In 1951 the idea of producing a film about Oskar Schindler ́s deeds during the Second World War was mentioned by Paul Page. Page was known as Poldek Pfefferberg before he emigrated to the USA as one of 1200 holocaust survivors saved by Schindler.1 In March 1994, just a few months after several racist attacks against asylum seeker hostels in Germany, Steven Spielberg presented his new film to an audience including Ignatz Bubis, head of the Jewish community in Germany, and the German President Richard von Weizäcker in Frankfurt/Main. As the film was so shocking, an old lady from the audience suddenly felt faint and had to be brought out of the hall. The extremely high security precautions at the film debut, as well as the violence against asylum seekers some weeks before, suggested that Anti- Semitism and violence against minorities still were problems in the reunified Federal Republic Of Germany. At the presentation ceremony Spielberg made it clear that this film was meant to be for thousands of US- American high school kids who had not even heard of the Nazis.2 As a Hollywood movie, Schindler’s List was able to open people’s minds to the unique cruelties that had happened during the Second World War. The film became a great commercial success and provoked a firestorm of controversies. The critics’ most important question was whether the film dealt with the holocaust in an appropriate way or not. In order to give the reader an idea about the film’s history, this paper will first explain how Schindler ́s List came into being and what it is about. Afterwards it will present some criticisms on the film. The last chapters discuss common criticisms on Schindler’s List, and develop an own stand towards the question whether Spielberg’s movie was an appropriate way of dealing with the holocaust or not. As it is assumed that the reader roughly knows the film, this paper does not give a summary of the film. 1 Erika Rosenberg (Hrsg.): Ich, Oskar Schindler, München 2000, p. 409 2 Die Tageszeitung, Tränen zur Deutschlandpremiere, 3.3.1994
