In the kitchen of the villa, Schindler met Amon's maid. He found out that her name was actually Helen Hirsch. She was frightened. He told her not to be afraid of him. He kissed the middle of her forehead. She told Oskar about Amon shooting prisoners from his terrace. She gave Oskar some money that was hidden in a brick. She asked him to save her sister who was in the camp.
