1
00:00:20,060 --> 00:00:23,814
I was born on April 20, 1925,
in Peine,

2
00:00:24,020 --> 00:00:25,612
Germany, Europe,

3
00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:28,619
fourth and youngest child
of Azriel Perel,

4
00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:32,376
the owner of a shoe store,
and his wife Rebecca.

5
00:00:33,140 --> 00:00:38,931
I was born on April 20, 1925,
in Peine, Germany, Europe...

6
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:49,656
You won't believe it,

7
00:02:50,060 --> 00:02:52,356
but I remember my circumcision.

8
00:02:59,380 --> 00:03:02,531
"My God, God of our forefathers."

9
00:03:03,020 --> 00:03:05,375
"Let this child live,"

10
00:03:08,380 --> 00:03:10,291
"this child..."

11
00:03:12,740 --> 00:03:13,815
Solomon.

12
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:16,249
Solomon, son of Azriel.

13
00:03:16,780 --> 00:03:20,568
I remember my birthday
fell on the same day as that

14
00:03:20,780 --> 00:03:25,521
of the future Chancellor
or the 3,000 Year Reich, Adolf Hitler.

15
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:08,248
Father could shave his beard.

16
00:04:08,940 --> 00:04:10,496
Not now, he wouldn't.

17
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:35,833
Come on, catch me!

18
00:05:03,780 --> 00:05:05,015
Solly!

19
00:05:05,060 --> 00:05:06,698
Hurry up!

20
00:05:08,660 --> 00:05:10,378
What are you doing?

21
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:16,209
Come out!
Is it your Bar Mitzvah or mine?

22
00:05:18,620 --> 00:05:20,178
You must cut wood.

23
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:21,819
Right away.

24
00:05:22,420 --> 00:05:26,198
Bertha was jealous of me.
She wanted to be the boy.

25
00:05:26,540 --> 00:05:29,947
Had I known,
I'd have leaped out of the tub...

26
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:35,891
Can't we close up?

27
00:05:37,580 --> 00:05:39,093
In a half-hour.

28
00:06:19,660 --> 00:06:20,695
Kathi!

29
00:06:20,740 --> 00:06:22,518
What are you doing here?

30
00:06:22,740 --> 00:06:24,040
And you?

31
00:06:28,460 --> 00:06:32,612
I was bringing beer.
They broke all your windows?

32
00:06:33,140 --> 00:06:35,700
Get some clothing from my house.

33
00:06:36,180 --> 00:06:39,217
My father forbids me going
to your house.

34
00:06:41,580 --> 00:06:42,880
Wait!

35
00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:11,400
Here you are.

36
00:07:12,860 --> 00:07:14,786
Isaac was looking for you.

37
00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:35,490
My father was from Lodz,

38
00:07:35,820 --> 00:07:37,055
so we moved there.

39
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:41,890
He got us Polish passports;
from now on, we were Poles.

40
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:51,575
I knew the Germans had killed Bertha,

41
00:07:51,620 --> 00:07:55,056
but I didn't want to go to Lodz.

42
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:10,600
Police!

43
00:08:12,980 --> 00:08:16,536
We lived over a cinema,
The cashier, Miss Basia,

44
00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:18,930
made me her pet,

45
00:08:19,140 --> 00:08:21,066
and let me in for nothing.

46
00:08:21,260 --> 00:08:25,704
I wanted to be an actor,
like Clark Gable or Eugeniusz Bodo.

47
00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:37,925
I wondered if her hump
was flesh and blood.

48
00:10:08,660 --> 00:10:11,175
At first I was happy about the war.

49
00:10:11,220 --> 00:10:15,099
The police would forget
the bicycle incident

50
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:17,522
and father wouldn't get angry.

51
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:52,200
Don't open!

52
00:10:52,620 --> 00:10:54,611
Please, don't open!

53
00:10:57,060 --> 00:10:58,360
David!

54
00:11:06,380 --> 00:11:07,938
You deserted?

55
00:11:09,820 --> 00:11:12,129
I never even found my unit.

56
00:11:14,940 --> 00:11:19,934
It's incredible.
I wasn't even given a rifle.

57
00:11:20,070 --> 00:11:23,095
They said there aren't enough
to be giving them to Jews.

58
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:24,698
The Germans will win.

59
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:28,651
In a day or two, they'll be here.

60
00:11:29,060 --> 00:11:30,990
All of this is your fault!

61
00:11:31,070 --> 00:11:35,209
You said we were safe here,
that they won't make war.

62
00:11:38,340 --> 00:11:40,774
Yes, it is my fault.

63
00:11:42,460 --> 00:11:46,738
The boys must leave.
Solly mustn't fall into their hands.

64
00:11:48,380 --> 00:11:49,813
Where will they go?

65
00:11:50,020 --> 00:11:51,320
Towards the East.

66
00:11:51,460 --> 00:11:53,575
As far as possible toward the East.

67
00:11:53,620 --> 00:11:55,497
They might ask us.

68
00:11:59,980 --> 00:12:01,413
It is written

69
00:12:01,620 --> 00:12:05,694
that a son never leaves his parents
in difficult times.

70
00:12:05,820 --> 00:12:07,458
It is also written

71
00:12:07,660 --> 00:12:10,777
that the son must obey his parents.

72
00:12:11,460 --> 00:12:14,816
And your duty is to watch
over your brother.

73
00:12:19,980 --> 00:12:21,280
And you?

74
00:12:22,340 --> 00:12:23,695
Couldn't we all...?

75
00:12:23,740 --> 00:12:25,666
Nothing will happen to us.

76
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:31,138
Stop it!

77
00:12:31,340 --> 00:12:33,900
They can't carry all these jars.

78
00:13:14,980 --> 00:13:16,832
Come, we'll be back soon.

79
00:13:38,460 --> 00:13:40,610
Isaac, my feet hurt!

80
00:13:41,060 --> 00:13:43,096
Come on, Solek. It's war!

81
00:13:49,420 --> 00:13:50,720
Solek!

82
00:14:04,940 --> 00:14:06,373
Wait for me!

83
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:10,976
Wait for me on the other side.

84
00:14:15,180 --> 00:14:16,898
Don't be afraid!

85
00:14:28,060 --> 00:14:31,467
Where are you going?
The Bolsheviks are there!

86
00:14:31,980 --> 00:14:33,280
The Russian army!

87
00:14:33,820 --> 00:14:36,264
They invaded from the other side.

88
00:14:36,420 --> 00:14:39,415
They made a deal!
Hitler has sided with Stalin

89
00:14:39,460 --> 00:14:42,941
and gave him the East!
There is no more Poland!

90
00:14:43,620 --> 00:14:45,620
It's the Soviet occupation.

91
00:14:48,820 --> 00:14:51,812
Wait!
I'm coming back with you!

92
00:14:52,020 --> 00:14:55,535
The Poles preferred Hitler
and wanted to turn back.

93
00:14:55,580 --> 00:14:57,935
The Jews swam towards the Bolsheviks.

94
00:14:57,980 --> 00:14:59,280
As for me...

95
00:15:02,540 --> 00:15:03,840
Help!

96
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:11,800
Take it easy!

97
00:15:31,540 --> 00:15:34,008
I was saved by a Russian soldier.

98
00:15:34,420 --> 00:15:39,161
The next day, seated on the bank,
I waited for my brother Isaac.

99
00:15:39,860 --> 00:15:41,193
But he never came.

100
00:15:42,060 --> 00:15:47,015
The soldiers took me to the Grodno
orphanage, where I stayed two years,

101
00:15:47,060 --> 00:15:49,801
with other Jews, Poles, and Russians.

102
00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:54,291
They turned me into a Soviet patriot
and a good Communist.

103
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:35,058
Young pioneers,

104
00:16:35,380 --> 00:16:38,655
for the struggle in the name
of Lenin and Stalin.

105
00:16:38,700 --> 00:16:40,000
Be ready!

106
00:16:41,420 --> 00:16:42,978
Always ready!

