Steven Spielberg is now a Knight in the French Legion of Honour.

There is no They, only Us.

Schindler and Spielberg are heroes of their time

The French people, and their president Jacques Chirac have honoured Mr Spielberg for his commitment to fighting hatred and intolerance through cinematic entertainment, by making him a Knight in the French Legion of Honour.

At a ceremony in the presidential Elysee Palace, Jacques Chirac said, "In this difficult time when intolerance, racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and fanaticism are on the rise again, it is essential that cinema, which touches each one of us deep inside, recalls the horror of what is unutterable."

"It is essential that this form of eminently popular expression and creativity reminds everyone of the disastrous effects of hatred, intolerance and the rejection of others."

Mr Spielberg, who was in France promoting his movie "The Terminal, accepted the honour, while praising France's efforts to fight anti-Semitism.

He said, "We have to work very, very hard to make people understand that we have to celebrate people's differences and not condemn them."
