I would like to get involved.

I would like to help.

You will not help, Mr. Radmann.

You will lead the investigation.

And no more articles in the meantime.

You will warn the suspects.

Agree.

Gentlemen,

if we succeed to accuse

these men in Germany

it would be extraordinary.

Schmittchen!

What's up?

- No more traffic offenses.

A new life begins.

-I don't know what you want.

-We took some of the documents.

There was a list.

I need to know where it's from.

Was it in the suitcase?

I have no idea.

The release was chaotic,

we took what we could.

Why do you ask?

I am investigating the crimes

in Auschwitz.

Did you witness

any crimes during your stay?

My "stay"?

- This Schulz, what did he do?

He was an SS pig

Have you seen him killing someone?

No.

I need witnesses, Mr. Kirsch.

You have to testify.

What for?

Look around.

Skirts, "pack me a swimsuit",

pink and sky blue.

The country wants sugar glaze.

doesn't want the truth.

I have to work.

Here are the names

of the suspects.

We need their whereabouts.

In summary, they were in a camp

in Poland during the war

and the police has to find them

for killing people.

But they were soldiers.

Was it not their duty?

You will hear from me.

Good morning.

Who is going to pursue

the illegal parking now?

Location?

Still alive?

Speed ticket.

Fine 100 D-Mark.

-Inge, lend me 100 D-Mark.

-You deserve it!

But I don't have money, Radmann.

So you lose.

The prosecutor has no mercy.

-There are people who deserve to be punished.

-And you punish them all.

Only those who deserve it.

Who hears my plea

and lends me money?

I made a house on the Goethe street

and I have my fashion workshop.

So I can stop sewing curtains

to Ms. Brettschneider.

Oh, no!

Here's a fair punishment!

Nothing happened, children.

Show yourself, you cowards!

I won't shut up!

- I write what I want!

-Thomas, are you crazy?

Gnielka, please!

I told you that the article

hit the nail on the head.

Now you see?

They're everywhere.

I want the addresses of

the survivors, it's important.

You pay them a reparation,

So you have their address.

No, I'll pick you up myself.

Yes. Until then.

Schmittchen, take a dictation,

please.

Hermann Langbein is the president

of the association of survivors.

Send him a telegram.

Dear Mr. Langbein...

-Mr. Langbein.

-Mr Radmann.

Thank you for coming.

Where is the witness?

Mr. Bichinsky, what are you waiting for?

Schmittchen, the first witness.

Mr. Bichinsky was

in Auschwitz for two years.

Yes, I was there

since August, 1943

until we were liberated by the Russians

in January of 1945.

Continue, please.

Do you recognize the names on the list?
