Fellow believers!

In this fateful hour the fatherland
calls upon its sons to come forth.

We call upon you to exhaust all
possibilities of serving your country.

Of course every German Jew
is willing to strive

and fight with their goods
and their persons.

Call to arms by the central association
for German citizens of the Jewish faith,

August lst 1914.

Dear listeners all across the reich,

it is 9 o'clock.

We interrupt this program
for a short report

about the formation of the new
government in the reich's capital.

It seems likely that,

after tough negotiations,

the formation of a
government coalition was successful.

The president has set the announcement
of the new chancellor at 11 am.

We have yet to receive
final confirmation.

According to well-informed sources,

a government led by Franz Von papen
is to be expected.

Exact details regarding the composition
of the cabinet are not yet known.

The prominent participation
of the nsdap as the largest faction

is deemed to be ensured.

Exact details
about minister positions...

Here you go, herr liebermann.
Black with sugar.

Thank you.

Excuse me...

Would you be so kind and turn this off?

Of course.

I can't listen to this anymore.

It was said downstairs

that herr liebermann
was eating in the radio room.

Aaron, my boy!

- Coffee as usual?
- Yes.

I've finished already.

One more coffee
and then it's back to work

have a seat.

We haven't seen you
in the club for a while.

How's the old man?

Quite well.

He was a bit saddened
that you couldn't attend the party.

He was overjoyed with the painting.

By the way,

some family members are convening
to eat what's left from the weekend.

Maybe you'd like to come.

No, that's alright.

Actually...

When I think of the momentary
political situation,

I can't eat as much
as I'd like to vomit.

What if I told you

that we even got
the good cognac out of the cellar?

It was my grandfather's.

There aren't many bottles left.

Aaron, you tempt me.

Your grandfather's cognac...

Your grandfather...

I snuck him into the kontor once.

To steal some pens.

I paid for that one dearly.

Well, he was a tough man.

Even so, I would have preferred him
as father to my own.

Father always said,
grandfather viewed you as a son.

Even more so,
after uncle josua passed.

So how's kathe?

Quite well.

Our son-in-law is a professor
of philosophy in Frankfurt now.

He's the head of the board of trustees.
They haven't got it bad.

I always thought riezler
would have had political ambitions.

They always blamed Kurt for the war.

Him and bethmann hollweg.

That always followed him.

Now they have constantly
a changing government instead.

I wonder if they'll come
to an agreement today.

I'm afraid so.

What do you think
Kurt thinks of all this?

To him, all of them are a bunch of fools.

I'm not so sure,

opinions are split in this club.

Is that so?

That's why
I haven't been here for a while.

I don't really care about
those windbags downstairs, but...

What do you think
about the rabble-rouser?

Do you think he's good?

For the love of god, no.

But I think
there are enough people that do.

I'm still hoping that the president
simply doesn't appoint a new chancellor.

That would be something.

But he will.

I know.

And I always thought highly
of him... good ol' hindenburg.

Remember how I painted
his portrait?

Some paper wrote

how disgraceful it was
that it was done by a Jew.

Laughable.

I'm still convinced hindenburg
found it laughable as well.

I'm just a painter.

What does that have to do with judaism?

Mettenschmidt showed me
postcards a short while ago.

Hitler painted them in Vienna. Awful.

Your portrait of father
is magnificent, however.

He was overjoyed by it.

Don't mention it.
I always wanted to paint him.

You could hang it in the apartment.

So you don't forget
who the actual herr glickstein is.

Well, we'd better get going.

Otherwise you'll be late
at the office.

Do I have everything?

- Thank you.
- Let me help you.

Thank you, my boy.

Herr liebermann,
why don't you come by tonight.

Father will be disappointed anyhow
when he hears we met here

and he wasn't there.

I hope so.

I'll tell you what,
I'll call you later and then we'll see.

Say hello to the family.

I've got to go.

A message from the office.

My coat, please.

Of course, Aaron.

Sally rehfeld is dead.
Requesting immediate instructions.

The last supper

Hitler is chancellor!

Son! Are you coming?

Do you need any help, mom?

No, thank you my clear.
You can go inside.

I have decided, mom.

I know.

I understand,
but you have to understand us too.

We are your parents and we are worried.

Dad doesn't have a clue.

That's not true.

Did you tell him?

Not yet.

I just wanted...

It has to be discussed
carefully with your father.

But it can't wait any longer.

I will talk to him tomorrow,
but be patient.

- Pafience?
- Yes.

If we keep waiting
he will wake up in a month

and nothing will be as it was.

Then all will be lost.

Leah!

Imagine being able
to leave all this behind.

Poverty is everywhere.

But we could go
to California, or New York.

