They remain intertwined

ones with the others.

Naked mothers

tighten their baby to their chest.

One said to me

that after death,

one is not able to separate them,

even with hooks.

I can't contact the German army.

Go with him.

Leave us.

A provocation of Gestapo.

A S.S. which defends the Jews!

They take to us for idiots.

Is Baron von Otter there?

No, I am his assistant.

Who are you?

Kurt Gerstein. He knows me.

He is on a trip.

Can I help you?

- When does he return?

- I don't know.

Elfriede!

Kurt!

Do not do that.

Stop!

I told you to stop!

I told you to stay there!

What happens?

You cannot stay here any more.

They bombard everywhere.

It is not that.

Go to Tbingen, with the children.

Let them finish the school year.

I said no, it means no!

You are right undoubtedly.

Adelheid, take along your brother to play.

If you could explain to me...

It is necessary to leave

As soon as possible.

I can say nothing else.

Is there another woman?

you make me laugh...

you make me laugh.

At least, I can still do that.

Who will look after you?

Mrs. Hinze will do.

Is she Jewish?

Did she tell you that?

Someone else?

You take too much to heart.

Do not forget that you have a family.

That is what counts...

more than all in the world.

Mrs. Hinze,

prepare my stuff.

I will call the carpenter.

The bombs already fell down.

Will you lead us to Tbingen?

My father will take you along.

I do not have the time.

There is a large black car!

I am relieved to find you.

An atrocious thing happened.

What a beautiful German family!

Don't you know?

The plane of the Fhrer

exploded on takeoff.

And was the Fhrer inside?

With Goebbels, Gring and Himmler.

And did anybody survive?

Yes...

Germany!

I had you! I had you!

I will denounce you for spreading

false good news.

The house of my father.

The bombardments damaged it.

The house of my friend

was puffed up.

Only the wall with the portrait

of Fhrer is intact.

The portrait of Fhrer

is always intact.

You are right.

You impressed

our colleagues specialists in...

Yes, impressed.

I leave...

for Theresienstadt.

I take you along.

Then you will see your manufacturer

of Czech hydrocyanic acid.

On the way, we will chat.

You are the only one

with whom it is still worth...

to chatter.

Why the only one?

Our colleagues

have a technical intelligence

but they the boasting kind,

or maybe drunkards,

or maybe degenerated.

Often, the three at the same time.

Your children

study natural science?

They are too young.

I have a splendid specimen

of judo-Bolshevik skull.

A skull?

There is no age to be informed.

I will show them.

For the anniversary of Darwin,

pure Swiss chocolate...
