Schindler's List
Even though Hollywood isn’t known for producing historically accurate movies, Schindler’s List can be considered as a somewhat accurate representation of the Holocaust. There was an actual Oskar Schindler, and a real Amon Göth, and a factory by the name of Deutsche Emailwaren Fabrik, and a camp by the name of Paszów. Living conditions of the camps were portrayed very well, as was the time line of the movie. However, some parts of the movie were made up or inaccurate. For example, the movie shows that Schindler is broke at the end of the war, but he actually had piles of money when he went into hiding. It is also unknown whether Schindler watched the destruction of the Krakow ghetto from the hill where he is shown horseback riding, and it is
said that Schindler didn’t see the little girl in the red coat. Also, it is unsure whether Göth shot Jews from his balcony as a morning ritual, but it is a known fact that he killed many people. In addition, the movie says at the end that in 1958, the Jews named Schindler a "righteous gentile" for what he did. In reality, Schindler was not named until 1993, which was 19 years after his death. It is even said that Schindler had almost nothing to do with the list that saved Jews lives. And the scene where the women are accidentally sent to Auschwitz wasn’t exactly correct. It was based on an incident at the same time of women being rerouted to a camp called Gross-Rosen. Many scenes in the movie are dramatized to make it seem more important or to make it more entertaining. There was some exaggeration in some scenes, but not enough to ruin the historical accuracy of the movie.
