(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING)

September 1939,
the German forces defeated
the Polish Army in two weeks

Jews were ordered
to register all family members
and relocate to major cities.

More than 10,000 Jews
from the countryside
arrived in Krakow daily.

Name?

Horowitz, Salomon.

Let's get together,

Smile. Good.

Yes, sir.

Bring them over
a round of drinks.

Very good, sir.
And who shall I
say they are from?

You can say
they are from me.

From the gentleman.

Where?

Do you know him?

Find out who he is.

Yes, sir.

Agnieszka,
I would give anything
to hear you sing tonight.

(SIGHS)
But I know you won't.

(LAUGHS)

You embarrass me.

What's he doing?

Stay here.

How are you doing?

You'd leave a woman
alone at the table
in a place like this?

Sweetheart, you're
the picture of loneliness.

Oh.

Mmm, what a lovely fragrance.
You are breaking my heart.

An extra chair, please.
Vodka for my friend.

And for the lady?

Pernod.

Thank you.

I'll tell you what
I mean by cooperative.

Two days after
the law is passed

that all Jews have
to wear the star,

the Jewish tailors are
turning them out by the gross

in a variety of
fabrics at three zloty each.

Tell me about
your cellar wines.

I have an excellent
German Riesling. 1937.
Mmm, French.

A Bordeaux.
Château Latour, '28, '29?
No, I'm sorry.

It's as if they have no idea
what kind of law it is.

As if it's the emblem
of a riding club.

A Margaux, '29?
No, no, we don't have that.

Burgundy then?
A Romanée-Conti, '37?
Yes.

It's human nature.
"We'll do this to avoid that."

That's what they have done
since thousands of years.

It's what they do.
They weather the storm.

But this storm is different.
This is not the Romans.
This storm is the SS.

Ab sofort ist es allen

Meldung an alle Juden.
Ab sofort...

THE JUDENRAT
The Jewish Council
comprised of 24 elected

Jews personally responsible
for carrying out the order of
the regime in Krakow, such as

drawing up lists for work
details, food and housing.
A place to lodge complaints.

Rabbi...

Private property
cannot be confiscated.

How long are the schools
going to be closed?

I do not know.

"Article 47, pillage
is formally prohibited."

You don't know anything!

I am familiar with
the Hague Convention.
Religious...

They come into our house
and tell us we don't
live there anymore.

It now belongs to
a certain SS officer.

Please. I only know
what they tell me.

And what they tell me
changes from day to day.

Aren't you supposed
to be able to help?

I mean, what if I
just took this thing off?

What are they
going to do about it?

They will shoot you.

Why don't you
stop this silly talk?
Itzhak Stern!

I'm looking for Itzhak Stern.

Are you Itzhak Stern or not?

I am.
Where can we talk?

There's a company
you did the books
for on Lipowa Street.

Made what?
Pots and pans?

By law, I have to
tell you, sir, I'm a Jew.

Well, I'm a German.
So there we are.

A good company,
you think?

Modestly successful.

I know nothing about
enamelware. Do you?

I was just
the accountant.

Simple engineering though,
wouldn't you think?

Change the machines around,
whatever you do...

You could make other things,
couldn't you?

Field kits, mess kits.
Army contracts.

Once the war ends,
forget it,
but for now it's great.

You can make a fortune,
don't you think?

I think most people right now
have other priorities.

Like what?
(SIGHS)

I'm sure you'll do just fine
once you get the contracts.

In fact, the worse things get,
the better you'll do.

Well, I can get
the signatures I need.
That's the easy part.

Finding the money
to buy the company,
that's hard.

You don't have any money?

Not that kind of money.
You know anybody?

Jews, yeah. Investors.

You must have contacts in
the Jewish business community,

working here.

What community?
Jews can no
longer own businesses.

That's why this
one's in receivership.

But they wouldn't own it.

I'd own it.
I'd pay them back in product,
pots and pans.

Pots and pans.

Something they can use.

Something they can
feel in their hands.

They can trade it
on the black market,

do whatever they want.
Everybody's happy.

If you want,
you could run
the company for me.

Let me understand.
They'd put up

all the money,
I'd do all the work.

What, if you don't mind
my asking, would you do?

I'd make sure it's known
the company's in business.

I'd see that it had
a certain panache.

That's what I'm
good at, not the work.
Not the work.

The presentation.

