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.

Hauptscharfhrer, this gentleman

thinks a mistake's been made.

My plant manager is

somewhere on this train.

If it leaves with him on it,

it'll disrupt production

and the Armaments Board

will want to know why.

Achtung,

dieser Zug fhrt jetzt ab.

Is he on the list?

Yes, sir. Itzhak Stern.

Well, the list is correct,

sir. There is nothing I can do.

What is your name?

Close and secure all doors.

My name? My name is Kunder.

This train is now leaving.

Kunder.

Hauptscharfhrer Kunder.

K- U-N-D-E-R.

And what's yours?

Schindler.

S- C-H-l-N-D-L-E-R.

Gentlemen,

thank you very much.

I think I can guarantee you

you'll both be

in Southern Russia before the

end of the month. Good day.

Zamykac dokladnie

drzwi. Dokladnie zamykac drzwi.

Stern!

Stern!

Stern!

Itzhak Stern!

Stern! tzhak Stern!

Stern! Stern!

Itzhak Stern!

Stern!

Sir?

Stern!

Herr Direktor.

My apologies.

Stop the train!

He's here!

I apologize.

Stop the train!

Stop the train! Stop it!

Sign here.

Initial there.

Makes no difference to us, you

understand. This one, that one.

It's

the inconvenience to the list.

It's the paperwork.

I somehow left my

work card at home.

I tried to explain them

it was a mistake, but...

I'm sorry,

it was stupid!

What if I got here

five minutes later?

Then where would I be?

Sacrean,

sacrean end tzukeer.

Tzukeer end sacrean.

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.

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 haIf.

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?

Ja, why is the top down?

I'm f***ing freezing.

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.

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.

What's that over there?

Kindergarten.

Fifty-one.

And we have a dentist,

shoemaker, practical physicians.

There they are, sir.

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.

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.

I don't want

to give you my cold.

What's your name?

Helen Hirsch.

What?

Helen Hirsch.

What? can't hear.

Helen Hirsch.

Ja.

Take it all down!

To work!

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 f***ing Hotel Europa.

F***ing Jew b*tch engineer.

You f***ing b*tch!

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 himseIf.

Unterscharfhrer!

Jawohl?

Shoot her.

What?

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

Absitzen und in

Zweierreihen antreten!

Kameraden! Schneller!

I think we will

start with Ghetto B.

Hopp, hopp,

hopp, hopp!

All right?

Start from both sides?

No, no, I would like you to

start there. The right side?

The right side, yeah.

And then move around.

All right.

Beschriften Sie es

Beschriften Sie es deutlich.

Es wird lhnen nachgeschickt.

Gold, Chaim!

Yes, Chaim Gold.

Shoot him.

Nie zabijaj! Nie zabijaj!

Ziehen Sie warme Kleidung

Hey, little boy.

Platz Chodi!

Was soll der Koffer hier?

Alles rber zum Platz Chodi!

We're getting out

through the sewers.

I have to check

if they're clear.

Mila, pack some things.

Nothing bigger than this.

I can't go in the sewers. I told

you I won't go in the sewers.

You can go. Yes, you can.

I won't go in the sewers.
