Yes I think that Schindler's List is a reasonable historical resource because it showes us what the jews went through and what it was like for them to be moved into concentration and extermination camps and ghettos. The film also shows us that not all Germans hated the jews as we see when Schindler makes his list and saves the jews that work for him. It is also a historical resource because the things that we see happen in the film and the things that Schindler did really happened.
