The one-armed man who thanks Schindler for employing him and making him “essential” is shot in the head by an SS officer as he shovels snow the next day.

On average, cremation is one-third the cost of burial (not including the burial plot or upkeep), ranging from about $500 to $1,500, according to the Cremation Association of North America.

 Amon Goeth, commandant of Plaszow, was put on trial in Poland in 1946
The novel, Schindler's List, mentions that the Main Commission for the Investigation of Nazi Crimes in Poland estimated that 150,000 prisoners passed through Plaszow and 80,000 of them died as a result of mass executions or epidemics.
As a result of this action an unknown number of people perished, having been killed on the spot in Tarnow; others died through asphyxiation during transport by rail or were exterminated in other camps, in particular at Auschwitz.
In the movie Schindler's List, Goeth is shown mistreating Hirsch because he is sexually attracted to her, but he was frustrated because Nazi laws forbade sexual intercourse between Aryans and Jews.
