When I was going through cardiac rehab I met a wonderful Polish woman who had also recently survived a heart attack. She was a young girl in 1939 when the Nazi’s invaded Poland and she wound up in a concentration camp during the Nazi occupation. She survived though she lost her entire family to the camps.

One day when we were talking she told me that the Pianist is a very good movie, very close to what many had experienced. She then looked at me and said, “Schindler’s List is shit!”

For that reason alone, I cannot put it anywhere on a “top” list.

Interesting about the woman that survived the concentration camps. At one of the hospitals I worked at, one of the nurse aides was also a survivor of the concentration camps and wore the tattoos to prove it...

One day someone told a polish joke at the nurse station and she was there and went ballistic.....she said how wrong it was and such jokes about ethnics (Jews) are what led to the concentration camps...first you make jokes about them, then they become less than human....

\She was a witness to how subtle treating others as less than human starts down a road that leads to Hitlers camps..By the time she was done, no one told anymore polish jokes. (my hubby was polish and always got a kick out of them. A wallet full of single dollar bills only was his polish bankroll) I still think of that when I end up with about 15 singles in my wallet. He passed on in 1990

So, you took the word of a woman in spite of the thousands of people that said the movie was accurate and true? Did she give reasons?
