The 94-year-0ld Schaecter, that mentioned that he was the just one of his 105-member household to endure the Holocaust, composed, “I watched in anguish Sunday when I heard you use the platform of the Oscars ceremony to equate Hamas’ maniacal brutality against innocent Israelis with Israel’s difficult but necessary self-defense in the face of ongoing barbarity.”

Throughout his approval speech for Finest Worldwide Function Movie, Glazer condemned the recurring physical violence in between Israel and Palestine that started with the Oct. 7 Hamas strikes and proceeds 5 months later on in spite of international require Israel to provide a cease-fire in Gaza.

“Our film shows where dehumanization leads at its worst. It’s shaped all of our past and present,” Glazer claimed in his speech. “Right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people. Whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza — all the victims of this dehumanization, how do we resist?”

Schaecter proceeded, “You made a Holocaust movie and you won an Oscar. And you are Jewish. Good for you. But it is disgraceful for you to presume to speak for six million Jews, including one and a half million children, who were murdered solely because of their Jewish identity.”

“The Zone of Interest” has to do with Auschwitz commander Rudolf Höss (Christian Friedel) and his other half Hedwig (Sandra Müller), as they live a picturesque life in a desire home beside the well known prisoner-of-war camp.
