While commending Spielberg for bringing the story to a wide audience, he found the film's final scene at the graveyard neglected the terrible after-effects of the experience on the survivors and implied that they came through emotionally unscathed.{{sfn|Kertész|2001}} Rabbi [[Uri D. Herscher]] found the film an "appealing" and "uplifting" demonstration of humanitarianism.{{sfn|McBride|1997|p=440}} Norbert Friedman noted that, like many Holocaust survivors, he reacted with a feeling of solidarity towards Spielberg of a sort normally reserved for other survivors.{{sfn|Mintz|2001|p=136}} [[Albert L. Lewis]], Spielberg's childhood rabbi and teacher, described the film as "Steven's gift to his mother, to his people, and in a sense to himself. Now he is a full human being."{{sfn|McBride|1997|p=440}}
