Incredible and perhaps one of the most meaningful and important films you could ever see

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2019)

Just watched Schindler's List. It was being screened to mark its 25th anniversary and Holocaust Memorial Day.
This really is the worst kind of horror film you could wish to see; as you watch with the knowledge that human beings murdered six million Jews, as well as other minority groups picked out for not conforming to the 'norm', having different beliefs, looks or lifestyles. The credits at the end of the film lists the facts at the end.
It is utterly horrific in its contents, yet it is a story that must be retold lest anyone forget.
Not having watched it for many years, the tears and full sobs flooded as I saw the panicked, lost little girl in her red coat, and the atrocities, like the piles of shoes, clothes, personal effects and dead bodies growing.
It's difficult to even begin to try and comprehend what the feeling must have been like during this tragic era, yet the film manages to depict this with a stark clarity and, somehow, a sense of dignity.
The credits show that Oskar Schindler saved 1,200 lives. He was a remarkable man, awarded the the title of a Righteous person on 1958, and this is a truly remarkable film.
In my view, not only is Schindler's List a stand out Oscar winning film, brilliantly acted by its entire cast, especially Liam Neeson as Schindler himself, it's one of the best, most important and meaningful films ever to have been made.
