This street divides the ghetto just about in half.
Right side, Ghetto A: civil employees,
industrial workers and so on.
Left side, Ghetto B: surplus labor,
the elderly and infirm mostly.
Which is where you'll want to start, huh ?
Do you have any questions, sir?
Ja, why is the top down ? I'm fucking freezing.
[ Wilhelm Kunde ] We expect a labor force of 25,000 to 30,000.
Segregated, of course. The men in the barracks near the quarry.
The women on the other side of the wire.
[ Goeth ] My place is where ? There, sir.
There ? You call that a villa ? Yes, the villa.
Their synagogue, can you see it ? That's not a villa.
We're planning to turn it into the camp stables. It's a house.
[ Goeth ] What's that over there ?
[ Kunde ] Kindergarten. Fifty-one.
And we have a dentist, shoemaker, practical physicians.
[ Guard ] There they are, sir.
[ Goeth Sniffs ] Hmm.
One of you is, uh, a very lucky girl.
There is an opening for a job,
away from all this... backbreaking work,
at my new villa. [ Sniffs ]
Uh, which of you has...
domestic experience ?
Ja, on second thought, I don't really want someone else's maid.
All those annoying habits I have to undo.
[ Chuckles ] I don't want to give you my cold.
Uh, what's your name ?
Helen Hirsch. What ?
[ Coughing ] Helen Hirsch.
What ? I can't hear. Helen Hirsch.
Ja. { Woman ] Take it all down.!
{ Officer Blows Whistle ] To work.!
{ Woman Arguing ] Take it down.! It is not safe.!
She says the foundation was poured wrong. She's got to take it down.
I told her it's the barracks, not the fucking Hotel Europa.
Fucking Jew bitch engineer. You fucking bitch !
Herr Kommandant. The entire foundation...
has to be torn down and repoured.
If not, there will be at least a subsidence...
at the southern end of the barracks.
Subsidence, and then collapse.
And you are an engineer ? Yes.
My name is Diana Reiter. I'm a graduate...
of Civil Engineering from the University of Milan.
Ah, an educated Jew, like Karl Marx himself.
Unterscharfuehrer.! Jawohl?
Shoot her. What ?
[ Gasps ] Herr Kommandant, I'm only trying to do my job.
Ja, I'm doing mine.
But, sir, she's foreman of construction.
We are not going to have arguments with these people.
Okay.
No. Shoot her here, on my authority.
It will take more than that.
{ Goeth ] I'm sure you're right.
Take it down, repour it, rebuild it. Like she said.
We have more to see, but we have only one more hour of light.
## [ Humming ]
{ Goeth ] Today is history.
Today will be remembered.
Years from now, the young will ask with wonder...
about this day.
Today is history, and you are part of it.
Six hundred years ago...
## [ Singing Morning Prayer]
when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Kazimierz the Great, so-called,
##Ke laolam chasedo ## told theJews they could come to Krakow.
Chaja, bread. { Goeth Continues ] They came.
Not that fat. No, less. They trundled their belongings into the city.
Yes, a bit less. They settled.
They took hold. They prospered...
in business, science, education, the arts.
They came here with nothing.
####{ Praying Continues ] Nothing.
And they flourished.
For six centuries there has been a Jewish Krakow.
Think about that.
By this evening,
those six centuries are a rumor.
They never happened.
Today is history.

[ Grunting ]
{ Man ] The SS will manage...
certain industries itself inside Plaszow--
a metalworks, brush factory,
another for reprocessing Jewish clothing...
from the ghettos for use by bombed-out families back home.
But it's private industry like yours that stands to benefit most...
by moving inside the wire of Commandant Amon Goeth's camp--
No, no, no. Sit, sit. Julian, how are you ?
How are you ? Good to see you, my friend.
Oskar Schindler. LeoJohn.
[ Whispers, Chuckles ]
Franz, good to see you. Hello, Oskar. Glad you could join us.
My pleasure. Julius. How are you ? You lost weight.
Only in the shoulders. Please, everybody, sit down.
How are you doing ? Oskar Schindler.
We started without you. Fine. I miss anything good ?
I was explaining to Herr Bosch and Herr Madritsch...
some of the benefits of moving their factories into Plaszow.
I meant the food. [ Chuckles ]
Since your labor is housed on-site, it's available to you at all times.
You can work them all night if you want.
Your factory policies, whatever they've been in the past, they'll continue to be.
They'll be respected.
I have to know, where do you get a suit like that ? What is that ? Is that silk ?
Of course.
Ja. It's-- It has a nice sheen about it.
Thank you. Very nice.
I'd say I'd get you one, but the man who made it is probably dead.
I don't know.
{ Schindler's Voice ] I go to work the other day.
Nobody's there.
Nobody tells me about this. I have to fid out. I have to go in.
Everybody's gone.
No. [ Sighs ]
No.
They're not gone. They're here.
They're mine ! Every day that goes by, I'm losing money.
Every worker that is shot costs me money. I have to find somebody else.
We are going to be making so much money that none of this is going to matter.
It's bad business.
[ Sniffs ]
Thank you.
Leave the bottle.
Take that.
Lena... thank you.
Scherner told me something else about you.
Yeah ? What's that ?
That you know the meaning of the word ''gratitude.''
That it's not some vague thing with you...
like it is with others.
You want to stay where you are.
You've got things going on the side.
Things are good.
You don't want anybody telling you what to do.
I can understand all that, you know. I-- I know you.
What you want... is your own sub-camp.
Do you have any idea what is involved ? The paperwork alone ?
You've got to build the thing. Getting those fucking permits is enough to drive you crazy.
Then the engineers show up, they stand around, they argue about drainage, foundations,
codes, exact specifications, fences four kilometers long, 1 ,200 kilograms of barbed wire,
[ Chuckling ] 6,000 kilograms of electrified fences, ceramic insulators,
three cubic meters of air space per prisoner.
I'm telling you, you want to shoot somebody. I've been through it. I know.
Well, you know. You've been through it. [ Spits ]
You could make things easier for me.
I'd be grateful.

