Editing Amon Göth (section)

==Legacy==
In 2002, an interview book with Göth's daughter, Monika, was published in Germany under the name "Ich muß doch meinen Vater lieben, oder?" (I still have to love my father, don't I?). For the first time, Göth's daughter spoke of her mother, who unconditionally glorified her father until faced with his role in [[the Holocaust]], and had committed suicide after giving an interview in the 1980s.

Göth's daughter's experiences in dealing with the legacy of her Nazi father's crimes are detailed in ''Inheritance'', a 2008 documentary directed by James Moll. Also appearing in the documentary is Helen Jonas, who was one of Amon Göth's slaves at his villa. The documentary details the meeting of the two women at the Płaszów memorial site in Poland.

Göth gained renewed infamy for his portrayal in the film ''Schindler's List'', where he was portrayed by Ralph Fiennes and acted as the main antagonist.  In the film, he is portrayed as a sadistic psychopath who shoots Jews from his balcony for his own amusement. He is played by Ralph Fiennes leading to it being his first villain role the others being the voices of [[Rameses]] and [[w:c:villains:Victor Quartermaine|Victor Quartermaine]] and his role as [[w:c:villains:Lord Voldemort|Lord Voldemort]]. At the end of the film, Göth is shown at his hanging, patting his hair in place and saying "Heil Hitler" just before a Polish soldier kicks the chair out from under him. The film does not depict the execution as it actually happened with Göth's hands tied behind his back, as well as the two unsuccessful attempts at execution. The actual execution did not involve Göth giving the Nazi salute or a Polish soldier kicking a chair out from under his feet, but instead a purpose-built platform. It should also be noted that the film actually tones down Göth's villainy from how he was in real life. So terrible was Göth that when Mila Pfefferberg, a surviving Schindler Jew, was introduced to Fiennes while on the set of ''Schindler's List'', she began to shake uncontrollably in terror, as Fiennes—while in full SS-Hauptsturmführer uniform—reminded her of the real Göth. His cruel and sociopathic behavior in the film earned him a high-ranking on the "List Of Top 50 Film Villains Of All Time" and ranked as the highest non-fictional villain in that list. Some argue that Amon Göth is one of the worst people in history given his heinous and genocidal crimes he committed.
