The Ninth Day

Along this period, the SS Gestapo lieutenant Gebhardt tries to persuade Henri, who was born in silver-spoon and member of an influent Luxembourgian family, to convince the local bishop to give-up resisting to the Germans and write a letter to the Vatican in the name of the Catholic Church of Luxemburg convincing the Pope to support Hitler and the Nazi regime. The ambivalent Henri questions himself and the bishop what he shall do.

and she speaks a lot for you...
Yes, Please put the call through
to prison camp commander Mr. Dachau
Dear Mother, I'm here,
and getting used here
To this naughty camp life
I can only answer: Yes
and will soon be a pig of the prison camp,
can't look back, can't have sympathy to others
can only dump into it,
living under darkness silently
This is the last letter for you in the
prison camp - what do you mean?
Why men become the pig
of this prison camp?
Long live, Hitler...
Yes, thank you.
This thing is about
the prison 25639.
No, he has arrived but very sad,
there is a big mistake
Mr. Kremer is not freed,
he just got the vacation
yes, 9 days precisely
and only one rule:
if Mr. Kremer tries to escape
all the prisoned priest in Luxembourg
will be executed death without exception
Long live! Hitler!
Very sorry, this is
the order from the boss
besides, I do not totally agree
to their decision
I think you should be thankful that
I give you this vacation.
I think, I should give you this chance
for you to say goodbye
with your monther
please sit
Because your action opposed German
you're arrested at the French boundary
Please smoke! You had been
working for French government
joined the "French Luxembourg Mission"
which is against the third Empire...
and try to destory the German construction
in Luxembourg isn't it?
Mr. Kremer
You're a very good speaker
this is seen from your
anti-racism speech
Of course you have your reason!
Jesus is also Jewish
But the Jewish keep
depressing themselves
If allowable, I'll start from the story
long time ago, for all these we have
to thank for the Jesus Christ
Because of him,
we know what we have to be aware of
To us,
we have to be aware of Jewish
Even if only myself to defend the Jewish,
