Nehemiah Persoff: David Steinmetz

Quotes 

• David Steinmetz : Heinrich, an SS officer - he came to our home. He gave us cake; we barely had bread. He told me that if I could convince my neighbors to cooperate, none of us would be harmed. I was 19; if I didn't do it, somebody else would have. People lived a few months... weeks... days longer; that's what it was about. People who were not there... they could never understand.

  Executive A.D.A. Ben Stone : Your wife was there, sir; she understood very well what you did. And that's why you killed her.