I'm sure I don't know anybody
who'll be interested in this.

(EXHALES) Well,
they should be, Itzhak Stern.

Tell them they should be.

I've got a client
who'll sell marks
for zloty at 2.45-to-1.

Wool, mink collar.
It's a nice coat.

She'll trade it
for ration coupons.

Wicks, for lamps.

You have a truckload of wicks?

What am I going to do
with a truckload of wicks?

Nine by 12, nine by 14.

I don't know.
Big, beautiful, Persian.

Psst.

What?

You don't recognize this?
It's shoe polish.

In metal containers?

You asked for shoe polish.

In metal containers.
This is glass.
In metal containers.

It's not what I asked for.

What's the difference?
What's the difference?

What's the difference?
OTHERS: Shh!

My client sold
it to his client,

who sold it to
the German army.

Only by the time it
got there, because

of the freezing cold,
it broke. All 10,000 units.

Mmm, ooh, ooh, ooh.
This is not my problem.

This is not his problem.
This is not your problem?

This is not my problem.

All right.

The German army wants to
find out where it came from.

I am going to make
sure they find out.

Now it's your problem.

You, be quiet!
(CHUCKLES)

Metal containers.

Hello.

Pardon me for interfering,
but that's a nice shirt.

Nice shirt.

Do you know where
I can find a nice
shirt like that?

PRIEST: ...laudare,
benedicere et predicare.

Like this?

It's illegal to buy or sell
anything on the street.

We don't do that.
We're here to pray.

PRIEST: Jesum Christum
Dominum Nostrum...

Do you have any idea
how much a shirt
like this costs?

Nice things cost money.

PRIEST: ...adorant
Dominationes,
tremunt Potestates.

Coeli coelorumque

How many?

I'm going to need
some other things, too,
as things come up.

This won't be a problem.

From time to time.

Hey, Goldberg.
Poldek.

What's this?

The Judenrat has
its own police now.

You don't say.

Ordnungsdienst.

I'm a policeman now,
could you believe it?
It's hard to believe.

No, it's not hard to believe.

It's a good racket, Poldek.
The only racket here.

Look, maybe I could put in
a good word for you
with my superiors.

Your superiors?

Come on, they are not as bad
as everyone says.

Well, they're worse
than everyone says,

but it's a lot of money.
A lot of money.

Give me my housing assignment.

Come on.

You look funny in
that hat, Goldberg.

(LAUGHS)

You look like a clown,
you know.

STERN: He's a very important
man. Just give him two
minutes of your time.

Since when did
time cost money?
Just sit down and listen.

Please. Sir?

For each 1,000 you invest,
I will repay you with...

Two hundred.

Two hundred kilos of
enamelware a month,

to begin in July and to
continue for one year.

After which time, we're even.
That's it. It's very simple.

Not good enough.

It's not good enough.

Not good enough?

Look where you're living.
Look where you've been put.
"Not good enough."

A couple of months
ago you'd be right.
Not anymore.

Money's still money.

No, it is not.
That's why we're here.

Trade goods,
that's the only currency

that'll be worth
anything in the ghetto.

Things have changed,
my friend.

Did I call this meeting?

You told Mr. Stern
you wanted to speak to me.

I'm here.
I've made you a fair offer.

Fair would be
a percentage in the company.

(LAUGHING)
Forget the whole thing.
Get out.

How do we know
that you will do what you say?

Because I said I would.

You want a contract?
To be upheld by what court?

I said what I'll do.
That's our contract.

...mielismy racje.

Piec, szesc, siedem,

osiem, dziewiec.

(MACHINERY BUZZES)

(SCHINDLER CLAPPING)

The standard SS rate
for Jewish skilled
laborers is seven marks a day,

five for unskilled and women.

This is what you pay
the Reich Economic Office.

The Jews themselves
receive nothing.

Poles you pay wages.
Generally, they get
a little more.

Are you listening?

What was that about the SS?

The rate? The what?

The Jewish worker's salary.
You pay it

directly to the SS,
not to the worker.

He gets nothing.
But it's less.

It's less than what
I would pay a Pole.

It's less.

That's the point
I'm trying to make.
Poles cost more.

(SNIFFS)

Why should I hire Poles?

An enamelware factory
over at Lipowa Street.

It's owned by a German.

