Talk:Schindler's List/Archive 1

message: How reliable is the suggestion that Shindler didn't write the list? It sounds kinds of dubious jubeanation
:Apparently Schindler's wife said she never heard of him writing a list, but that Goldberg wrote a list/lists, and Schindler merely suggested a few names. I'm trying to find the biography that mentions this. -68.114.154.249 04:05, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

message: If I correctly recall, I believe that the ring that was made for Oskar was shown in color and should be added to the page.
It wasn't. The Girl in Red and a couple of candles are the only color items in the bulk portion of the movie. Tower7 05:34, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gold Ring 

message: From the opening paragraph:
"The movie, adapted by Steven Zaillian and directed by Steven Spielberg, relates the tale of Oskar Schindler, a Czechoslovak Catholic businessman who was instrumental in saving the lives of over one thousand Polish Jews during the Holocaust."
I thought Schindler was born in Austria-Hungary in the Sudetenland in what is now the Czech Republic. Schindler was not a Czechoslovak Catholic. His sirname Schindler really doesn't imply he's Czech. In fact the 'real' Schindler article states he was a Sudeten-German. The majority of us would know that the Sudetenland was incorporated into Germany in 1938. For nineteen years of his life Schindler was living in Czechoslovakia, but not as an ethnic Czech. Calling him Czechoslovak is missleading. Kyle sb 10:27, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Czechoslovak? 

message: Well, I just pointed out that "list" is german for a prank or cunning, so the film title is a bit of a double meaning- "Schindler's list-of-people", but also "Schindler's pranking-of-germans" (In better language than that), but it was reverted.  I'm not making up the German there, it does mean that. I was surprised this wasn't mentioned, I've heard it mentioned any time I've seen the movie, at least once from my German teacher. 
Any particular protest? Cantras 08:13, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Image is wrong 

message: Going unsaid is the fact that a single man did more to preserve life than an entire country. Of course, Poland should not bear blame for being ravaged by Nazi aggression, but the comparison at least underscores the rarity of a figure like Schindler.
As a matter of fact, please refer to the list of nations with most names included on the list found in the Yad Vashem Institute as Righteous Among the Nations to find that in spite of many dreadful acts and omnipresent lack of sensitivity towards their Jewish neighbors, Poland will remain on the top the list. Mind you, those people could pay with their lives (and many did) not only their money.--Mattjashka 18:03, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: WT*! So every single person on the planet should sacrifice their lives to save one jew????? Some noble German people DID do things but that's irrelevant, what you are suggesting, German people, most of whom were UNAWARE OF THE HOLOCAUST, should have done all they could to shelter jews, despite the fact that it would have resulted in their quick and painful deaths but NO! Unless every single German citizen gave their lives to spare the poor and miserable jews they will forever be labelled as assholes.
