Chapter 485 485 A touch of red

"Today is a historic day, and today will be remembered forever. Many years later, young people will ask about what happened today with reverence and curiosity. Today is a historic day, and you are part of it. Six hundred years ago, the Black Death in Europe was over, and the Jews were accused of being the source of the disease. The Polish king Casimi (the great) allowed the Jews to come to Krakow. So they came, moved their families to the city, settled and developed here. Extraordinary achievements have been made in the fields of business, science, education and art, without them, there would be no prosperity in Krakow. For six hundred years, the Jews occupied Krakow! However, all this will become a rumor and end tonight, as if it had never happened. So today is a historic day!"

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

Subsequently, the German team officially began to transfer the Jews from Krakow to Prasov concentration camp. All Jews were not spared. Even Schindler's workers, including Steyn, had to transfer. During the transfer, the Jews suffered a tragic massacre. The SS drove a military vehicle to the ghetto with swarms of wolfdogs, confiscated all the Jews' property, and drove all the Jews to the square to conduct a simple and rough hierarchical distinction. All the old, weak, sick and disabled in the hospital were shot, all those who did not have a work permit, all those who resisted, all those who were all shot, all those who were wandering on the streets...

The mere sixteen blocks of the ghetto in Krakow were filled with murderous aura. Every Jew was like a frightened bird. The crisis of life hanging on the line made them tremble. Even if they were hiding in the cellar, sewer, and darkroom, they would be found by the SS who were searching like a ground, and then shot without hesitation. Life was like a piece of paper at this moment, meaningless. A gunshot made the ghetto a living hell, bloody storm, and I couldn't bear to look at it.

Schindler, who returned from riding a horse with his mistress, stopped on the hillside. He witnessed this tragic scene with his own eyes. The so-called abyss hell is not as good as the spiritual shock brought by such close-up visual impact. They are living lives, but they are worse than animals. They are simply and roughly determined by life and death. The SS did not even think about it. In a moment, life and cold winter were dissipated in the gloomy and cold winter, and many soldiers even enjoyed their lives. The blood of the Jews dyed the simple blocks of the galaxy red, but in the eyes of the SS, it was just a colorful oil painting.

In the dark black and white, Schindler saw a little girl in a red coat, following the expelled team. She was like a lost sika deer in the forest. Her mini petite body was passing by in a daze in the screams, chaos, and blood. This red color became the only color in the entire black and white world. In the sound of gunfire, this red young figure was passing by calmly, trying to find a way out, but just beside her, a wisp of wronged souls disappeared under the iron hooves of the Nazis.

At this moment, the entire cinema was silent, and the heart seemed to be grabbed by a huge palm. It felt like the whole person had sunk into the bottom of the sea. The cold, sad, fear and anger turned into sea water to encircle him everywhere. Then the whole brain was suffocated, and there was no way to think. Even if the hands clasped the back of the chair, even if the teeth bit the lips, even if the tears blurred their eyes, they could not relieve the suppressed negative emotions in their hearts. The fatal emotion that wanted to howl but could not make any sound made everyone so small, like a tiny wisp of dust in this world.

The vivid red and the weak figure were like this, just wailing, pain, tragedy, terror, grief, grief, anger... and death, and finally disappeared behind the gate that had become ruins, and behind her were the groups of living lives treated as animals.

How ironic, how cruel, how painful it is.

Schindler's mistress couldn't bear to look at this scene. The terrible tragedy destroyed her healthy heart and begged Schindler to leave with sobs; while Schindler, who was enjoying his comfortable life as a rich man, was confused. The shock in his heart caused his world to collapse in an instant. In a trance, he seemed to recall the words he said when facing his first wife, "war".

That red dress is the greatest irony. Schindler waited for the opportunity to get rich for so many years. He also relied on war to become a superior person, enjoying the life of bright clothes and angry horses, and letting his first wife return to his poor hometown. He enjoyed the wonderful life of soft and fragrant embrace and fragrant hair. Now, that red dress is whipping Schindler's every thought. Every gold coin in his hand comes from the Jews. This was originally the greatest work of his life, but at this moment, it turned into a hell fire that burned all his beliefs.

The Jews always thought that the worst was over and hoped that it was coming, but they didn't know that the situation that would always be a worse person. Originally, they thought that the ghetto was already terrible enough, but compared to the Prasov concentration camp, the ghetto was like a paradise.

After Amon Gos, the highest commander of the Prasov concentration camp, woke up from the beauties' arms in the early morning, he was bored and wanted to find something to do. So he took a spear and stood up his belly, which was overly bloated because of his wealth. He walked to the balcony, then raised his spear and pointed it at the figure working on the concentration camp playground. Then he saw a woman who stopped and rested, aimed at the trigger, and the gunshot, and the woman fell to the ground.

