IMPORTANT EDIT!

I forgot to ask the most important question and the reason I wanted to make this thread: how could people possible be okay with doing this? I get that people didn't have internet and whatnot back then, but how could an entire nation and their military go through with these actions? I just can't fathom how that could happen in a first-world country. Additionally, why did it take so long for other countries to intervene and finally participate in what we now call World War 2? I just don't understand how exactly this happened. If any European country or the United States tried something like that today I'm pretty sure they'd be squashed quickly by other countries. Back when I was in school and I learned about the Holocaust we always spent more time on what happened and not much time on exactly how. I remember us hearing about how people did it because they thought they were just doing their job, but there must be more to it than that.

End of edit

Schindler's list is an amazing, heartbreaking and tragic movie. But how historically accurate? Especially in regards to the Nazi's treatment of the Jews and how the Jews survived.

For example, there's a scene where the Nazi's are raiding Jewish apartments and forcing everyone to relocate so one family quickly takes jewelry from hiding places in the walls, wraps them in bread and then puts the bread in their mouths. What's their goal here? To temporarily hide the valuables in their mouths or to actually swallow them and recover them from a later bowel movement? Did Jewish people really do that?

Also, how accurate was the scene where the Nazis are burning massive amounts of corpses and dumping them into a gigantic flaming pit via conveyor belt? Did they really do that?

What else can you say about the historical accuracy of the movie?

Thanks!
