Chapter 485 485 A Touch of Red

"Today is a historic day, and today will be remembered forever. Many years from now, young people will ask with reverence and curiosity what happened today. Today is a historic day, and you are a part of it. 6 A hundred years ago, when the Black Death was prevalent in Europe, Jews were accused of being the source of the disease. The then Polish King Casimir. The. Great allowed Jews to come to Krakow. So they came and moved their family here. A city, settled and developed here. With extraordinary achievements in business, science, education and art, without them - the Jews, there would be no prosperity in Krakow. For six hundred years, the Jews Occupy Krakow! However, all of this will be rumored and will end tonight as if it never happened. So, today is a historic day!"

On March 13, 1943, Amon stood in front of the German army, mobilized the enthusiasm of all the soldiers, and began to slaughter Jews.

Subsequently, the German army officially began to transfer Jews out of Krakow to the Plaszow concentration camp. All Jews were not spared, even the workers under Schindler, including Stein, had to be transferred. During the transfer process, the Jews were subjected to a horrific massacre. The SS drove a military vehicle with a pack of wolf dogs into the ghetto, confiscated all the Jewish property, and drove all the Jews to the square. Class distinction, all the old, weak, sick and disabled in the hospital were shot and killed, all those who did not have a work permit were shot and killed, all those who resisted, and all those who were running on the streets were shot and killed...

In the sixteen blocks of the Krakow ghetto, there is a chilling atmosphere. Every Jew is like a frightened bird. The danger of dying makes them tremble. Even if they hide in cellars, sewers, and darkrooms, they will be killed. The SS, who were scraping the ground, found it and shot him without hesitation. At this moment, life is like a piece of paper, without any meaning. One shot of gunshots turned the ghetto into a living hell.

Schindler, who came back on horseback with his mistress, stopped on the hillside. He witnessed this tragic scene with his own eyes. The so-called abyss hell is not as shocking as the shock brought by such a close visual impact. A fresh life is worse than a beast, and life and death were decided simply and rudely. The SS did not even think about it, and in the blink of an eye, life dissipated in the gloomy and cold winter, and many soldiers even tried to kill. Have fun. The blood of the Jews dyed the poor neighborhood of the ghetto red, but in the eyes of the SS it was just a colorful oil painting.

In that dark black and white, Schindler saw a little girl in a red coat, following the expelled team, she was like a sika deer lost in the forest, her petite body screamed and confused. In the sound and blood, he walked dazedly. This red became the only color in the entire black and white world. Amidst the sound of gunfire, this red young figure was walking calmly, trying to find a way out, but Just beside her, a strand of grievances disappeared under the iron hoof of the Nazis.

At this moment, the entire movie theater fell into silence, as if the heart was being grabbed by a huge palm, it felt as if the whole person had sunk into the sea, and the cold, sad, fearful and angry emotions turned into sea water and engulfed him. Surrounded everywhere, and then the whole brain was suffocated, there was no way to do any thinking, even if the hands tightly grasped the back of the chair, even if the teeth clenched the lips tightly, even if the tears blurred the eyes, it still could not be relieved. The repressed negative emotions inside. That deadly emotion that wants to howl but can't make any sound makes everyone so small, like a tiny speck of dust in this world.

That smear of fresh red, that slender figure, just walked through the mourning, pain, tragedy, horror, grief, anger... and death of hell, and finally disappeared behind the gate that had become a ruin, and Behind her are the flocks of fresh lives that have been treated as livestock.

How ironic, how cruel, how painful.

Schindler's mistress couldn't bear to look directly at this scene, the terrible tragedy destroyed her healthy mind, choked up and begged Schindler to leave; while Schindler, who was enjoying his comfortable life as a rich man, was at a loss, and his heart was shocked. It made his world collapse in an instant, and in a trance, he seemed to recall the words he said when facing his wife, "war".

That touch of red is the greatest irony. Schindler has waited for the chance to make a fortune that he has finally waited for so many years. He also relied on the war to become a superior man, enjoying a life of fresh clothes and angry horses, and letting his wife return In his poverty-stricken hometown, he enjoys a wonderful life of soft fragrance and fragrant temples, but now, that red coat is flogging every thought of Schindler, and every gold coin in his hand comes from the Jews, This was originally the greatest achievement in his life, but at this moment, it has become the fire of hell that burned all his beliefs.

The Jews always thought the worst was over and hoped that it was coming, but they didn't know that the worst was always to greet them. Originally they thought the ghetto was scary enough, but compared to the Plaszow concentration camp, the ghetto was like paradise.

After waking up from the embrace of beautiful women early in the morning, Amon Goss, the top commander of the Plasov concentration camp, was bored and wanted to find something to do, so he held a long spear and held up the overly bloated man with clothes and food. The lower abdomen, walking to the balcony, then raised the long gun and aimed at the figure working on the playground of the concentration camp, and then saw a woman who stopped and was resting, aiming, pulling the trigger, the gun shot, and the woman fell to the ground.