Yes, I'd certainly be
the only Jewish doctor there.

They must be desperately waiting for me.

They may be waiting for me, my darling.

This is a huge opportunity.

If lemmle Jr. buys my novels, then -
- if he buys them.

Fortune favors the brave, Daniel.

The thought of leaving my home
and everything my parents built...

All that's uncertain enough as it is.

What about
your position in the ministry?

Don't start with that now.

My parents
would be stunned in disbelief.

"Boy, what about your position
at the charité hospital?"

"Seems to be
too difficult for this doctor!“

we'll take one!

Look over there, it's your sister.
Hello Sarah!

Any news from Hollywood?

We were just talking about it.

There isn't any real news yet.
Clocks run at snail's pace over there.

It's taking ages.

But if it works out?

Then we'll most likely
move to the states.

Look at you, brother!

I wouldn't have thought you could
overcome your patriarchal shadow.

Fortune favors the brave.

I have my fingers crossed.

Who knows,
as we may have to emigrate soon

it can only benefit us
if family is there.

I always thought
the dream was Moscow.

Dreams don't live very long these days.

We don't have to discuss this
in front of our parents today, do we?

Let's go upstairs.

My sister-in-law will be serving food
with prussian punctuality.

And I'm hungry!

Appetizers:

Chicken broth with root vegetables

Should we wait?

Let's just start.

He'll come when he's ready.

Benjamin, would you be so kind
and "benschn" for us?

Grandfather Jakob,
we pray after the meal.

The blessing, my boy,
the blessing!

You know what I mean!

Thank you, rabbi.

Thanks.

Smells good!

Wait.

Dad!

I'm sorry,
I couldn't come any sooner.

A lot going on today, huh?

Sally rehfeld died last night.

A friend, Aaron?

One of our most important
business partners.

And the contract?

I spent all day trying to find out.

But no luck.

- What now?
- We'll see.

It's understandable that the rehfelds

had other things on their minds today.

Thank you.

Don't worry. Tomorrow morning

I'll finish up the contract
with his replacement.

Do you have an appointment?

Yes. I just wanted to explain
why I was late today.

And now, let's eat.

Bubbale, you don't need to
apologize for doing your job.

Well then, I hope you all enjoy.

Thank you. Enjoy.

So it was an important assignment?

It would be unfortunate
if it were to fall through.

How unfortunate?

What?
Is the question not justified?

As justified as inquiring
about malpractice, doctor.

It's alright, papa.

Daniel's right.

We would have quite a mess
if we don't get the contract.

To think that Sally
wanted to sign today...

He will no longer be able to do so.

What does that mean?
Are we broke?

No, darling.

The prussians
don't shoot quite that quickly.

We have quite a few
outstanding debts though.

It could get tight.

Tell them you had a verbal contract!

Don't let them shake you off.

As I said:
We have an appointment tomorrow.

Don't you all forget
to eat with all this talk now.

Right. Enough about business.

Thank you.

Rebecca, this is excellent.

It really is.

Most of it is from the party.

It was good then, too.

Charmer.

No, the doctor is quite right.

Let us now have a toast
to my wonderful daughter-in-law,

who organized

such a wonderful 80th birthday for me.

- To Rebecca!
- To my darling.

Today it seems to have been a wild day.

It looks like David will have
to work overtime in the ullstein house.

Did something special happen?

- Didn't you hear anything, Aaron?
- No, why?

They captured the bvg Robbers!

Thank god. One can hardly
be sure of his life in Berlin.

And Hitler is chancellor.

Great. That's just what we needed.

- That awful person!
- Terrible.

People seem to have gone mad.

All this with Hitler...
It's not a real surprise anymore, is it?

It was to be expected of Von papen
to use the Nazis to gain the majority.

I wouldn't have expected

the field marshal general
to involve himself with that agitator.

The old one perhaps.
But he belonged to Von papen.

Monarchists, fascists,
even the social democrats...

They're all part
of the same oppressive force.

- Sarah, now is not the time.
- When is it ever?

It never is for you socialists.

You will not speak
to your aunt in that tone.

You're the one who keeps saying
how dangerous communism is.

The Nazis are no better, Michael.

Is that so?

The nsdap is the only party that freely
addresses what is wrong in Germany.

You and your Nazi friends?

They're anti-semites!

If it were up to them,
they'd expel us from the country.

Or worse!

We shouldn't be too alarmist about this.

They are making a lot of noise,
especially Hitler.

He knows what he has to say

to rally those who have been
disappointed behind him.

In the end things won't be
as bad as they seem.

- Oh no?
- Have you forgotten the attempted coup?

- The street battles with the sa?
- Yummy!

- They're thugs and murderers.
- And your red front?

