Schlinder's List is a compelling movie and while it may not be exactly accurate, the major theme of the movie is wholly indisputable. Part of the problem in the US is that people do not want to deal with the harshness of reality and therefore they turn their heads and "pretend" the matter away.Unfortunately, those who do not know history are bound to repeat it. Hitler exterminated millions of Jews in an attempt to wipe out an entire race...and almost accomplished it. If that doesn't get your attention, maybe the movie's depiction of the ovens will....
What is truely amazing is that this event in history occurred only about 60 years ago; all when the sentiment in the US was not to get involved. The exact same sentiment today when it comes to dealing with foreign powers gone nuts.
You need to see this movie for no other reason than to realize the danger of US foreign policy apathy. Had the US gotten involed earlier, many millions of lives would have been preserved.