But it's outside the ghetto,
so you can barter
for extra goods,

for eggs,
I don't know what you need,

with the Polish workers.
You can't get it here.

Also, he's asking for
10 healthy women for the...

I am healthy.

(CROWD LAUGHING)

Bring your sister, okay?

(SHOUTING ORDERS
IN GERMAN AND POLISH)

Chodz.

You need to convince
them you have a trade,

something valuable
to the war effort.

Like what?
What if you don't?

I'm a musician.

Your name goes on a list.

And they put you on trucks...

No, no, that's not true.
You're a musician?

Yeah.

I'd find a good
hiding place if I were you.

I'm not going to
hide like some animal.

There are places to hide.

(WHISTLE BLOWING)

Der Nächste!

I'm a graduate of
the University of Lviv.

I used to work
at the hydroelectric

MAN: Blauschein.

I'm gonna get
the necessary papers

because this card
is no good anymore.

You can stay in
this line all day,
you'll still get one of these.

They are no good.
You'll have to
leave the line now,

then you'll get
a blue card, a Blauschein,

to say that you are
an essential worker.

I'll get these papers
for you at Pankiewicz.

Pharmacist. Just there, look.

Guess who is here?

GOLDBERG: Poldek!
Enjoying the weather, Poldek?

Enjoying the lines?

Need some shoe polish?

In a metal container maybe?
(GOLDBERG LAUGHS)

Not essential?
I think you misunderstand
the meaning of the word.

No Blauschein, sir.
Stand over there.
Move. Next!

What do you mean,
"Not essential"?

I teach history
and literature.
Since when it's not essential?

He's a metal polisher.

It was not right?

It's very good.
He's 53 years old.

It's too new.

Mmm. Thank you.

You're crazy.
You left it in your drawer.

How many times
have I told you?

Your work certificate
you keep in your
pocket at all times.

And you leave
yours in your drawer.
How many times I've told you?

I'm a metal polisher.

Take the round sheet of tin,
dip it in soap emulsion,

then place it
centrally in the press.

We obtain the soup pot.
The soup pot.

Soup pot.

Grosz, Mrs. Grosz,
stay together.

Sir,
I have 10 work permits here

for the Deutsche

cosigned by Mr. Bankier
and myself.

FOREMAN: If it's carbonized,
clean it with a file.

But don't touch
both the electrodes
at the same time.

You'll get electrocuted.
Here, have a try.

Roll the metal
under the press,

but be very careful
unless you want your fingers

to become part of the teapot.

Occupation?

I'm a writer.
I play the flute.

But Moses is
a skilled metalworker.

He can make tin pots.
He can make tanks.

He can make whatever
Mr. Schindler asks.

He's highly skilled.
Give him your card.
Moses, give him your card.

FOREMAN: Now,
dip the basin with the tongs
into the enamel solution.

And after swiveling it around,
carefully place it
aside to drip dry.

And whatever he
asks you, allow me

just to represent
you and speak for you.

Don't say a word.

Boxed teas are good.
Coffee, pâté,

kielbasa sausage,

Yes.
And, of course,

who could live
without German cigarettes?

Get me as many
as you can find.

And some more fresh fruit.

The real rarities,
oranges, lemons, pineapples.

I need several boxes
of Cuban cigars. The best.

Yes.
And dark,
unsweetened chocolate.

Not in the shape
of ladyfingers,
the chunk chocolate.

Yes.

We're going to

Dom Pérignon champagne.
Get L'Espadon sardines,

SCHINDLER: It is my distinct
pleasure to announce

the fully operational status

FOREMAN:

Utilizing only

Anticipating the enclosed bids

and looking forward
to a long and mutually

I extend to you in advance
my sincerest gratitude

and very best regards.
Oskar Schindler.

Yeah, I need 700 gross
from here for next Thursday.

Nine hundred,
no, make it 10 for Wednesday.

All this stuff here
goes to Madritsch's

factory on
Tuesday of next week.

(HORN HONKING)

SCHINDLER: My father was fond
of saying, "You need three
things in life,

"a good doctor,
a forgiving priest,
and a clever accountant."

The first two,
I've never had much use for.

But the third...

Just pretend,
for Christ's sake.

Is that all?

I'm trying to thank you.
I'm saying

I couldn't have
done this without you.

The usual thing would be
to acknowledge my gratitude.

It would also, by the way,
be the courteous thing.

You're welcome.

