And I believe it was you who asked whether Spielberg's donations of money from the "Schindler" fund was a "good thing". This is what has always amazed me about the "Schwindler" movie ... he made money off of others' labour in support of / from the fascist regime and was rewarded later on for his ... what? Humanitarian instincts? There was no way he could have known -- much less anyone else -- that the people were going to be saved or starved or staved. With all the whoop-do about Bush and Ford and VW and all the others' companies making moolah off of others' forced labours and how "guilty" they were (and are), this guy Schindler comes off as a hero. It has only been AFTER the fact that Otto could be seen as a hero. But for how long would he have kept his crewe at work had things turned out slightly differently for the National Socialists? It all depends on how you tell the story and at which point the audience has been softened up to accept the story line. A<>E<>R "Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk.
