Best Answer

If you're referring to a scene in "Schindler's List" some Jewish people, who were being stripped of all their worldly possessions, thought that if they swallowed precious things then they would escape notice and later they might be retrieved from their feces. It was something done out of utter desperation, and not because they wanted to.
