Schindler's List Resources. Visit the official Schindler's List website and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to learn more about the movie and the Holocaust including a comprehensive site about Oskar Schindler. There's another site for Schindler authored by Louis Bulow which is very comprehensive, but with lots of advertising and which tends toward shock rather than content. Read a film review of Schindler's List by Roger Ebert from 2001.Scrapbookpages.com hosts a very good site that provides information on the Plaszow for travelers who plan to visit the site of the infamous work camp. The site includes photos of the concentration camp as it looks today, biographical info about Amon Goeth, and photos of the monument to those who were killed there.
