    There may have actually been multiple lists, some written even while he was in prison. Although he might not have written the entire list himself, the fact that there was a list is undeniably because of Schindler, and the extremes to which Schindler went to save the Jews on this list is accurately displayed in Schindler’s List. The horrors that the majority of Jews experienced were sometimes much crueler than what the film portrayed, yet, because Schindler’s List was about those Jews specifically on the list, this also does not ruin any historical significance of the film. Some critics claim that the ending was too blissful, as over six million Jews died in the Holocaust, but, once again, the film is based off those on Schindler’s list, those who did survive; therefore, overall, Schindler’s List accurately portrays life for those on the list during the Holocaust.…
