Helen Jonas-Rosenzweig
Helen Jonas-Rosenzweig was the maid of SS officer Amon Göth who would physically abuse her. She was originally from Kraków where she had been living with her family up till when the Nazis invaded Poland and forced her and her family into the Kraków-Płaszów labor camp where she was forced to work until on her 3rd day she was complimented by Göth on her washing skills and was ordered to work as his housemaid in his villa just outside the camp. In the villa, she shared a room with Helen Hirsch who is shown in Schindler's list. Along with Hirsch having interactions with Schindler, he would also offer hope to Rosenzweig such as ¨Remember the people in Egypt? They were freed. So you will be, too.¨ As of 2015 she is still alive and in 2004 she appeared in a film with the daughter of Göth, Monika Hertwig despite being hesitant at first due to her experience with her father.