(SIGHS)

Get out of here.

(DOOR BUZZES)

SCHINDLER:
Klonowska, who is it?

She's so embarrassed.
Look at her.

You know something?
You would like her.

Oskar, please.
What?

I don't have to like
her just because you do.
You would, though.

It doesn't work that way.

(DOOR CLOSES)

You've done well here.

You look wonderful.

Be careful of the step, miss.

Mrs. Schindler, Marek.

(GLOOMY SUNDAY PLAYING)

It's not a charade, all this?

How could it be a charade?

The clothes,
the car, the apartment.

Wait a minute.

Take a guess
how many people
are on my payroll.

Oskar.

My father,
at the height of his success,
had 50. I've got 350.

Three hundred
and fifty workers

on the factory floor,
with one purpose.

To make pots and pans?

To make money. For me.

(SIGHS)

Does anyone ask about me?

Back home? Everybody.

All the time.

Hmm.

They won't soon
forget the name Schindler
here, I can tell you that.

"Oskar Schindler,"
they'll say.

"Everybody remembers him.

"He did something
extraordinary.

"He did something
no one else did.

"He came here
with nothing,

"a suitcase,

"and built a bankrupt company
into a major manufactory.

"And left with
a steamer trunk.

"Two steamer
trunks full of money.

"All the riches
of the world."

Hmm.

It's comforting to see
that nothing's changed.

You're wrong, Emilie.

There's no way
I could have
known this before,

but there was
always something missing.

In every business I tried,
I can see now,
it wasn't me that failed.

Something was missing.

Even if I'd known what it was,
there's nothing I
could have done about it,

because you can't
create this thing.

And it makes all
the difference in the world
between success and failure.

Luck?

War.

(BALLROOM DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

Should I stay?

It's a beautiful city.

I asked you if I should stay.

It's up to you.

Promise me, Oskar, no doorman
or maître d' will ever presume

I'm anyone other
than Mrs. Schindler,
and I'll stay.

Goodbye, darling.

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

I could try to read this,
or I could eat my lunch
while it's still hot.

We're doing well?

Yes.
Better this month than last?

Yes.

Any reason to think
next month will be worse?

The war could end.

What?

There is a machinist outside

who'd like to
thank you personally
for giving him a job.

Every day he comes.
He's very grateful.
It'll just take a minute.

Mr. Lowenstein?

I want to thank you, sir,
for giving me
the opportunity to work.

You're welcome.
I'm sure you're
doing a great job.

The SS beat me up.
They would have killed me,

but I am essential
to the war effort,
thanks to you.

That's great.

I work hard for you.

I'm sure you do.

I'll continue to
work hard for you.

That's great. Thanks.

God bless you, sir.

All right.

You are a good man.

He saved my life.

Yes, he did.

God bless him.

Yeah. Come on.

God bless you.

STERN: I'm sorry,
Herr Direktor, but
you're running very late.

This is for
the Obersturmbannführer, sir.

And this is for
his niece, Greta.
It's her birthday.

Greta as in Garbo.

By the way, don't
ever do that to me again.

Go, go, drive!
Don't bow.

Did you happen to notice that
that man had one arm?

Did he?

What's his use?

Very useful.

How?

Very useful! Success!

CZURDA: You shouldn't
think of them as yours, Oskar.

You need to understand that
some of the officers here

don't give a damn
about production.

To them, it's
a matter of national priority

that Jews be
made to shovel snow.

It's got nothing to
do with reality, Oskar.
You know it and I know it.

Jews shoveling snow,
it's got a ritual
significance.

Come with me.

I am an essential worker.

Essential worker?
(LAUGHS)

Yes.

(OFFICER LAUGHING)

I work for Oskar Schindler.

Essential worker
for Oskar Schindler.

A one-armed Jew?
Twice as useless!

Yes, yes.

I lost a day
of production, Rolf.

LOWENSTEIN:
I work for Oskar Schindler.

Danka, look at the snow.
Look at the snow.
Look at the snow!

(GUNSHOT)

I lost a worker.
I expect to be compensated.

File a grievance with
the Economic Office.
It's your right.

Would it do any good?

Of course not.

A big shot from the SS Budget

Office came to lunch,

and he told us that to believe
the Jewish skilled

He was a metal press operator.

Quite skilled.

He is?

Well, let's find him.

I'm sorry.
You can't have him.

