Hollywood and the Holocaust
By John Gross
Schindler's List
A film directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by Steven Spielberg, by Gerald R. Moren, by Branko Lustig
Universal Pictures/Amblin Entertainment

The gap between the Disney tradition and the demands of the material would simply have seemed too wide to be bridged.
