Abstract:
Presents a selection of documents (in English translation) dealing with the history of Schindler's rescue of 1,200 Jews (including Bejski) in Kraków and Brünnlitz. The texts include Schindler's speech to the liberated prisoners of the Brünnlitz camp on 8 May 1945, the letter furnished to Schindler on that day by the leaders of the survivors, speeches and excerpts of testimonies made by participants at the reception in Schindler's honor in Tel Aviv on 2 May 1962, and the eulogy delivered by Bejski at Schindler's funeral on 28 October 1974 in Jerusalem. Preceded by a foreword (pp. 317-319) in which Bejski states that although Spielberg's film is not always consistent with the historical facts, it is nevertheless of great importance because it succeeded in reconstructing the atmosphere of the Nazi camps and affords an opportunity for millions of viewers to learn something about the Holocaust.
