The Road to Auschwitz: What's So Funny about "Schindler's List"?
Beck, Bernard
Multicultural Education, v2 n3 p13-15 Spr 1995
Criticizes the movie "Schindler's List" as portraying the Holocaust in a profane manner. The author suggests Schindler is a bad choice as a protagonist because his story distracts the audience from the real victims. He views the choice of a non-Jew in a heroic portrayal of this type as one culture's way of popularizing another culture's history. (GR)
