France 3 Airs 'Schindler's List' to Mark 80th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation

Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning film revisits the extraordinary story of Oskar Schindler's efforts to save over 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust.

The broadcast coincides with the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, highlighting the ongoing importance of Holocaust remembrance.
Steven Spielberg's 1993 film is widely regarded as a cinematic milestone in portraying the Holocaust and won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
The story centers on Oskar Schindler, a German industrialist who initially exploited Jewish labor but later risked his life to save over 1,100 Jews from Nazi death camps.
The film features acclaimed performances by Liam Neeson as Schindler, Ralph Fiennes as SS officer Amon Goeth, and Ben Kingsley as Schindler's accountant Itzhak Stern.
Despite some initial criticism for its approach, 'Schindler's List' is now considered an essential work in Holocaust education and cinematic history.
