Quote #7
SCHINDLER: I am a member of the Nazi Party. I'm a munitions manufacturer. I'm a profiteer of slave labor. I am... a criminal. At midnight, you'll be free and I'll be hunted. I shall remain with you until five minutes after midnight, after which time—and I hope you'll forgive me—I have to flee.
Schindler was deeply in bed with the regime that just lost the war. He suffers an instant change of identity and will be hunted down just because of who he is. The Jews write a letter for him to show to the Russians in case he's caught, explaining what he did for them. He's not really what he will seem to be to the Russian liberators.
