A symbol of tragedy: The girl in the red coat
(Picture: Universal)The woman who once played ‘the girl in the red coat’ in Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film Schindler’s List is now helping Ukrainian refugees on the Polish border.
Those who saw Schindler’s List will have never forgotten the girl in the red coat. In Steven Spielberg’s three-hour epic about the Holocaust, filmed entirely in black and white, the young girl’s coat is the only glimmer of colour.
