Escape From Sobibor Page #2

probably is a fire. I sound like grandpa.

- What could be burning?

- Who knows.

What's happening?

This isn't a normal roll-call.

- Complete.

- Complete.

The roll-call is complete,

Herr Hauptscharfhrer.

There's something you

don't seem to understand,

so I'm going to explain it to you.

Our Commandant wants me

to make it very clear

that he is responsible for you.

For each and everyone of you here.

Somewhat like, a large family.

Today 3 members of that

family decided that they

didnt want to be with us

this evening or ever again.

Now, we could not let that happen,

could we?

We have brought these 3 foolish men back,

to be with all of us this evening.

Understand the message these

There's no escape from Sobibor.

There's only death for

those insane enough to try.

Don't any of you ever forget that.

Dismissed!

- Leon, why didn't they listen to you?

- They couldn't stand the pain anymore.

We talk about escape all

the time and we do nothing.

Maybe it's true. Maybe

there is no chance.

No, I still think there is

a way. But not like this.

There has to be organization,

there has to be patience

and some new people whose spirits

have not yet been broken.

Yes, I want a chance to escape. To be free

or at least a chance to die trying.

Better to escape and live.

That would be real revenge.

This is Commandant Reichleitner.

Show the commandant your wallet.

- This is very handsome. You made it?

- Yes, sir.

SS. The initials are appropriate.

What do they stand for?

- My name, sir. Shlomo Szmajzner.

- Can you make rings?

- O yessir. I can make, we

can make any kind of jewellery.

- Show me what kind of monogram

you would design for me.

- May I sit, sir.

- Yes, sit.

- The initials, sir?

- FKR Franz Karl Reichleitner.

- You can make that for me?

- Yes sir, but I need gold.

- Is that enough?

- See to it that these

boys get food and blankets.

- Sir, our clothes... they're filthy.

- Everything and everybody in

Sobibor has to neat and clean.

- Let them pick out what they

want at the sorting sheds.

- Yes, Herr Commandant.

- And sir, my parents and...

- Be quiet!

- Let the boy talk.

- My parents and my

sister came here with us.

- Please, sir. When can I see them?

- Don't worry about them. They're working

in the fields. They're well and happy.

I promise you, soon you will join them.

- How dare she hide the baby in

here. We can all be killed for that.

- You must get it out of here.

- And put it where? What would

you do if that was your baby?

- It's Wagner.

Good morning, ladies.

- I need someone who can take care of

rabbits. Does anyone here have experience?

- I have.

- Stand up. How did you learn?
