They were allowed to bring their maids/housekeepers?


If you notice in one scene when the Jewish couple are packing up their things to move, their maid/housekeeper shows going with them. She has blonde hair, and its right before the scene where the little psycho girl is throwing rocks at them leaving their apartment. I didn't realize that they were allowed to bring the "help" with them. Interesting, I wonder if some help chose to go with their employers?

I'd imagine they wouldn't have a choice. If The SS raided a house to take the family away, it's not like they came in all nice and asked who's who..they most likely told them you got 5 mins to take what you want and get outside. If they refused or argued they were shot dead on the spot. Being a servant it's not like they would be coming from a prominent family that could persuade the SS not to take their loved ones.
