Spielberg is one of the most commercially successful and influential filmmakers in history, directing Jaws, E.T., Jurassic Park and the Holocaust drama Schindler's List, and co-founding DreamWorks SKG in 1994. He was born into an Ashkenazi Jewish family and has often drawn on that heritage, most directly in Schindler's List and through his Shoah Foundation, which records survivor testimony.
