Allegedly, this is what Stanley Kubrick said about the film: “Think that's about the Holocaust? That was about success, wasn't it? The Holocaust is about 6 million people who get killed. Schindler's List is about 600 who don't"

I will point out, the main character in Schindler’s List obviously wasn’t a victim of the Holocaust, he was part of the party and country that perpetuated it. However, the film does ultimately portray the various steps of how Germany committed it: Population displacement and segregation (Ghettos), state confiscation of property (Aryanization), forced labour, death squads (“Bullet Holocaust”), starvation, and gas chambers. This is how 6 million Jews were killed.

I find Kubrick’s take interesting. Do you agree with him?
