Schindler's List Theme / Itzhak Perlman

This Spadecaller video subtitled "Anti-social Studies," features quotes exclusively written by eighth grade students about Oskar Schindler, the holocaust, and related topics. About the music: John Williams composed the score for the epic movie, Schindler's List. Williams was awed by this amazing film, and felt it would be too challenging. He said to Spielberg, "You need a better composer than I am for this film." Spielberg replied, "I know. But they're all dead!" The main theme is played on piano by John Williams; and following Spielberg's suggestion, he hired Itzhak Perlman to perform it on the violin.

Danke das du das mit uns teilst, ein sehr schönes Video, besonders der letzte Satz ist wunderbar. Ich hoffe das wir alle nie vergessen werden und weiterhin versuchen aus unseren und den Fehlern der Generationen vor uns zu lernen.

("he only saved 1,200 not millions")

Firstly, it was an eight year old boy that made that statement. Secondly "only" is a sorry choice of words. How many lives have you saved from death in a concentration camp? And, thirdly, millions of Jewish people are now descendents of those that he did save. You can learn something from this eight year old student. Try thinking about this for a little while...

This is beautiful....I love this movie and especially this theme. The tragedy of the Holocaust should NEVER happen again. I have read a lot about the Holocaust and I have a good friend who is a survivor, I have yet to figure out how anyone on this planet could think it didn't happen. I am german descent and I am ashamed to call myself one. I ave asked my friend for forgiveness, even though I am only 40 years old and had nothing to do with her confinment.

@wimdb86 Uh, yeah, he hated Jews, wrote a whole book about it, and ordered for something like 12 million to be killed to "purify" Europe. I'm pretty sure he didn't do that because he was friends with them... which is kinda funny, not funny funny but ironic funny, because he very well may have had Jewish blood in him. The book is called Mein Kampf by the way, wrote it while he was in prison for making a coup earlier in his life.
