The Grey Zone Page #5

Synopsis: The true story of Dr. Miklos Nyiszli, a Hungarian Jew chosen by Josef Mengele to be the head pathologist at Auschwitz. Nyiszli was one of Auschwitz's Sonderkommandos - Special Squads of Jewish prisoners placed by the Nazis in the excruciating moral dilemma of helping to exterminate fellow Jews in exchange for a few more months of life. Together, the Sonderkommandos struggled to organize the only armed revolt that would ever take place at Auschwitz. As the rebellion is about to commence, a group from the unit discovers a 14-year-old girl who has miraculously survived a gassing. A catalyst for their desperate attempt at personal redemption, the men become obsessed with saving this one child, even if doing so endangers the uprising which could save thousands. To what terrible lengths are we willing to go to save our own lives, and what in turn would we sacrifice to save the lives of others?

He's a liar.

I can't believe it's

Jews doing this.

He's lying everyone.

He's a liar.

Stop it.

You should listen

to your wife.

Think what you want to think,

but don't cause trouble.

- I'm causing trouble?

- Please.

Look me in the eye and tell me

I'm not gonna be killed.

Hang your clothes on the hooks and keep

them separate from your neighbors.

I'm gonna die, but I'll have lived

longer than you ever will.

You're dead already.

Be quiet. You think you're

gonna change something?

- That's right, what does it matter?

- At least I'll die with my dignity.

- Morris.

- Stop it!

At least I'll die

with my dignity.

How'd you get through

with here with that?

What?

The watch, is what.

They'd have killed your whole car.

What does it matter?

See what you've done for yourself

now? Give me he watch.

Why?

Give it to me.

You're bathing.

Why do you need the watch

in there?

Get it from me after

of the Nazis will.

- Do as he says, Morris.

- We always do what everyone says.

I'm not giving you anything.

You're attracting

more attention.

Tell me, tell me I'm gonna live,

you f***ing Nazi.

Tell me I'm gonna live.

Morris, give him the watch.

He's a liar, everyone.

These Jews are all Nazi liars.

And now he wants

to steal my watch.

- Give me the watch!

- No.

All I want is the f***ing watch!

No!

No! Give him the watch!

Alright, let's keep it moving.

Remember what hooks you hang

your clothes on.

The hooks are numbered. You'll need

to return once you've showered.

Keep your shoes tied together by

their laces so you don't lose them.

The sooner you shower, the sooner

you'll be fed and reunited.

Move it, move it!

Keep moving inside.

Move it!

Move it! Move it!

David.

Stay.

David?

Do you want a drink?

No, thank you.

- You have work.

- Yes.

Always so young.

Adult siblings move away

from one another.

- How's it going?

- Alright.

He'll make twins?

With German women?

That's the goal.

What's this?

A gall stone.

What are you keeping it for?

He takes an interest

in such things.

- He collects them?

- I suppose.

In jars?

That's how I'm giving it to him. What

he does with it after is his business.

So, have you heard anything?

Heard anything?

- I mentioned last time.

- I told you...

Yes?

They don't speak to me.

You found your wife and daughter.

Who told you?

Does it matter?

I don't suppose.

You've been several times.

Brought blankets, medicine.

Yes.

In C-camp, is it?

- He gave you a pass.

- Yes.

What did you think

of it over there?

Think?

Did you tell them

what goes on here?

Of course not.

Do they have any idea?

How couldn't they?

Everyone talks.

- You denied it.

- I did.

It's best.