They're all pacifists?

This is a fight
for the survival of our nation.

That will involve some bloodshed.

Don't be flippant about bloodshed.

The lord tells us to be peaceful.

The same lord that sent his angel
to kill the firstborn of the Egyptians?

Boy, that's enough.

But father, you of all people
should understand.

You fought for our fatherland.

You laid in the trenches,
you have the iron cross!

Like Hitler!

We defended Germany from
our enemies

and they came from France,
england and Russia.

Hitler seems to look
for his enemies in his own country.

Well, Michael isn't completely wrong.

People in the foreign ministry
are saying that

Hitler's stance on the
treaty of versailles

and the territories lost
is long overdue.

He isn't afraid to send
clear messages to London and Paris.

Mind you my Jakob
and I sent four sons to war.

The good lord sent us back two.

Two...

Two remained in the field.

They fell for the fatherland.

But my dear Monika,

they died for a different Germany.

It was not the Germany
envisioned by this Austrian.

That's not how Monika meant it, papa.

But grandfather is right.

This isn't the same Germany
that father went to war for.

Is it, papa?

As far as that goes, I don't know

if the Germany
I went to war for ever existed.

The kaiser ultimately gave us
full equality. Don't forget that.

And while Hitler
became chancellor today,

the kaiser sat around somewhere
in Holland and chopped firewood.

Must be quite difficult
with only one arm.

That's true.

Some say that Hitler
will bring the kaiser back.

- Nonsense.
- As long as the old man is president,

one of the kaiser's trustees
will remain in a key position.

Hindenburg is six years older than me,
how long will that last?

As if the kaiser, the stahlhelm
or hindenburg were a good thing.

With men like that in power
we will hardly have a future in Germany.

She's right about that.

What do you mean by that, clear?

I mean that I won't stay in Germany.

Beg your pardon?

I'm going to Palestine
with Hannah and Samuel.

Leah, couldn't you have waited with that?

You knew about this?

Rebecca?

It's my fault, Aaron.

Leah asked me, and I -
- did you know about this?

Yes.

Hannah and Samuel
are leaving next month.

Aaron, don't get upset.

It's wonderful if Leah wants to see

the land of our fathers.

- Eretz Israel!
- Mother!

Father.

My 19-year-old daughter wants to
emigrate to Palestine with her cousin

and no one deems it necessary
to talk to me about this?

You're right. That's not the Germany
for which I laid in the trenches.

In my Germany we respected our father.

Don't flatter yourself, boy.
As if you always respected me.

Besides,

I also knew
about Leah's wish to do this.

I told Rebecca
not to discuss it with you yet.

Why would you do that?

Let's not discuss this
in front of the entire mischpocheh.

What with all the pressure
in our business and so on...

Rebecca, let's get the rest.

No, let me do that.

How can you keep
something like that from me?

- I'm sorry.
- You're sorry.

We wanted
to talk to you about it. Later.

How much later? When I've received
a postcard from Palestine?

'With love, Leah'?

It's not as if you were especially
open to such conversations.

No, I'm not.
Because they're absurd.

But why?

Because Leah isn't even 19.

And because I'll be damned
before I send her

to the mussulmen with a suitcase!

She wants to build a life there.
One suitcase will hardly be enough.

Do you think this is funny?

You embarrassed me.
You and your daughter.

Our daughter.

In front of the whole family.

"Aaron doesn't even know what goes on
in his own home", they'll say.

That's what you're worried about?
That your reputation may be tarnished?

I'm worried that our daughter wants to
throw her life away.

I won't allow that.

Have you got the slightest idea
what it's like in Palestine?

What sacrifices
and dangers await her there?

- Bigger ones than here?
- Yes, of course.

What are you even talking about?

Aaron, Leah has been threatened
by brownshirts twice.

The second time ended in a fight.

- When?
- Last Thursday.

Samuel herlitz
and that silberstein boy helped her.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because you weren't there, as usual.

There were those talks
with the French from marseilles

and you didn't have time.

I always have time when it comes
to protecting my family, you know that.

Sure.

You would have forbidden her
to leave the house after 6 o'clock.

Well, it isn't becoming to do so.

Why are you acting up?
This isn't like you.

Maybe that was always
the mistake I made.

I was too soft.
Too lenient, too generous.

With Michael, yes.
But never with Leah.

Michael is a boy,
he needs to give things a try.

Leah is a young woman.
Her greatest asset is her reputation.

That needs to be preserved.

I hardly think it's her reputation
we need to worry about.

The uncertainty
of whether she can be anywhere

at any time in Berlin safely —
That should worry us.

- You're exaggerating.
- Weren't you listening?

The boys fought last Thursday
to protect her!

