[ethereal music playing]

[voices whispering]

[birds chirping]

[music fades]

[birds chirping]

[lively chattering]

Go past me, children.

There are some to my left

and some ahead here.

[men grunting]

[man panting]

[water splashing]

[Annagret wailing]

[indistinct chattering]

[indistinct chattering]

-[Hans] No.
-[Heideraud] Yes.

-[Hans] No.
-[Heideraud] Yes.

[Rudolf singing] Sleep, child. Sleep.

[Hans] Don't sit on me.

[Heideraud] I didn't sit on you.

That's what happens
when you stamp on my foot.

[children laughing]

[crickets chirping]

[dog barking in distance]

[indistinct shouting in distance]

[indistinct chattering in distance]

[footsteps approaching]

[Rudolf] You'd better not throw
a bucket of water over me.

[Claus] No, we'd never do that.

[Rudolf] It better not make me late.

[Claus] This way… and out.

Watch out for the steps.

Feel for it… and down. Perfect.

Last step, and now, turn around.

There you go. Wait. Stand here.

[Inge, Heideraud] Surprise.

[Rudolf laughs] Is this for me?

[Heideraud] Yes.

-[Rudolf] Thank you.
-[Hedwig] Happy birthday.

[Rudolf] Where did you get it?

[Hedwig] I have my sources.

[Rudolf] One, two, three passengers.

-Who wants the first ride?
-[Claus] Me!

-You. You can have the first ride.
-[Hedwig exclaims]

-[Rudolf] The paint is still fresh.
-[Annagret crying]

Annagret will have a green bottom.

[children laugh]

[Rudolf singing song]

Coats, bags, off to school.

-[Rudolf] Thank you, children.
-Quick, quick.

[Rudolf] Goodbye.

[Hedwig] Inge, pull your socks up.

Bye-bye, Daddy.

[Hedwig singing song]

Phlox.

Phlox.

Opa la.

Would you like to smell a rose?

Smell a rose. Yes. This one.

This one is beautiful.

[whispers indistinctly]

Look, what a big dahlia.

And a ladybird. [gasps]

Yes.

[indistinct chattering]

Bronek.

Marta.

[footsteps approaching]

Upstairs, please. Then come and see me.

Sophie.

Aniela, come.

[Annagret crying]

Choose something you like.

Only one each. Take something.

[men shouting in distance]

This one needs to be cleaned,
and the lining has to be mended.

-Be careful with it.
-Of course.

-[dog whining]
-Go back downstairs.

[Annagret crying]

No.

[whining]

[barking]

[Annagret wailing]

[Annagret continues wailing]

[Rudolf] The bees are flying.

[Prüfer] it is hot, isn't it?

How was your journey?

[Sander] Long. But we're here now.

[Bischoff] Yes, indeed. So, not too bad?

No, not too bad.

Easier than last time, actually.

Excellent. Well, then, welcome back.

Absolutely. We're glad to be here.

-Should we take our shoes off as well?
-No.

Did you travel via Prague or Vienna?

Prague. It is 56 minutes faster.

[conversation continues indistinctly]

[Hedwig] She asked me where I got
one of my jackets from.

I said, "Canada."

And she asked,
"How did you get to Canada?"

-[woman laughs]
-She thought you meant the country?

[Hedwig] Yes, of course.

[woman 2] An understandable mistake.

The same thing happened
when Helga Pattisch

came for the first time.

[woman 1] Out of all of the clothes,
she chose a dress

that belonged to some little
Jewess half her size.

I could only pull the zipper up to here,
and the dress came apart.

-And I pulled and pulled at it.
-[women laugh]

She just looked down at herself and said,

"I love this dress."

In the end, she took it,

and she said, "I'll go on a diet."

[women laugh]

-[Hedwig] Would you like more coffee?
-[woman 1] Yes, please. Thank you.

[Hedwig] You take it black?

[woman 1] Black is good, thank you.

[woman 2] Helga's husband only adopted
that Polish boy to keep her at home.

That's what she told me.

And he hits her as well.

-[Hedwig] I didn't know that.
-[woman 1] How do you know that?

Haven't you noticed the bruises
on her arms?

[woman 1] I forgot to tell you something.

Guess where I found this diamond?