He's on the list.
If he were an essential worker
he would not be on the list.

I'm talking to a clerk.
What is your name?

Sir, the list is correct.

I didn't ask you
about the list.

I asked you your name.

Klaus Tauber.

Tauber.

My plant manager is

Yes, sir. Itzhak Stern.

"JEWISH TOWN"
KRAKOW GHETTO WINTER '42

I woke up from
a dream this morning.

I was broke and sharing a room
with 12 people I didn't know,

only to discover I
was broke and sharing

a room with 12
people I didn't know.

(CHUCKLING)
You laugh about it?

I have to laugh.

You are living behind walls.

The walls I can deal with.
It's the restrictions
to my life I'm tired of.

Those walls keep them out.
That's all I care about.

I like it here. There's
a kind of, I don't know,

ancestral squalor to it all.

You are a slave
to these people.
No one envies us anymore.

I'm smart.

Oh, yes, you're smart.

You're a real genius.

You had your chance.

Today,
today I actually found time
to organize a thought.

I can't remember
the last time I did that.

When's the last
time we did this?

When's the last time
we stood around and talked?

No one ordered me
onto a truck today.

No one took my
business away from me.

You don't really
have a business to take.

There's nowhere
down from here.

This is it.
This is the bottom.

The ghetto is liberty.

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
will want to start.

Do you have
any questions, sir?

UNTERSTURMFÜHRER AMON GOETH

Ja, why is the top down?
I'm fucking freezing.

KUNDE: We expect a labor
force of 25,000 to 30,000.

PLASZOW FORCED LABOR CAMP
UNDER CONSTRUCTION

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?
Yes, the villa.

You call that a 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.

There they are, sir.

(SNIFFS) Hmm.

One of you is
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.

What's your name?

Helen Hirsch.
What?

Helen Hirsch.
(COUGHING)

What? I can't hear.

Helen Hirsch.

Ja.

WOMAN: Take it all down!

(OFFICER BLOWS WHISTLE)
OFFICER: To work!

WOMAN: 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 re-poured.

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.

An educated Jew,
like Karl Marx himself.

Unterscharführer!
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,
re-pour 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...

Ke laolam chasedo

...so-called,
told the Jews they
could come to Krakow.

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.

Please bring them here.

I don't do that.

You've been misled.
I ask one thing.

Whether or not

So the 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.

Goeth lined up everybody
from the missing
man's barracks.

He shot the man to
the left of Bejski,
the man to the right of him.

He walked down
the line shooting
every other man with a pistol.

Twenty-five.

What do you want
me to do about it?

Nothing, nothing.

We're just talking.

"Perlman."

Perlman!

Husband and wife.

Jakob and Chana Perlman!

Have Goldberg bring them over.

SOLDIER: Mützen ab!

Appell abtreten!

(GUESTS SINGING DRUNKENLY
IN GERMAN)

I'm sure this will be better
than those rags, Lisiek.

Herr Direktor,
I was just helping Lisiek
to find something

to clean the stains
from the Herr
Kommandant's bathtub.

Go clean it.

Pardon me, Herr Direktor.

(SCHINDLER CHUCKLES)

You don't have to
report to me, Helen.

You know who I am? Hmm?

(WHISPERING)
I'm Schindler.

Of course.
I have heard, and

you have been here before.

Here, why don't you
keep this someplace?

Go on, take it.

I get extra food here.

Well, if you don't
want to eat it, trade it.
Or give it to Lisiek.

Why not build yourself up?

My first day here,
he beat me

because I threw out
the bones from dinner.

He came down to the basement
at midnight, and he...

He asked me where they were.

For his dogs,
you understand.

I said to him,
I don't know how I say this.

I never could say it now,
I said to him,

"Why are you beating me?"

He said, "The reason
I beat you now

"is because you
ask why I beat you."

I know your
sufferings, Helen.

It doesn't matter.

I have accepted them.

Accepted them?

One day he will shoot me.

No, no, no,
he won't shoot you.

I know. I see things.

We were on the roof on Monday,
young Lisiek and I,

and we saw the Herr Kommandant
come out of the front door

and down
the steps by the patio,
right there below us,

and there on the steps
he drew his gun and he

shot a woman who
was passing by.

A woman carrying a bundle.
Through the throat.

Just a woman
on her way somewhere,
you know?