And why don't you discuss that with me?

She had already been thinking
about leaving then for a long time.

She was worried, and scared about
what you would say.

That's why she didn't want
to tell you anything yet.

What now?

Leah is determined to emigrate
to Israel with Samuel and Hannah.

- To the land of our fathers.
- That is out of the question.

Germany is my father's country,
and his father's.

This silly notion of a Jewish state...

How can you just say
something like that?

Because I won't let our daughter
just go somewhere in the ottoman empire

to let her be forced
into slavery by berbers!

So she should let herself
be beat up by Nazis here instead.

Here we still have law and order!
This is prussia, not Arabia.

I don't give a damn
about Hitler and his cohorts.

The scare will pass.

But who will protect Leah
from some dagger in the east?

The zionist police?

- The brits.
- Hah! The tommies.

- Even better.
- It's safe there. And you know it.

Do you think Benjamin would have let
his spoiled daughter move there

if he hadn't
gotten information on everything?

You want to use the rabbi of all people
to vouch for the safety of our daughter?

Benjamin is a great
and intelligent man.

But that doesn't seem to count with you.

He knows the torah.
He knows nothing about the real world.

Heaven forbid that anyone
but Aaron glickstein

may know something about the world.

Don't be silly. - You be open
for what others have to say.

- I am open.
- Yes.

But not for your family or me.

Don't worr, I won't make a scene.
Y

but it's you who knows nothing
about the world out there, Aaron.

Things are changing.

At any rate,
Leah will not be going to Palestine.

- We shouldn't talk about this anymore.
- It's my final word.

Yes. But not mine.

We have guests.
Let's talk about this later.

Monika doesn't smoke anymore,
does she? - No.

It's better that way.

Aaron is very stubborn.

Well, Leah is a bit young, isn't she?

Palestine...

We'll all have to think about it
sooner or later.

- About Palestine?
- Emigrating. You are thinking about it.

Monika sees a brighter future overseas.

I want her to be happy.

That's great.

I really hope it all works out.

You think so?

You don't really want to go.

What can I do? I love my country.

After everything that happened?

The war? The republic?

- What about it?
- Don't play dumb, you know what I mean.

Sarah, had you seen
what I saw at verdun...

All the comrades that gave
their lives for their country...

And your letters?
You suffered like animals!

We would've never made it
without our love for the fatherland.

That's exactly what I mean.

Fine. I wasn't there.

But I still know what was done
to the soldiers. On all sides.

Always in the name of their country.

- What was the thanks for that?
- Those were your people.

- Socialists and bolshevists.
- Communists. - Fine. That was you.

Your revolution. Wasn't it?

You don't seriously believe
in the stab-in-the-back myth?

Unbeaten in the field,
betrayed at home. All that?

No, not like that.
But we gave everything.

Maybe...

Maybe we should still.

On the contrary.
You should have stopped far sooner.

The revolution came too late.

Oh, sister...
I don't want to fight with you.

What I want to say is:

Aaron and I and
all our comrades can't help it.

We're German patriots - till death.

That's what I'm afraid of.

- We came down here to smoke.
- Ah, it's you.

- So Rebecca and you can have your space.
- Thank you.

- Would you like a cigarette?
- No, thank you.

I'm just going to go
get some beers at the supermarket.

I need a short walk.

Would you like to hear my opinion?

Sure.

The zionists
are just as alien to me as to you.

But you should let Leah go.
It's important to accept her decision.

So she sees that her father views her
as an emancipated, independent woman.

I'll think about it. I've got to go.

The supermarket closes at seven.

You can't get rid
of facts by ignoring them.

- Rosa luxemburg.
- No. Aldous huxley.

Who?

Ask Monika. She may know of him.

- Should we go back up?
- Sure.

I'm hungry again.

I know it's not so easy, Rebecca.

- What do you mean?
- Life with Aaron.

Am I wrong?

We've got it good together.

You know I love my sons.

But I know them too.

That's how I think — no,

that's how I know
it's not easy with Aaron.

In that case, I don't think
it's easy with any man.

Jakob and I had a good life.

But don't assume that means
he always behaved accordingly.

A lot of that behavior
had better remain secret.

Still: He was a good husband.

Aaron is too.

But it's been taxing lately
with work and the children.

It's a daily battle.

That it is.

Men live their lives as battles.

War is just one aspect.
Work is another.

Day by day.

Temptation is a big part as well.

It's up to us women
to stand behind our husbands.

And to lead them if necessary.

If only Aaron let himself be led...

Well, I'm still here.

I thought about separation once.

Yes.

I'm very thankful that you are
such a wonderful wife to my son.

I love him.

And he loves you.

I know.

And that's why
you'll get through this together.

