3. The film should take a more kaleidoscopic approach not focusing on ONE character, but encompassing more intensively the lives emotions, prejudices, and social circumstances of many different characters including perhaps one or two more predominant NAZI characters. Because the events surrounding the Holocaust are so complex and during the event changed drastically with different events it is necessary that we provide a vision that is similar to manner of the Holocaust
4. Why Hitler? World war one was over and it left Germany in a very bad economical status. Hitler started to work his way through political venues spreading his message and propaganda.

7. Other Ways this has worked in film. The method that crash uses in its depiction of the lives of seven characters, none of them whom are the main whose lives are drawn together by an instance (in this case the crash) The film successfully brings the characters together while illuminating their personal plights; in order for Schindler’s List to work as a teaching tool the film must take a similar approach
8. Things start to go up in flames 1938, Germany: April 24 Jews must register their property August 17 Jews are required to add "Israel" to their name for men and "Sarah" for women October 5 Jewish passports are marked with the letter "J" for "Jude“ November 15 Jewish children expelled from German schools
