Schindler's List is one of my two all-time favorite movies. (Ben-Hur is the other one, also a Best Picture winner about persecuted Jews.) There was another foreign-language movie a few years ago about a sanitation worker in eastern Europe who saved dozens of Jews by hiding them in the sewers under the city. They had to live in that unpleasant location for several years, only emerging at last when the war ended, dirty and smelly and grimy and blinking against the sunlight. I forget the name of that movie -- it was Polish or Czech or something -- but I would love to see it again. I guess I'm just a sucker for movies of this genre.
