Is Schindler's list based on the holocaust?

Answer 1

The book is way better and they show different things in each by singer

New Answer:
In the movie, to start, the boys are eight instead of nine. Also, they are the exact same age in the book, in the movie it is unknown if they are the exact same age or not.
There is a dinner scene with Hitler in the book that was excluded in the movie.
Schmuel certainly has more dialog in the book rather than the movie.
Bruno's mom is more sensitive to the Jews in the movie.
You don't know that the cook/doctor (i forget his name) was beaten, it was referred to as terrible things.
Also, hitler is always referred to as "the fury" in the book, but hardly referred to at all in the movie
I am certain there are many more differences than I listed, but these are just a few.

Answer 2

there are a multitue of differences, people have written papers about it.

briefly; Spielberg needed to change the story so that the film would be entertaining. The roles of the females were reduced of eliminated. The Jews only appeared in the film as a method to evolve the story between Schindler and Goeth, there was almost no screen time given to rge Jewish part of the story. People were combined into a single character (so that the audience could follow it better).

At any rate, remember that it is a film and has no responsibility to tell the truth, it was made to entertain and make money, as such it is one of the best films ever made.
