{"title": "Schindler's List 1993 and how Spielberg was perfect to tell this story", "timestamp": 1770289921.6608176, "description": "As a kid I did not understand the need for movies like *Schindler's List*. Growing up Jewish I knew about the Holocaust. I knew about the Nazis and heard stories about stuff they did. But movies in my childhood brain were firmly just a form of entertainment. What entertainment is there if you are watching people suffer? Yet [as I explain in my other article](/articles/the_psycho-sexual_analysis_of_blender_dumbass) at about 14 I got to a rather strange point in my life, when everything dark and real became important. That's when I saw *Schindler's List* for the first time.  That's when a film that is not made for entertainment suddenly started making sense.", "author": {"avatar": "https://blenderdumbass.org/pictures/favicon.png", "bio": "Aka: J.Y. Amihud.
