The Grey Zone Page #7

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?

I thought they were taken alive.

Are you saying I'm lying?

I've kept this unit alive

nine months.

What do I care?

So you're alive.

We're all alive.

We're all shitting gold.

Make your f***ing point.

I don't want trouble.

If you want trouble, send me down

to the Doctor with her head shaved.

Take her. What do I care.

Help them.

No, we've got her.

I said we f***ing have her.

This will foul everything.

It's blood on our hands.

It's a goddam distraction.

And what do we do with her?

We figure that out.

We'll have to hide her.

And not just from them,

but from some of us, too.

We do not have time

to be dealing with this.

She was inside.

It'll be and she'll never make it.

What are you thinking?

I'm not going to kill her,

alright?

Just think think if they found her

in the barracks, which they will,

because you'll never keep her

without it'll be worse.

How can that be worse?

Worse for her.

Forgetting

what they'll do to us.

She's not even conscious. She goes

the way she would have gone.

Meet us at the store room.

I can stop you, Max.

Stop me, then. Do it!

You know we're not killing her.

Where's Schlermer?

Down the corridor.

Where's she?

He won't bring her in until

he talks with the Doctor.

Why? Get him.

Who's gonna watch?

What's to watch?

There's no one in the hall.

He won't let anyone near her.

You'd better get her in here.

Go.

I know what you think.

It's not the same.

He's scared.

We'll put her on this table.

If anyone were to find out...

I know.

We're not murderers.

I know that.

We're sorry.

I hadn't been here long enough.

- I'm talking about...

- I know what you're talking about.

- Of course.

- It doesn't mean I'd act differently.

I've aborted suicides before

and would again.

- I understand.

- Anywhere.
