Voices from the List

This consists of real people telling their stories, zooms in on and pans across still photos, and filmed footage, from the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History.

It's 77 and a half minutes long. This is found on the 2-disc DVD release of Schindler's List.

They talk about Schindler. His partying and love of excitement. Kristallnacht. Germans marching into Krakow. Realizing that your neighbors might be Nazi sympathizers. Being forced to work like slaves, and in general having no rights. Hiding places. The brutal violence, even against children. Goeth. His abuse of Helen Hirsch. What he would wear when he was going to kill a lot of people. How they would fight back by refusing to let their spirit be broken. Saving pictures of ones parents even if it meant risking death if they were discovered. Feeling safe once Oskar added them to the list, so much so that for the first time they dared look Amon directly in the face.

I recommend this to everyone. 8/10

No pun intended as always. And a nice bonus on the Schindlers List release. The movie itself seems to great that some may think they do not need any more information, any more background. And that is fine, if you feel that way. The movie is as terrific as it can be. And as draining as it can be too.

So if you do not feel up to hearing more stories (as good as the people can remember them) ... well there is no shame. But if you want to see how close the movie was to reality (not that this will fact check it, but you get what I am trying to say), this is really a gem to say the least. Listen up - let's not ever have to listen to something like this ... ever again! Please! Let this be a warning - like the movie.