Battles like these are challenges
that strengthen a marriage.

Let's see what happens
when we continue discussing Leah.

I'm sure you will find the right way.

Radio stock company siegmund loewe,
office of siegmund loewe,

miss Schneider speaking,
how can I help you?

Hello Karen, it's Aaron.
Could I speak to siegmund?

What is this concerning?

I need to discuss
business matters with him urgently.

You only call
when you need help, don't you?

Do you need anything else?

Karen, I have no time
to argue right now.

I apologized to you, and -
- I'm not some hussy, you know.

Please connect me to siegmund.

We can meet next week
and discuss this properly.

I bet you'd like that.

Anyhow, Dr.
Loewe isn't in the office anymore.

He may still be
in herr Von ardenne's shop.

I '/I try to patch you through.

Thank you.

Loewe?

Siegmund. Thank god.
It's Aaron glickstein.

Aaron. How are you?

Things could be better.

You're telling me.
My brother David even wants to emigrate.

What?

Why? - You have noticed
that we have a new government?

But to leave to america?

They've been wanting
the discharging of Jews for years.

They're calling it aryanization.

You'd better be prepared.

If you say so. - Albert has already
been there a few years.

He wants to give up his German
citizenship and leave the academy.

We can talk about all this
in the club someday.

I'm calling you from a phone booth.

Is your phone broken?

No. I need your help.

Okay, what is this about?

Simply said, I'm in deep trouble.

I'm sorry.

There have been some
unfortunate developments recently

and today a very important
business partner died.

- Sally rehfeld?
- Yes. Did you know him?

In passing. Manfred went out
with one of his daughters once.

He told me about it this morning.

I'll tell you what.
Come by to steglitz one of these days.

Manfred can show you
some great new things.

We can transmit films to television
tubes via antennas and show them.

This is the future!

Siegmund, I need a private loan.
As soon as possible.

Is it that bad? I had no idea.

Nobody can know.

Even Rebecca.

I desperately need liquidity
in the company or...

We lose everything.

Alright, Aaron.

I'm not sure what will be possible

and I won't make any false promises.

Just come by my office at 10.

My accountant will be there.
We'll find a solution.

Thank you, siegmund.

Say hello to the family.

You too.

Good evening, herr glickstein.

Good evening...

Ottilie Cohen. Fourth floor.

You've grown.
I haven't seen you in ages.

That may be because you're never home.
That's what Leah says.

There may be some truth to that.

Well then, have a nice evening
and say hello to your wife for me.

Thank you.

I will.

Maybe I'll see you around.

Main course:

Braised beef with Juniper Berry sauce

Everything alright, my boy?

We were talking about the bvg robbers.

I'm surprised
you didn't know about that.

Your payroll department
was robbed too, wasn't it?

Not our department.

The bank where
we manage our payroll accounts was.

And you weren't informed right away?

There was a lot going on.
Many people calling in sick today.

- There's a bug going around.
- Right,

they closed down some schools
because of that.

I didn't know that.
Yours too, Michael?

Unfortunately not.

- Was any money seized?
- Where?

- With the bvg robbers.
- Not that I know of.

But it was a pretty large operation.
130 officers.

Thank god there was no bloodshed.

Hoheisel and achtenhagen
are their names.

What will be their sentence,
uncle Daniel?

The noose, I'm sure.

Sure. They'll hang the wild ones
for shooting a municipal inspector.

But mass murderers like hindenburg

that led entire armies
to die get to be presidents.

Sarah, it is unbecoming for you
to speak of the president that way.

Wouldn't that be an idea
for one of your novels, moni?

The bvg robbers?

I actually thought about it.

It would have to be
enhanced a bit though.

Daniel could advise you
on the medical aspects.

My darling has never been keen
on advice, have you, moni?

Who likes to listen to their husband?

Is everyone enjoying their meal?

It really is fantastic, Becky.

- Thank you.
- And everything is kosher, right?

Of course.

A rabbi goes to the butcher and says:

"I would like that fish."

And the butcher says:
"That's not a fish, that's ham.”

"I don't even want to know
what that fish is called."

I got another one.

A catholic priest,
an Evangelical pastor and a rabbi

talk about their communities
and discuss offerings.

The priest: “I always take
one tenth of the offering

for the expenses of the church
and the rest is for the welfare bag.

If anything falls out,
I take it for myself.”

The pastor:

"I do it similarly.
One tenth for the church,

eight tenths welfare, one tenth for me.“

the rabbi says:

“You christians are such hypocrites.

That money is for god!

That's why I do it differently.

I throw it all in the air and say:
Lord, take as much as you want.”

How else could you finance a trip
to Palestine as a rabbi?

Good thing it's all a joke then.