In the toothpaste.

[woman 2] No. Really?

How clever you must be.

[woman 1] Yes, they are very clever.

I've ordered more toothpaste
because you never know.

[women laugh]

[Hedwig] I think I told you about
the Schilling concert.

About Brigitte Frank's ermine fur coat.

Did I tell you about it?

-[woman 2] I don't think so.
-[Hedwig] Look.

[woman 2] She looks like an empress.

The other side of it is the next chamber

with the next load ready to burn

once the pieces here

have been completely incinerated.

How long does it take?

Seven hours, 400 to 500 at a time.

Closer to 500.

So, once that has happened,

you close this chimney,

then simultaneously open the next.

The fire will follow the air

through this baffle, of course,

into this chamber,
and then burn this load.

[clears throat] The chamber
directly opposite the combustion zone,

which burns at roughly 1,000 degrees,

has by now cooled

to around 40 degrees.

Cool enough to unload the ash
and then reload the chamber.

So this chamber is cooling
while this one is heating up?

Correct.

The process moves
one chamber over counterclockwise.

So, burn, cool, unload, reload.

And… continuously.

[barking]

Sh!

[dog whining]

[all] Cheers.

[dog barks, whines]

-Dilla.
-[distant gunshots]

-[officer 1] Happy birthday, Commandant.
-Thank you.

[officer 2] Happy birthday, Commandant.

It is an honor to serve under you.

Thank you.

-[officer 3] Happy birthday, Commandant.
-[Rudolf] Thank you.

Happy birthday, Commandant.

[Rudolf] Thank you.

[Hans] That is a rifle.

And this is also a rifle.

And here is one with a pistol

and another rifle here.

[officer shouting indistinctly]

Do you hear that?

It's a bittern. A heron.
A Eurasian grey heron.

[bird calling]

[officer shouting indistinctly]

[shouting continues]

-[Annagret crying]
-[Rudolf] Oh!

[Hedwig] You cried like this too.

You were even louder.

[Annagret continues crying]

[Rudolf] What's going on with her?

She's strong, isn't she?

[Rudolf] Mmm!

I'd like to try mine now.

[Annagret crying]

[Rudolf] Hmm?

[men shouting indistinctly in distance]

[machinery rumbling]

[Hans] What are you doing?

-[Claus] Hmm?
-[Hans] What are you doing?

[Claus] I'm looking.

[Hans] At what?

[Claus] Teeth.

What are you doing?

[Hans] Nothing.

[Hans grunting]

[groaning]

[grunting]

[groaning]

[clock chiming]

[chiming stops]

[Rudolf] What are you doing here?

[Inge] I'm handing out sugar.

[Rudolf] Who to?

[Inge] I'm looking.

[Rudolf] Come.

[ominous music playing]

[Rudolf] "Then a little white bird
flew past

to guide them out of the forest."

"Soon, they arrived at a huge lake."

"They were puzzled
as they did not know how to cross it."

"Suddenly, a beautiful swan
came swimming towards them."

"'Oh, beautiful swan,
please be our boat.'"

"The swan bent its neck
and came to the shore."

Bracht phoned the house.

Yes, while you were outside
for your toast.

I forgot to tell you.
He said he'd call back tomorrow, midday.

-[Hedwig sniffles]
-[Rudolf] Mm-hmm.

Rudolf.

Will you take me
to that spa in Italy again?

[Rudolf] Mm-hmm.

All that pampering.

And the walks.
And that nice couple we met.

Is she wandering around again?

No.

And that man

who played the accordion to the cows?

They loved it.

[laughing] It was so funny.

All looking at him like this.

[laughing]

Will you?

What?

Well, take me back there.

-Yes.
-When?

I don't know when.

[Hedwig] Mm-hmm.

You smell nice.

It's French.

[laughing]

Oink, oink.

[laughing]

[both snorting]

Chocolate. If you see it. Any goodies.

[Inge speaking indistinctly]

[Bracht] To the head of
the Party Chancellery

Reichsleiter Bormann. Personal.

Dear Reichsleiter,

I learned that the commandant
of the gigantic K.L. Auschwitz,

Obersturmbannführer Höss,

also well known to you,
is to be transferred.