107
00:16:43,180 --> 00:16:46,092
Long live comrade Stalin!

108
00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:49,535
Long live

109
00:16:49,580 --> 00:16:51,654
the Republic of the Soviets!

110
00:17:05,860 --> 00:17:07,160
From your father?

111
00:17:07,420 --> 00:17:10,617
Yes, he's prisoner of the Russians.

112
00:17:11,340 --> 00:17:12,640
Solomon Perel!

113
00:17:18,420 --> 00:17:22,346
Thanks to the Hitler-Stalin pact,
I received letters.

114
00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:23,800
My father wrote;

115
00:17:23,860 --> 00:17:26,328
"Dear son,
we are happy to know"

116
00:17:26,540 --> 00:17:28,975
"that you are well and are studying."

117
00:17:29,020 --> 00:17:32,095
"All is well here.
We now live in the ghetto,"

118
00:17:32,140 --> 00:17:33,621
"as do all the Jews."

119
00:17:33,780 --> 00:17:35,175
"Don't worry about us."

120
00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:37,739
"Thinking of you gives us courage."

121
00:17:38,460 --> 00:17:41,295
"Are you eating Kosher?
Never forget who you are!"

122
00:17:41,340 --> 00:17:44,815
"Do you observe Shabbat?
Greetings to your teachers."

123
00:17:44,860 --> 00:17:47,335
"Your mother sends her love.
-- Your father."

124
00:17:47,380 --> 00:17:49,257
"P.S. Our address:"

125
00:17:49,460 --> 00:17:50,893
"Knupfergasse 7."

126
00:17:56,780 --> 00:17:58,080
Your origins?

127
00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:01,131
You left them out.

128
00:18:02,420 --> 00:18:03,615
Jewish.

129
00:18:03,660 --> 00:18:04,495
Idiot!

130
00:18:04,540 --> 00:18:05,840
We know that.

131
00:18:06,340 --> 00:18:08,535
We want your class origins.

132
00:18:08,860 --> 00:18:11,977
You didn't indicate your class origins!

133
00:18:12,740 --> 00:18:14,370
He doesn't understand.

134
00:18:17,780 --> 00:18:20,374
My father had a store.

135
00:18:21,340 --> 00:18:22,640
Bourgeois.

136
00:18:24,540 --> 00:18:28,815
Solly's making an effort...
He's doing a lot of social work.

137
00:18:28,860 --> 00:18:31,304
I'll prove I'm a worthy Komsomol.

138
00:18:33,620 --> 00:18:37,135
Accepted into the Komsomol?
Where's the badge?

139
00:18:37,940 --> 00:18:39,273
There are no more.

140
00:18:44,060 --> 00:18:45,539
Stalinist puppet!

141
00:18:47,540 --> 00:18:50,651
Know what would happen
if I reported that?

142
00:19:15,740 --> 00:19:17,040
Bastards!

143
00:20:00,580 --> 00:20:05,859
The landowners and the bourgeois
keep the people in ignorance,

144
00:20:07,300 --> 00:20:11,088
encourage religious superstitions,

145
00:20:12,860 --> 00:20:16,569
and with the aid of popes,
priests and rabbis

146
00:20:16,780 --> 00:20:20,489
smother all revolutionary instinct.

147
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:26,251
Which is why we call religion
the opium of the masses.

148
00:20:44,580 --> 00:20:45,880
It's not true!

149
00:20:46,860 --> 00:20:48,564
That God doesn't exist!

150
00:20:50,460 --> 00:20:51,760
He exists!

151
00:20:52,460 --> 00:20:53,415
And where is he?

152
00:20:53,460 --> 00:20:55,098
He exists, that's all.

153
00:20:55,660 --> 00:20:56,960
In heaven.

154
00:20:57,900 --> 00:21:00,567
Does anyone else share this opinion?

155
00:21:11,020 --> 00:21:13,168
You're alone in your beliefs.

156
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:18,613
Filthy Poles!...

157
00:21:19,260 --> 00:21:20,659
What is it?

158
00:21:20,860 --> 00:21:22,418
A conspiracy?

159
00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:24,735
This discussion is pointless.

160
00:21:24,780 --> 00:21:26,338
Science has proven...

161
00:21:26,540 --> 00:21:28,974
Dirty Jew!
You're the ones

162
00:21:29,180 --> 00:21:30,661
who crucified Jesus!

163
00:21:31,260 --> 00:21:34,457
You're an obscurantist
and a racist!

164
00:21:34,660 --> 00:21:36,491
Polish fascist!

165
00:21:36,940 --> 00:21:38,240
Lords!

166
00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:39,600
Aristocrats!

167
00:21:39,740 --> 00:21:42,935
Do you know what Lenin
said about antisemitism?

168
00:21:42,980 --> 00:21:46,734
That it's a crime
as bad as counter-revolution!

169
00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:48,575
My brother was killed

170
00:21:48,620 --> 00:21:49,920
by the Germans!

171
00:21:50,300 --> 00:21:51,935
When I go back to Poland...

172
00:21:51,980 --> 00:21:52,735
Hell...

173
00:21:52,780 --> 00:21:54,484
will freeze over first.

174
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:55,735
Poland

175
00:21:55,780 --> 00:21:57,055
no longer exists.

176
00:21:57,100 --> 00:21:58,400
That's a lie!

177
00:21:58,460 --> 00:21:59,760
All right.

178
00:22:00,260 --> 00:22:03,297
Let's try a little experiment.

179
00:22:03,620 --> 00:22:07,579
You all know how to pray,
don't you? Then pray:

180
00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:11,809
Lord, as a sign of Your existence,

181
00:22:12,020 --> 00:22:14,094
send us candies from heaven.

182
00:22:16,420 --> 00:22:18,790
What are you waiting for?
Go on!

183
00:22:22,780 --> 00:22:24,080
Lord,

184
00:22:26,620 --> 00:22:28,255
send us candies from heaven.

185
00:22:28,300 --> 00:22:33,294
Louder! I heard nothing,
and your God is way up in heaven!

186
00:22:53,900 --> 00:22:55,538
Now, repeat after me:

187
00:22:55,900 --> 00:23:00,416
Beloved comrade Stalin,
send us candies!

188
00:23:56,820 --> 00:23:58,120
War!

189
00:23:59,260 --> 00:24:00,741
Hitler has attacked!

190
00:24:47,220 --> 00:24:49,072
You're crazy! Dirty slut!

191
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:50,935
I'm requisitioning the truck!

192
00:24:50,980 --> 00:24:53,210
Climb in, boys, quick!

193
00:24:53,620 --> 00:24:54,815
This is sabotage!

194
00:24:54,860 --> 00:24:58,215
You are sabotaging the orders
of the Soviet leaders!

195
00:24:58,260 --> 00:24:59,560
Your leaders

196
00:24:59,620 --> 00:25:01,101
have flown the coop!

197
00:25:06,060 --> 00:25:08,130
Do what you want!

198
00:26:23,420 --> 00:26:24,933
On your feet!

199
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:28,000
Hands up!

200
00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:55,856
Jews step forward!
You don't understand?

201
00:26:56,060 --> 00:26:59,450
Jews, out front!
Get a move on!

202
00:26:59,740 --> 00:27:01,617
Faster! Move it!

203
00:27:02,180 --> 00:27:03,480
Papers!

204
00:27:03,860 --> 00:27:05,771
No! Armenian!

205
00:27:05,980 --> 00:27:07,280
I am Armenian!

206
00:27:12,820 --> 00:27:17,450
I'm not a Jew!
Check it, please!

207
00:27:21,900 --> 00:27:23,200
Good idea!

208
00:27:23,660 --> 00:27:25,093
We'll check it.

209
00:27:31,420 --> 00:27:32,720
Armenian?

210
00:27:32,820 --> 00:27:36,746
And what is that?
Wanted to bugger us with your cock?

211
00:27:38,740 --> 00:27:40,370
What'll they do to us?

212
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:43,685
They'll shoot Jews
and political prisoners.

