>SWINDLER'S LIST
• based on "Schindler's Ark" (1982) by Australia novelist, Thomas Keneally, who nabbed it from the ex-Kapo, Poldek Pfefferberg, who tried to hock it to MGM (didn't want it)
• a work of FICTION, as was clearly festooned the covers of the novel before 1991
• Spielberg sacked Keneally as script writer
• filmed to be "faction" (fact + fiction): "I want to portray the events more from a journalistic viewpoint [...] Moreover, we set ourselves the aim that, in a few years' time, nobody would be able to tell when the film was made." ~ Janusz Kamiński (cinematographer)
• Spielberg rejected smuggled footage from a Kraków inmate
• many scenes were made up, such as the infamous "sniping" scene -- the location of the officer villa (below the camp) was falsely depicted atop above the camp
• FICTION: Schindler gave diamonds to free women; FACT: friend of Schindler's wife and a promiscuous Nazi Party member, slept with Auschwitz officers for the deal
• FICTION: Schindler and accountant (Yitzhak Stern) did not compile "the list"; FACT: the commandant, Göth with the aid of Jewish Kapos, extorted prisoners
• Spielberg said that he never had an identity or felt part of an ethnic gorup until he made the film
• in a piece book, Spielberg deliberately crops out parts of the Nordhousen sick camp that was bombed by the British, and presents the 4,000 bodies as Nazi victims
• despite attracting an "R" rating, the film was shown to school children all over the Western world; often traumatising the kids enough to bring them to tears
• following the "Cave of Patriarchs Massacre" in Jerusalem (1994), by a crazed Zionist settler (24 dead and 130 injured), and a subsequent awakening of many younger Israelis to the dangers of Zionist extremism, Spielberg was hailed by the Israeli government and ordered to undertake tours throughout the country's schools, showing his fiction to them to re-instill victimhood
