i am.
by law, i have to tell you, sir, i'm a jew.
it did all right.
i was just the accountant.
i think most people right now have other priorities.
get the contracts and i'm sure you'll do very well. in fact the worse things get the better you'll do. it was a "pleasure."
jews can no longer own businesses, sir, that's why this one's for sale.
pots and pans.
i don't know anybody who'd be interested in that.
the standard ss rate for jewish skilled labor is seven marks a day, five for unskilled and women. this is what you pay the economic office, the laborers themselves receive nothing. poles you pay wages. generally, they get a little more. are you listening?
the jewish worker's salary, you pay it directly to the ss, not to the worker. he gets nothing.
how heavy was he?
yes.
yes.
the war could end.
there's a machinist outside who'd like to thank you personally for giving him a job.
he asks every day. it'll just take a minute. he's very grateful.
mr. lowenstein?
okay, mr. lowenstein.
yes, he did.
yes.
do what?
christmas presents.
i somehow left my work card at home. i tried to tell them it was a mistake, but they --
i'm sorry. it was stupid. thank you.
thank you.
oskar --
there's a guy. this thing happened. goeth came into the metalworks --
are you losing money?
what other point is --
and killing.
there's nothing you can do. i'm not asking you to do anything. you came into my office.
if he didn't steal so much, i could hide it. if he's steal with some discretion.
there are fifteen thousand people here --
there are fifteen. he wants to say sixteen, seventeen, all right, maybe he can get away with it, but ten thousand over? it's stupid.
the ss auditors keep coming around, looking over the books -- goeth knows this --
-- you'd think he'd have the common sense to see what's coming. no, he steals with complete impunity.
if plaszow is closed, they'll have to send us somewhere else. where -- who knows? gross-rosen maybe. maybe auschwitz.
i think it's too late.
four hundred, four fifty --
about six hundred --
eight hundred, give or take.
what did goeth say? you just told him how many you needed?
how do you do?
stern is my accountant and friend.
that's very generous of you.
it was a pleasure meeting you.
we need to talk.
they arrived.
we've received a complaint from the armaments board. a very angry complaint. the artillery shells, the tank shells, rocket casings -- apparently all of them -- have failed quality-control tests.
they're withholding payment.
there's a rumor you've been going around miscalibrating the machines. i don't think that's a good idea.
they could close us down.
i know what you're saying, but i don't see the difference.
you'll lose money. that's one difference.
excuse me.
i'll talk to you later.
do you have any money i don't know about? hidden away someplace?
what's he doing here?
it's hebrew. it says, 'whoever saves one life, saves the world.'
oskar, there are twelve hundred people who are alive because of you. look at them.
there will be generations because of what you did.
you did so much.
