Why was Schindler's List banned?
Steven Spielberg was deeply influenced by his parents who were indirectly affected by the Holocaust and who told their children stories about it. Spielberg wanted to pass along Schindler's compelling story. He did not see his film as entertainment but as a story that needed to be told. You can hear Spielberg talking about his reasons for filming at the video at the related link.
More Detail
The story of the making of the film pre-dates Spielberg's involvment by over ten years. Spielberg had been asked to make the film in the eighties, but he did not feel ready as he did not feel established enough. Even though he was responsible for many of the most sucessful films to date, this film would become a 'passion project' for him.
Spielberg needed to pick the right time to make the film, and with the (National) US Holocaust Memorial Museum due to open in 1993, and Holocaust awareness in the US being at an all time low, Spielberg picked this time to attach himself to the project.
The film needed to reach as wide an audience as possible, this explains why Spielberg chose to change parts of the story, to make it more entertaining, or to amalgamate many people into one character (Itzack Stern) so that the audience could more easily identify with him and follow the story Spielberg felt was the most important story to tell.
The movie was made to educate people, to entertain people and to make money (over 1200% profit).
Why is it important for your future to remember Schindlers List?
It puts a face to the statistics you read in your text books.
It shows you how out of hand a dictatorship can become, and how timid the people can be to stand up to those kinds of people.
When they exhumed bodies, that meant that they would dig up the dead bodies from the ground and prepare to burn them. It's a verb.
What were the theoretical perspectives in Schindler's List?
In the both the book and the movie Schindler's list, the point of view is of an onlooker on the situation. There is no actual person standing there right beside Schindler the whole time, but it is filmed and written that way. This point of view has no thoughts of its own, but instead in the book, it seems as if you can hear the thoughts of whoever is being talked about. For example, if talking about Schindler, it would say what he was doing at the time, but also why it is thought he was doing it. In a silly and stupid example: Schindler was eating bananas at the time. He was eating his bananas because he had seen someone slip on one the other day, and thought that if he ate them, they would stop trying to rule the world. etc. I hope this helps :)

Is Schindler's list based on the holocaust?
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.

What does the toast in Schindler's list mean?
Stern recognizes immediately Schindler's callousness and greed. Early on, he expresses disdain for Schindler and controlled outrage at his original offer to have Stern run the factory and secure Jewish investors. He refuses to drink with Schindler, making clear he does not approve of Schindler's morals. But Stern's attitude softens as Schindler becomes an active participant in saving the Schindlerjuden, and he eventually sees the good in his employer. He finally does have a drink with Schindler when the two say good-bye after they learn of the closing of the Plaszów labor camp and realize Stern will almost certainly be sent to his death. By accepting a drink, Stern demonstrates his respect for Schindler, and Schindler accepts the finality of Stern's probable fate.
When did Schindler make his list?
Oskar Schindler began compiling his list of Jewish workers in 1943, during World War II, as he sought to protect them from deportation to concentration camps.

Schindler's efforts were particularly significant from 1943 to 1944, as he leveraged his influence and resources to shield those on his list.
How was symbolism used in Schindlers List?
The film is in black and white, but there is one color in the film. There is a little girl in a red coat running in the war torn streets. Oskar Schindler watches her run for a while until she disappears from sight.

This symbolizes his caring for the Jews and his sorrow of the way they're treated
