Shown uncut and without commercials
NBC aired the film without commercial breaks, but not completely uncut: contemporary reports said Spielberg approved minor trims for television.
Full reasoning
This wording is inaccurate because the 1997 NBC broadcast was commercial-free, but it was not fully uncut.
Contemporary coverage before the broadcast reported that NBC would show a slightly edited / slightly trimmed version:
- The Los Angeles Times reported that Spielberg "cooperated to an enormous degree with the editing for television" and that the cuts were "minimal," while noting that the network would not say exactly what had been removed.
- An Associated Press report carried by The Spokesman-Review said NBC would air a "slightly trimmed version" and quoted Spielberg spokesman Marvin Levy saying the trims would be minor, including some nudity.
So the accurate description is that the broadcast was without commercials and virtually unedited / only slightly edited, not strictly "uncut."

Spielberg ... has 'cooperated to an enormous degree' with the editing for television ... Though the network will not say what has been cut, Agoglia insisted it was minimal.

On Sunday, Steven Spielberg attempts to squeeze a slightly trimmed version of 'Schindler's List' into a new kind of box - network television ... 'the trims will be minor' ... 'Nudity will be one of the areas to be trimmed.'
the city bought Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory in 2007
Kraków acquired the former factory in 2005, not 2007. In 2007, the city approved how the site would be divided and used for museum purposes.
Full reasoning
Official Kraków museum and city sources place the property's acquisition two years earlier than stated here.
- The Museum of Krakow's history page says: "In 2005, the former plant premises became the property of the city of Kraków." It then explains that in 2007 the concept of dividing the site between two cultural institutions was accepted.
- The City of Kraków's official site likewise states: "W 2005 roku miasto wykupiło budynek..." ("In 2005, the city bought the building...").
So 2007 was an important planning year for the museum project, but it was not the year the city bought the factory.
