The death of Schindler’s mother caused a rift between him and his father. His eventual wife, Emilie, however, is religious like his mother.
Schindler grew up racing motorcycles and turns out to be more similar to his father. Schindler’s father was a heavy drinker and not much of a churchgoer, while Schindler’s mother was a devout Catholic. He is a Sudeten German from Moravia, which was once part of Austria but is now part of Czechoslovakia. Schindler first comes to Cracow soon after September 1939, when Germany invades Poland at the start of World War II. Schindler accepts the money and tells Hirsch that the most important thing is to keep her health. During a private conversation they have in the kitchen, Hirsch offers her life savings to Schindler, hoping he will find a way to save her sister. There, he meets Goeth’s Jewish maid, Helen Hirsch, whom Goeth abuses.
