Korczak Page #3

It's shameful!

I didn't know you steal from the orphans!

What's going on?

Your soldiers have confiscated

our wagon with potatoes.

They took food for 200 children for 2 weeks!

I demand it back immediately!

- But it's a Jewish orphanage.

- Yes, it's Jewish.

- So what do you have to do with it, sir?

- I'm the director.

Is that so? But you aren't Jewish, are you?

I am Jewish.

So why don't you wear the armband?

There are human and divine laws.

You will stop being impudent in jail!

What are you doing here?

I came with Mrs. Maryna

to say goodbye to you.

That's great. You see...

I will come to meet you.

Please...

I will think of something.

I'm very glad...

Where is he?

He went to the Germans to protest.

They stole our wagon with potatoes.

He's out of his mind.

- That's just his way.

- God, she is so similar to my deceased daughter.

Come here, Pola.

- Maybe I could take her to our house...

- No, we decided children should stay together.

I'm an old freiend of Mrs. Stefa

and doctor Korczak...

And I'd like you to come visit me.

I have many children too.

You know, Polunia, you'd

be fine with Mrs. Maryna.

You could show her your

collection of stones...

You wouldn't have to clean our new house...

- I want to see your stones.

- Yes, darling.

Please ask Korczak to

agree to our proposition.

We have great papers for him and a hideout.

He could write in there.

- Yes.

- Excuse me.

I don't live in our house anymore.

You can't take the armband off.

The doctor said that until you're with me,

you don't have to wear it.

Doctor doesn't wear it either, you know?

I work at the dressmaker in Powisle!

What a shame,

what an awful shame I can't go with them.

My God, I'm going to die in here.

Calm down, director.

- Pull yourself together.

- The whole government cheated us.

They just fleed and we will get smashed.

You will get out of here

and live throught the war, director.

- How do you know?

- I just know it.

Do you bear a grudge against me?

No. War brings much suffering

and tragedy, you know.

But it also erases some

things and I think that

it won't happen again in the future.

A Pole will never persecute his brother,

only because he's Jewish.

I truly believe that.

I'm happy I could live to this moment.

Doctor Goldschmidt! Take your things!

Take care of yourself, director.

May God lead you, doctor.

Hello, doctor.

Your health doesn't let you stay in prison.

I will not talk in German.

Doctor, please.

Dr. Korczak, I know that

you speak German very well.

I remember your lecture at

the congress in Berlin, 1929.

It was excellent.

It has changed my life somehow.

You're ill, aren't you?