213
00:27:43,780 --> 00:27:47,015
I know, I was already captured.
The camps for the others.

214
00:27:47,060 --> 00:27:49,282
It's shameful to spread panic!

215
00:27:54,540 --> 00:27:56,371
Destroy your papers!

216
00:28:06,780 --> 00:28:08,080
I'd rather die

217
00:28:08,420 --> 00:28:09,775
than renounce the Party.

218
00:28:09,820 --> 00:28:11,120
Die then,

219
00:28:11,460 --> 00:28:12,760
for the homeland,

220
00:28:13,220 --> 00:28:14,520
for Stalin!

221
00:28:19,380 --> 00:28:21,052
Let's see those.

222
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,207
Hands behind heads!

223
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,300
Papers!

224
00:28:56,860 --> 00:28:58,160
Quick!

225
00:29:07,180 --> 00:29:08,958
Where are you taking me?

226
00:29:31,660 --> 00:29:32,960
They were stolen.

227
00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:35,095
You speak German well.

228
00:29:35,140 --> 00:29:36,440
I am German.

229
00:29:36,740 --> 00:29:37,735
What are you doing here?

230
00:29:37,780 --> 00:29:39,133
Maybe he's a Jew?

231
00:29:42,740 --> 00:29:46,779
I am German...
a pure-bred German.

232
00:29:47,500 --> 00:29:48,975
A German from Grodno.

233
00:29:49,020 --> 00:29:51,090
From a Bolshevik orphanage.

234
00:29:51,340 --> 00:29:52,640
I can smell Jews.

235
00:29:54,140 --> 00:29:56,370
I'm a German from Grodno.

236
00:29:56,620 --> 00:29:58,694
The Bolsheviks put me there.

237
00:29:59,220 --> 00:30:02,776
Schulz! Carry on!
I'll take him to the sergeant.

238
00:30:14,620 --> 00:30:18,090
Amazing to find a diamond
among such filth.

239
00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:19,535
Who's asking you?

240
00:30:19,580 --> 00:30:22,913
You made your report,
move on! Nothing to do?

241
00:30:23,060 --> 00:30:25,282
You're not in a Jewish School!

242
00:30:29,220 --> 00:30:30,520
Name?

243
00:30:31,340 --> 00:30:32,896
Peters. Josef Peters.

244
00:30:33,140 --> 00:30:36,337
Stop, idiot!
Your parents are German?

245
00:30:38,620 --> 00:30:40,338
We say jawohl!

246
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:45,568
Where are your parents?

247
00:30:48,180 --> 00:30:50,648
But he came from an orphanage.

248
00:30:50,860 --> 00:30:53,055
Bolsheviks would have killed them.

249
00:30:53,100 --> 00:30:54,772
Don't cry, son.

250
00:30:55,580 --> 00:30:57,650
They'll pay for this.

251
00:31:01,300 --> 00:31:02,495
Enough!

252
00:31:02,540 --> 00:31:05,577
Your papers, my boy!

253
00:31:05,780 --> 00:31:08,255
You can do nothing without papers.

254
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:09,055
You an idiot?

255
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:10,400
He's not a Jew!

256
00:31:10,940 --> 00:31:12,240
Send the kid!

257
00:31:13,220 --> 00:31:14,255
Josef, Good Heavens!

258
00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:15,707
Your name is Josef?

259
00:31:17,380 --> 00:31:18,680
Go on!

260
00:31:22,460 --> 00:31:23,939
You speak Russian.

261
00:31:24,940 --> 00:31:27,579
I ordered Jews out of line.

262
00:31:28,020 --> 00:31:29,798
This one's playing dumb.

263
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:33,412
Captain, I know Russian.

264
00:31:34,060 --> 00:31:37,175
Tell them he's not a Jew,
and if they touch him,

265
00:31:37,220 --> 00:31:38,627
they'll pay for it.

266
00:31:40,180 --> 00:31:44,298
He's not a Jew.
And if you touch him, you'll regret it.

267
00:31:45,980 --> 00:31:48,289
Watch it, Russian trash!

268
00:31:48,660 --> 00:31:50,067
Take this Jew away!

269
00:31:50,460 --> 00:31:51,575
Both of them!

270
00:31:51,620 --> 00:31:55,101
I said he wasn't a Jew!
He's the son of Stalin.

271
00:32:00,060 --> 00:32:02,210
What's the matter?
Translate!

272
00:32:02,620 --> 00:32:03,939
He said that...

273
00:32:04,420 --> 00:32:06,494
that he's the son of Stalin.

274
00:32:24,020 --> 00:32:25,320
What does it say?

275
00:32:26,260 --> 00:32:28,216
"Dzhugashvili Yakov..."

276
00:32:29,420 --> 00:32:30,720
"son of Yosef..."

277
00:32:31,740 --> 00:32:33,040
Stay here!

278
00:32:33,660 --> 00:32:36,299
Don't move!
You, move along!

279
00:32:37,820 --> 00:32:39,015
Faster!

280
00:32:39,060 --> 00:32:41,134
Where did you learn Russian?

281
00:32:41,380 --> 00:32:43,098
In school. In Grodno.

282
00:32:44,340 --> 00:32:45,747
I was a Komsomol...

283
00:32:46,220 --> 00:32:48,939
Now you obey these Fascist pigs?

284
00:32:50,620 --> 00:32:51,920
What did he want?

285
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:55,535
I didn't understand,
it's dialect...

286
00:32:55,580 --> 00:32:58,140
He'd better watch where he spits.

287
00:32:58,340 --> 00:33:01,525
He can get a bullet
for insulting a German.

288
00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:05,707
I've orders to drive them
to the headquarters.

289
00:33:14,020 --> 00:33:18,059
Come on, kid!
You're our good luck charm!

290
00:33:18,340 --> 00:33:22,266
You witnessed the Reich's victory.
The son of Stalin!

291
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:25,091
You know what that means?

292
00:33:25,340 --> 00:33:26,640
Smile!

293
00:33:54,500 --> 00:33:55,815
He speaks perfect Russian.

294
00:33:55,860 --> 00:33:57,339
He'll be useful.

295
00:33:57,660 --> 00:33:59,457
You must be hungry.

296
00:34:01,340 --> 00:34:02,640
Perel!

297
00:34:11,540 --> 00:34:12,840
He's a Jew!

298
00:34:17,029 --> 00:34:18,418
What does he want?

299
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,640
He says there's a Jew here.

300
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,300
Where?

301
00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:26,239
He says I'm the Jew.

302
00:34:26,459 --> 00:34:27,759
Who is a Jew?!

303
00:34:27,820 --> 00:34:29,578
He says it's me.

304
00:34:30,900 --> 00:34:32,215
You know him?

305
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,315
So what does he want from you?

306
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,715
I don't know.

307
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:38,980
Ask him.

308
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,713
Why, Zenek?
Why do that?

309
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:50,356
What?
Aren't you a Jew?

310
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,738
And me a Polish fascist?

311
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,100
Isn't that so?

312
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:56,595
A fine answer!

313
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:57,940
Stop!

314
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:56,713
Still alive, Jupp?

315
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,668
The Captain wants to see you.

316
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,595
Let him speak first,
answer only yes or no.

317
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,555
Stand at attention- he insists on that.
Don't turn around

318
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:29,755
when he paces.

319
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:30,875
And not a word

320
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,595
about the Communist school.
He hates them like the plague.

321
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:39,307
Watch it, you can't fool him.
One look and he knows everything!

322
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,954
Peters, to the company commander!

323
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:51,900
I'll be damned!

324
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:55,580
Age?

325
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,100
16.

326
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,592
My men are fond of you.

327
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,361
Who was your father?

328
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,060
My father...

329
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,796
my father was a shopkeeper.

330
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,399
And... you're all alone?
No relatives?

331
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,359
Would you stay as our interpreter?

332
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,955
I want to serve our German homeland.

333
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,437
You'll have plenty of chances.

334
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,430
Know who we're fighting
this war against?

335
00:38:43,240 --> 00:38:44,540
Against Russia?

