open old wounds

that just starting to heal.

Did you know that Bauer is a jew?

He was in a camp in 1933.

Seems he's never got over.

- Carefull, Toni!

- Marlene!

Toni, I said carefull.

Nothing has happened.

Dad, this is Johann Radmann.

We went to the cinema and he brought me home.

Pleased to meet you.

-Come, I'll make you dinner.

-Thank you.

-Debt of honor.

-No, this...

Come again.

What do you need?

I am looking for

the camp of Auschwitz.

You are totally out of your mind.

Nobody wants that.

You do not and neither do we.

Leave things as they are.

man, Hitler has gone.

The Russians are the new enemy.

I need the files of the SS men

who served in Auschwitz.

All of them.

10 million nazis.

Incredible, isn't it?

These idiots

wrote down everything.

If you believe that you can

bring them to justice

It's like believing in Santa Claus.

I only am interested in Auschwitz.

You brought a truck with you?

Here, 600,000 SS files.

About 8,000 served in Auschwitz.

But you will have to dig

them out yourself.

Thanks.

It was a machine.

What?

Auschwitz.

It was a killing machine

of 8000 sharks

large, small,

bureaucratic, sadistic...

Two months ago I had 15 names,

now I have 8,000 SS men.

That is 8,000 suspects, Gnielka.

My lasts case was

for driving without a license.

Think of it like this: the more enemies,

the greater the honor.

What do we drink to?

Veritas.

It was the motto of my father.

To the truth.

8.000 Schulzes and Brandners.

And I need witnesses for all.

-Let us in.

- What do you want?

You have to testify.

- On what?

- You are a witness, Mr. Kirsch.

I need your statement.

-I don't want to talk about it.

-Simon, please.

You must testify.

You owe it to the victims.

What do I owe to whom?

What do you want?

Didn't you have enough?

What do you want?

Do you want to investigate Auschwitz?

Do you think that you're going

to change something?

You have no idea.

No idea.

Why?

My girls.

Ruth and Klara.

So small.

We arrived early morning,

we were hundreds, thousands.

We were hungry and cold.

It was very cold.

We were surrounded by

the SS with their dogs.

Everyone, go, go,

quick, quick, in a row.

Hannah went away on a truck.

Suddenly there was... this doctor.

He wore white gloves.

Looked like an angel.

He was very calm.

He knelt down to see Ruth and Klara.

He stroked Ruth's head,

smiled, and said:

"Your twins are cute.

I'll take them to my station."

And I thought he was a doctor,

that they would be safe.

Then the others told me

what Mengele does with twins.

He tortured them

with his experiments.

Injected viruses,

typhus, tuberculosis, diphtheria.

Cut them open without anesthesia.