The Jews in the entire concentration camp were terrified. Before they knew it, they became pawns in someone else's game. Every step seemed to be walking a tightrope. They also had to move their thin bodies and heavy steps and run fast, because if they moved a little slower, their lives would turn into a puff of smoke under the sound of a gunshot.

Amon seemed to be addicted to this kind of game. He sat on the rattan chair, smoking a cigarette leisurely, standing on the second floor and looking at the figure running all the way down from the perspective of God. After finding the prey, he calmly raised Raise the gun, pull the trigger. Then, he stretched his waist, curled his lips, turned his body, like a child who has completed a task, obviously he couldn't be more satisfied with his hunting action today. After patrolling his territory, he walked to the bathroom and solved his physiological needs leisurely and calmly. , as if everything that had just happened was just a game.

There is no deliberate noise, no bright bloodstains, no unnecessary pictures, just like an ordinary morning composed of toast and milk, but it makes every audience in the cinema feel the biting cold in the blood. The contemptuous and casual cruelty made the fresh heart stop beating in an instant.

Looking at the empty factory, Schindler thought again and again, and decided to go to the SS commander, Amon, and ask him to approve the Emaliya factory as a subordinate labor camp, allowing Jews to become workers and resume production. Amon tweeted that many conditions must be met in order to achieve the goal, and took the opportunity to hit Schindler hard. Schindler naturally understood and said that as long as he helped him, he would give Amon a satisfactory reward.

As a result, another factory was added next to the Plasov concentration camp.

But among the many workers, Schindler did not see Stein. It turned out that Stein was chosen by Amon as his personal accountant to deal with the benefits he got from Schindler, and then supervise the production of Schindler's factory. run.

With the help of Schindler, Amon lived a life of lavish money, and Schindler was also able to enter the Plaszow concentration camp through Amon's relationship. At the same time as the party, Schindler and Stein finally meet. Stein told Schindler not to forget to give birthday gifts to SS officers and their families, but also to honor the people in the Ministry of Finance and the Quartermaster Bureau on time, and the expenses of the SS command must be paid on the first day of each month In exchange for permission to open concentration camp processing factories.

In the Plaszow concentration camp, the SS slaughtered Jews recklessly and frantically, while Schindler's factory became a refuge for many Jews. Schindler and Stein cooperated with each other, and used a lot of bribes to keep the precious blood of the Jews in the factory. At the same time, some Jews who were lucky enough to escape in the ghetto to hunt down the Jews who stayed in Krakow also found Schindler one after another. Hope he can save his relatives in Plasov concentration camp.

Schindler discovered Stein's little actions behind his back. The so-called "sanctuary" remarks were released by Stein. Stein hoped to save more compatriots through Schindler, but this made Schindler Trapped in a dangerous situation, because once he was found, his life was no longer safe.

Schindler wanted to convince Stein that Amon was in a situation of great pressure, because Amon, as the manager of the concentration camp, also had responsibilities, and this was a war. "War always makes people reveal themselves. The evil side is always like this!" Schindler believes that Amon is also kind and polite in peacetime.

But Stein destroyed this idea of ​​Schindler. "He was born to kill. Beesky told me the day before yesterday that someone escaped while being sent to work on the outer wall, and Goss made the whole barracks. Stand in line, and then shoot Beeski all the way back and forth, and he walks down the line, shooting each one with his pistol. Twenty-five."

This cruel reality reminded Schindler of the red shirt, and he fell into silence, because he knew that he could not ignore this group of lives, they were not a group of meaningless numbers, but real people. It's not how noble he is, just because he is still a person deep down, a person with flesh and blood. So, Schindler compromised, he decided to rescue those "relatives", but the price is more bribes.

Schindler realized that Amon was the key person to change the status quo of the concentration camps. He found that Amon had a different opinion on Helen, the cleaner of the villa. It was discovered that he was in love with a Jew. So Schindler hopes that Helen can be strong and subtly change him by Amon's side, but this is not an easy task for Helen.

On the other hand, Schindler used the emperor's definition of power, "power is to have enough reasons to kill a person, but not to kill", persuaded Amon, and let Amon learn to control his emotions, which made him The life of the Jews in the concentration camps improved slightly.

Amon repeatedly endured his anger when he was ready to kill, because he believed that he was the emperor of the concentration camp, and he had supreme power. But this control did not last long. When a teenager failed to clean the bathtub, Amon first forgave him and let him leave, but in the end Amon shot the teenager when he left the villa. .

A "bang" shot once again broke the tranquility of the Plasov concentration camp, and the cold-blooded Amon lost control again.
