The scene at the end of the movie where Schindler begins to see every item in his possession as lives that could have been saved was striking. It goes to show what a terrible thing the Nazis were doing, where Schindler looked at a pen, and saw it as a Jewish life that could have been saved. Even though he directly saved hundreds of lives, it haunted him that he could have saved more. The scene also illustrates how insignificant Jewish lives were to the Nazis, where a pen was equivalent to one single life.
