Oskar Schindler

The Movie

The actual making of the film was also very hard, mentally. The surroundings were as real,as they could be, german soldiers in old german cars yelling at the jewish actors, people falling "dead" all around them, rags, buildings, everything was authentic.

Many times the filming stopped, because one (or more) of the actors started crying. Story boards were not used, actors had to feel every scene and sequence.

"...It's incredible to really live through this dark piece of European history, and feel it on your body and mind..." --Liam Neeson [Oskar Schindler]

"...I got the best grades in history, and I thought I knew what I was talking about,...well,.. I didn't then, and I don't now, because what these people lived through can't be described, it has to be experienced first hand, but I feel much more closer to the reality now, then I did at my High School - history exam..."
--Ralph Fiennes [Amon Goeth]

"...I never thought that my experiences and experiences of these 6 millions Jews that were murdered, should come to life, in such authentic and belivible way. Now all these 6 millions souls can rest in peace, and the survivors will not be forgotten. There are two men that we must thank from the bottom of our hearts, chares and remember them. And these two men are Oscar Schindler and Steven Spielberg..." --Leopold Page, one of the Schindlerjuden

Magda Schalam was a Hungarian Jew who spent time in several places during the Holocaust; including Krakow, Auschwitz and Plaszow. She was not a Schindlerjuden and here she describes seeing the movie for the first time in Seattle.
