-I have not.

The greatest catastrophe of humanity,

Is forgotten and hushed up.

What are you talking about?

A German prosecutor who knows

nothing about Auschwitz - that's a shame.

And if they suspend Schulz,

I'll eat my hat.

We do not have any guides on Poland.

Not even one.

And regarding that...

-Auschwitz.

-Yes, Auschwitz.

There are two books about it.

One is no longer in the catalog

and the other should be in Kassel.

- Should I order it?

-Yes, please.

It will take 8-10 weeks.

How can I help you?

Mr. attorney general, can we talk?

Perfect, I want one such as this.

What's going on?

Schulz is still teaching.

I went to the school.

Acute lack of teachers.

It is up to the ministry.

It is beyond my competence

and even more of yours.

But Schulz served in Auschwitz.

All of them had camps.

Americans, Russians.

I spent half a year in a French one.

Don't tell my wife,

but they cooked better than her.

I was forced to see a movie

about it after the war.

It is all propaganda.

The winners invent stories.

We've lost the war.

Why to snoop around now?

Hello. You were right.

- What do you mean?

-The teacher still teaches.

What can we do...

The journalist was waiting for you

in your office.

Funny guy.

"The young and ambitious prosecutor Radmann

investigated the past

of the teacher Schulz.

The ministry of education

received the report on march 25

but ignoring his membership in

the Waffen-SS."

And so on. "Intolerable scandal."

Oh boy.

I would not like to be you

right now.

The general wants to see you.

Sr. Radmann, the article

contains internal information.

Did you leak it?

No.

- But why the ministry did not...

-Do not be naive.

Do you think that the Nazis disappeared

after the death of Hitler?

I assure you that it's not the case.

This is not the case.

But we can not allow

him to teach children.

We have to bring him to justice.

But serving in a camp is not a crime.

Even though it is embarrassing.

Anyway, all crimes would have

prescribed three years ago.

Except for the murder.

But is there any?

Any concrete murder?

Any particular victim?

Open your eyes, mr. Radmann.

The civil service is full of Nazis,

small and large fish.

And none of them have anything to fear.

The new evening edition!

The new evening edition!

Khrushchev renewed the ultimatum!

the 14th anniversary of Hiroshima!

- Have you gone mad?

-The article hit the nail on the head.

-I will sue you for stealing my report.

-I sh*t in fear.

I almost got fired!

You should be ashamed!

I'd be ashamed not to publish

such type of stories.

I don't understand. How can he

keep all this in secret?

How? It is easy to. They all did
