Over the past few days we have been watching Schindler’s List, and throughout the film we have seen how Amon Goeth's personality changes so drastically. At one moment he is showing the darkest and most ruthless side of him, shooting at the Jewish prisoners and beating his maid senseless. However, we have also seen how he truly feels for his Jewish maid, telling her how he feels affection for her, and how he can pardon his prisoners for failing simple tasks that would usually get them killed. Near the end, Goeth even agrees to sell his Jewish prisoners to Schindler, including his maid who he cares so dearly for. But what I want to know is, why does he change so drastically throughout the movie? Does he know what he is doing is wrong and has conflicting ideas about exterminating the Jews, like so many other Nazi officials? But if he truly felt deep down that what was going on in the camp was so wrong, why didn't he stop it? During our reading in The Kingdom of Auschwitz, we read of certain Nazi officials who did not treat their prisoners so cruelly and were never punished by the Nazis, such as the camp that was ran by Flacke. Flacke not only didn't treat his prisoners like they were subhuman, but treated them so well that he was called “Daddy” by his prisoners. So why didn't Goeth do the same?