She was no fatter or thinner

or slower or faster
than anyone else,

and I couldn't
guess what had she done.

The more you see of
the Herr Kommandant,

the more you see there is
no set rules that
you can live by.

You can't say to yourself,
"If I follow these rules,
I will be safe."

He won't shoot you
because he
enjoys you too much.

He enjoys you so much
he won't even let
you wear the star.

He doesn't want
anyone else to know

it's a Jew he's enjoying.

He shot the woman
from the steps

because she meant
nothing to him.

She was one of a series,

neither offending
or pleasing him.

But you, Helen.

It's all right.
It's not that
kind of a kiss.

(SOBBING)

Thank you.

Shh.

Here.

Right. The wine.

Wonderful party, Amon.
Thank you.

(GROANS)

Why do you drink
that motor oil?

Hmm? I send you good
stuff all the time.

Your liver's going to explode
like a hand grenade.

You know, I look at you.
(SNIFFS)

I watch you.

(SIGHS)

You're never drunk.

(SNIFFS) Oh, that's...

That's real control.

Control is power.

That's power.

SCHINDLER:
Is that why they fear us?

We have
the fucking power to kill,
that's why they fear us.

They fear us because
we have the power
to kill arbitrarily.

A man commits a crime,
he should know better.

We have him killed,
and we feel
pretty good about it.

Or we kill him ourselves
and we feel even better.

That's not power, though.

That's justice.
It's different than power.

Power is when we have
every justification to kill,

and we don't.

You think that's power?

That's what the emperors had.
A man stole something,

he's brought in
before the emperor,

he throws himself
down on the ground,
he begs for mercy.

He knows he's going to die.

And the emperor pardons him.

This worthless man.
He lets him go.

I think you are drunk.

That's power, Amon.

That is power.

Amon the Good.

I pardon you. (LAUGHS)

GOETH: What do they want?

STERN: I don't know, but
they're in my office now
reviewing our books.

As my accountant,
tell me, should I be
alarmed that the auditors

are reviewing my books?
Well...

Or have you done
your job properly?

You needn't be alarmed.

I needn't be alarmed.

(SHOUTS ANGRILY)

(GASPS) I'm sorry, sir.

this saddle is worth?

Do you know how

I came to tell you

that you really

I mean it. If you need
a reference after the war,

I'd be happy to give you one.

It must get lonely down here

when you're listening

Does it?

You can answer.

But what's the right answer?
That's what you're thinking.

What does he want to hear?

The truth, Helen,
is always the right answer.

Yes, you're right.

Sometimes we're both lonely.

Yes. I...

(SIGHS)

I mean,

I would like so much to

reach out and touch
you in your loneliness.

What would that be like,
I wonder? I mean...

What would be wrong with that?

No, maybe you're

maybe what's wrong isn't...

It's not us.

It's... No, it's this.

vermin, and to rodents,

No, you make a good point.

You make a very good point.

To ostatnia niedziela

Dzisiaj sie rozstaniemy

The trains arrived and
the people were
driven out with clubs.

They were lined up in front
of two big warehouses.

One was marked "Cloak Room,"
and the other "Valuables."

And there they
were made to undress.

A Jewish boy handed
them pieces of string
to tie their shoes together.

They shaved their hair.

They told them
it was needed to

make something
special for U-boat crews.

And then they were herded
down a big corridor

to bunkers with Stars
of David on the doors

and signs that said
"Bath and Inhalation Room."

SS gave them soap.

They told them to
breathe all the time

because it's good
for disinfecting.

And then they gassed them.

Mila, why soaps?

So that they would
agree to go in, I think.

Come on, Mila, stop it.
Your bedtime stories
are scaring everyone.

Yeah. You know
it's ridiculous.

I cannot believe it.

I didn't say I believed it.
I said I heard it.

From who?

From somebody who heard it
from someone who was there.

You know,
if they were there,

they would
have been gassed.

Yes.

It doesn't
make any sense.

We're their workforce.

What sense does it make
to kill your own workforce?

To go to all this trouble
of assembling
a workforce only to...

No, it can't be true.

We are very,
very important for them.

I mean, he is married,
ja, but he's...

All right, no. She was Jewish.
He shouldn't have done it.

But you didn't see this girl.

I saw this girl.
This girl was, woof...

She was very good-looking.

They cast a spell on you,
you know, the Jews.

