This is something that I actually wanted to educate myself on, which is why I used the channel Occupied Krakow as a resource. In one of his videos, he tells us the reason that the camp is pronounced Plaszow, with the L is because that’s how the Germans pronounced it. The district with the same name is pronounced with the W as you said. As he explained in the video, it’s ultimately up to the individual how they wish to pronounce it. But I found his reasonings to be sound and used the pronunciation for the camp he recommended. I encourage you to check that video out, and thank you for the comment!

Definitely great Acting and great Movie, However for those curious about the Historical Aspects of this Movie: When the Movie came out lots of Holocaust Suvivors and Historians (I also now work in Historical Research here in Munich/Müncheen, Germany) criticized several Things about the Movie. One of them being that Spielberg used to say it's "as authentic as possible" and "not much is fiction" while promoting the Movie, which to this Day makes most People think Schindler's List was some well-researched Historical Movie - Based on a True Story. Which it wasn't, the Movie is Spielberg's Movie-Version of the Historical Fiction Novel called "Schindler's Ark". While the Characters we see existed, how they act in the Movie (both the good and the evil Characters) is completely Imagination. On one Hand, Historically Amon Göth f.e. wasn't as cliché super-villainous as presented While one the other Hand Oskar Schindler wasn't as "good" as presented in the Movie. Those are just 2 Examples, so the Main Criticism besides Spielberg being misleading and presenting it as "Historical" and "well researched" were: - Making Characters & their Actions in the Movie into stereotypical Good vs Evil & presenting History as Black/White & oversimplified which as some of the so called "Schindler Jews" as well as Historians said makes the Movie have certain Parts that are "Bad Kitsch" & "smell of an overly imaginative Mind" - Spielberg by having been misleading causing most People who watched it believe it's very authentic & historical, which then supports the "Black/White" Thinking instead of the Realization that all of this could happen to anyone, including the Viewer because the Nazis were just human as well and ordinary People until their Surroundings & "Normal" changed. So Fictional Cliché Presentations of these Characters fuels the "Oh those people are just evil naturally. And we're good naturally." which for Historians is especially an important Topic. Showing Comic-Book like cliché good and cliché evil fictional Characters as historical helps the Viewer stay in a comfortable Bubble regarding History and Historical Events. Which then makes People be less vigilant and aware of the Fact that anyone could have ended up like Amon Göth or like Oskar Schindler a la "Oh this could never happen here."

The moments where Amon spares someone out of pure capriciousness and because they amused him reminds me a lot of a story my grandfather told me about one of his experiences in the camps (he was an Auschwitz survivor and was transferred to several different camps over the course of the war). There was a time he was assigned shoeshining duty. Since he was somewhat of a trickster, he used this opportunity to pickpocket the Nazis for any valuables in their coat pockets, then trade those items back to different Nazis in exchange for a little food to split amongst his bunkmates. Grandpa typically stole cigarettes and cigars and traded them, since those were pretty valuable. One day, an officer caught him in the act, and told him to put the items down and come over to him. The officer said "you know, I could shoot you for that?" and paused for a moment. Then the officer tousled his hair and sent him on his way. I suppose that officer was motivated in a similar way, amused at the audacity of his shoeshiner trying to rob him. I wouldn't have even been born if that officer had decided differently. Those scenes with Amon toying with prisoners really hit deep and personal for me.

I'm not trying to be rude or anything, just genuinely curious how it feels for a somewhat older German to go through that ringer. From what I can tell the younger generation seems to resent it somewhat since this isn't something they _nor their parents_ took part in.

Its weird seeing how we as germans are still often percieved that way, even tho our politics is almost the exact opposite now since many many years. We show Schindlers List on private TV without ads every year, we have these programms where many schools go to concentration camps and we dedicate more than an entire year to studying the 3rd reich and how it could happen the way it did. Just having a small hint of being a bit more right leaning, and you are deemed a nazi that no one should interact with. (Which is a bit ironic, since one of the most leftist people in our government rn has almost the exact ideas as the far right) So yea, its very irritating to us young germans to see us portrayed like that, but one thing most of us agree on, is thst the history is important and needs to be taught. If you forget it, you are doomed to repeat it. But what i personally feel is that its not the task of us germans to not forget and teach others, like it is sometimes said. Its not our task because we are german, i think its our task because we are humans. It doesnt matter that it happened in our country, what matters is that we understand and learn how and why, and thst is something the whole world must take part in. Its an obligation we all have as humans, not as germans.

