Schindler's List Page #4

I would pay a Pole.

It's less.

That's the point I'm trying

to make. Poles cost more.

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 heaIthy women for the...

I am heaIthy.

Bring your sister, okay?

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.

Der Nchste!

I'm a graduate of

the University of Lviv.

I used to work at the

hydroelectric station in Ronw.

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?

Poldek!

Enjoying the weather, Poldek?

Enjoying the lines?

Need some shoe polish?

In a metal container maybe?

Not essential? 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

Emailwarenfabrik

cosigned by Mr. Bankier

and myseIf.

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
