Quote #10
SCHINDLER: This car. Goeth would have bought this car. Why did I keep the car? Ten people right there. Ten people. Ten more people. This pin...two people. This is gold. Two more people. He would have given me two for it, at least one. He would have given me one, one more. One more person. A person, Stern. For this. I could have gotten one more person, and I didn't. And I didn't!
Even after all he's done, Schindler grapples with the limits of his morality: the things he didn't do that might have made a difference. The evil of genocide is on such a monstrous scale that it's impossible for anyone to feel that they did all they could. But that doesn't relieve you of the responsibility to do what you can.
