Bruno Ganz: Heinrich Beck

Quotes 

• Heinrich Beck : Let's drink to our new plant! Let's drink to IG Auschwitz!

• Heinrich Beck : To begin construction of a new BuNa factory you don't start with the building materials. The first thing you do is find out which way the wind is blowing. We don't want people in the vicinity to be annoyed by the stench more than necessary... Eight kilometers deep, and three kilometers wide!

• Heinrich Beck : [during his first inspection of the planned 'BuNa' - from 'Butadiene' and 'Natrium' - factory's construction site]  May I use your binoculars?... And where is the camp?

  Officer : Over there, about seven kilometers as the crow flies.

  Heinrich Beck : Very good. And how many prisoners are there?

  Officer : About 8,000.

  Heinrich Beck : 8,000? That's not enough!
