Steven Spielberg's Schindler's ListSchindler's List, the award-winning film directed by Steven Spielberg, is becoming a significant teaching tool in high schools across the nation. Spielberg himself explained why in the preface to the Facing History study guide prepared with funding from his production company, Amblin Entertainment, and Universal Films. He wrote: There are too many places where hatred, intolerance and genocide still exist. So Schindler's List is no less a "Jewish story" or a "German story" than a human story. And his argument applies to every nation. Schindler's List is simply about racial hatred, that is, the state of mind that attacks not what makes us people but what makes us different from each other. My hope is that Schindler's List raises and sustains awareness of such evil and inspires this generation and future generations to seek to end racial hatred. Facing History and Ourselves has developed a study guide to inform this journey by helping students make essential connections between past and present. Over a million students have already seen the film in theaters and many more will have the opportunity to see it on video. Amblin Entertainment and Universal Films are offering every high school principal in the nation a copy of the video and study guide Facing History and Ourselves developed to accompany the film.
