Steven Spielberg: 'The echoes of history are unmistakable in our current climate'

Spielberg said in listening to the accounts of survivors, “the echoes of history are unmistakable in our current climate.”


Spielberg said radical views create “a dangerous environment” and lead to “a society that no longer celebrates differences.”

The legendary director’s words were as poignant as his films are at their best, so a full transcript of his remarks is below.

Celina Biniaz, 92, one of the last living Holocaust survivors from Oskar Schindler’s List, was also honored at the event. Biniaz survived the Nazi regime because her parents worked for Schindler, a German businessman who employed Jews to protect them from the Nazis. She left the Auschwitz-Birk

Why do people "OVEREAT."..AND.. "UNDER EAT"? Answer :.....Eating too much or not enough is an addiction..

What foods are addictive?...SALT, SUGAR, COOKIES, CHOCOLATE, CERTAIN SALTED NUTS, ETC, ETC, .

WHY? ..........YOU LIKE A FOOD AND EAT TOO MUCH OF THAT FOOD & THAT OVEREATING CAUSES DEATH...

WHY DON'T PEOPLE KNOW THE ABOVE?
....................................... ..........1. MANY KNOW, AND DON'T WANT TO STOP.............
.................................................2 MANY HAVE TRIED TO STOP EATING A CERTAIN WAY... AND FAILED.
.................................................3.IT'S VERY HARD TO STOP AN ADDICTION,(LOOK AT A GROUP OF PEOPLE)
...................................................4. PEOPLE THINK THEY ...'KNOW IT ALL"
...................................................5. WHY DO PEOPLE THINK THEY ...'KNOW IT ALL" ....
...................................................6....HERE IS ONE ANSWER WHY PEOPLE THINK.".THAT THEY KNOW IT AL:
..........................................................LET'S SAY SOMEONE IS SIXTY YEARS OLD...........and that
..........................................................person thinks he/she knows it all about..."FOOD"?.
...................................................7...WHY DOES THAT PERSON THINK HE/SHE KNOWS ALL "ABOUT FOOD?.
...........................................................simple answer: ..."THAT PERSON HAS BEEN EATING FOOD, BUYING .................................................. FOOD & LEARNING ABOUT FOOD FOR AT LEAST 56 YEARS...THAT IS WHY.

WHY UNDER EAT?.. That feeling of being skinny or underweight feels good at first. (just like overeating)
and people get addicted to that feeling (that felt good at first, and can't stop under eating )

How did I get the above knowledge?.....I have studied overeating for over 40 years, and have gone to, and lead meetings of
Overeaters Anonymous for over 35 years. When you listen to other people for a very long time, you get knowledge and
expertise from others. (and I have also read a lot of books on the subject.)