336
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,909
Against France?
Against England?

337
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,433
No, my boy.
Against the Jews.

338
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,555
It's our Jewish war,
our holy war.

339
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:02,299
There's no more lebensraum. We must
free Europe of Jews and Bolsheviks.

340
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,393
Understand?

341
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:09,991
You can be proud

342
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,314
to take part in this holy war.

343
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,999
What'll we do with them?
Kill them?

344
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:21,820
Who?

345
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,060
The Jews.

346
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,340
We'll see.

347
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,674
They'll be expelled.
To Madagascar or Siberia.

348
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,140
Don't worry.

349
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,850
The Führer will find a solution.

350
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:58,872
Don't look.

351
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:00,780
No, let him look!

352
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,420
Look, Jupp!

353
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:04,715
These swine

354
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,760
killed your German parents!

355
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,390
They took your house!
See how they pay.

356
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,939
Look at the animals!
You must learn to hate!

357
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,120
I felt then how lost I was.

358
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,194
Who was my friend, my enemy?
Why be kind to me

359
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,835
and at the same time

360
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,711
kill so horribly?

361
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:39,493
What set us apart?

362
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,198
A simple foreskin?

363
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,431
"I feel German pride"

364
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,121
"in spilling my blood
for Führer and homeland."

365
00:40:47,580 --> 00:40:48,838
"German pride"?

366
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,520
Sounds a bit flat, no?

367
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:57,555
Be lyrical or patriotic.
From your description of her, the latter.

368
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,900
You can add--
What'd you call her?

369
00:41:00,001 --> 00:41:01,020
How I call her?

370
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,490
Yes, when you're alone with her.

371
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:05,853
"My little Pussy."

372
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:10,940
OK, go on writing:

373
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,566
"For you, my little Pussy,"

374
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:15,660
"I'd like to..."

375
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,074
"A shudder passes through me."

376
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,395
"The stern heart softens."

377
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,420
"And I weep..."

378
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,570
"And all I have, stands off afar."

379
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:38,359
"And all I lost is real."

380
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,996
"My guiding star."

381
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,492
That's way over her head.

382
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:06,633
Not tired?

383
00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:11,276
Not yet, and you?

384
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,831
I'm taking the watch.

385
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,300
The stars...

386
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,024
The same as in Germany,

387
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,478
but farther away.

388
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:29,733
I was never there.

389
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,239
That's true.

390
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,519
You'll make it.
Not me.

391
00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:38,020
Why?

392
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,075
I'm joking.
We'll go together.

393
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:41,527
We'll go to Berlin.

394
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,592
What did you do

395
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,518
before being a soldier?

396
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,154
"Philosophy have I digested."

397
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:54,395
"The whole of Law and Medicine.
Theology, alas, thrown in."

398
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,512
"From each its secrets I have wrested."

399
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:03,345
"Poor fool, with all this sweated lore.
I stand no wiser than before."

400
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:04,755
Know it?

401
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,100
Sure.

402
00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:07,515
I'm an actor.

403
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:08,795
A real one?

404
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,140
Obviously.

405
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:11,693
And in movies too?

406
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,195
Is it hard
playing somebody else?

407
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,800
Easier than being yourself.

408
00:43:54,240 --> 00:43:55,540
Jupp, wait!

409
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:57,601
I won't do anything!

410
00:43:58,560 --> 00:43:59,860
Wait!

411
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,153
Don't run!

412
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,287
You're circumcised.

413
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:29,780
You're a Jew?

414
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:31,780
My God...

415
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,468
No, get up.

416
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:40,719
Don't be afraid.

417
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:44,660
Forgive me.

418
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,551
Forgive me,
I couldn't have known.

419
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,578
Everything will be fine.

420
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,723
I'll be a like a friend,
like a brother.

421
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,435
There now, calm down...

422
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:05,078
Don't cry. Don't be afraid.

423
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:11,159
The Germans aren't all the same.
There are other Germans too.

424
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,075
During the holidays you lived

425
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,076
a week in the huts?

426
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,152
Jews don't have houses?

427
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,210
It symbolizes submission to God.

428
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,140
It's proof

429
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,200
of our faith in providence.

430
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,246
Bertha loved this holiday.

431
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,119
I hated Pessach.

432
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,741
Had to eat eggs dipped
in salt water.

433
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:39,877
It made me nauseous.

434
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,327
I wanted to know...

435
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,270
Do you still pray,
as at home?

436
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,307
Religion is the opium
of the masses.

437
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:09,992
Could I play a Jew?

438
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:13,801
You look too stupid.

439
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:16,220
Racist!

440
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,435
The Russians are still
on the other side.

441
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,924
We just flushed them out of here.

442
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:43,910
Jupp, over here, fast!

443
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:46,995
Take the phone.

444
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:48,447
They didn't cut it!

445
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:50,780
You understand?

446
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,584
Says he screwed her three times,
and the fourth...

447
00:46:55,240 --> 00:46:56,235
And then?

448
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:57,915
The other asks where she is.

449
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,260
So, where is she?

450
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:03,117
In Brunsk.
Says the Germans are there.

451
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,231
Cut the line.

452
00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:10,944
Russian shit!
My shoes!

453
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,635
He's aiming at a German cycle

454
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,875
with two soldiers,
he's going

455
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:20,413
to burn their ass.

456
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,384
Stay there, I'm coming!

457
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:00,900
My helmet...

458
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,551
You see,
you kissed me after all...

459
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,430
Retreat to the forest!

460
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:25,252
And so I lost my only friend...
"the other Germany,"

461
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:29,995
He left my life like Kathi,
the hunchback Basia, Inna Moyseyevna,

462
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,112
my father and mother,
Bertha and Isaac -

463
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,192
all those I'd loved.

464
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,279
I won't go on.
I can't go on.

465
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,813
I want to be myself,
to be among my own kind.

466
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,558
Comrade! Can you hear me?

467
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:48,915
Who is it?

468
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,748
Help me! I said I was
a pure-bred German,

469
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,793
but I'm from the Grodno Komsomol.

470
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:59,527
I'm a Jew...
They'll kill me if they find out.

471
00:49:59,720 --> 00:50:01,020
Where are you?

472
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,515
The trench by the bridge,
beneath your fire.

473
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,523
We forgot the line!
Been listening long?

474
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:10,798
You killed them all.

475
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,318
Ullmayer, the sergeant... Robert...

476
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,238
Good work!

477
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,416
Hey, Komsomol,
can you hear me?

478
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,130
At nightfall we stop our attack.

479
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:27,499
Get over to the river
and across the bridge.

480
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,677
There are seven
of us on a hill here.

481
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,836
Take a rifle.
Have one?

482
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:40,394
Hold it up so we recognize you.
We'll keep you covered.

483
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,194
And cut the line!
Right now!

484
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,230
Jupp! Son,
you took the enemy position!

485
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,071
And instead of deserting

486
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,078
I became the hero
of the company.

487
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:34,989
Captain, I'd rather stay
here with my comrades...

488
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,750
You've shown enough courage.

489
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,673
Now you must go to school, study.

490
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,086
And at last see the Reich.

491
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:56,311
It's an excellent school.
You should be proud to go there.

492
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,236
When the war is over...

493
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:01,838
If you want to...

494
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,709
I wrote to my wife...
we have no children...

495
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:09,716
We want to adopt you.

496
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,618
We have land in Pomerania,
you'll like it. At ease!

497
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:28,740
For my wife.

498
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,373
A special Party envoy
came out from the Reich

499
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:36,675
to bring the hero of the Reich,
future son of Captain von Lereneau,

500
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:42,127
aristocrat and staunch antisemite,
to the most elite Hitler Youth school.

501
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:47,446
Good luck, Jupp!
Greetings to the Reich! Write to us!

502
00:53:00,252 --> 00:53:05,733
I won't offer you one. A guy from the
Hitler Youth doesn't smoke or drink.

503
00:53:12,892 --> 00:53:14,299
Does it bother you?

504
00:53:14,652 --> 00:53:16,430
What else doesn't he do?

