Schindler's List? But isn't that film classified as Fiction? Most of the cast in the film are of fictional characters, with only Schindler himself and a few of the SS officers being real people. And I've even heard arguments that the man was nothing but a War Profiteer, and the only reason anyone survived in his factory was because, they were factory workers, who were treated considerably better by the Nazis.
Also the clearing of the Jewish ghettos wereno where even remotely as brutal what was seen in the film, heck none of the films ever do a ghetto clearing accurately. They were normally orderly, being brutal would of caused panic, and even SS guards have openly talked about how orderly these evacuations were. They were not the slaughter fest seen in the film. In real life there DEFINITELY wasn't a road paved with Jewish Tomb Stones either, one of the dumbest parts of the entire movie. The film isn't even close to being accurate. The book Schindler's List was written to being a collection of a lot of different horror stories from the holocaust collected together, to do this they had to add a lot of fictional characters in the story. Also Schindler was a War Profiteer, he wasn't penniless when the war ended, so even the final scene in the movie was a joke.
