Not a good film, but a major, incredibly important work.

I can't stand Spielberg and his style, I consider him minor director at best, but I am eternally grateful to him for making that film.

Never mind all its weaknesses, the subject carries it through and should leave a deep mark in everyone.

I think it must be studied and discussed in high schools. Some of what goes on there might be missed otherwise. There are thousands of layers to the Holocaust story.

I will not go watch it in theater... and perhaps the work like that should really be seen in a more chamber-like environment, I think its effect is more pronounced that way. My wife refused to see it, and I fully understand her. Her knowledge of the subject and her pain are deep. I too was overcome by emotions at times... even though I am way too aware of those horrors.

Speaking of Holocaust films, I would also strongly recommend French La Rafle, with Jean Reno - consider it a sister film to SL.