The Jews in the entire concentration camp were frightened. Unconsciously, they became pawns in other people's games. Every step seemed to be walking a tightrope. Even if they couldn't eat or cover their clothes, they had to move their thin bodies and heavy steps and run quickly, because their movements were a little slower, and their lives would turn into a wisp of smoke under the gunshot.

Amon seemed to be addicted to this kind of game. He sat on a rattan chair, sucking cigarettes leisurely, standing on the second floor, looking at the figure running wildly below from a God's perspective. After seeking prey, he calmly raised his spear and pulled the trigger. Then, stretched his waist, curled his mouth, and turned his body, like a child who completed the task. He was obviously very satisfied with his hunting operations today. After patrolling his territory, he walked to the bathroom and leisurely and calmly solved his physiological needs, as if everything that happened just was just a game.

There was no deliberate noise, no bright blood, no unnecessary pictures, just like an ordinary morning made of toast and milk, but every audience in the cinema felt the biting cold in the blood. The contemptuous and casual cruelty made the lively heart stop beating in an instant.

Looking at the empty factory, Schindler thought about it over and over again and decided to go to SS Commander Amon and asked him to approve the Emaria factory as an affiliated labor camp, so that the Jews would become workers and resume production. Amonti said that many conditions must be met to achieve the goal, so he took the opportunity to knock Schindler hard. Schindler naturally understood it and said that as long as he helped him, he would give Amon a satisfactory reward.

So, another factory was added next to the Prasov concentration camp.

But among the many workers, Schindler did not see Steine. It turned out that Steine ​​was chosen by Amon as his private accountant, dealing with the benefits he received from Schindler, and then supervising the operation of the Schindler factory.

With Schindler's support, Amon lived a life of luxury, and Schindler also entered the Prasov concentration camp through Amon's relationship. At the same time as the party was held, Schindler and Stein finally met. Stein told Schindler not to forget to give birthday gifts to SS officers and their families, and to be filial to the people of the Ministry of Finance and the Military Control Bureau on time. The SS Headquarters expenses must be sent on the first day of each month in order to exchange for the right to be allowed to open a concentration camp processing plant.

In the Prashov concentration camp, the SS slaughtered the Jews wantonly and crazily, and Schindler's factory became a refuge for many Jews. Schindler and Stein worked together and used a large amount of bribes to keep the precious blood of the Jews. At the same time, some lucky enough to escape from the pursuit of the Jews who remained in Krakow in the ghetto, and found Schindler, hoping that he could save his relatives in the Prashov concentration camp.

Schindler discovered the small movement behind Steyn's back. The so-called "sanctuary" remarks were released by Steyn. Steyn hoped to save more compatriots through Schindler, but this put Schindler in a dangerous situation because once he was discovered, his life would no longer be safe.

Schindler wanted to convince Steine, but Amon was under tremendous pressure, because Amon was also under responsibilities as the manager of the concentration camp, and this was a war. "War always made people show their evil side, and it was always like this!" Schindler believed that Amon was also kind and polite in daily life.

But Steine ​​destroyed Schindler's idea, "He was born to like killing people. Besky told me the day before yesterday that someone escaped when he was sent to work on the exterior wall. Goss asked the whole barracks to line up and then shot all the people in Besky from the front, back and left and right. He followed the queue and killed one by one with a pistol. Twenty-five."

This cruel reality reminded Schindler of the red garment, and he fell into silence because he knew that he could not ignore these lives. They were not a group of meaningless numbers, but real people. It was not how noble he was, but just because deep down he was still a person, a flesh and blood person. So, Schindler compromised and decided to rescue those "kinds", but the price was more bribery.

Schindler realized that Amon was the key figure to change the current situation of the concentration camp. He found that Amon looked at Helen, the villa cleaner, and Amon did not even let Helen hang a Jewish armband, because Amon didn't want others to find out that he fell in love with a Jew. So Schindler hoped that Helen could become strong and change him subtly around Amon, but this was not an easy task for Helen.

On the other hand, Schindler used the emperor's definition of power, "Power means having enough reason to kill someone, but not to kill him." He persuaded Amon and learned to control his emotions, which made the lives of Jews in the concentration camp slightly improve.

Amon repeatedly endured himself when he was angry and prepared to kill people, because he thought 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 up the bathtub, Amon initially forgives him and asks him to leave, but in the end, Amon shot him when the teenager left the villa.

A "bang" gunshot broke the tranquility of the Prasov concentration camp again, and the cold-blooded Amon lost control again.