They have this power.
It's like a virus.

Some of my men are

No, please. It's a gratuity.

Hello, Amon.

Sit down.

They're closing

us down, sending
everybody to Auschwitz.

When?

I don't know. As soon as
I can arrange the shipments.

Maybe 30,40 days.
That ought to be fun.

I've been talking to Goeth.

I know the destination.

These are
the evacuation orders.

I'm to help
organize the shipments,
put myself on the last train.

That's not what I
was going to say.

I made Goeth promise me
he'll put in
a good word for you.

Nothing bad is going
to happen to you there.

You'll receive
special treatment.

The directives
coming in from Berlin

mention "special treatment"
more and more often.

I'd like to think
that's not what you mean.

Preferential treatment,
all right?

Do we have to invent
a whole new language?

I think so.

You're staying, I take it.

In Krakow? What on Earth for?

What for? You have
a business to run.

Of course, you'll
have to hire new workers.
Poles, I guess.

They cost
a little more, but...

What are you going to do?

You ran my business.

No, I'm going home.

I've done what
I came here for.

I've got more money
than any man can
spend in a lifetime.

Some day, this is all

I was going to say
we'll have a drink then.

I think I better have it now.

I'm familiar with them.
I don't have to train them.

You're not

It's good for you.

It's good for the army.

If I'm making 100,
you've got to be making 300.

And if you admit to 300,
then it's 400, actually.
But how?

I just told you.

You did, but you didn't.

Ja, all right,
don't tell me.

I'll go along with it.
It's just irritating
I can't work it out.

We could relocate them
in something like safety,

I don't know.

How many cigarettes
have you smoked tonight?

Too many.

For every one... (COUGHS)
you smoke, I smoke half.

I've done all I can.
I will not accept that.

No, Oskar,
I can't do any more.

I will not accept that.

No.

How many? How many?

850, give or take.

Give or take what, Stern?
Count them. How many?

That's it.
You can finish that page.

What did Goeth
say about this?

You just told him
how many people
you needed and...

You're not buying them.

You're buying them?
You're paying him
for each of these names?

If you were
still working for me,

I'd expect you to
talk me out of it.

It's costing me a fortune.

Finish the page

You...

The list is

The list is life.

All around its
margins lies the gulf.

Oskar,
there's a clerical error here

at the bottom
of the last page.

No, there's one more name
I want to put there.

I'll never find a maid
as well trained as her
at Brinnlitz.

They are all country girls.

No.

No.

One hand of 21.

No.

If you win,
I pay you 7,400 reichsmarks.
No.

Hit a natural,
I make it 14,800.
No.

If I win,
the girl goes on my list.

I can't wager Helen
in a card game.

Why not?

Wouldn't be right.

She's just going
to Auschwitz
Number Two, anyway.

What difference does it make?
She's not going to Auschwitz.

I'd never do that to her.
No, I want her

to come back to
Vienna with me.

I want her to come
to work for me there.

I want to grow old with her.

Are you mad?

Amon, you can't take
her to Vienna with you.

No, of course I can't.

That's what I'd like to do.

What I can do,
if I'm any sort of a man,

is the next most
merciful thing.

I shall take her
into the woods and

shoot her painlessly
in the back of the head.

What was it you
said for a natural 21?

Was it 14,800?

You'll be
pleased with the level

of efficiency I get
from these workers.

Budzyn, under my command,

was the envy of

in the labor camp system.

The prisoners, however...
Excuse me.

They would have rather
been somewhere else.

SCHINDLER:
The train with the women
has already left Plaszow

and will be
arriving here very shortly.

I know you've
had a long journey.

But it's only a short walk
further to the factory,

where hot soup and

Welcome to Brinnlitz!

Eggs in cholent?

Yes!

No, you don't.

MAN: How old are you, mother?

WOMAN: Sixty-eight.

Cough for me, mother.

They say to fall against
the fence is a kindness.

Don't kill yourself
against the fence, Clara.

If you do, you'll never know
what happened to you.

How old are you, mother?

Sixty-six, sir.

Sir?
Good morning.

A mistake has
been made. We are not
supposed to be here.

We work for Oskar Schindler.
We are Schindler Jews.

Who is Oskar Schindler?

He had a factory in Krakow.

Enamelware.

A pot maker.

How old are you, mother?

You are not
the only industrialist
who needs labor,

Herr Schindler.

