Uprising Page #2

Synopsis: Using radically refashioned archival footage of the Warsaw ghetto, this interview with Jon Avnet the director of Uprising talks about Marek Edelman who is an evocative memoir of his role in the rebellion that held back the Nazis for almost a month in 1943. The film begins with the growing list of prohibitions and regulations leading to the virtual imprisonment of about half-a-million Polish Jews in an old slum district of Warsaw with inadequate space and plumbing. An overhead tracking shot shows the number of people assembled in the first months of the relocation. The daily struggle against hunger and disease, especially among the dispossessed arrivals seen in their pitful rags, is aggravated by the German demands for "deportations to the east" that many begin to suspect are camouflaged mass murders. By the close of 1942, people living in the ghetto realize they are doomed, and the rudiments of resistance are planned by a handful of the young, including Edelman. Following some sporadic

after finding unsanitary conditions.

About the hostages taken to Pawiak...

...we provided you

with the paperwork yesterday.

For this operation,

...for which we will expect reimbursement

from the Jewish Council.

That would be 20 zlotys per liter.

Six-hundred zlotys.

We will get you the funds.

About the other matter...

...23 hostages were taken,

some women and children...

...all because a Polish police officer

was roughed up.

-Certainly the children--

-This paperwork! Yeah, here it is.

Commissar Auerswald...

...you have appointed me to administer

to the needs of 350,000 people.

I find it impossible

to manage the community...

...under these circumstances.

And I must ask you to release me from

my position as head of the Jewish Council.

That would be inadvisable.

The fine levied on each prisoner

is 10,000 zlotys.

If the Jewish Council wishes to pay

the full fine, 230,000 zlotys...

...make sure they do so

by 6:
00 p.m. tomorrow.

You should get busy, Czerniakow.

Stop.

What are you hiding there?

Smells good.

Be better with jam, but...

...try it.

Get out of here.

No, please, it's for my father.

He's very sick. He needs it badly.

How badly?

Please.

Now...

...get out of here.

Tosia, come.

-Are you all right, Mama?

-I'm fine.

It's too dangerous to go out like you do.

Hello, dear.

Go, Rachel.

Papa?

Go.

Papa, we're going to sell a few books,

but we'll try to keep your favorites.

I think we need some more.

Do you want another blanket?

Are you warm enough?

I won't allow you. Do you hear me?

Papa.

I'm going to keep your favorites

and I'll bring back bread.

Your mother thinks I don't know

she sews for rich Polish women, but I do.

Make sure she's careful on the streets.

It's so dangerous.

Promise me you won't tell her I know.

I promise.

We have to hurry, Rachel.

-I promise, Papa.

-I go to help.

Be careful on the other side.

I will be, Papa. I will.

Now light a Shabbat candle.

Sorry I'm late.

-You heard about the ransom demand?

-Yes. It's a terrible situation.

I think now we must ask your men

to speak to the relatives of the hostages.

-See what they can contribute.

-How much time do we have?

Tomorrow night, 6:00.

For 38 years, this is on my hand.

Here.

Put it in the envelope, Mrs. Rochon.

You will get my David back.

He's a good boy.

They have no business taking him.

You are a good boy, too.

Your mother must be very proud, Calel.

Good day.

Captain Szerynski,

this is the ring you wanted to see.

So what's a pretty girl like you doing here?

Same thing you're doing, getting by.

But you're not Jewish.

So why are you in the Ghetto?

But I am.

I have to go to the other side

to make money for food.
