‘Schindler’s List’ Actress Who Played Film’s “Little Girl In The Red Coat” Helping Ukrainian Refugees

Oliwia Dabrowska, the the little girl in the red coat walking through the Krakow Ghetto in Schindler’s List is helping refugees fleeing Ukraine after the Russian invasion.

“Almost 30 years after the film was released, and decades since the horrors of the Holocaust, Oliwia is now echoing the actions of the film’s hero, Oskar Schindler, as she helps people escape from the devastation in Ukraine,” writes Rachel O’Connor in the UK’s Metro.

In March, she “shared an artist’s rendering of her iconic scene in the film with her coat color changed from red to blue to represent Ukraine’s blue and yellow flag, which she also shared as part of the post” on Instagram, reports Deadline’s Tom Tapp.

“She was always the symbol of hope,” wrote Dabrowska. “Let her be it again.”