Don't forget to send something.
Record payoffs to the Main Administration and Economics Office, the Arm--
Slower, Stern, slower. The Armaments Board, Governor General's Division...
of the Interior and Chief of Police as ''fees,''
and make them on the first of each month,
as opposed to individual payoffs to our SS contacts.
The list is in the lower drawer of my desk, which you-- ''First of month--''
SS contacts: list, lower drawer of my desk, which you handle...
as cash contributions to legitimate charities sent to each official's office.
Dealings with our black market contacts, listed as suppliers...
in the legitimate ledger, are more complicated. Forget it.

Oh, that's very good.
But I'm a bit confused, and perhaps you can help me.

since I think, what, about six this morning ?
Yet such a small pile of hinges.
{ Train Whistle Blows ]
[ Gun Clicks ]
Oh, Christ. May I try that, sir ?
Check the angle-lever. Maybe it's bent.
No, no. You wouldn't hear a click if it was the angle-lever.
Maybe it's the pin. Maybe the pin shaft is greasy. Ja, come on.
What did I just say ? Here.
[ Gun Clicks ] Herr Kommandant,
I beg to report that my heap ofhinges was so unsatisfactory...
because the machines were being recalibrated this morning.
[ Gun Clicks ] I w-was put on to shoveling coal.

He was making hinges slowly.
So the man can turn out a hinge in less than a minute. Why the long story ? Hmm ?
{ Machines Rumbling ]
Thank you, sir. You're welcome.
Nobody knows who stole the chicken, hmm ? Tell him about the chicken.
A man walks around with a chicken and nobody notices this.
Save yourselves.
Tell him about the chicken.
Still nobody knows.
[ Sobbing ]
It was you. You committed this crime.
No, sir. But you know who, though.
Yes. Who ?
[ Sobbing ] Him !
He's very gifted. Yeah, sure. Bring him over.
Yes, sir. Thank you.
Thank you again, Herr Direktor. You're welcome again.
It's an honor to work for such a great company. It's great to have you.
I promise to learn everything about enamelware production. That's great.
Hello ? Miss Elsa Krause is here. I only need five minutes.
She wants to speak to the Herr Direktor.
{ Typewriter Keys Clicking ]
Yes.
He won't see you.
Please, sit down.
Pernod ? Cognac ? Uh, no. No, thank you.
So, what can I do for you ?
[ Nervous Chuckle ] They say that no one dies here.
They say your factory is a haven.
They say you are good.
Who says that ?
Everyone.
My name is Regina Perlman, not Elsa Krause.
I've been living in Krakow on false papers since the ghetto massacre.
My parents are in Plaszow.
Their names are Chana and Jakob Perlman.
They are older people. They are killing older people now in Plaszow.
They bury them up in the forest. Look...
[ Sighs ] I don't have any money.
I, I borrowed these clothes.
I'm begging you.
Please, please bring them here.
I don't do that.
You've been misled. I ask one thing:
whether or not a worker has certain skills.
My father is an importer, not a metalworker.
[ Continues Arguing ] Such activities are illegal. You will not entrap me !
Cry, and I will have you arrested. I swear to God !
[ Mutters, Sobbing ]
People die. It's a fact of life.
He wants to kill everybody ? Great ! What am I supposed to do about it ?
Bring everybody over ? Is that what you think ?
Send them over to Schindler. Send them all !
His place is a haven, didn't you know ? It's not a factory.
It's not an enterprise of any kind.
It's a haven for rabbis and orphans...
and people with no skills whatsoever !
[ Sighs ] You think I don't know what you're doing ?
You're so quiet all the time. I know, I know !
Are you losing money ? That's not the point !
What other point is-- It's dangerous ! It's dangerous to me !
You have to understand. Goeth is under enormous pressure.
You have to think of it in his situation.
He's got this whole place to run.
He's responsible for everything here, all these people.
He's got a lot of things to worry about.
And he's got the war which brings out the worst in people.
Never the good, always the bad. Always the bad.
But in normal circumstances he wouldn't be like this. He'd be all right.
There'd just be the good aspects of him which--
[ Chuckles ] He's a wonderful crook.
A man who loves good food, good wine, the ladies, making money--
Killing.
He can't enjoy it.
Bejski told me the other day, somebody escaped...
from a work detail outside the wire.
[ Gunshots ] Goeth lined up everybody from the missing man's barracks.
He shot the man to the left of Bejski, the man to the right ofhim.
He walked down the line shooting every other man with the pistol.
Twenty-five.
What do you want me to do about it ? Nothing, nothing.
We're just talking.
''Perlman.''

Husband and wife.
