Adam Garde is a Jewish engineer in the concentration camp Płaszów whom Schindler recruits for Emalia. Commandant Amon Goeth allows the transfer but first makes Garde build a conservatory for him (and during the project, breaks Garde’s hand). Later, at Brinnlitz, Garde and Schindler listen to the radio intently after the attempted assassination of Adolph Hitler.