Comrade Höss
has made unprecedented achievements

over four years of painstaking work.

I witnessed the construction
of this great camp close-up,

so I can attest.

Reichsführer Himmler himself acknowledges
the uniqueness of what he built.

Now, it is said that the task
is too big for him,

and someone must take his place.

Höss knows prisoner use inside out,

has close contacts
with the Silesian armaments industry,

and has brought groundbreaking ideas
to the whole field of KL practice.

He is a model settler farmer

and an exemplary German pioneer
of the East.

His particular strength is
turning theory into practice.

I will refrain from listing more qualities

that prove a chance
in his command is not possible.

[distant gunshot]

Therefore, could you please speak
to the Reichsführer as soon as possible

to prevent the transfer of Comrade Höss.

[gunshots continue]

I would be very grateful
for a brief reply.

Heil Hitler.

Gauleiter Fritz Bracht.

Can I do it now?

In a moment.

Did you know that storks
fly as far as Africa?

How far do you think they fly?

How many kilometers?

[Inge] 300?

[Rudolf] More.

All these weeds here.

[grunts]

[Hans] You are what you say.

[Inge] You are what you say.

Cows find this funny.

The whole farm is roaring
because you are so boring.

Cows find this funny.

The whole farm is roaring
because you are so boring.

No, you're boring.

[birds chirping]

Move away!

[Inge screams]

All is well. All is well.

[Hans] I hate you.

[Marta] Keep your eyes closed,
or it'll hurt.

[Hans] I know.

-[Inge cries]
-[Marta] Once more. All good. Come here.

[Rudolf blowing nose]

[Hans crying]

We have to rinse your eyes.

Everything's fine. You'll live.

[man on TV]
…with which 60,000 Italian spectators

showered their victorious national team.

We will be able to share in their delight.

How long has it been since Milan saw
their beloved Squadra Azzurra?

And now, they have returned
with a 4-0 victory

to the arena of their many triumphs.

Can you imagine the celebration?

4-0 against their old rival, Spain,

who are again aspiring
to a position of power

in European football,

as we Germans saw with our own eyes

in Berlin last Sunday.

[phone ringing]

But don't let the result fool you.

4-0 was the final score.

But at halftime,
this thrilling Italian-Spanish encounter…

Yes?

…stood at 0-0.

Hang up.

[radio turns off]

Fritz.

Go on.

What does it say?

Well.

No, you wrote a very powerful letter
on my behalf.

Their minds were obviously made up.

I'd better tell my wife.

She might.

-The train stopped for ages at Krakow.
-How frustrating.

[Annagret cooing]

-And it was so hot.
-[Rudolf] Hmm.

A lady fainted next to me.
It was that hot.

[Rudolf] Hmm.

She's moving here with her husband
who's an engineer. He's a lot older.

[Rudolf] Mm-hmm.

They've both got jobs
at a new factory. Siemens.

[Rudolf] Ah, yes. That's possible.

-All the big companies are here, he said.
-[phone ringing]

Yes, yes. Yes.

-Don't you need to get on?
-[phone ringing]

Yes. I'd better.

I'll show Mum to the girls' room.

[phone ringing]

[Annagret crying]

Are you ready?

You'll have Heideraud's bed,
and she'll get in with Inge-Brigitt.

You don't mind, do you?

[Linna] Of course not.

[Hedwig] The house looks big,
but it actually isn't.

The first thing we did
was install central heating.

It gets so cold in winter.

You wouldn't believe it.

[conversation continues indistinctly]

[Hedwig] Hand-painted.

-[Linna] Really?
-[Hedwig] Yes.

[both exclaim]

[imitating gunshots]

-[yelling]
-[dog barking]

This is Heideraud's bed here.

This is lovely.

Truly.

Such a lovely room.

The top two drawers are for you.

Yes, that's more than enough.

Such beautiful flowers.

[boys shouting in distance]

Yes, try it.

But I'm sleeping here?

Yes, but they're both…

the same.

[both laughing]

[sighs]

My girl.

[Hedwig] That's spinach strudel,
apple strudel, potato salad.

And your cinnamon rolls.

[Linna] My recipe? [urging]

Very nice.

-My God.
-[chuckles]

[Rudolf] Subject:

Lilac bushes
by the commandant's guard barracks.

