I'm a long time SBTB reader, so I remember the atrocity of "For Such a Time". Nauseatingly, there is a subgenre of WW2 romance with Nazis and Jews falling in love, I've seen a number of them. I didn't hate "Schindler's List". I put it in another category, because it is based on a true story, and it's not a romance. I guess for me the message was, some people who did the right thing during the Holocaust were very flawed human beings, not saints or heroes. And it was not religious at all. It was more of a Huck Finn kind of epiphany that Schindler had.

But I understand your hatred of the gentile savior, like the white savior movies set during the Civil War or the Civil Rights era. Don't get me started on Mississippi Burning!
