Screenplay data
Oskar Schindler, a German businessman, establishes a factory in Poland using Jewish investors and workers, initially for profit, but gradually transforms it into a sanctuary as the Holocaust escalates. Aided by his accountant Itzhak Stern, Schindler bribes SS Commandant Amon Goeth to protect his workers from deportation, intensifying his efforts during the liquidation of the Cracow Ghetto. He negotiates to move his workers to a new factory in Brinnlitz, creating "Schindler's List," and later bribes officials to rescue women and children rerouted to Auschwitz, bringing them to safety. As the war ends, a now-bankrupt Schindler bids farewell to his liberated workers, who honor his sacrifice, and his legacy is remembered by the "Schindlerjuden" who place stones on his grave.

Oskar Schindler, Itzhak SternThey cast a spell on you, you know, the Jews. You work closely with them like I do, you see this. They have this power, it's like a virus. Some of my men are infected with this virus. They should be pitied, not punished. They should receive treatment, because this is as real as typhus. I see this all the time.
I'm a member of the Nazi party. I'm a munitions manufacturer. I'm a profiteer of slave labor, I'm a criminal. At midnight, you will be free and I will be hunted. I'll remain with you until five minutes after midnight After which time, and I hope you'll forgive me, I have to flee.
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 --
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.
I don't know. Don't go east, that's for sure, they hate you there. I wouldn't go west either if I were you.
I'm trying to live my life, they come up with this? I got to find every body buried up here? And burn it?
It's been suggested I cremate them in my furnaces. As a Catholic I will not. As a human being I will not.
Yeah, all right, don't tell me, I'll go along with it, it's just irritating to me I can't figure it out.
