Greatness
When a Jewish girl living in Krakow under false papers visits Schindler, she asks that he hire her parents to work in his factory.
He is infuriated with the girl and she runs from him, fearing her life and liberty. Schindler expresses his rage at Stern, whom he
accuses of harboring Jews in the "haven" of a factory. Schindler is not angry at the idea of his factory as a haven, but the fact
that such activities are illegal. However, as the atrocities of the Nazis become more apparent, Schindler begins to see the great
opportunity he is presented with. He hires the girl's parents.
Although there is no dialogue to give the viewer any direct clues, the scene in which Schindler observes the liquidation of the
