From the Paper:

"Many historians and authors discussing the Holocaust believe only those who managed to survive the horrible conditions of the Nazi concentration camps are in fact qualified to write about what happened during those terrible times. Many writers and directors have attempted to tell the story of those who lived and died, but several maintain that the accounts by survivors are the only ones which accurately depict the ultimate evil of the Nazis and their policies of elimination for Jews, and anyone who did not belong to their blond and perfect "master race." One of these writers is Michael R. Marrus, who wrote "The Holocaust in History," which discusses in depth the historical aspects of the Holocaust. Since Spielberg also interviewed many survivors of the Holocaust, his film does tend to accurately portray the experiences of Jews in the Auschwitz concentration camp, and in the Poland ghetto of Krakow."
