'A stimulating collection that assesses the strengths and limitations of Schlindler's List as a film and as a reflection of Holocaust experience. Readers who found the film controversial will have the same response to many of these essays, which invite us to range beyond the immediate issues of a single movie to challenging questions of aesthetic, religious, and theoretical concern.' - Lawrence L. Langer, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