From now on, SS members who pick lilacs

in a thoughtless

and blatant manner

so that the bushes bleed

will be punished.

I expect the SS members,
if they wish to take some,

do it in a way
that does not damage the bushes.

In the interest of our whole community,

I hope you understand

that the lilac bushes

are intended to decorate our entire camp,
both now and in the future.

[children chattering]

[Linna] Jews in the house?

[Hedwig] The Jews are over
the other side of the wall.

They're local girls.

Say hello to Grandma.

[Linna] Hello. [laughs]

My God.

He got so big,
and you have such nice hair.

[Hedwig] I think it's your turn to push,
isn't it, Hans?

Inge pushed you before,
and now it's your turn. Go on.

Let's go.

This is all us.

There's a grapevine.

Obviously, it'll grow.

[Hans, Inge chattering]

[Hedwig's mother gasps]

It's huge.

I'm speechless.

[Hedwig] It's all my design.
All the planting and everything.

The greenhouse, the gazebo at the end.

-[Linna] Is that a pool?
-[Hedwig] Yes.

I have gardeners. I couldn't do it alone.

-[Linna] With a slide? Heddy.
-Yes.

Do you like it?

[Linna] Of course I like it.
How could I not?

This was a field three years ago.

No.

We just had the lower garden
by the street,

and the house had a flat roof.

It's hard to believe.

And that's the camp wall?

Yes, that's the camp wall.

We planted more vines in the back
to grow and cover it.

-Maybe Esther Silberman is over there.
-Which one was she?

The one I used to clean for.

-She's the one who had the book readings.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Linna] God knows
what they were up to. Bolshevik stuff.

-Jewish stuff.
-Yeah.

[Linna] And I got outbid on her curtains
at the street auction.

Her opposite, she got them.

I loved those curtains.

These flowers are so beautiful.

The azaleas there.

There are also vegetables.

A few herbs. Rosemary.
Beetroot. This is fennel.

[Linna] Sunflowers.

And here is kohlrabi.
The children love to eat it.

Cabbage. Kale. Runner beans.

Pumpkins.

Potatoes and more.

We have bees over here
to provide our honey.

[Linna] It's a paradise garden.

And Rudolf is okay?

[Hedwig] Yes, he's fine.

Working nonstop, even when he's home.

Which he loves.

[Linna] He's a busy bee.

He is. Nonstop.

And under pressure
like you wouldn't believe.

And you're okay?

Do I look okay?

[Linna laughing]

[coughing]

Rudi calls me the Queen of Auschwitz.

[both laughing]

Honestly. To have all this.

You really have landed
on your feet, my child.

The linden trees are turning yellow.

It smelled so nice
when they were flowering.

[distant gunshot]

This will grow and cover everything.

-[distant gunshot]
-You'll see next time you visit.

[dogs barking]

No.

Stop it!

[dog barks]

[men shouting indistinctly in distance]

[buzzing]

[distant gunshot]

[distant screaming]

[silence]

[Heideraud] The heartfelt time
we spent in the Höss house

will always be

among our most beautiful holiday memories.

In the East lies our tomorrow.

Thanks for
your National Socialist hospitality.

And this was from Willy… Billy…

[girls laughing]

[girls screaming in distance]

[applause in distance]

[Heideraud] Ow!

[train approaching]

-[carnival music playing]
-[indistinct chattering]

[boy shouting indistinctly]

[children laughing]

[train passing in distance]

Hans says you have his sandals.

We have to leave, Mutzi.

Leave where?

Here. We have to go.
We're being transferred.

Sorry, what?

We're being transferred.

-[water splashes]
-[children laughing]

-To where?
-Oranienburg.

What?

They're swapping me
for Arthur Liebehenschel.

He comes here.

I take over as Deputy Inspector.

[Annagret crying]

If you've known this for a while,
why tell me now?

-There was no good moment to say it.
-You've said it now.

-Where are you going?
-To get the sandals.

When did you find out?

Pohl told me last week.
I tried to make it go away.

[Hedwig] Then call Bormann.

I've tried Bormann.
Should I go to Hitler now?

Well, yes.

Rudolf.

Rudolf!

Don't turn your back on me!

Stop!

