CLIP DESCRIPTION:
An S.S. officer plays classical music on a piano, as the liquidation of the Krakow ghetto extends deep into the night.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Based on a true story, Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List stars Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler, a German businessman in Poland who sees an opportunity to make money from the Nazis' rise to power. He starts a company to make cookware and utensils, using flattery and bribes to win military contracts, and brings in accountant and financier Itzhak Stern (Ben Kingsley) to help run the factory. By staffing his plant with Jews who've been herded into Krakow's ghetto by Nazi troops, Schindler has a dependable unpaid labor force. For Stern, a job in a war-related plant could mean survival for himself and the other Jews working for Schindler. However, in 1942, all of Krakow's Jews are assigned to the Plaszow Forced Labor Camp, overseen by Commandant Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes), an embittered alcoholic who occasionally shoots prisoners from his balcony. Schindler arranges to continue using Polish Jews in his plant, but, as he sees what is happening to his employees, he begins to develop a conscience. He realizes that his factory (now refitted to manufacture ammunition) is the only thing preventing his staff from being shipped to the death camps. Soon Schindler demands more workers and starts bribing Nazi leaders to keep Jews on his employee lists and out of the camps. By the time Germany falls to the allies, Schindler has lost his entire fortune -- and saved 1,100 people from likely death. Schindler's List was nominated for 12 Academy Awards and won seven, including Best Picture and a long-coveted Best Director for Spielberg, and it quickly gained praise as one of the finest American movies about the Holocaust.

It still blows me away that Spielberg was essentially working on Schindler’s List and Jurassic Park at the same time. 93 was a good year for him.
He said he did Jurassic Park first, because he knew he wouldn’t want to do it after Schindler‘s list
I would have liked to see a crossover

Radar O’Reilly: “Ah Bach.”
nein its mozart
@@winstonwolfe2537 BWV 807
I think the piece the soldier is playing reflects the systematic approach the Germans took to such a horrible endeavor. Also, he plays it well - he’s clearly musically trained, probably well educated, but still part of a genocide. It shows that it wasn’t just mindless barbarians who did this, but extremely well-educated, polished people who took their time and energy to execute their plans.
Very well said
Exactly why its so frustrating that everyone marches with the media in lockstep they havent the slightest clue what everyone is capable of
Exactly the world today
I think the second two sentences in your comment are spot on!

+bit cly his name is Paweł Paradowski
+kamila piotrowska Kinda ironic that he's portraying an SS soldier while playing.
Wah he is a teacher in real life
To me it's symbolic how the soldier plays so beautifully in the midst of mass murder. It goes to show the people committing this genocide were often educated and well spoken.
People ordering the genocide*
So if you know how to play piano it means your educated?
@@JustinFedHR yes , it does mean you are well educated in culture .
@@bellaadamowicz8380 ok. Didn’t know that
@@JustinFedHR
I should clear what I said, of course it is not necessary at all to play piano to be cultured , it is just a skill, that takes many hours and of course money. For the tuition. Of course you can enjoy beautiful music without knowing how to play an instrument
Obviously you can be a lover of classical music and know how to play it , and still be a monster , culture without morale …
This scene has such an incredible sense of scope; going from a single man being found under a bed and shot, to a street littered with the dead, to an overhead of the entire town ringing with gunfire.
I thought he was already dead.
Yet still the effort to rob valuables from the same dead. Murders and yet thieves as well. It wasn't just genocide, it was profiteering as an integral part. The killing was like humans were not there. The difference with pows, was kill them and the enemy will kill yours. Nobody was killing German civilians for this slaughter, so no retribution (until they ran west when the Russians arrived in anger)
*Music Plays
Me: "Well this is a pretty inappropriate song"
*Sees Nazi playing piano
"Ohhhhh now I get it, that's genius"
J.G Productions I don't get it
i think he meant that the piece is mocking the killing that is happening, i think... @Snowman
I think it's also a juxtaposition (two contrasting things put together). It's putting the beautiful piano music right next to the killing as a way to show how even if the Nazis know how to play beautiful music they don't care about killing innocent people.
The other thing to realize is the SS Officer is probably playing to drown out the cries and screaming of people being shot and killed. Call it a coping mechanism if you will.
Just cause someone is evil doesn't mean they can't play piano
I always thought the endless machine gunning of the guy under the bed was unnecessary and far fetched until I realized that Spielberg is making the point that they are simply enjoying themselves.
The dude under the bed freaked me tf out
The senseless machine gunning was of the piano guy.

I don't know why but it's scary yet charming to see the two germans calmly walk into the room casually wondering what music he's playing despite the chaos in the background lol. God this movie is a masterpiece.
It's not funny. It's insanity.
@@Daniel-jv1ku Maybe they rather listen to music than murder people? Thought of that?
I think it has a lot to do with the music. It's not some folk tunes, It's methodically structured baroque music paid by aristocrats for the church, one considered noble and rational.
Max Power bruh are you crazy they came in the room sweating from killing people and spoke without a care about what was going on around them.
They are detached from reality.. insanity.. it is the result of war.. definitely impacts human psychology.
This scene is quite powerful. The way in which the soldiers treat their job as so banal that one of them plays the piano in the background makes it even more horrifying.

Very symbolic scene. The german people of poets and thinkers became murderers. Or in my native language: "Das Volk der Dichter und Denker wurde zum Volk der Richter und Henker."
It's not the question wether this scene happened or not! Read my comment again!
Oooo nice catch with the symbolism, very deep
gee, I guess that makes sticking Jews into trains going "east" against their will okay; whew! that's a load off my mind; by the way, this did happen; next time, try denying genocide committed by less meticulous record keepers than the Nazis--
lmaaaao yeah sticking unarmed people in trains is so justified. it can't even be justified like with the Japanese, who had a military when they were put in internment camps.
PaganHammer7 was ist denn das bitte für ein Kommentar xDD
I would hate it if I'm trying to play the piano and as if the gunfire everywhere isn't distracting enough some buffoons who can't even tell the difference between Bach and Mozart come in and start talking in the middle of the performance.

