Yes, but it's also according to Tony Kushner, who is an extreme Leftist and rejects actual Judaism in preference for Liberally endorsed "Reformist" countering. Kushner is among the most profane authors I can list and his (and it seems Spielberg's) concept of "humanizing" this story is to profane Israel, as Kushner also profanes anything not among the extremely liberal kind.
I sincerely cannot stand all that Kushner embodies and represents, including what he's written.
We can only hope the film is a flop, but that probably won't happen.
