Spielberg arrives in Havanna, Cuba
"Spielberg, who is Jewish, met descendants of survivors of Auschwitz and later laid a stone in a memorial to Holocaust victims at the city's Jewish cemetery. Cuba's Jewish community has dwindled to 1,500 members from 15,000 before Castro's 1959 revolution.
"'This culture, the people of Cuba are exploding with passion, talent and self-respect,' he told the audience that received him with a standing ovation.
"'I feel so much at home here...In only two days I have been enriched and I have gotten so much out of Cuba,' he said."
"Spielberg attacks US policy on Cuba"
...speaks out against U.S. embarg on Castro's communist dictatorship, which many liberals in the U.S. likewise also do.