I have no idea what he saying
Radar O’Reilly: “Ah Bach.”
This scene reminds me of that George Steiner quote:
"We know that a man can read Goethe or Rilke in the evening, that he can play Bach and Schubert, and go to his day's work at Auschwitz in the morning."
And Anthony Burgess of 'A Clockwork Orange' wrote in an essay entitled "Human Perfectibility, Dystopias, and Violence:
"A commandant who had supervised the killing of a thousand Jews went home to hear his daughter play a Schubert sonata and cried with holy joy. How is that possible?"
I leave it to you. Perhaps a clue could be found in a reading of Pelagius or Saint Augustine. I happen to agree with Malcolm Muggeridge:
"The depravity of man is at once the most empirically verifiable reality but at the same time the most intellectually resisted fact.”
I really felt sad seeing this scene as am admirer of German literature and music
@@appleslover Me too
I’m sure God has a special place in Hell for those soldiers and officers
The awnser is easy. The idealogical driven soldiers didnt view the jews as humans, but as devil worshipping subhumans. Once you convinced yourself that your enemy is not human or an enemy of humanity its pretty easy to murder and abuse them without mercy or feelings of regret.
@@bytheninedivinesassaultass7316 Yes it was total dehumanization of the Jewish people, this evil on a grand scale, an extraordinary crime.
Something I never realized about this scene until recently. During the Liquidation of the Ghetto, Danka and her mother wanted to hide in that crawl space at 0:47 with the others but they told the mother she couldnt come but took Danka. Then Danka left to go be with her mother. Smartest decision she ever made.
There was also the woman who refused to go into the sewers and that turned out to be the right decision as well.
This is funny because that is actually Bach.
No, Mozart.
Patrick you're wrong.
I know boss.
nein mozart

It’s Bach. No way Mozart made something like that for piano.
His piano concertos are nice, but the style is quite different.

not sure if beautiful is the right word here
You should know all about that comrade.
For those who don't know, the piece he was playing is Bach English Suite no. 2 in A minor, first movement. It's Bach.
Bravo.
Is there a reason given why the soldier misidentifies the piece's composer?
@@ToDDHeaDD It’s symbolic. The assortment of states that would eventually become Germany were renowned for their culture. For their appreciation of art and philosophy. Bach and Mozart were both Germanic composers and widely regarded as some of the greatest artists to ever live. Juxtapose that with what the Germans are doing here during the holocaust. They don’t even recognize their once great culture anymore. They went from a nation of poets and thinkers to a nation of guards and butchers.

It is symbolism, a civilised man can be a monster at the same time. The education of man has no correlation with his monstrous behaviours.
"What is that, is this Bach, Is this Bach?"

1:58 considering it was one man who couldn't move, at less than 2m from them, I think it is safe to say it was unecessary...
For anyone who knows anything about classical music would know that was Bach, or at least not Mozart.
Yes BWV 807 English Suite.2 a-minor!
The Krakow ghetto "liquidation" scene was only a page in the script, but Steven Spielberg turned it into twenty pages and twenty minutes of screentime "based on living witness testimony". For example, the scene in which Leopold Pfefferberg escapes capture by German soldiers by telling them he was ordered to clear the luggage from the street and saluting them was taken directly from his own account.
An incredibly sad and horrifying scene. A most important history lesson to be learned. Even if you escape the initial wave of attacks, don't stay. A cleanup crew will be back later to finish off what was missed the 1st time.

To think this movie was filmed in black and white yet still so powerful goes to the strength of Spielberg as a director
Some of the most powerful films of all time are in black and white.
Black and white is always more powerful than color. Always.
It was the choice of Spielberg to have this film in black and white. The colorless scenes makes highlighting the human features much more prominent. And it instantly sets the mood of the film.
1:18 The purpose of hiding in the piano was to avoid detection by the SS, then he steps on the keys, thereby, revealing his position. *facepalm*
Mission failed, we'll get ‘em next time
And not just his position everybody

There is sadness and madness here. A cultured people becoming barbarians. Very clever use of Bach as background music
If you are talking about the piano piece, it is the Prelude from the English Suite no.2 by J.S. Bach
I think it's amazing how common Mozarts or Bachs songs were just close to 100 years ago and they were hundreds years passed already during WW2 as well, and compared to the knowledge someone may have to their songs now which would be commonly little to none.

Reminds me of a German quote: "das land der dichter und denker wurde zum land der richter und henker". Basically it means; the nation of thinkers and poets became the nation of judges and executioners. I think the piano scene perfectly visualises that quote.
The juxtaposition of the casual demeanor of the S.S. Officer and his soldiers and the horrible atrocities they’re committing is so well done. Humans are terrifying.

Maybe another piano? Pianos were very popular to most households back then, as it wss one if the few entertainment people had
So where those the sound of piano come when he walked on it ?

Chopin was a death sentence. The movie "A Song to Remember" was very popular towards the end of WW2 and Chopin's Polonaise Eroique was a frequent piece on radio.
What I got from this scene was even the educated and higher class of society can be murderers.
You can either overcome hate, or it overcomes you.
People really need to understand that as a soldier you could be shot for disobeying orders. And that like any soldier in any military in the world, they gave an oath to follow said orders. I think this really seems to be lost on so many people who can't understand why normal people commit horrible acts
