Schindler’s List
Steven Spielberg was afraid of “Schindler’s List.” While he was attracted to the story about a German businessman who tried to save Jewish refugees during the Holocaust, he was also unsure if he was the right man for the complicated job. Finally, after many other directors passed, Spielberg did it himself, resulting in one of the most heartbreaking films ever made. The film won several Oscars and increased awareness worldwide of what truly happened during the Holocaust.
