responsible for any further spread

of Typhus.

You know

it is impossible, what do they--

Of course it's impossible.

That's their point.

lf l cannot help myself,

how can l help you?

l will need Health Department

work passes, four - no, no

maybe five nurse's uniforms.

lt that all?

Perhaps a larger vehicle.

We will seek orphans and homeless

in the market area and specific families

we already know are willing

to let us place their children...

One of Doctor Majkowski's drivers

has volunteered, Piotr Lipinski.

Miss Irena.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Thank you, Piotr.

You understand the risk?

Only small problems,

but l am not too worried.

We will take my disinfectant truck.

- l beg you, keep them together.

- l'm sorry, it's not possible.

Sister Jolanta, please understand

whatever happens they will always

have each other.

One slip, one word in Yiddish.

They could give each other away.

How will l ever find them?

How will they find each other.

The important thing is to survive.

Take her. Please go!

Tell me, what do you want

to be when you grow up?

A priest.

Yes, very good, that's perfect!

You can do it.

Papers? Vehicle check.

What do you have in the truck?

- We have a problem. Vehicle check.

- All right. Let's go for a walk.

Our Father who art in Heaven,

Hallowed be thy name...

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done on earth,

as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who

trespass against us...

Children!

Let's show Miss Irena

how we know our bedtime prayers.

Now l lay me down to sleep,

l pray the Lord my soul to keep;

And if l die before l wake,

l pray the Lord my soul to take.

First month. Room and board.

ls there anything else l should know?

She had a brother.

- This is Adam.

- Hello, Adam!

- Does he speak Polish?

- Perfectly.

Irena.

Jacob!

l'm sorry,

l didn't mean to frighten you.

ls Eva all right, Karolyna?

Yes, everything's the same.

Eva has met with community leaders.

They want to speak about

- hiding their children.

- Of course.

You had a good instinct,

to rescue Karolyna,

it's risky but there is no other way.

And what if my wife and l do

not survive the war.

Who will claim our son?

l keep a record of every child.

And if this record or you are destroyed?

What guarantee can you give

our children will survive?

l can't guarantee anything,

not even escape from the Ghetto.

Babies pass easily but if they

can speak, they must speak Polish,

know Catholic hymns and prayers.

My children only speak Yiddish.

l understand this is very difficult.

They will need to memorize

their new Christian names,

their new home address,
