Amon Goeth is the Nazi S.S. officer in charge of the Plaszow work camp. He represents the pure evil of the Nazi party. He is malicious, cold, and prone to anger and killing, sometimes shooting Jews from his balcony at random. He likes Schindler because Schindler can be as greedy and self-absorbed as he is. He thus grants Schindler his own factory and workers. Goeth struggles with his simultaneous fondness of and disgust with his Jewish maid. He is executed for war crimes at the end of the film.
