There is a scene in Schindler's List

[Nintii]

I saw Schindler's List a very long time ago and so I cannot remember much of it except for the scene where the PEOPLE were in the box cars and were close to death because of the extreme heat and lack of water ... and Schindler I think it was, was desperatly trying to get the soldeirs to turn on the hosepipe and spray water into the box cars.

 

I remember that part because it stunned me that people could be so cruel to others ... they weren't even treated like animals, because even animals get water, no, they were treated like garbage that was to be thrown out.

 

I didn't really want to mention this but my older brother's father was Jewish (which makes him Jewish) - let's just say that there are some things that a mother only tells her daughter and let's leave it at that - and anyway, his parents were fortunate enough to escape the death camps in time but their other family members thought that it would all work out ... but it didn't and they died.

I love my brother very much.

you should watch the movie again

the scene you describe is very interesting

as you remember, schindler is the one tho suggests hosing the people in the charts, so to prevent them from boiling in the heat. the interesting thing is, he just throws the suggestion out there, and amon and the other nazi officers aggree - almost immediately - but rather out of a... curious thrill, instead of actual compassion.

its almost as if the idea of helping jews is SO unthinkable to them, it becomes comical - to the point that they gladly help, only for the absurdity of it

like when schindler asks for a hose, amon cracks up and asks another officer for firehoses.

the officer replies "where's the fire?", they all laugh together

the officer then - while giggling - explains that he can attach hoses together, and actually reach the train

 

its a very interesting scene, and a good analysis of human psyche
