iv watched Schindler's List, tried to read the book too but i couldnt follow it that well. it was a whole lot different to what i thought.
why do they show you those movies? because i could imagine it would be very hard for a lot of people.

Well, yes. It's hard. Of course. It's about a very dark part of European history. But it's not meant to be entertaining. I think, it's meant to remind people of how cruel and how compassionate humans can be. In Germany, the need to be reminded is even bigger than elsewhere. We need to remember that Germans in that time did horrible, unspeakable things, but also, that they weren't all monsters and mass-murderers
And from an artist's point of view, I just think they made a beautiful movie.
