Chapter 484 484 Schindler

In the darkness, a match was lit, and the faint flame lit up, lighting two white candles, and dispelling the darkness. It turned out that this was a Jewish ceremony. There were two candlesticks on the white tablecloth.

The story opened in the smoke from the roar of the train. The black and white picture made the entire movie theater fall into a haze. It was no longer a color movie, and everything was left in black and white. This made the audience murmured, obviously very dissatisfied.

In 1939, Germany defeated Poland in a blitzkrieg within two weeks, ordered Jews to register their families and resettle in major cities, and more than 10,000 Jews arrived in Krakow every day. The noisy train station, the turbulent crowd, the registered names, the fate of the Jews was simply and brutally decided.

The Jews in Krakow elected 24 Jews to form a committee to help the Jews who were concentrated in the city resolve issues such as accommodation and meals, allocating labor and resolving disputes.

Oskar Schindler, a German entrepreneur who just came to Krakow from his hometown, is tall, handsome, suave, and most importantly, generous. He generously made friends with German officers and SS troops in various social occasions. , his generosity soon made him an important member of high society, and the officers were willing to show him kindness. Schindler quickly became a social star in the small town of Krakow.

Schindler also went to the registry, looking for a Jew named Isaac Stein, who had worked as an accountant in an enamel factory in Liebz. Schindler intended to buy the mismanaged enamel factory to produce edible utensils and supply military supplies, and he wanted Stein to run the factory as his accountant and assistant. However, what makes Stein puzzled is: why did Schindler do this?

Obviously, the clever Schindler set his target on Jewish assets, because now the law stipulates that Jews are not allowed to do business, so Schindler, who does not have enough funds to buy the enamel factory, intends that he, as the owner of the factory, raise Jewish funds, Production, and then give the Jewish kitchen utensils and other things that they can use in their lives in return, and then sell these supplies to the German army for huge profits.

Schindler was a speculator, using Jewish money, using Jewish resources, and then using his German identity and extensive social skills to make a fortune. But Stein refused.

However, Schindler had the freedom and patience that Jews could not enjoy. On the one hand, Schindler began to enter the underground black market of Jews to trade, and on the other hand, he was waiting for the next opportunity. In March 1941, Jews were ordered to enter the ghetto in Krakow, which also gave Schindler a good opportunity.

The city that was emptied made it easy for Schindler to find a big house to live in, and Jews in the entire Krakow area had to live in sixteen blocks. It was getting harder and harder for Jews to get supplies from outside without leaving the ghetto. Under such circumstances, the wealthy Jewish businessmen bowed their heads and reached a cooperation agreement with Schindler through Stein.

With the funds in place, Schindler bought the factory and renamed it Emalia, and Stein became his accountant and Jewish contact.

The SS stipulated that the wages of Jewish skilled workers were seven marks a day, and other types of work and women workers were five marks a day, but they had to be paid directly to the government financial department, and Jews could not get a penny. The wages of Polish workers are higher. As a result, Jews became Schindler's natural choice.

Jews who were driven to the ghetto had to be registered, and only those deemed to be "skilled in armaments" could stay, otherwise they would be put on a truck and sent to an unknown place—often meaning death, This makes every Jew rack his brains to find a way, but for teachers, musicians and other artistic people, this is a bad news.

The recruitment office was crowded, and Stein, who shouldered the responsibility and power of recruiting workers for Schindler, carefully gave effective instructions to the candidates, hoping to help his compatriots find a suitable place, and then secretly forged various qualifications to those who did not have the qualifications. Teachers, writers, musicians, and elderly people who entered the factory in order to avoid being blacklisted by the German army pushed them into trucks and sent them away.

Schindler was like a duck to water among German officers. He quickly made his factory cooperate with the army, and at the same time made the entire factory a lot of money and truly lived a life in the upper class.

But at this moment, Schindler's wife came to Krakow, which made Schindler's days of lingering in the flowers had to be interrupted. But Schindler couldn't wait to share his achievements with his wife, "My father had fifty workers at his peak, and I had three hundred and fifty. There were three hundred and fifty workers in the factory, and there was only one purpose, for the I make wealth!"

This made his wife feel unreal, with disbelief on her face, and Schindler looked at his wife and whispered, "People here will never forget the name Schindler, and they'll say, 'Oscar Schindler? Everyone remembers him. His deeds are extraordinary. He can do anything. He came with bare hands and a suitcase. He built a bankrupt company into a large factory. , have everything..."

