Schindler’s List, Stephen Spielberg’s 1993 blockbuster movie on how one Nazi businessman found his soul, and saved more than 1,000 Jews from the gas chambers, will be the background for a Madera Method project at Madera South High School.
Valerie Shelton’s Historical Literacy class will use the recently found interviews with Leon Leyson, the youngest survivor of Schindler’s List, to unveil a deeply personal view of his rescue from the Nazi death camps.
The interviews were conducted by historian Bill Coate in Leyson’s Fullerton home, and produced by KMPH Television. They give a first person account of one person’s debt to Oskar Schindler for his life.
