Unwilling star: Oliwia Dabrowska, aged three, plays the iconic 'girl in the red coat' in 1993 Oscar winning Schindler's List
   
A little girl in a red coat becomes the catalyst which saves the lives of more than 1,000 Jews destined for the concentration camps in Steven Spielberg’s celebrated film Schindler's List.

But for the now 24-year-old woman who played the role in 1993, the iconic appearance left her traumatised for years.

Oliwia Dabrowska was three years old when she starred as the girl in the red coat â€" the only flash of colour in the otherwise black-and-white film.
