I just watched two old movies played by Ben Kingsley. I had known before that Gandhi was played by Kingsley, but I had not known that he was also in Schindler's List playing the Jewish accountant, Itzhak Stern.
The two movies have more things in common than Kingsley. Both Gandhi and Schindler are heroes to oppressed peoples. While Gandhi led his own people to independence, Schindler rescued a people he did not ethnically belong to. They both proved themselves to be selfless, but imperfect.
India became independent shortly after World War II. Gandhi had, on some occasions, written his opinions on Holocaust when it was taking place during the war.