505
00:53:20,132 --> 00:53:25,607
I guess as a war hero you are entitled
to act like a man from time to time.

506
00:53:25,652 --> 00:53:26,985
Like a German man.

507
00:53:28,092 --> 00:53:30,092
Like a real German soldier!

508
00:53:34,732 --> 00:53:36,658
Puff on mine, if you like.

509
00:53:44,012 --> 00:53:45,568
How handsome you are.

510
00:53:46,492 --> 00:53:47,792
Do you know?

511
00:53:49,612 --> 00:53:51,612
My pure, little golden boy.

512
00:53:53,212 --> 00:53:54,512
Papers.

513
00:54:06,452 --> 00:54:08,896
The young man's temporary papers.

514
00:54:10,252 --> 00:54:11,731
Born April 20...

515
00:54:14,172 --> 00:54:15,579
Lights out, please.

516
00:54:29,132 --> 00:54:32,169
You were born the same day
as the Führer.

517
00:54:32,532 --> 00:54:34,680
You are dark-haired like him.

518
00:54:35,812 --> 00:54:37,112
My darling...

519
00:54:45,652 --> 00:54:47,370
so soft and tender...

520
00:54:47,692 --> 00:54:49,766
to touch him with my hand...

521
00:54:49,932 --> 00:54:52,492
his hair, his lips...

522
00:55:07,972 --> 00:55:09,272
My Führer!

523
00:55:56,532 --> 00:55:59,171
Assembly!

524
00:56:05,452 --> 00:56:07,044
Attention!

525
00:56:09,972 --> 00:56:12,770
We welcome the German
of pure breed,

526
00:56:13,412 --> 00:56:14,891
Josef Peters,

527
00:56:15,092 --> 00:56:18,880
freed by our troops
from a Bolshevik orphanage.

528
00:56:19,412 --> 00:56:21,528
Interpreter and soldier,

529
00:56:21,932 --> 00:56:24,924
he heroically served
the homeland.

530
00:56:25,292 --> 00:56:28,682
We proudly welcome him into our ranks.

531
00:56:30,892 --> 00:56:35,411
Are you ready to swear allegiance
to our Führer Adolf Hitler?

532
00:56:36,532 --> 00:56:37,832
I am ready.

533
00:56:50,412 --> 00:56:52,130
I swear before God

534
00:56:53,572 --> 00:56:55,210
by this solemn oath

535
00:56:56,572 --> 00:56:57,905
to give the Führer

536
00:56:58,972 --> 00:57:01,565
of the Reich and the German people,

537
00:57:03,092 --> 00:57:04,392
Adolf Hitler,

538
00:57:05,812 --> 00:57:08,929
Commander-in-Chief
of the Hitler Youth,

539
00:57:10,812 --> 00:57:12,848
total obedience

540
00:57:14,492 --> 00:57:16,196
and, in case of danger,

541
00:57:17,132 --> 00:57:18,432
to be ready

542
00:57:19,292 --> 00:57:21,123
to give my life.

543
00:57:24,372 --> 00:57:26,203
You can lower your arm.

544
00:57:28,772 --> 00:57:31,047
Our new comrade will see

545
00:57:31,252 --> 00:57:33,847
that the Führer has created
a community

546
00:57:33,892 --> 00:57:36,127
where all Germans are brothers,

547
00:57:36,172 --> 00:57:38,542
the world's strongest community.

548
00:57:38,612 --> 00:57:41,649
We salute him with a triple-

549
00:57:50,732 --> 00:57:51,807
♪ Sharpen

550
00:57:51,852 --> 00:57:53,922
♪ the long knives

551
00:57:54,492 --> 00:57:56,448
♪ on the pavement stone!

552
00:57:58,212 --> 00:58:01,522
♪ Sink the knives

553
00:58:01,972 --> 00:58:04,440
♪ into Jewish flesh and bone

554
00:58:05,692 --> 00:58:09,241
♪ Let their blood flow freely...

555
00:58:10,452 --> 00:58:11,752
Don't know it?

556
00:58:11,892 --> 00:58:13,844
Didn't sing it at the Eastern front?

557
00:58:13,889 --> 00:58:15,189
No.

558
00:58:15,332 --> 00:58:18,888
We'll teach you...
You'll learn everything here.

559
00:58:19,932 --> 00:58:21,232
Schwarz!

560
00:58:24,092 --> 00:58:25,407
Look after Peters!

561
00:58:25,452 --> 00:58:29,822
He's your room-mate. Get him
a uniform and show him around.

562
00:58:32,972 --> 00:58:34,272
Nice to meet you.

563
00:58:34,812 --> 00:58:36,112
My pleasure.

564
00:58:39,812 --> 00:58:42,553
It would be harder
than at the Front.

565
00:58:43,172 --> 00:58:45,527
My cover could be blown
at any moment, and then...

566
00:58:45,572 --> 00:58:49,053
"Sink the knives
into Jewish flesh and bone"...

567
00:58:49,612 --> 00:58:50,912
My flesh...

568
00:59:53,292 --> 00:59:54,592
For you.

569
01:00:09,772 --> 01:00:11,072
Be seated!

570
01:00:17,292 --> 01:00:18,773
You're the new hero?

571
01:00:20,732 --> 01:00:22,032
What's your name?

572
01:00:23,572 --> 01:00:24,988
Jupp. You?

573
01:00:25,372 --> 01:00:26,672
Leni.

574
01:00:32,772 --> 01:00:35,167
It's enough to be from the Front...

575
01:00:35,212 --> 01:00:38,287
She's the hottest bride in here,
but unapproachable.

576
01:00:38,332 --> 01:00:40,050
Isn't he cute?

577
01:00:43,732 --> 01:00:45,288
We pray before meals?

578
01:00:49,772 --> 01:00:53,082
Eat correctly,
with knife and fork.

579
01:00:53,292 --> 01:00:55,207
The knife in the right hand,

580
01:00:55,252 --> 01:00:57,004
the fork in the left.

581
01:00:57,412 --> 01:01:00,005
No noises when drinking,
no crumbs.

582
01:01:00,532 --> 01:01:02,807
Respect our German bread.

583
01:01:04,092 --> 01:01:05,392
Enjoy the meal.

584
01:02:43,692 --> 01:02:45,099
Attention, Goethke!

585
01:02:49,892 --> 01:02:51,883
How do you recognize

586
01:02:52,372 --> 01:02:53,964
a Jew?

587
01:02:58,132 --> 01:02:59,432
Be seated.

588
01:03:02,732 --> 01:03:04,131
Quite simple.

589
01:03:05,052 --> 01:03:09,887
The composition of Jewish blood
is radically different from our own.

590
01:03:09,932 --> 01:03:14,084
The Jew has a high forehead,

591
01:03:16,092 --> 01:03:18,322
a hooked nose,

592
01:03:18,572 --> 01:03:21,245
flat back of the head,

593
01:03:22,812 --> 01:03:24,882
ears that stick out,

594
01:03:25,932 --> 01:03:29,322
and has an ape-like walk.

595
01:03:32,012 --> 01:03:34,128
His eyes are shifty

596
01:03:34,452 --> 01:03:36,044
and cunning.

597
01:03:37,172 --> 01:03:40,209
He never looks you in the eye.

598
01:03:40,732 --> 01:03:43,371
He waves his hands,

599
01:03:43,572 --> 01:03:46,245
makes wild gestures.

600
01:03:46,612 --> 01:03:48,921
He fawns before you.

601
01:03:49,132 --> 01:03:53,364
But the minute you're distracted,

602
01:03:53,892 --> 01:03:55,670
he leaps at your throat!

603
01:04:01,692 --> 01:04:02,992
The Nordic man

604
01:04:03,292 --> 01:04:06,170
is the gem of this earth,

605
01:04:07,572 --> 01:04:09,722
the most glowing example

606
01:04:09,932 --> 01:04:11,729
of the joy of creation.

607
01:04:13,052 --> 01:04:15,348
He is not only the most gifted,

608
01:04:16,012 --> 01:04:18,401
but the most beautiful.

