So then I said...

... Tadeusz

She understood

But for that dog,

Marta would have been mine

I GAVE MAN EVERYTHING

I disliked such spectacles -

they soiled the dignity of our struggle

Of course, the punishment

was necessary...

Marta's gesture rather pleased me

I didn't suspect that it was more than

a spontaneous reaction

- Gruyre cheese?

- Yes

The men did it

Who in the men's camp could have

known of Major's taste for cheese?

Who would take revenge

on poor Weniger?

I decided to put pressure on Marta,

but then...

Take over command!

Strength 53, two in hospital

An international commission is coming.

Your command looks best

Choose a prisoner

to answer questions

- Your assistant?

- She's in hospital

- Typhus?

- No

Why not bring her to the block?

Individual care... a good impression

One of the two was Marta...

... but I still fought for her

I'm ready for punishment

I had to see her

Here you see a typical barracks

for women

Here's one of our convalescents

She is recovering, isn't she?

Yes, she's had medicine

since yesterday

Only since yesterday?

How long has she been ill?

A week

It's war, even our soldiers at the

front are often short of medicines

- How long have you been here?

- About two years

Is this your first illness here?

Yes. I've checked her medical card

No illnesses in two years?

No flu? No cold?

Do you get letters regularly?

Of course. We don't limit

their correspondence

It's not against the regulations

Do you allow visits by relatives?

That's forbidden in every country

These are political prisoners

Of course, we allow prisoners

to visit each other sometimes

- When?

- In cases of illness

Has anyone visited you?

Her fiance is a prisoner, too

Another "political" - he visited her

a few days ago

Well, Marta, did he visit you?

Yes

Congratulations! Promotion for sure!

Ober was pleased with me

and my protg,

She talked about promotion,

maybe transfer to the Reich

I rejoiced, too

Marta had finally given in to me

I planned to take her with me when

I was moved, to be my right hand

The life of the camp family rolled on,

through weekdays...

... and holidays

I rejoiced too soon

Behind my back they behaved as

though the camp barely existed

Perhaps they sensed it was

their last meeting...

... but what did I care about

such sentiments?

I should have finished her

This was the moment

I really saved her life this time

I deluded myself into thinking...

... she'd be grateful at last

Here

The Commandant wishes to see you

I'll deal with this

Roll call!

A note was found

Who wrote it?

Marta, step forward

Translate

I... too, am always close to you

in my thoughts