Calm down. Go back to the party.

You can't do this to me!

What is this? Marta.

-[Marta] Mrs. Höss?
-What's this, "Mrs. Höss? Mrs. Höss?"

I'll show you Mrs. Höss. Mop it up!

Don't forget you live well in our house!
Bloody hell!

Now!

[carnival music continues]

Bloody hell!

[men shouting in distance]

[gunshots in distance]

Why are they transferring you?

Structural changes.

What does that mean?

They weren't specific,
but I'm not the only one being moved.

There are lots of us.

-When?
-Soon.

How soon?

I'm waiting to be told.

If it's about the investigation,
they should call Himmler.

-He encouraged us.
-No.

-So it's not that?
-It's a political matter.

-Then go to Hitler.
-Don't be ridiculous.

It's not ridiculous.

You're the one who carries out his orders

once you peel away the layers.

We have to face facts. We have to leave.

No. You have to leave.

Yes.

Your work is in Oranienburg now.

Mine is raising our children,
and I'll do that from here.

[distant gunshot]

I never thought
that you wouldn't be with me.

Never crossed my mind.

They'd have to drag me out of here.

You know that.

This is our home.

Rudolf.

We're living how we dreamed we would.

Since we were 17. Beyond how we dreamed.

Out of the city, finally.

Everything we want on our doorstep.

And our children are strong,
healthy, and happy.

Everything the Führer said
about how to live is how we do.

Go East. Living space.

This is our living space.
This is our living space.

I know you agree with me.

Arthur can find somewhere else to live.

He doesn't need to take our home.

You should make it a condition.

It's the least they can do.

He'll want a townhouse, anyway.

Rudolf?

[Rudolf] I heard you.

So?

I'll ask.

You'll be working all the time.

Yes.

-We'd never see you.
-No.

I'll miss you, of course.

[voice breaks] But you'll come home
when you can.

I'll be…

with you just like you'll be with me.

[distant gunshot]

Yes?

[Hedwig clears throat]

[Hedwig] And after the war,

when everything is over, we'll farm.

Like we said.

Huh?

[coughing]

[distant gunshot]

[gunshots in distance]

[woman screaming in distance]

[distant gunshot]

[Hedwig clears throat]

[Rudolf] Do you all understand?

[children] Yes.

So I'll be missing your birthday.

And maybe even our anniversary

depending on how long I'll be gone.

So those are some of the things
that definitely add to the struggle.

But the life we enjoy

is very much worth the sacrifice.

[Hedwig] It's time for bed.

[Heideraud] Hans, your plate.

-Be calm.
-[dishes clattering]

[distant fire roaring]

[Annagret crying]

[Annagret crying]

[Hedwig coughs]

[distant fire roaring]

[men shouting in distance]

[Rudolf] It'll be hard for you too.

I know that.

Don't you think I know that?

I know that.

I love you.

I love you, my beauty.

Call Walter Dürrfeld first thing.
See if he can join us at the selection.

Tell him they're Dutch,
and he can have his pick.

Otherwise, I'll see him at the IG lunch.

Letter to Messrs. Prüfer and Sander,
Topf and Sons.

Subject: New Crematorium.

I'm glad you were able
to make the journey last week.

SS-Obersturmbannführer Bischoff
and I both agree

the ring crematorium
is definitely the answer.

What a difference it will make.

Bravo.

I welcome your…

I welcome your suggestion

that the design should be patented
in order to secure priority.

I will follow up with a letter of intent.

You should be aware
I've been promoted to Deputy Inspector

of concentration camps at the IKL.

-[knocking at door]
-Come.

And therefore, future communications

will be from Oranienburg-Berlin.

The focus there is now on labor.

Of course,
this direction will affect our plans.

And though it pains me to leave Auschwitz,

I believe I'll be in a better position

to push for funds and materials

from there.

Heil Hitler, et cetera.

[Rudolf]
Letter to Gruppenführer Glücks, IKL.

Subject: Transfer.

Dear Gruppenführer Glücks,

I would like my family to remain

at 88 Bielitzstrasse, KL Auschwitz,
for the duration of my transfer.

It would be a great favor to me
for this to be permitted.

I must stress what a wonderful environment

Hedwig has made for the children
since settling here.