609
01:04:20,012 --> 01:04:23,129
His hair is clear
like ripened wheat,

610
01:04:24,532 --> 01:04:27,347
his eyes are blue
like the summer sky,

611
01:04:28,772 --> 01:04:31,730
his movements are harmonious,

612
01:04:32,532 --> 01:04:34,841
his body is perfect.

613
01:04:40,172 --> 01:04:42,083
Call me a gem.

614
01:04:42,332 --> 01:04:43,685
Science

615
01:04:44,292 --> 01:04:45,592
is objective,

616
01:04:48,612 --> 01:04:49,931
incorruptible.

617
01:04:52,092 --> 01:04:54,162
As I have said:

618
01:04:55,172 --> 01:04:58,135
understand racial differences
thoroughly

619
01:04:58,732 --> 01:05:02,486
and no Jew will ever deceive you.

620
01:05:10,212 --> 01:05:11,512
Step up.

621
01:06:13,692 --> 01:06:15,091
The eyes...

622
01:06:30,652 --> 01:06:32,483
Study his skull,

623
01:06:35,892 --> 01:06:37,192
his forehead...

624
01:06:40,172 --> 01:06:41,472
his profile.

625
01:06:46,692 --> 01:06:49,655
Through generations,
his ancestors blood

626
01:06:49,812 --> 01:06:52,256
mingled with that of other races,

627
01:06:52,812 --> 01:06:57,761
but one can still recognize
his distinct Aryan traits.

628
01:06:59,372 --> 01:07:00,691
From this mixture

629
01:07:01,252 --> 01:07:04,927
came the East-Baltic race.

630
01:07:05,692 --> 01:07:09,527
You don't belong to the most noble race
of the German people,

631
01:07:09,572 --> 01:07:12,723
but you are an authentic Aryan.

632
01:07:16,132 --> 01:07:18,202
A special bulletin!

633
01:07:31,892 --> 01:07:35,601
The heroic battle of Stalingrad is over.

634
01:07:36,292 --> 01:07:38,362
True to its dying breath,

635
01:07:38,572 --> 01:07:42,047
to its oath, the 6th Army,
under the outstanding leadership

636
01:07:42,092 --> 01:07:44,925
of Field Marshal Paulus,
fell due to

637
01:07:45,172 --> 01:07:48,887
the superior numbers of the enemy.
Generals, officers,

638
01:07:48,932 --> 01:07:53,210
and simple soldiers fought side by side

639
01:07:53,412 --> 01:07:55,323
until the last bullet.

640
01:07:55,892 --> 01:07:58,804
The army's sacrifice was not in vain.

641
01:07:59,052 --> 01:08:03,443
Our soldiers died so that
Germany may live.

642
01:08:59,812 --> 01:09:01,219
How do you whistle?

643
01:09:01,612 --> 01:09:02,912
Like this.

644
01:09:40,812 --> 01:09:42,131
Like that?

645
01:09:43,572 --> 01:09:46,647
You don't know the Reich,
you don't understand.

646
01:09:46,692 --> 01:09:51,243
We have complete liberty here.
Our school, for example.

647
01:09:51,352 --> 01:09:54,628
My father is a teacher,
Han's is a mason.

648
01:09:54,832 --> 01:09:57,585
And Hermann's is a baron.

649
01:09:57,792 --> 01:10:02,088
There is no difference among us,
we have the same chances.

650
01:10:02,352 --> 01:10:03,427
Understand?

651
01:10:03,472 --> 01:10:07,784
We are brothers, true brothers.

652
01:10:17,752 --> 01:10:19,678
I'd like to eat all of it.

653
01:10:20,152 --> 01:10:21,787
But they're out of plaster.

654
01:10:21,832 --> 01:10:24,827
You have no imagination.
And I have too much of it.

655
01:10:24,872 --> 01:10:26,650
I can't stand to see it.

656
01:10:27,992 --> 01:10:29,473
Are you still there?

657
01:10:30,632 --> 01:10:31,932
I can't see you.

658
01:10:37,632 --> 01:10:40,669
I'm going. See you tomorrow.

659
01:10:49,672 --> 01:10:53,067
Leni's sweater gave me the idea
of pulling my skin down

660
01:10:53,112 --> 01:10:55,107
and attaching in with a thread.

661
01:10:55,152 --> 01:10:58,267
If it stayed in place,
I'd never be recognized,

662
01:10:58,312 --> 01:11:00,164
and could live like them.

663
01:11:24,472 --> 01:11:25,772
Come in.

664
01:11:30,872 --> 01:11:32,205
My mother.
Jupp...

665
01:11:34,392 --> 01:11:35,692
Let's sit down.

666
01:11:41,832 --> 01:11:43,132
For you.

667
01:11:45,512 --> 01:11:48,868
I couldn't accept
such a lovely gift.

668
01:11:50,432 --> 01:11:51,751
I have enough.

669
01:11:52,552 --> 01:11:55,441
The captain's wife
sent me a package...

670
01:11:55,912 --> 01:11:57,231
we have land...

671
01:11:57,792 --> 01:11:59,187
They want to adopt him!

672
01:11:59,232 --> 01:12:01,666
Fine, we'll eat it together.

673
01:12:11,552 --> 01:12:12,787
Papa...

674
01:12:12,832 --> 01:12:14,132
died in battle...

675
01:12:15,632 --> 01:12:17,588
Sit down then.

676
01:12:28,312 --> 01:12:30,704
I was told you have no parents?

677
01:12:31,272 --> 01:12:32,747
- Are they-- ?
- I don't know where they are.

678
01:12:32,792 --> 01:12:35,631
Didn't the Bolsheviks kill them?

679
01:12:36,952 --> 01:12:38,252
Gerd told me...

680
01:12:40,872 --> 01:12:43,168
Yes, they were taken prisoners,

681
01:12:43,992 --> 01:12:46,807
and then they got run over by a truck.

682
01:12:48,232 --> 01:12:50,899
Anyway, that's the official version.

683
01:12:54,472 --> 01:12:55,772
Nice picture.

684
01:12:57,512 --> 01:12:59,503
Really? It's me.

685
01:12:59,952 --> 01:13:01,427
My cousin was a painter.

686
01:13:01,472 --> 01:13:03,747
He even met the Führer,
in Vienna!

687
01:13:03,792 --> 01:13:05,125
Leni resembles me.

688
01:13:06,512 --> 01:13:09,253
Her father was dark-haired,
like you.

689
01:13:11,392 --> 01:13:12,427
Lord,

690
01:13:12,472 --> 01:13:15,657
forget not those who suffer
and are hungry.

691
01:13:16,512 --> 01:13:18,184
Comfort the lonely,

692
01:13:19,912 --> 01:13:21,664
and give your blessing

693
01:13:21,872 --> 01:13:25,023
to the orphans. Amen.

694
01:13:34,632 --> 01:13:35,951
Eat, Jupp.

695
01:13:36,952 --> 01:13:39,248
Your tears are salting the ham.

696
01:13:43,072 --> 01:13:44,372
It's nothing.

697
01:13:49,632 --> 01:13:52,430
It's been so long since I've been

698
01:13:53,632 --> 01:13:55,031
in a real home.

699
01:14:47,192 --> 01:14:48,387
Hurt?

700
01:14:48,432 --> 01:14:49,865
No, it's nothing.

701
01:14:50,112 --> 01:14:53,593
Lucky you.
Tomorrow's the annual medical visit.

702
01:14:53,872 --> 01:14:55,351
Leave me alone!

703
01:14:56,952 --> 01:14:58,252
Medical visit?

704
01:14:59,312 --> 01:15:01,985
The queer felt my balls again.

705
01:15:03,152 --> 01:15:04,665
We have to undress?

706
01:15:04,995 --> 01:15:06,295
Of course.

707
01:15:12,592 --> 01:15:13,892
My tooth!

708
01:15:14,388 --> 01:15:15,587
What's wrong?

