Answer the following questions below. You may use a separate sheet of paper if
you don’t have enough room.

1. Schindler risked his life in order to save Jews. It was a time when terror reigned.
The Jews had been dehumanized in non-Jewish eyes by Nazi propaganda and
brutality. Tom Keneally, the author of the book Schindler's List, quotes Schindler as
having said that "A life is not worth a pack of cigarettes." Yet Schindler risked his
own life. Why do you think he did this based on what you saw in the film?

2. In making Schindler’s List, Spielberg says he tried to be “more of a reporter than

a passionate, involved filmmaker—because I wanted to communicate information

experience…[but] out of history.” That vision influenced many of his decisions as
the film’s director. Identify and describe 3 scenes that reflect Spielberg’s desire to
place the viewer “inside the experiences of Holocaust survivors and actual victims
as close as a movie can.” Describe the effect these scenes had on you as a
viewer.

experience and realizations did he have to create this transformation?