I remember earlier this year,
IG Farben ordered

a trainload of Hungarians
for its chemical factory.

The train came in
through the archway

and the officer in
charge of the selection
went immediately to work

and sent 2,000 of them

straight away to
Special Treatment.

It is not my task
to interfere with

the processes that
take place down here.

Why do you
think I can help you
if I can't help IG Farben?

Allow me to
express the reason.

I'm not making any
judgment about you.

It's just that I know
that in the coming months,

we're all going to
need portable wealth.

I could have you arrested.

I'm protected by
powerful friends.
You should know that.

I do not say I
am accepting them.

All I say is,
I'm not comfortable
with them on the table.

I have a shipment
coming in tomorrow.

I'll cut you
300 units from it.

New ones.
These are fresh.

The train comes,
we turn it around.

Mmm, yes, yes.

It's yours.
I understand.

I want these.

You shouldn't
get stuck on names.

That's right. It creates
a lot of paperwork.

Under Department "W"
provisions

it is unlawful
to kill a worker
without just cause.

Under the Businesses
Compensation Fund

I am entitled to file
damage claims for such deaths.

If you shoot
without thinking,

you go to prison,
I get paid.

That's how it works.

So, there will be
no summary executions here.

There will be no interference
of any kind with production.

In hopes of
ensuring that,
guards will

no longer be allowed
on the factory floor

without my authorization.

For your cooperation,
you have my gratitude.

Come on, come.

You must be
Mrs. Schindler.

It's a pleasure

Emilie has volunteered
to work in the clinic.

Very generous of you.
I know.

We need to talk
when you have a moment.

This is my wife, Stern.
I don't keep any
secrets from my spouse.

Oskar,
please, attend to business.
It's much more attractive.

Madam.
Hello.

What is it?
We've received
an angry complaint

from the Armaments Board.

The artillery shells,
tank shells, rocket casings,

apparently all of them have
failed quality control tests.

That's to be expected.
Start-up problems.

This isn't pots and pans.
This is a precise business.

I'll write them a letter.
They're withholding payment.

Sure, so would I,
so would you.

I wouldn't worry about it.
We'll get it right
one of these days.

There's a rumor
you've been going around
miscalibrating the machines.

They could shut us down,
send us back to Auschwitz.

I'll call around, find out
where we can buy shells.

Pass them off as ours.

I don't see the difference.

Whether they're made here
or somewhere else...

You don't see a difference?
I see a difference.

You'll lose a lot of money.

Fewer shells will be made.

Stern, if this factory
ever produces

a shell that can
actually be fired,

I'll be very unhappy.

WOMAN: Hello, madam.
How do you do?

(MACHINE GRINDING)

How are you doing, Rabbi?
Rabbi!

Good, Herr Direktor.

Yes, it is.

WINSTON CHURCHILL ON RADIO:
Yesterday morning,
at 2:41 a.m.,

at General Eisenhower's
headquarters,

General Jodl signed the Act
of Unconditional Surrender

of all German land,
sea and air forces in Europe

to the Allied
Expeditionary Force

and simultaneously
to the Soviet High Command.

The German war is,
therefore, at an end.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
But let us not
forget for a moment...

I think it's time the guards
came into the factory.

Japan,
with all her treachery...

The unconditional surrender
of Germany has
just been announced.

At midnight tonight,
the war is over.

Tomorrow you'll
begin the process

of looking for survivors
of your families.

In most cases,

you won't find them.

After six long
years of murder,

victims are being mourned
throughout the world.

We've survived.

Many of you have come up to me
and thanked me.

Thank yourselves.

Thank your fearless Stern

and others among you
who worried about you

and faced death
at every moment.

I'm a member of
the Nazi Party.

I'm a munitions manufacturer.

I'm a profiteer
of slave labor.

I am a criminal.

At midnight you'll be free,
and I'll be hunted.

I shall remain
with you until five
minutes after midnight,

after which time,
and I hope you'll forgive me,

I have to flee.

I know you have
received orders
from our commandant,

which he has received
from his superiors,

to dispose of the population
of this camp.

Now would be
the time to do it.

Here they are,
they're all here.
This is your opportunity.

(PEOPLE MURMURING)

Or you could leave

and return to
your families as men

instead of murderers.

In memory of
the countless victims
among your people,

I ask us to observe
three minutes of silence.