709
01:15:15,632 --> 01:15:18,743
My tooth, it hurts so bad.
I can't talk...

710
01:15:20,072 --> 01:15:22,146
I need to go to the dentist!

711
01:15:54,432 --> 01:15:57,099
Strange, it looks perfectly healthy.

712
01:16:42,592 --> 01:16:45,407
The threading of the skin
didn't work.

713
01:16:45,472 --> 01:16:50,068
Pus formed under the thread,
and the skin slipped back.

714
01:16:50,752 --> 01:16:54,791
I couldn't flee my own body.
I still had to hide.

715
01:16:55,152 --> 01:16:58,667
No possible intimacy.
I couldn't love Leni.

716
01:17:08,152 --> 01:17:09,452
You pricked me!

717
01:17:10,112 --> 01:17:12,705
The golden insignia!
I didn't know!

718
01:17:20,592 --> 01:17:22,230
If you like, we can...

719
01:17:26,352 --> 01:17:30,061
I want to, Jupp, understand?
I really want to...

720
01:17:36,152 --> 01:17:37,782
You're much too young.

721
01:17:38,792 --> 01:17:40,225
You're stupid...

722
01:17:47,112 --> 01:17:48,412
I must go home.

723
01:17:53,592 --> 01:17:54,892
I'll walk you.

724
01:17:55,112 --> 01:17:56,412
If you like.

725
01:18:05,712 --> 01:18:07,225
You're really crazy.

726
01:18:07,752 --> 01:18:09,052
Catch me!

727
01:19:04,512 --> 01:19:07,993
I didn't know there was
a Jewish cemetery here.

728
01:19:08,872 --> 01:19:10,988
If I ever catch a Jew...

729
01:19:11,192 --> 01:19:12,492
What then?

730
01:19:12,632 --> 01:19:14,113
I'll cut his throat.

731
01:19:16,152 --> 01:19:17,559
Because he's a Jew.

732
01:19:18,832 --> 01:19:20,462
Captain von Lerenau...

733
01:19:21,552 --> 01:19:26,293
Hitler says we needn't kill them.
We'll send them to Madagascar.

734
01:19:27,152 --> 01:19:28,507
Lice are for crushing!

735
01:19:28,552 --> 01:19:29,885
The Führer said...

736
01:19:30,072 --> 01:19:34,739
The Führer didn't lose a father
in the war against this vermin.

737
01:19:37,952 --> 01:19:39,252
You hit me...

738
01:19:40,552 --> 01:19:41,852
to defend Jews!

739
01:19:43,352 --> 01:19:44,652
Forgive me.

740
01:19:46,272 --> 01:19:50,106
Nobody hits a German woman!

741
01:19:50,632 --> 01:19:52,782
Nobody! Ever!

742
01:19:53,192 --> 01:19:55,626
Especially a limp dick like you!

743
01:20:33,372 --> 01:20:34,672
Bertha!

744
01:20:46,852 --> 01:20:48,152
Father!

745
01:20:52,212 --> 01:20:53,512
Mamma...

746
01:20:54,212 --> 01:20:55,512
I'm back.

747
01:21:13,572 --> 01:21:14,872
Isaac?

748
01:21:23,972 --> 01:21:27,083
You have to hide yourself.
They're coming!

749
01:21:31,892 --> 01:21:36,188
He's Jewish too. That's why
he keeps his hands in front...

750
01:21:36,972 --> 01:21:40,453
Look for us in the Lodz ghetto,
Knupfergasse 7!

751
01:21:41,412 --> 01:21:43,323
Don't give me away!

752
01:22:15,452 --> 01:22:16,752
What happened?

753
01:22:17,092 --> 01:22:20,004
You screamed.
You had a bad dream.

754
01:22:22,572 --> 01:22:24,767
What did I scream?

755
01:22:25,372 --> 01:22:27,816
I didn't understand... Russian...

756
01:22:32,892 --> 01:22:36,168
I won't visit the Captain's wife.

757
01:22:37,332 --> 01:22:41,041
I'll go to Lodz...
to Litzmannstadt...

758
01:22:42,012 --> 01:22:43,525
Why Litzmannstadt?

759
01:22:44,572 --> 01:22:47,016
Lots of pure-breed Germans there.

760
01:22:48,492 --> 01:22:50,244
I may find somebody

761
01:22:51,292 --> 01:22:52,645
from my family.

762
01:23:16,492 --> 01:23:18,528
To reach the other side

763
01:23:18,892 --> 01:23:21,327
you must cross the ghetto by tram.

764
01:23:21,372 --> 01:23:23,076
Tram stop's over there.

765
01:23:25,572 --> 01:23:27,646
Off limits, even to Germans.

766
01:24:07,312 --> 01:24:09,542
Sit down, you're in the way.

767
01:25:19,392 --> 01:25:20,692
Mother...

768
01:25:21,592 --> 01:25:24,185
Opening the windows
is not allowed.

769
01:25:24,312 --> 01:25:26,090
I wanted some fresh air.

770
01:25:26,192 --> 01:25:27,492
Fresh air?

771
01:25:29,192 --> 01:25:30,492
In the ghetto?

772
01:27:22,952 --> 01:27:24,783
Had it been my mother?

773
01:27:24,992 --> 01:27:29,270
I crossed the ghetto often,
but never saw her again.

774
01:27:31,632 --> 01:27:34,863
Good! Next, forward!

775
01:27:36,472 --> 01:27:38,842
You have to do better than that!

776
01:27:40,032 --> 01:27:41,863
Fine, again!

777
01:27:49,112 --> 01:27:50,107
Bad, Peters!

778
01:27:50,152 --> 01:27:51,452
Try again!

779
01:27:56,552 --> 01:27:58,110
Next, forward!

780
01:28:14,272 --> 01:28:15,830
Is Leni at home?

781
01:28:18,352 --> 01:28:22,426
She's rarely here.
She's making packages for the Front.

782
01:28:24,032 --> 01:28:25,867
Excuse me, I'll be going.

783
01:28:25,912 --> 01:28:28,631
No. Come in.

784
01:28:35,952 --> 01:28:38,174
Sit down. I'm nearly finished.

785
01:28:47,552 --> 01:28:48,427
May I help?

786
01:28:48,472 --> 01:28:50,747
Thanks, I've finished.

787
01:29:07,992 --> 01:29:11,325
In case you hadn't heard...
Leni is pregnant.

788
01:29:15,272 --> 01:29:20,087
She read that each German woman
must offer a child to the Führer,

789
01:29:20,752 --> 01:29:22,826
and thought it was her duty.

790
01:29:26,872 --> 01:29:29,067
She's been avoiding me lately.

791
01:29:29,112 --> 01:29:30,412
It's been hard.

792
01:29:32,032 --> 01:29:34,102
Leni is fond of you, Jupp.

793
01:29:34,712 --> 01:29:36,012
Obviously.

794
01:29:39,392 --> 01:29:40,692
Goethke...

795
01:29:43,712 --> 01:29:48,627
Goethke, your teacher,
said the father must be a Nordic type.

796
01:29:49,552 --> 01:29:53,340
My husband's family has many Italians,

797
01:29:55,432 --> 01:30:00,108
and Leni was afraid the child
wouldn't be racially pure enough

798
01:30:01,032 --> 01:30:03,787
to be accepted by
the Lebensborn association.

799
01:30:03,832 --> 01:30:05,147
She's giving it away?

800
01:30:05,192 --> 01:30:07,547
She's offering it to the Führer.

801
01:30:07,592 --> 01:30:09,296
And you're letting her?

802
01:30:10,552 --> 01:30:13,225
What can I do?

803
01:30:14,472 --> 01:30:17,065
I no longer understand my daughter.

804
01:30:18,072 --> 01:30:18,947
I love Leni.

805
01:30:18,992 --> 01:30:20,227
So do I.

806
01:30:20,272 --> 01:30:21,625
I have only her.

807
01:30:23,592 --> 01:30:24,892
So do I.

808
01:30:26,352 --> 01:30:28,104
I thought so, at least.

