Death?

[edit]

Why is nothing said of her ultimate fate? Is nothing known? TicklesYourTaint (talk) 12:16, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Think back to the scene in Schindler’s List where Kraków Jews are forced to build their own prison housing at the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp. Diana Reiter, one of Kraków’s first female architects, insists they are incorrectly pouring the cement foundation. She tells fellow Jews and Nazi guards that, if they continue, the buildings will soon fall as the foundation will not hold the structure. Overhearing the commotion, Reiter is brought to Amon Goeth, commandant of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp in what is now German-occupied Poland.
By this time, everyone has stopped working. Goeth quietly and intently listens to Rieter, who introduces herself and shares her architectural background. She quickly explains the problem and how to remedy it. When she has finished, Goeth nonchalantly takes out his gun and shoots her, instantly killing Rieter. Then, annoyed, Goeth turns to the other Nazi guards and tells them to redo the cement foundation in the that way Reiter had described. 2605:59C8:6337:3210:41E5:410C:4949:3D29 (talk) 00:42, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
