Oskar Schindler: Cytaty po angielsku

“What is there to say? They are my friends. I would do it again, over and over — for I hate cruelty and intolerance.”

Remark in 1972, as quoted in "Schindler : Why did he do it?" (2010) by Louis Bülow.

“Beyond this day, no thinking person could fail to see what would happen.”

Kontekst: Beyond this day, no thinking person could fail to see what would happen. I was now resolved to do everything in my power to defeat the system.

“The persecution of Jews in occupied Poland meant that we could see horror emerging gradually in many ways.”

Interview at Am Hauptbahn No. 4 in Frankfurt Am Main, West Germany (1964), quoted in The Oscar Schindler Story (2012) http://www.auschwitz.dk/id2.htm.
Kontekst: The persecution of Jews in occupied Poland meant that we could see horror emerging gradually in many ways. In 1939, they were forced to wear Jewish stars, and people were herded and shut up into ghettos. Then, in the years '41 and '42 there was plenty of public evidence of pure sadism. With people behaving like pigs, I felt the Jews were being destroyed. I had to help them. There was no choice.

“I knew the people who worked for me. When you know people, you have to behave towards them like human beings.”

Response in 1965, to Moshe Bejski, one of the Schindlerjuden, who later a became a justice on the Supreme Court of Israel and president of the Commission to honor the Righteous Among the Nations, as quoted in "Schindler : Why did he do it?" (2010) by Louis Bülow http://www.auschwitz.dk/why/why.htm.

“There was no choice. If you saw a dog going to be crushed under a car, wouldn't you help him?”

To Poldek Pfefferberg, in response to the question of why he risked so much, as quoted in "Schindler : Why did he do it?" (2010) by Louis Bülow.

“I hated the brutality, the sadism, and the insanity of Nazism. I just couldn't stand by and see people destroyed. I did what I could, what I had to do, what my conscience told me I must do. That's all there is to it. Really, nothing more.”

On his metamorphosis from a Nazi party member to a savior of Jews in witnessing the genocidal practices of the "Final Solution", as quoted in "Schindler : Why did he do it?" (2010) by Louis Bülow http://www.auschwitz.dk/why/why.htm

“Now you are finally with me, you are safe now. Don't be afraid of anything. You don't have to worry anymore.”

Greeting 300 of his women workers he had saved from Auschwitz, on their return to his factory, as quoted in "Schindler : Why did he do it?" (2010) by Louis Bülow
