The thing about Schindler's List is that it is,to a substantial degree,historically accurate. Of course Speilberg took some "creative liberties" but if he hadn't it would have become a documentary...and they're typically pretty boring.
Yes, Schindler’s List, the film, is quite accurate. I read the book. Spielberg felt it was his duty to portray the events of that period as realistically as possible.
While studying languages in Germany many years ago, I did have the chance to visit a few of the camp memorial sites. This forever changed my view of humanity.
My uncle’s parents were both murdered at Auschwitz. My uncle escaped to this country when he was 16. His parents couldn’t get out in time. He went back to fight for the American army in Europe a few years later. He was a decorated soldier. As you can imagine, this stuff is very real to me.
Don’t know if you’ve ever done it but years ago I took a day trip to one of the camps...Dachau.It was a cold,dreary March day and I must say it was the single most disturbing day of my life.

Been to Dachau. A cold, dreary day, same as you. Almost fifty years ago now.
I distinctly remember the sculpture at the entrance.
Extremely Disturbing. Left a permanent mark.