The land of Israel is no joke, father.

Our people are sacrificing
their lives for it.

And you're sitting here joking about it!

Sit down.

We'll talk to your father
about this later.

Can we please talk
about something else now?

Then let's discuss
this horrible new chancellor.

I can't stand the man.

How can such a loudmouth
become chancellor?

Max called earlier.

He said he can't eat
as much as he'd like to vomit.

I think we're taking
this Nazi scare far too seriously.

The real power lies
with Von papen and hugenberg.

- And hindenburg.
- And hindenburg.

I'm not sure if you aren't
miscalculating the situation.

This Hitler is a devious fellow.

It has a lot to do
with the American embassy.

Most of them saw it coming

but nobody expects them
to be good leaders.

It's just a phase, like the other
governments that came and went.

But someday Germany
must become stable again.

We'll look like fools
if it happens with Hitler.

I don't think
the Nazis will dictate policy.

Von papen and hugenberg will turn
all this into real-world politics.

They're experienced politicians.

Conservative, but not Nazis.

They needed a majority.

The momentum behind Hitler
could have a positive effect.

I can't make out anything positive
about this 'momentum'.

Only cruelty, baseness and violence.

I think uncle Daniel is correct.

The nsdap and Hitler
don't filter their words.

They say what people
are already thinking.

The treaty must go

and society and the economy
need to be built from the ground up.

We all agree
about the treaty of versailles.

Even without Hitler
it's a waste of paper.

Stresemann has already
worked out the situation.

Yes, and Hitler will have
everyone believe it was him who did it.

The treaty of versailles
is still in effect.

Hitler will change that.

Only if the Victors will allow it.

And?

- And what?
- Will they?

I don't have direct contact
to the diplomatic corps,

but I believe so.

And that is Hitler's doing
because he doesn't mince words

and tells them: Not like this.

Nobody said that there are no subjects
on which one can agree with the nsdap.

Speak for yourself, brother.

To me they're a bunch of criminals.

But the dnvp
and the center aren't much better.

How did I manage to have a daughter

that has turned into a bolshevist?

Don't put blame on yourself, dad.
It wasn't you.

I just learned from our history.

My brother should be wondering
how he got a little Nazi as a son.

- Sarah!
- How dare you!

Telling things as they are
still remains the most revolutionary.

She's right.

- I openly support Hitler.
- That's enough now.

I hope we'll be done here soon.

I want to join
the torchlight procession.

Torchlight procession?

The Nazis announced a victory march
from the brandenburg gate.

With torches of course. How else.

- They will be coming here, too.
- And I will join them.

You will not.

No family member of mine
will march with those thugs

and a fool like Hitler.

We'll see about that.

Michael, what are you saying?

It would seem
everything comes to light today.

- In my office.
- Why?

Because I want
to have a serious talk with you.

- I'm not a child anymore, papa.
- Then don't act like one.

Please excuse us.

I'm sure you know what you're doing.

Just make sure that you don't
lose two children in one day.

And they are both children.

To family!

The biggest battlefield on which a man
can prove himself worthy.

True.

Give me one good reason
why I shouldn't give you a beating

and put you under house arrest
until you finish school.

I'm sorry.

- For what?
- My tone.

That wasn't right.

That's something, at least.

I ask for your forgiveness.

Duly noted.

What else?

What do you mean?

The nonsense
you were spouting out there.

I meant every word of it.

You can't be serious.

You're talking about a party
that blames us Jews

for everything that went wrong
in this country.

- Not everything.
- Not everything?

Do you even know how many Jews
there are in Germany?

Two out of one hundred at most.

And you think those two percent
are responsible for our misery?

If those are the two percent finance
and economy Jews, why not?

The rothschilds and guggenheims
caused the financial crisis,

- not the mullers and lehmanns.
- The "finance Jews”?

Were you brainwashed?

The rothschilds and the guggenheims?

What about the glicksteins?
What about us?

Are we part of your "finance judaism”?

I didn't say that
every merchant and businessman

share the same responsibility
in the subjugation of the German people!

Where did you get all this from?

Is that what you learn in school?

Partially at least.

Herr grothe, our history teacher,
talks to us about “mein kampf"

and the protocols of the elders of Zion.

- Did he?
- He did.

At least he gives us lessons
that are useful.

Herr pieper only taught us about
perikles or Karl the great.

Who cares about that?

What does herr grothe
think about Hitler?

Nothing.

He hasn't indoctrinated us
if that's what you mean.

We worked through everything
that's wrong with the republic.

Then we compared
what Hitler had to say about it.

And you concluded
that the Jews were to blame.

You don't take me seriously.
I hate that!

How could I possibly
when you believe such nonsense

and repeat it
at my dining room table?

