Spielberg's 'Schindler's List' Airs on ARTE Amid German Political Climate

Steven Spielberg's 1993 Holocaust drama 'Schindler's List' will air on ARTE on April 26 and remain available in the ARTE Mediathek until May 3. The film, which won seven Academy Awards, tells the story of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who saved over a thousand Jewish lives during the Holocaust. Set in Krakow after the 1939 Nazi invasion, the film follows Schindler (Liam Neeson) as he initially exploits Jewish labor for profit, but later transforms into a protector. The article highlights the film's renewed relevance in the context of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and the concept of 'remigration.' The film features Ben Kingsley as Itzhak Stern and Ralph Fiennes as Amon Göth. The broadcast is presented as a timely reminder of the dangers of extremism.
