The little girl's jacket is red so that she stands out from the masses. When color is used, it makes a point and an impression. And Schindler′s soul is touched by the child, he feels her pain, cries for her. The plight of the one little girl in red touches him in a way the shear numbers make unreal, it is easy to get lost in numbers. He transforms the faceless mass around him into one real palpable human being. This one child is a symbol of all the 6.000.000 victims, exposed to ruthless slaughter. The little girl in the red coat footage gives a feeling of hope. You think that she may be able to get away, that she has a chance. But then you see her later, and she is dead. She has already been killed, and you feel the despair and a lot of anger towards these Nazis. How could they kill something so innocent?

Because she represented all the Lost Generation of Children.

As that is so important to him and what made him think
The fact he saw her red coat on the pile, and we only know it as its red as its the only thing in colour

Its such an amazing film.. god I love it =]

It symbolizes death at least i think so if you buy the dvd it talks about it in the extras but i think thats what it stands for...

---

To show us the devastation of war, you watch her all the time and then you see her dead. Like hundreds of other little children.

A symbole of something pure and untouched by the atrocities going on around.
That's how I saw it.

---

to bring attention to the girl,and how she excepted war and except the nature of the out come

---

I think it signifies that even in the most horrendous situations, there's always that little glimmer of hope. It may have even symbolized Schindler himself.
That was a great movie.

---

Meant to show that she is ahhhh......evil. That's it!