809
01:30:33,112 --> 01:30:34,593
It's Gerd, isn't it?

810
01:30:51,752 --> 01:30:55,745
Leni said you wouldn't go past
a certain limit.

811
01:30:56,912 --> 01:31:00,871
I said it was a sign of respect...

812
01:31:02,432 --> 01:31:03,732
but maybe...

813
01:31:10,112 --> 01:31:12,112
You think I didn't want to?

814
01:31:14,232 --> 01:31:17,417
I'm not made of stone.
I have feelings too!

815
01:31:30,192 --> 01:31:31,625
Tell me.

816
01:31:36,992 --> 01:31:38,823
Are you really German?

817
01:31:49,672 --> 01:31:50,972
I'm a Jew.

818
01:32:00,352 --> 01:32:04,391
I knew it.
From the beginning.

819
01:32:09,072 --> 01:32:11,905
I swear I won't betray you.

820
01:32:18,152 --> 01:32:21,428
I had to tell someone.

821
01:32:22,072 --> 01:32:24,294
I couldn't stand it anymore...

822
01:32:41,512 --> 01:32:43,468
Don't tell Leni.

823
01:32:44,832 --> 01:32:46,345
Children today

824
01:32:47,752 --> 01:32:49,743
are so different...

825
01:32:54,792 --> 01:32:58,910
Scum! Get up!
You call yourself a friend?

826
01:33:01,592 --> 01:33:02,925
What's the matter?

827
01:33:07,152 --> 01:33:08,452
I didn't want to!

828
01:33:17,112 --> 01:33:18,784
Where were you?

829
01:33:19,512 --> 01:33:21,882
Bring your papers to the police.

830
01:33:23,672 --> 01:33:25,820
Some detail to be cleared up.

831
01:33:27,752 --> 01:33:31,974
I'll walk you. If we're fast,
we can arrive before class.

832
01:33:50,512 --> 01:33:51,812
Name?

833
01:33:55,712 --> 01:33:57,012
Which Peters?

834
01:33:57,392 --> 01:34:00,207
My parents came to Grodno from Latvia.

835
01:34:00,272 --> 01:34:01,572
I knew a Peters,

836
01:34:02,152 --> 01:34:03,471
but from Danzig.

837
01:34:05,432 --> 01:34:08,025
So many papers are missing there...

838
01:34:20,072 --> 01:34:21,372
Serviceman...

839
01:34:24,352 --> 01:34:26,574
Certificate of German Purity?!

840
01:34:29,112 --> 01:34:30,816
It's still in Grodno...

841
01:34:30,992 --> 01:34:32,710
We must request it

842
01:34:32,912 --> 01:34:34,470
to avoid problems.

843
01:34:36,672 --> 01:34:40,079
If the Russians take Grodno,
you're in for it.

844
01:34:41,112 --> 01:34:42,412
So maybe...

845
01:34:43,432 --> 01:34:46,469
Our General Staff has a brilliant plan:

846
01:34:47,752 --> 01:34:51,586
To fake a retreat on all fronts...

847
01:34:52,512 --> 01:34:55,549
and then,
when all seems lost,

848
01:34:56,032 --> 01:34:58,254
the Führer gives the signal...

849
01:34:58,392 --> 01:35:02,385
and with our miracle weapon,
we annihilate the enemy!

850
01:35:09,272 --> 01:35:11,642
I saw the Führer only last week.

851
01:35:12,072 --> 01:35:14,711
He is confident in our victory.

852
01:35:20,072 --> 01:35:22,711
I'll write today to Grodno.

853
01:35:23,472 --> 01:35:27,842
After the victory,
we will need 10,000 trained young men,

854
01:35:28,152 --> 01:35:30,666
and you are one of them!

855
01:35:31,912 --> 01:35:34,356
Only a miracle could save me now.

856
01:36:40,912 --> 01:36:43,208
1945
THE RUSSIANS INVADE BERLIN

857
01:36:47,872 --> 01:36:50,022
They'll kill us all!

858
01:36:50,912 --> 01:36:52,667
The Americans take prisoners,

859
01:36:52,712 --> 01:36:54,268
the Russians execute!

860
01:37:20,712 --> 01:37:22,012
For the Führer!

861
01:37:24,352 --> 01:37:28,823
What's gotten into you, Jupp!
Shoot, dammit!

862
01:37:30,112 --> 01:37:31,412
He's been hit!

863
01:37:40,712 --> 01:37:42,828
They'll get it! Shoot, Jupp!

864
01:37:47,112 --> 01:37:48,412
Jupp, shoot!

865
01:37:49,712 --> 01:37:51,111
We're surrounded!

866
01:38:03,032 --> 01:38:04,513
Where are you going?

867
01:38:04,672 --> 01:38:05,972
You're mad!

868
01:38:06,752 --> 01:38:08,310
Stop!

869
01:38:37,672 --> 01:38:39,549
I'm on your side!

870
01:38:49,312 --> 01:38:51,386
Where did you learn Russian?

871
01:38:51,472 --> 01:38:54,589
At school, in Grodno...
I was a Komsomol.

872
01:38:56,472 --> 01:38:59,384
Traitor! Spy!

873
01:39:02,272 --> 01:39:06,470
I can explain.
I was hiding... I'm a Jew!

874
01:39:09,272 --> 01:39:10,572
A Jew?

875
01:39:17,352 --> 01:39:20,901
If you were a Jew,
you'd look like this.

876
01:39:21,432 --> 01:39:22,707
Look.

877
01:39:22,752 --> 01:39:23,907
Look!

878
01:39:23,952 --> 01:39:28,343
Corpses, heads...
These children, see them?

879
01:39:28,672 --> 01:39:31,584
And this!
Look at these heads!

880
01:39:33,232 --> 01:39:35,188
Hung, shot...!

881
01:39:43,712 --> 01:39:45,012
I didn't know.

882
01:39:47,232 --> 01:39:49,223
I thought... Madagascar...

883
01:39:50,832 --> 01:39:52,132
I didn't know.

884
01:39:52,312 --> 01:39:55,110
One more who didn't know.

885
01:39:55,392 --> 01:39:56,948
Give me that, Arkady.

886
01:40:01,312 --> 01:40:02,612
Let's go.

887
01:40:18,752 --> 01:40:22,461
He's yours.
Do what you want.

888
01:40:22,992 --> 01:40:25,142
Shoot him like a dog.

889
01:40:32,352 --> 01:40:33,652
Solek!

890
01:42:22,292 --> 01:42:25,807
My parents and their neighbors
were killed

891
01:42:26,012 --> 01:42:28,456
two weeks after my leave in Lodz.

892
01:42:28,572 --> 01:42:31,527
Isaac remained for the liquidation
of the ghetto,

893
01:42:31,572 --> 01:42:34,527
then was placed
in a concentration camp.

894
01:42:34,572 --> 01:42:36,007
While I was shouting Adolf Hitler

895
01:42:36,052 --> 01:42:37,352
and courting Leni

896
01:42:37,772 --> 01:42:39,772
my family was already dead.

897
01:42:45,532 --> 01:42:48,051
We're going over to the Americans.

898
01:42:48,652 --> 01:42:51,687
I'll try to get you clothes from the camp.

899
01:42:51,732 --> 01:42:53,927
It won't be hard.

900
01:42:55,812 --> 01:42:57,112
Understand?

901
01:42:58,692 --> 01:43:01,655
But don't ever talk
about what happened.

902
01:43:02,292 --> 01:43:04,070
Nobody will believe you.

903
01:43:05,892 --> 01:43:07,192
Lift your head.

904
01:43:08,972 --> 01:43:10,750
A new life is beginning!

905
01:43:12,412 --> 01:43:13,712
Help me.

906
01:43:50,492 --> 01:43:54,047
From that moment on
I decided to be only a Jew.

907
01:43:54,092 --> 01:43:57,129
I left Europe
and emigrated to Palestine.

908
01:43:57,212 --> 01:44:01,842
And when I had sons,
I didn't hesitate to circumcise them.