An inspiration in many ways

for our new German community in the East.

If this is acceptable,

provision of a simple lodging for myself
in Oranienburg will suffice.

I would be very grateful
for a speedy answer.

Heil Hitler, et cetera.

[gunshots in distance]

[grunts]

[Inge] Sweaty.

[Rudolf] Sh.

[foreboding music playing]

[Rudolf] "The little snow-white bird
flew down and sang,

Be warned, be warned."

"Gretel understood
what the witch had in mind…

and said, 'Please show me first.'"

"I don't know how to do that."

"The witch sat on the shovel,

and Gretel pushed her into the oven

as deep as she could."

"Then she closed the iron door
of the oven,

and secured it with a bar."

"The witch got cooked alive

as a punishment for her horrible deeds."

"Gretel ran straight to Hansel,

unlocked the goose cage, and let him out."

"He jumped out and threw his arms around
his sister's neck."

"They kissed one another,
cried with joy, and thanked God."

"The little white bird sang,

'Pearls and gems for bread crumbs.'"

[man in Yiddish] Words by Joseph Wulf.

Written in 1943
in Oswiecim, Auschwitz III.

[footsteps receding]

[piano playing] Sunbeams

radiant and warm.

[wind whistling]

[piano continues] Human bodies

young and old

and we

who are imprisoned here.

Our hearts

are not yet cold.

[piano continues] Souls afire

like the blazing sun.

Tearing, breaking

through their pain.

For soon we'll see

that waving flag.

The flag of freedom

yet to come.

[in German]
Don't forget to stand straight.

-Heil Hitler.
-Heil Hitler.

I've packed buttered bread for you all.

[Inge speaking indistinctly]

[Marta] Come on, children. Hurry.

Sophie.

[Hedwig sighs]

Tell her it's getting cold.

-[Sophie] She's not here.
-[Hedwig] What?

[Sophie] She's gone.

[Hedwig] What, not upstairs?

No, she's gone, and her case is gone.

[Hedwig] That cannot be.

Mum?

[Hedwig] Go and look for her.

[faint music playing on radio]

[clock chiming]

Aniela.

Take it away.

Was that here to spite me?

No, Mrs. Höss.

I could have my husband spread your ashes
across the fields of Babice.

[men shouting indistinctly in distance]

[water dripping]

[Rudolf] Relax, let her find it.

[Claus] Are you not going to be
a commandant anymore?

[Rudolf] I'll be head of all commandants.

Inspecting their camps
and seeing where improvements can be made.

Their yield, that kind of thing.

[prods horse]

It has a great name.

-It's girl's eye or tickseed.
-[Inge] Girl's eye?

Girl's eye, yes.

I can only guess

that's because of its serrated petals

which resemble the long eyelashes

of women and girls.

[indistinct chattering]

Guard.

Bring him here!

What's he done?

[guard] Fighting over an apple,
Commandant.

[Rudolf] Drown him in the river.

[prisoner shouts]

[guard] Come!

[prisoner shouts indistinctly]

[softly] Don't do that again.

[guard] Move it!

I don't care! Move it! Get it out!

[horses galloping]

[guard] Are you going
to stand there trembling?

Something to say?

Huh?

[gunshot]

[guard] Come!

Yeah. [laughs]

I had a black one when I was little. Elsa.

Born on the same day I was.

Apologies for absence,

Förschner, Mittelbau-Dora.

Sauer, Riga-Kaiserwald.

[Pohl] The Führer has approved
the deportation

of Hungary's 700,000 Jews
for extermination

and war production where able-bodied.

An agreement was reached
with the new Hungarian government

to begin the operation immediately.

They are being amassed
for transportation to Auschwitz.

Four trains a day, 3,000 on each.

12,000 daily.

Firstly, via the Eastern zones,
one to three.

Then via four and five
in the middle of the country,

and finally, Budapest.

Pressburg and Vienna are heavily loaded
with military transports.

Jewish transports will pass through

Kassa and Muszyna instead.

Based on estimates
provided by Obersturmbannführer Höss,

25% will be retained for labor
after selection.

20% of those will be utilized
in Auschwitz sub-camps,

and the other 80%
will come to your camps in due course.

The scale is
many times larger than before.

