5. You're welcome. It's very moving to me. I get a lump in my throat when I see it. nt

4. They need to screen this movie at The White House!

6. I find it emotional. I can hardly bear to watch that. I doubt the W.H. would view it that way.

They'd probably think that they're not real people, anyway. They're more like animals. I think Trump said that recently (altho I haven't verified that myself, to see if he really said that.)

7. I remember seeing the film in the theater

It was very tough to sit through though we already knew the facts. And you're certainly right about Trump, he has no empathy for other human beings, but it might get through to someone. That depiction really brought the realities home for those of us who only read about the war - and the atrocities - in history class.

8. Yes, it does. Even if someone wants to deport illegal immigrants...

(or undocumented immigrants)...I think we can all agree that taking children away from their parents is cruel and inhuman. The children would be traumatized, and who knows what all might happen to the children, w/o their parents there to watch out for them. America can't do such a thing.

The movie was intensely moving to me. Liam Neeson was perfect as Schindler. Now I see in person the steps/stages that people go through to get to the level of inhumanity as happened in Germany. How easily some people can be led in that direction.

9. If this doesn't cross the line, I don't know what does

I know we have managed to "normalize" Trump's myriad offenses, but anyone with families - including those who still somehow support him - have got to take notice.

And the film affected me, too. Reading about it and seeing the horrific atrocities depicted on the screen are two different things. Everyone needs to see it once so we never forget.

11. I totally agree. The children...who could treat children, any children, that way?

Taking children from their parents, harming them in any way...this cannot be normalized like other Trump's offenses, as you say. Children are innocent.
