Who knows. Was never tried. Especially not in USSR. The leaders of the communist party in USSR and all the other "communist" countries NEVER have been the workers in the factories. The leaders were... just dictators and THEY owned the country. Not the people! Having a small gang of idiots owning a country is no social construct at all - but it definitely is not communism or socialism. Is it so hard to acknowledge? Just check out the current state of the three capitalist countries Sweden, USA and China. All have a VERY different capitalism built in. One even claims to be "communist" (whoever today thinks that China is communist clearly is not interested in reality a tiny bit). Lables are often not accurate to reality and sometimes even the opposite of what is real. Which finally leads me to the movie: Over the gates of many Concentration Camps in Germany the words "Arbeit macht frei" was written. "Work sets you free" is the translation. Do you think the Jews and others who where there in KZs should have believed it just because the words have been large? Dont take every claim or label like a given.

@@BoothTheGrey socialism/communism is theoretically a good idea, but greed at the top always takes over. The difference is opportunity and freedom at lower levels. Yes, we have the 1% (that includes politicians/the government) that are exponentially richer than the rest of the US, however any person in the US still has the ability to do what they want and make their lives better. Anyone can start a business and if it does well, they can reap the benefits. This is not so under socialism/communism. All of that wealth goes to the state (elites).

@@CharlieRogers50 I dont wanted to start a discussion what is "better" and what not. I just wanted to say that a label sometimes is really misleading. And the label "communism" or "socialism" is often misleading. But your claims are already partly ideological. How sad. Actually no US person has the ability to do what they want - which is quite good. But for many their freedom is really limited. Cause everybody who has no money is clearly forced to sell his labor force. This is really no pure freedom (especially when in USA your health care depends on it). In USA work is so absurdly exxagarated. The best way to make a system better is to look very critical about it. And not defend it all over the place.

@@BoothTheGrey "They should make a movie about the $20 million people that died during the socialist/communist state under Lenin and Stalin." You: "It really wasn't that bad." 😳😳😳😳😳 Imagine if someone said that about the Nazis and the Holocaust.

To your question as to why he seemed more comfortable at the beginning and tense at the end; He didn’t care in the beginning who was hurt, or who was lost. All he cared about was money. It wasn’t after spending time with the Jews that he understood what was truly going on, then started to grow more tense as time passed. He realized he played an important part of these peoples fate

The "familiar" guy is Sir Ben Kingsley...Gandhi likely his most famous movie. Ralph Fiennes played Amon Goeth. He said playing the part really made him sick for a long time. The part at the end where the real people were accompanied by the actors who portrayed them was beautiful, especially the little boy who hid in the toilet, now a grown man. This movie needs to be a warning that such horrors can happen again and ARE happening again. Nobody is born hating. It is learned and taught by evil people. This is why history matters. Another excellent movie, much less graphic and more uplifting is "Nicky's Family" about an Englishman who smuggled out children. Few, including his own wife and the children he saved as infants knew what he did until decades later and they found out by accident when his wife found a stash of photos and names.

Thanks for watching this movie. I personally think the girl in the red coat symbolizes the change in Schindler's perspective; when he sees her body in the cart on the way to the pyre, he has that look on his face of revelation and realization.

18:51 - a wonderful movie and best performance by Liam Neeson (in my opinion) is "Les Miserable" 1998 with Uma Thurman and Geoffrey Rush. Consider reacting.