So prepare yourselves.

Before I hand over
to Obersturmbannführer Höss,

I'd like to announce
the promotion of Colonel Maurer

to the rank of SS-Standartenführer

for consistently hitting
his labor targets.

Bravo.

I get fan mail from CEOs for this man.

-More famous than me.
-Thank you, sir.

Well deserved.

As I've said before,
I'm grateful for your leadership.

Thank you. You have said that.
I appreciate that.

Thank you, Obergruppenführer Pohl.

-Good morning, everyone.
-[all] Good morning.

Two apologies for absence.

Sturmbannführer Förschner, Mittelbau-Dora.

Sturmbannführer Sauer, Riga-Kaiserwald.

You will appreciate
we have a very busy agenda today.

The Hungarian operation
is urgent and complex

and will involve converging challenges
at every operational level.

Please turn to the first page
in your files.

You will see five headings.

Item one. Timings.

Item two.
Redirection of construction resources.

Item three. Transportation.

For item four, prisoner workers.

Dr. Meindl from Steyr-Daimler-Puch,

some of you know him, some of you don't,

is joining us today
to discuss pay rates and incentives.

Item five. Fire and air defense measures.

[ominous music playing]

[Hans] The girls didn't want to go out.

[Claus] Yes.

Because it is so cold.

Well, I love the snow.

[Hans singing indistinctly]

Stop!

Leave me alone, Claus!

[Hans yelling indistinctly]

Stop it, Claus!

[grunts]

No, no! No!

Leave me alone, you traitor!

[Claus chuckles]

[man] Obersturmbannführer Höss.

[Glücks] Rudolf. Come on in.

How are you?

Good.

I've just received this.

Obergruppenführer Pohl met
with Reichsführer Himmler

to assess the numbers involved…

and your name came up.

[Rudolph] Uh-huh.

We're moving Liebehenschel to Majdanek.

He's not energetic enough for this.

Okay.

You'll receive operational orders
from Eichmann.

Perfect.

Tell me what resources you need
when you get there.

I will.

Any problems,
come to Gerhard or me directly.

Thank you.

-How's Hedwig?
-Good.

Pohl told me she sends the boss
flowers from your garden every week.

Yes.

Get the job done.

I will. Thank you.

I appreciate the trust and confidence
you have in me.

[Glücks] And?

[Maurer] I'm not sure yet.

[Glücks] Relax.

He won't put them all up the chimney.

You'll get your workers.

You'll see.

[Maurer] Mmm.

-[doctor] Are you sleeping okay?
-Yes.

How many bowel movements
do you have per day?

Twice per day.

Urinating?

Without issues.

I'll feel around now.
On the surface first.

If there is any pain, please let me know.

This is Höss.

Long-distance priority call,
KL Auschwitz, Höss private residence.

I'll stay on the line.

[murmuring]

Are you there?

-[Hedwig] Hello?
-Can you talk?

-Is everything okay?
-Yes.

I have news.

I told you I'd heard rumblings
but nothing concrete.

What news?

The Hungary thing.

The old man gave me orders from Heinrich.

It's happening at last.
I'm coming back to run it.

Well, I'm very relieved about that.

I have to admit, I'm pleased as punch.

Yes.

[Hedwig speaking indistinctly]

I don't know. I go to Budapest first.
Things will be clearer after that.

Anyway, my cogs are turning.

I must get on.
I'll call you later, after the party.

No. Wait, please.

Tell Eleanor Pohl,

when she receives her parcel,
to look in the compact.

They're inside.

[Rudolf] I heard Himmler's calling it
"Operation Höss."

[Hedwig] That's fantastic.
I'm so happy for you.

[Rudolf] Thank you, Mutzi.
It's your name too.

[Hedwig] Who was there?

[Rudolf] To tell you the truth,
I wasn't really paying attention.

I was too busy thinking
how I'd gas everyone in the room.

Very difficult, logistically,
because of its high ceiling.

[Hedwig] Mm-hmm.

It's the middle of the night,
and I need to be in bed.

I shouldn't have called so late.

I was just excited to tell you the name.

You can tell me about it
when you get back.

[Rudolph] Hmm.

You have told them Daddy's coming home?

Yes. Good night.
