Obviously no one can produce
anything to compare to the real
experience. However, there do
exist excellent documentary films
which better serve this purpose
and would present a more truth-
ful (and less Hollywood influ-
enced) view of our history.
I would also caution any par-
ent, as no critic deemed neces-
sary to do, that there are sexually
explicit scenes which some may
find inappropriate for their child.
I was offended and disappointed
that Mr. Spielberg had to make
a pictorially graphic point that
he could otherwise have alluded
to or merely suggested.
I think it is unfair to expect
teen-agers to digest and react
emotionally to this tragic time in
Jewish history and simultane-
ously test their hormonal re-
sponse to full-nude shots of
sexually active adults.
These "exposures" juxtaposed
against the fear-gripped naked
Jews facing their deaths in the
showers make a poignant con-
trast. But is that necessary to
show our teen-agers? I am dis-
appointed that Mr. Spielberg
could not resist a few "choice"
scenes in his cathartic attempt
to make a film for and about his
people.
Let us not fall into a trap of
presuming that this highly ac-
claimed Hollywood film is suit-
able as a learning experience for
high-schoolers or an adequate in-
troduction to the atrocities of the
Holocaust. It is an account of and
tribute to Oskar Schindler and
should be treated as such.