Hey champ, that's really interesting! Next time keep it to yourself.

My grandfather Edmund was a Holocaust survivor. He and his family lived in Krakow before being confined in the ghetto there and then transferred to Plaszow, where the film is set. He even recalled hearing rumours that if you could find work at Oskar Schindler's factor then you'd be safe. But while he never met Schindler personally, he unfortunately had some close encounters with Amon Göth. My dad and grandpa Eddy went to see Schindler's List in theatres, and when Fiennes appeared on screen he started trembling, pointed at the screen and whispered "That's him! That's Göth!" -- according to my dad the poor man was so completely terrified, it was as if he was back there again. :( Edit: Forgot to add that in '95 he was interviewed for the Shoah Foundation, which Spielberg founded after making Schindler's List. The footage is kept in the US Holocaust Memorial Museum's archives.

Wanted to share more about grandpa Eddy because it was important to him for younger generations to learn from survivors: Eddy, his parents, and his 6 siblings were transferred to other concentration camps after Plaszow. His mother Chana and sisters Shoshana, Faye, and Sara were all murdered in the gas chambers -- Sara was only 3 years old when she died. Eventually he was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau along with his brother Zygmund. Towards the very end of the war when it was clear that Germany was losing, Eddy and Zygmund managed to escape and were placed in an infirmary by Allied soldiers to receive medical care. Sadly Zygmund died only a few days after finally reaching freedom (either from typhus, dysentery, or just severe malnutrition/starvation, not sure which). Eddy was reunited with his father Fischel and brother Yakov, and eventually they found his sister Helen as well. Grandpa Eddy started fresh in Canada in the early '50s and made a long fulfilling life for himself (even though he was deeply scarred by his experiences during the Holocaust, obviously). Grandpa Eddy passed away in 2016 at the age of 95, surrounded by loved ones. He was a really sweet, gentle dude and I miss him tons. His memory is a blessing. ❤

I love him so much in The Prince of Egypt, especially since he sang all his parts too

I love the way Fiennes plays villains. Just the way he uses his face and physicality.

The modern trend in writing villains is to make their motivations understandable. You'll hear lots of film enthusiasts preach that making a one-dimensional antagonist who's just evil for the sake of evil and only cares for money is the wrong way to go. It's almost as if the film is trying to give Amon a character arc regarding power & attraction, as well as attempting to provide answers on why he is the way he is. Only for him to reject that exploration and immediately go back to the pleasure of violence. A reminder that monsters do exist in real life no matter if they're human.

To think they actually had to tone down Amon Goeth's depravity and cruelty because people saw that as 'unrealistic.' One of the few realities is that we don't know what the bottom of human evil is, it just keeps going.

I see this kind of comment so many times. Yes, I see your Red Baron portrait but don't worry about me calling you a Wehraboo or some such because ordinary people does this also. Too much, in fact. Look at all the likes. Why, let's celebrate an actor for portraying one of the worst criminals in history(in a movie that is originally meant for telling people how much of a bastard he was and what monstrosity of a system Nazi Germany created) instead of talking more about the victims who died or lived through it. Are we supposed to admire this behavior, or condemn it?

Something that always stuck with me was something his estranged daughter said in an interview. Her whole life she lived in the shadow of a man she didn’t know. When Schindler’s list came out she decided to see it , not knowing which character her father was. She said as soon as he appeared and delivered that first line “Yeah I’m fucking freezing” She immediately knew that was her father. The miserable man Ralph Finnes portrayed was that good.

Ralph Fiennes was brilliant playing Amon Goeth! His ability to recreate the evil persona of one of the worst men in history, was both awe inspiring and terrifying.

I remember watching this movie in HS. Omg i cried.. especially when they showed the little girl with the red dress alive, then dead on a wooden wheelbarrow. This movie is amazing, beautiful and absolutely terrible all at once. Liam and Ralph played their roles beautifully

Frollo in the film shares many similarities with Göth. Both lust after women of an ethnic group that they hate and face internal conflict over this.

