Night At the Movies - Ryan

Today we are are going to do a movie review of Schindler's list, which coincides with my Film in History class. For those of you who dont know, Schindler's list is a a Spielberg film on the Holocaust, with the protagonist as a German business man who saves some of the Jews from Auschwitz. The film has been criticized though, for its empathy towards the German people not knowing or being benevolent towards the holocaust , which can be considered Intentionalist because the blame is cast on the Nazi elite. The reality however, is that the German people were apathetic or supportive to the gradually segregation and extermination of the Jews. Question is, does Shindler's list accurately portray the holocaust?
