For all of the questions below, write a specific, focused argument. Rather than a typical five paragraph essay, include no introduction or conclusion. Instead, your first sentence should be the debatable thesis guiding the next 300 words. In response both to the film Schindler’s List and the article about the film assigned to read, explain Spielberg’s concept of the purpose of the film—why did he make it? Within your answer to that question, consider how the film approaches the treatment of Oskar Schindler’s character (both moral and literary) as an entry point into the film about the Jewish experience of the Holocaust. Why does Spielberg use this entry point, and how does the framing of the Holocaust through Oskar Schindler help an American audience to make sense of the event? Write no more than 300 words.