Finally, they harm anybody who doesn’t conform to their views of what the world should be.

Goeth was also an extremely tall man - he likely shot the prisoner for no other reason than his head noticeably stuck up above the crowd making the parade appear ununiform, which would have annoyed him considering his SS background. Goeth did not view his victims as human in any way, which is why and how he was so abjectly evil, so it's unlikely he would have felt any complex emotion towards them.

Something that is so horrifying about this is that this man was not some fictional movie villain like most of other villains on this show. This man was not only an actual person who really existed but he committed even more horrific atrocities than fictional villains

@@narednikmajka2403 Well… what if conscience is a form of basic primitive instinct? Possible by brain wiring unique to humans? Although, some other species seem to show signs of the same. You are talking political correctness here. Yes, that is learned behavior. Easily mistaken for inborn trait. Conscience is not required for survival. Therefore, its circuitry is not universally hardwired in our brains. It is “optional.” For purpose of this exchange, it can be thought of as a talent. Some are born with it, some without it. Talent is not the best example though. We can learn PC. Not the talent. Perhaps better example here is empathy. That is easy to pretend PC style. So, is it nature or nurture? We can tell difference in children. At certain stage some show it, some do not. Even before they are able to learn what behavior is expected of them by their culture. Sure, it can be useful to label learned PC behavior as conscience. But not technically correct. Ambitious individuals without conscience can easily outdo people who have it. They exploit the PC rules for personal benefit. It is easy to fall for their calculated displays of seemingly high morality. That is one of reasons why sociopaths and psychopaths are on average more successful in life than “normal” people. Individuals with added charisma and excess narcissism in the mix of their inborn personality traits are fully equipped to make it to the top.

Did a much better job than a typical documentary from mainstream cable channels. You got me interested early on and kept me interested, very nice narration.

Göth (Goeth), not Goethe.

I can't help wondering what Goert would have been like in a different setting? A serial killer? A boring civil servant? Might he have found an outlet for his dark side that didn't involve violence? I wonder if it was Goert's nature to be a psychopath and killer or if it was the power given to a fairly ordinary man, the power of life and death, to act with absolute impunity that caused him to act in the manner he did? Could it be a combination of the two? I recently watched a movie about the Stanford Prison Experiment in which a group of students were assigned roles as guards and another group, as prisoners. Within hours, the nasty, sadistic side of some of the young men materialised, once given power over their own classmates. Is this inherent in all of us? Some of us? Was it just some fluke that the guys playing guards happened to be sadists? Kudos to Spielberg for a) hiring Ralph Fiennes and b) exploring Goert's character when it would have been both tempting and entirely forgivable to simply provide the story line with a stereotypical bad guy, thug. Thanks for this video.

All it takes to make a normal person into a monster is a figure of authority. Thats it. Humans in general are weak and dispicable creatures. fortunately we are well on our way to extinction, so our stain on the planet will be gone relatively soon.

Evil resides in all of us. That’s what’s so significant about the perpetrators of the Holocaust. Except for a few exceptions, they were all ordinary people. Not sadists or psychopaths. All put in an environment no longer constrained by societal norms. Obligated to fulfill their duty to the state. These same people were funneled into a situation of chaos incomprehensible to the human psych. A system quickly spiraling out of control and beyond the control of any one man. I’m sure Goeth would have held a successful career and lead an ordinary life if events had taken a different course.

You said in your video about Calvin Candie that QT said he was trying to let people think about how the reality of the depicted events was even more gruesome than in the movie. This video stands as a great illustration of it. Plus, great way to see what somehow 'mortal and ordinary' people can do when giving proper means and pretext. Great work and great lesson.

Ray Fiennes did a remarkable job playing a monster. We need to remember that Ray Fiennes is just the actor and he is not the monster in real life.

Schindlers list was dedicated to the victims of the holocaust. No matter how good Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goeth was but giving the oscar to a role that is based on one of the cruelest people that ever lived would have left a bitter taste in many people's mouth. Amon Goeth wasn't a fictional character and many of his victims who participated in the movie were still alive in 1993.

Many sociopaths will live in hiding of theyre true desires until they get the opportunity like he did.
