    Special Features
    The movie is spread across both sides of the DVD, with bonus material also found on Side B. Steven Spielberg introduces the 77-minute "Voices From The List," a documentary that features interviews with Holocaust survivors who tell their incredible stories. There is also an 11-minute "Shoah Foundation Story With Steven Spielberg," in which founding chairman Spielberg explains why he started the visual history organization. This DVD also features one of the best cast and filmmaker biography archives; a supplement that is often very weak with most DVD titles. Finally, there is a biography of Oskar Schindler and, inside the sleeve of the DVD packaging, is a brochure with production notes. Also available in a Collector's Gift Set which adds additional extras.

    Reason #67 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is by far the most in-depth and comprehensive publication in its genre. Readers of all levels of expertise can increase their knowledge and enhance their enjoyment of the Home Theatre experience. Widescreen Review is one of the few, if not the only publication, that actually affects manufacturer’s decisions in regards to their product lines. I believe one of the reasons DTS decoding is so common in consumer equipment is due to the efforts of Gary Reber and his associates. Additionally, the magazine has heralded the importance of a properly calibrated video monitor. Consumers who are so inclined now have the information needed in order for their equipment, from entry level to state-of-the-art, to be the best that it can be. Add to this the software reviews, articles on emerging technologies, and meticulous equipment reviews, and you have a magazine that sets the standard for others to emulate. This is why I read Widescreen Review.