Schindler described the bright future, but inexplicably, there was some confusion and loss in his eyes, "In the past, business failures were all unexpected, and the results fell short. I know what is missing, and there is nothing I can do about it. Because this element can be met but not sought, and success or failure is determined by this element.”

The wife chuckled and said, "Luck?", but Schindler raised his eyebrows and said deeply, "War!"

The wife asked Schindler whether he should stay, and Schindler left it to his wife to decide, so the wife said, "Promise me, as long as the janitors and waiters only think that I am Mrs. Schindler, then I will stay. Come down." But unfortunately, the wife's eyes filled with hope failed to achieve her goal, and soon after, she took the train and left Krakow with eyes full of disappointment and sadness.

One day, a one-armed old worker named Reinstein came to Schindler under the introduction of Stein and expressed his gratitude directly. He said that he was almost killed by the SS, and that he was grateful that the factory saved him and that he would repay him. At this time, Schindler knew that Stein had arranged some incapable jobs under his own eyes, which made Schindler very angry. He vented his anger at Stein, but did not fire Lu Lu. Einstein, but let the one-armed old man stay in the factory.

However, when the winter blizzard came, Reinstein, who was cleaning the snow, was pulled out of the team by German officers and shot. Schindler angrily approached the officer to negotiate, and a senior SS officer told him that giving Jews a place in the business meant betrayal. Faced with this kind of accusation, Schindler firmly sided with Reinstein, saying that Reinstein was an important mechanic, but it didn't help. The one-armed old man was already lying lifelessly in the snow. .

The smudge-like blood on the pure white snow brought a bit of cold amidst the desolate snowflakes and strong winds, causing the audience sitting in the cinema to shiver involuntarily, the fear in their hearts silently. Begin to take root and sprout.

German troops began to move Jews again, and this time, Stein was on the list, and he was put on a train with many Jews. After getting the news, Schindler rushed to the train station. Facing the German soldiers who were unwilling to compromise, Schindler reprimanded the two officers tactfully and calmly, "I can guarantee that you will be transferred to South Russia at the end of two months. , I wish you a good mood."

Then Schindler began to look for Stein in the carriage, but the train had already started, which made Schindler more and more anxious. At this critical moment, Schindler found Stein, and the two frightened officers quickly stopped the train and let Stein leave the train.

For the German soldiers, one more Jew and one less Jew made no difference, and Stein was nothing special to them, just paper work, so they released Stein after they got Schindler to sign kindness. Only then did Stern hurriedly explain. It turned out that he forgot to bring his work permit, so he was arrested.

In fact, Stein's arrest heralded a new round of carnage. The German army began to establish the Plaszow concentration camp near Krakow, preparing to transfer all the Jews there, and the young officer Amon Goss was appointed as the top commander of the Plaszow concentration camp. The train that Stein narrowly escaped was the first batch of workers sent to the Plaszow concentration camp to build barracks.

Amon's appearance is undoubtedly particularly eye-catching. Wearing a Nazi military coat, his handsome, handsome and gentleman's appearance fully reflects the charm of the uniform, and his vulgar and vulgar behavior is different from other soldiers. People have a good impression, and just one appearance makes many women's hearts moved.

Sure enough, after Amon inspected the concentration camp, he needed to find a maid for his villa. After a simple review, he tenderly and considerately selected Helen, who was shivering because of the cold. When the beautiful Helen saw Amona After the gentleman's action, the frozen heart can also feel a touch of warmth.

But then, everyone was shocked by Amon, including Helen, and the audience at the cinema. When the architect suggested the possible hidden dangers of the defect in the base of the concentration camp, Amon lightly ordered his officers to shoot the architect, and it was on the spot.

After the architect was shot, Amon calmly ordered the officers to re-cast the foundation according to the architect's advice, and then returned to his car at a steady pace and left the construction site. Helen, who witnessed all this, shivered even more in the cold wind of winter.

The audience in the entire movie theater held their breath for a moment. Although the depression and fear that pervaded the air from the beginning of the movie made people feel heavy, it has not reached its peak until this moment. Amona regards life as the The indifference of the musty is as if the cold wind outside the cinema has frozen the blood of every audience into blocks.
