Thank you for listening and I hope you have learned a lot from Schindler's List and it's reflection of a racist society
What the prisoners did not see, aghast if a little exalted by the Herr Direktor nerve, was that Oskar was finishing the work he’d begun on the night of his birthday. He was destroying the SS as combatants. For if they stood there and swallowed his version as what was humane and correct [...] In the end, he said, I request you all to keep a three-minute silence, in memory of the countless victims among you who have died in these cruel years. They obeyed him [...] When it was over, the SS left the hall quickly. Keneally pg 372
“Doctor, doctor!” someone said. “Please!” answered Dr. H, by which he meant, I’m here and they’re a long way off yet. He looked at Dr. B, who narrowed his eyes as the noise of evictions broke out again three blocks away. Dr. B nodded at him, walked to the small locked pharmaceutical chest at the end of the ward, and came back with the bottle off hydrocyanic acid. After a pause, H moved to his colleague's side. He could have stood there and left it to Dr. B [...] But it would be too shameful, H thought, not to cast his own vote, not to take some of the burden. Keneally pg 179
On the cobblestones was a pile of victims. They law, some of them, with their heads split open, their limbs twisted. [...] They were people who had been detained here during the day and then executed. Poldek would say 60-70, though he had no time to count that tangled pyramid. Keneally pg 184
He’d been astounded when they executed all the ghetto policemen and their families last Christmas, as soon as Symche Spira had finished directing the dismantling of the Ghetto. They had brought them all, and their wives and children, up here on a gray afternoon and shot them as the cold sun vanish. They’d shot the most faithful as well as the most grudging. [...] That execution had shocked Oskar because it showed that there was no obedience or obeisance a Jew could make to guarantee survival. Keneally pg 254
"Oskar would lay special weight on this day. Beyond this day, he would claim. No thinking person could fail to see what would happen. I was now resolved to do everything in my power to defeat the system." Keneally pg 133
Keneally portrays that racism is still a major problem in both the book and today’s society, but there are still good people to fight against it
I will be talking about Schindler's List and how the novel makes a significant comment about society
