Lisiek Character Analysis in Schindler’s List

Lisiek is a Jewish orderly and a compatriot of Poldek Pfefferberg who meets an unfortunate early end at the hands of the Płaszów concentration camp leader Commandant Amon Goeth. Before Lisiek’s death, he and Pfefferberg get in trouble for trying to sneak through a room while Goeth is having sex.