Mein kampf and the elders of Zion.

- What rubbish!
- Have you read them?

I have better things to do than read

the garbage
that some insane person wrote.

I didn't read mein kampf.
I don't have to.

I know it only contains filth.

- You would know.
- I do. I've heard your Hitler speak.

That left nothing to the imagination.

I heard his thugs roar in agreement.

I know people like them.

I've known them all my life.

Fine. Some of it is a bit much,
I'll admit.

But if you don't
read his book or the elders of Zion

then you don't know what's happening
in Germany — in the whole world!

The protocols are evidence.

The Jews are the perpetrators
of a global conspiracy.

Nonsense!
Who knows who came up with that drivel.

Probably the French or the Russians.

You just don't want to accept it.
Because you don't like it.

But I'll tell you something:

We have to be wary
of these machinations.

Machinations?

These are your people
you're talking about.

You're talking about us.
About you and me.

I'm a German first.

A Jew second.

You've always said
you don't like the zionists either.

Because they follow the wrong ideals,

but the one thing hasn't got anything
to do with the other. - Yes it has!

Temple of Salomon!

Fine. For argument's sake
let's assume you are first a German,

then a Jew.

How do you decide
when you're one or the other?

How do you differentiate between them?

Papa, what... - Don't "papa” me.
Not now. You want to be a man?

- Face things like a man.
- What do you mean by that?

I mean that you're dodging my question.

You're afraid to tell me
what you really think.

You don't want to admit
you don't want to be a Jew.

You want to be a real German.

But let me tell you:
There is no difference.

Oh no?

- Are you meshugge?
- Watch your tone.

You can't stand
that I have my own opinion.

Everything that goes on in this family
has to go your way.

I can understand that Leah wants out.

This is getting better and better.

Do you really think Leah wants to go to
Palestine just because of Hitler?

She wants to study
and you're standing in her way.

That's why she wants to leave.
Palestine is her only chance.

As if I ever forbade you or
your sister to fulfill your aspirations.

She isn't fleeing from Germany.
She's fleeing from you.

You dare to insult me
like this in my own home?

Look in my eyes and tell me
you don't already know it.

I don't need to justify myself
in front of you.

You want me to act like a man?

Fine. That's what I'm doing.

I'm willing to hold myself
accountable to my actions.

Not just in front of you,
but in front of our entire nation.

Not the Jewish nation.
The German nation.

What are you saying?

"Jewish or German”.

That's like “frisian or German”,
or "bavarian or German”.

I believe in the nationalist movement.

And that Germany can rise to the place
of power it deserves with Hitler.

That benefits all of us.

The fatherland won't be able to do
without anyone, especially us Jews.

We have to work even harder
to prove ourselves,

ere we get mistaken
for zionists and conspirators.

They just use judaism to hide.

They are terrorists and
traitors to the fatherland.

Of course! Traitors to the fatherland.

Thanks for explaining
that to me, Mr. Hitler.

But I thought you wanted
to get rid of the Jews.

So what's wrong with Palestine?

Not that I have much love for it.

But if the Jews
are Germany's misfortune,

why not let them go to Palestine?

I didn't say it like that.

You didn't? Your Hitler did though.

If a Jew lives on the land,
he will poison the Wells.

If he leaves, he betrays the fatherland.

That is the global Jewish conspiracy.

You twist everything.

I just mean that you can't evade
responsibility towards the nation,

especially nowadays. This could be
the beginning of something huge.

Or its end. - Every beginning
means ending what came before it.

It has to be that way
and that's perfectly fine.

The world is changing, papa.

You're not the first one
to tell me that today.

Then maybe you should listen.
And join in.

From this day forward national socialism
will be unstoppable in Germany.

How is this supposed to go on?

Do I have to expect you
to be standing here

in a brown shirt
when I come home from work?

Why not?

Because then
I will throw you out, you schmuck.

Then you'll see if your Nazi friends
will have any food to spare for you.

You know what?

You don't need to throw me out.
I'm leaving.

If you go through this door
you don't need to come back.

Fine.

Then that's how it'll be.

- Wait! What are you doing?
- Leave me alone.

- You cannot just leave.
- Well, I am.

- Where?
- To the torchlight procession.

And then?

Don't know yet.

But you're coming back.

If father gets his way, then no.

- Did he say that?
- Yes he did. That and more.

You know him.

He'll get over it.

Mama will smooth it out. Like always.

I don't want her to.
I'm no mama's boy anymore.

It's time for me
to handle my own business.

How? Where will you stay?

Comrades.

But...

When will you come back?

Neven

he doesn't want me here.

What about our mother?

And me?

You're leaving too.

What about our mother then?
Or with me?

