This isn't for homework or anything. This is out of curiousity. Do you have an idea of what the significance of the girl in the red dress in the film "Schindler's List?"
It just popped up in my head today.

The little girl appears three times in the film: once at the beginning of the film, bringing her belongings into the ghetto with her family, once during the liquidation of the ghetto, and once during the disinternment and burning of the Jews killed at Plaszow. Schindler noticed her during the liquidation scene and was horrified by the way the Germans completely ignored her and callously murdered and destroyed other human lives without any regard for this innocent child. It was one of the turning points in his life; after that he began to realize he could no longer turn a blind eye to the monstrous evils of the Nazi party, and began to take a more active role in protecting and rescuing Jews

Maybe these will help you. The other answers are right I imagine. It is a bit like the little girl with the cat in Life Is Beautiful I think, only does not have the symbolism of the red coat in the black and white film.

in accordance to Andy Patrizio of IGN, the female contained in the purple coat is used to point that Schindler has replaced: "Spielberg placed a twist on her tale, turning her into one greater pile on the cart of corpses to be incinerated. The look on Schindler's face is unmistakable. minutes in the previous, he observed the ash and soot of burning corpses piling up on his vehicle as basically an annoyance. ( the littl egirl is unquestionably a actual guy or woman, they have memiors on her)

I think it was to set her apart, so you'd notice her from the beginning of her story to the end. In that last scene, when you saw the red coat in that pile, you knew what happened to her and it personified all the horror. Without one character such as that which you could relate to, it just gets too "big" and a person can't fathom the enormity of the horror. She became the face of the holocaust for the viewer.

It was to set her apart in the eyes of Schindler (and the audience) after he saw her for the very first time and was touched by her and afterwards compelled to save the jews once she died

Look past the movie... there is symbolism in "the red dress" and it is through history. Marylin Monroe as 1 example. Girl at perfume counter in Chevy Chase Christmas Movie. Why it was in Billy Joel's videos at times, and on down the list.

Katiecat is exactly right. It was so you could follow her as an individual instead of just another of the crowd. You saw her over and over, so you saw her experience in the Holocaust as it played out, right up to her death.
