Oskar Schindler: "Penganiayaan terhadap orang-orang Yahudi di Polandia...

"Penganiayaan terhadap orang-orang Yahudi di Polandia yang diduduki berarti bahwa kita dapat melihat kengerian muncul secara bertahap dalam banyak cara. Pada tahun 1939, mereka dipaksa memakai bintang-bintang Yahudi, dan orang-orang digiring dan dikurung dalam ghetto. Kemudian, pada tahun '41 dan '42 ada banyak bukti publik tentang sadisme murni. Dengan orang-orang berperilaku seperti babi, saya merasa orang-orang Yahudi dihancurkan. Saya harus membantu mereka. Tidak ada pilihan."

--- Oskar Schindler

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The persecution of Jews in occupied Poland meant that we could see horror emerging gradually in many ways. In 1939, they were forced to wear Jewish stars, and people were herded and shut up into ghettos. Then, in the years '41 and '42 there was plenty of public evidence of pure sadism. With people behaving like pigs, I felt the Jews were being destroyed. I had to help them. There was no choice.