- Then come with me!
- To Palestine?

- No way.
- It will be a completely new beginning!

That's what we've got here, too!

Michael. The Nazis don't want us.

They hate us.

Palestine needs us.

Us?

Maybe you, the zionists.

It's different with me.

Oh yeah? Why is that?

Those are my comrades.
We have a common goal.

Which is?

A strong Germany.
The life that we deserve.

And what about us Jews?

Humiliation and violence?

Is that what your sister deserves?

We want a safe country as well.

A country of our own.

To each his own.

Michael, this isn't you.

No, I'm not.

Maybe because I'm not allowed
to be who I could be here.

It's different out there.

Please don't go.

Don't go.

Dessert:

Red fruit jelly with vanilla sauce

I'm going to get some fresh air.

You do that, honey.

I'll join you, Aaron.

I'll get you a coat.

Our street's full already.

One day,
we'll be able to say we were there.

And Michael is one of them.

Michael is a young man.
He wants to rebel.

But he comes from a good family.

He is loved, he's welcome.
He'll remember that.

Then he'll come back, you'll see.

And Leah?
Will she come back from Palestine?

- That's different. But if you'd like...
- I've had enough for today.

It was a really terrible day.
Let's talk about this some other time.

When?

I don't know,
maybe in a few years.

I know.
I don't have that much time.

Grandfather Jakob's birthday
was probably the last time

the family will be able to get
together for quite some time.

Hannah and Samuel
are leaving in two weeks.

Leah is going with them.

I even tried to talk her out of it.
Believe me.

Benjamin,

the only person
I have to blame is myself.

I didn't see all this coming.

Rabbh

is that kosher?

A student of the talmud asks his rabbi:

Is it allowed to
smoke while you pray?

Oh, no!, says the shocked rabbi.

A friend hears this and says:

You've got it all wrong.

I'll show you how it's done.

Two weeks later he winks at his friend

and goes to the rabbi and asks him:

Am I allowed to pray
while smoking?

The rabbi is delighted and answers:
Oh yes!

- Have you ever read mein kampf?
- Heaven forbid, no.

It seems to be
the least read bestseller of all time.

If no one reads it,
it can't do any harm.

I have read it.

If they do what it says in there
then god help us.

In the end it's just a book.

- So is the talmud.
- Rabbi!

You know what I mean.
Don't underestimate this, Aaron.

We're still in Germany.

We have a rich culture, a grand history.

It's not history I'm worried about.
It's the future.

Michael has a poster
of Metropolis in his attic.

I saw it back then. With him.

Imagine that future.

But multiplied by a hundred.

Then you probably still fall short
of what Germany has in store for itself.

That's pure fiction.
Metropolis is a film.

I refuse to believe
that everything will collapse

because we have a new chancellor.

It says in the book that he wants
to breed an Aryan master race

and enslave
or get rid of all the others.

Forge a greater living environment
in the east in a great war.

This is the place
of origin of reason and rationality.

Goethe, kant, Schiller!

What you're saying sounds
like everyone was on drugs.

The two drugs of a German
are beer and Wagner.

I believe
it was Nietzsche who said that.

In any case, the Nazis seem to be
consuming enough of both.

You've got that right.
But let's forget Wagner for a second.

We have two cold beers waiting for us.
One hundred percent kosher.

Here they come.

Let's go inside. I'm getting cold.

Aaron...

Please!

Raise your flags!

Final station. Please leave the train.

The last supper

About 100,000 German Jews

fought with conviction
in world war I for their country.

Tens of thousands paid with their lives.

Many of the survivors died 25 years
later in extermination camps.

Many German Jews like the glicksteins

made up a significant part
of German society.

Among them were many influential figures
in German art, culture and science.

Siegmund loewe,
the inventor of television,

was forced to give up
his business to "aryans”.

Nearly all Jewish-German companies
were "aryanized” between 1933 and 1939.

Max liebermann, one of the most
influential painters of his time,

was forced to abstain from
his public post, as did many other Jews.

He died in 1935, bitter and shunned.

His wife Martha took her life before her
impending deportation from Berlin.

Around 100,000 of the 160,000 Jews
in Berlin saved themselves into exile.

50,000 Jews
fell victim to the holocaust.

About 9,000 survived world war ii

in hiding or in "mixed marriages"
with non-Jews.

Since 2005 the holocaust
memorial in Berlin

commemorates the 6 million Jews
that died to Nazi tyranny.

In 2017 more than
12,000 German Jews live in Berlin.

Once again it is the heart
of Jewish life in Germany.

Around 20,000 Israelis live in Berlin,
most of whom are young.

Wanting to forget prolongs exile;

the secret to salvation is to remember!
