 10 FACTS ABOUT HISTORY AND MOVIE
"SCHINDLER'S LIST"
Schindler had 7 "life lists".

The granddaughter of Nazi Amon Goethe is half Nigerian, and his daughter believed that her father was a hero.

The story became known from a seller in a leather goods store.

  Spielberg postponed the film for more than 10 years because he was unsure of his abilities and considered it a plot for mature producers.

There were dinosaurs between this film and Spielberg.

For the role of Oscar Schindler, they were looking for an unfamiliar actor so that people would pay attention to the plot and not to the face.

Initially, the film had to be in Polish or German.

The girl in a red coat is a symbol of indifference of strong states.

The film had its critics.

Spielberg refused to pay for this film, calling it "blood money."

The girl in a red coat is a symbol of
indifference of strong states.

Thomas Kinilli's book and numerous interviews

with survivors mention how impressed Oscar
Schindler was with one case.  This was during
the liquidation of the Krakow ghetto, when there
was a shooting around, people were put in paddy
wagons, someone tried to escape, the Nazis
shouted, and a little girl was walking in a bright
red coat on the streets, and no one seemed to see
her!  Spielberg sees this as symbolism: "For me,
this meant that people - Roosevelt, Eisenhower
and perhaps Stalin and Churchill - knew about
the Holocaust.  It was their secret, which they
hid well, and they did nothing to stop it.  It was
as if the Holocaust itself was dressed in red. "
 Schindler had 7 "life lists".
During the war, Schindler and his accomplices compiled seven similar
lists: two of them are kept in Yad Vashem, Israel, one in the Holocaust
Museum in Washington, USA, and one fell into the hands of a private
owner.  He tried to sell the list in the online store eBay for $ 3 million,
but instead of excitement, he was met with a wave of criticism.  He has
been criticized the most for wanting to make money on tragedies, while
the list itself costs much less than 3 million: the valuable thing is the
story that preceded the compilation of these lists, not the lists
themselves.
Thomas Kinelli's book fell into the hands of film
director Steven Spielberg in the 80's, and after reading
it, he said: "This is a terrific story!  Is that true? ”  The
studio immediately bought the rights to make the film
based on Kinelli's book, but for 10 years Spielberg did
not pursue the idea because he considered it too
difficult for himself.  He even tried to persuade
another producer, Roman Polanski, whose mother died
in Auschwitz, to make the film.  Polanski refused
because the experience was too traumatic for him,
although he would later make his own film about the
times of genocide, The Pianist (2002).  During
Spielberg's hesitations, another film company almost
bought the idea, but the director came to his senses in
time and retained the rights.
