All language subtitles for The Greatest Nazi Camp Escape Alan Arkin & Rutger Hauer in ESCAPE FROM SOBIBOR Free Full Movie (English (Original) (auto))

In 1942, SS Chief Hinrich Himmler

initiated Operation Reinhardt, Nazi

Germany's final solution to the Jewish

question. Three death camps were built

and staffed under top secret orders.

These camps, all in Eastern Poland, were

Belch, Trebinka, and the most secret,

Sibiore. Soibbor. It was here on October

the 14th, 1943 that the biggest, most

successful prisoner revolt in World War

II took place. This is that story.

They You speak to them. Yes, Liam. But

they're still going to do it.

Liam. Liam. What's going on? We're

assigned to the vegetable plot today.

While you're all at the station, we are

going to go. We've been working on that

fence. It's our chance. In broad

daylight through the minefield, it's

crazy. You'll never make it. We have the

courage right now. Who knows if we will

tomorrow. Leon, we are going to do it.

Nobody can stop us.

Good luck.

Get in there.

A quick

run. It's nothing but a little target

practice. I want no problems here today.

Ain't that clear? Take your positions.

Dismissed.

Attention, Rainro Brigade Jews. As

always, I expect you to be smiling when

the train arrives. Remember, we are

welcoming these people. This will run

smoothly. If there's a problem like

yesterday's, if people panic or try to

run, I don't have to remind you, you

will be

[Music]

Quiet, quiet.

Stand where you are and be quiet.

You will be separated into two groups

just temporarily. Women and children on

this side, men and boys 14 years of age

or older on the

other. Those who are ill or too weak to

walk will be assisted. Leave your

luggage. It will be brought to you

later. Now move as quickly as possible.

Move.

It will vanish like flying dust and

passing smoke.

No.

[Music]

[Applause]

You stand right here and don't move till

I tell you.

[Applause]

Silence. Silence. I want everyone to

listen to me carefully. You have arrived

at

Sovore. You are in Eastern

Poland. This is a labor camp. We have

brought you here to work. You will work

hard, but hard work is good for the

soul.

So in reality, we are your

benefactors. You will be housed. You

will be fed. All we ask is your

cooperation. If you do your jobs, you

will have nothing to fear. You will be

given postcards, right, to your

relatives and friends to tell them that

you have arrived here safely. We will

mail them for you.

Unfortunately, there have been reports

that typhus has broken out at several

labor camps. We do not want typhus at

Soviore. Therefore, first you will be

taken to the shower facility where you

will each have a hot shower. Naturally,

men and women will shower separately.

Women will have their hair cut short

before they shower. While you are

showering, your clothing will be

disinfected.

Remember, the better your behavior, the

easier your stay will be.

I need experienced shoe makers and

tailor. Is anybody an experiment?

Qualified seamstresses. I want

professionals. First class shoe makers

here. Any tailor? I am a seamstress. Any

I'm Midsac.

We work here for the SS and their

Ukrainian guards.

How did you know I was a shoemaker? I

didn't. But what if I'd been a

shopkeeper or something? I'd have taught

you. It happens here all the time.

So why did you tell me to volunteer?

Because you look like someone I could

get along with and that's important in

so where do you come

from? Come on. Come

on. Come. Come. Come in.

Come. Wait over there.

What do we do now? He said to

wait. Someone will tell us.

[Music]

They can't allow babies in here.

[Music]

Help me.

Come stay in there. Don't leave for any

reason. That's Sergeant Fagler's orders.

Understand?

Look way over there. It looks like a

fire. I wonder what it is. If it looks

like a fire, then it probably is a fire.

I sound like grandpa.

What could be burning?

Who knows?

[Music]

What's happening? This isn't a normal

roll call.

complete

complete complete complete complete

complete

roll call is complete to help Sha fur

there's something you don't seem to

understand. So, I'm going to explain it

to you. Our

commandant wants me to make it very

clear that he is responsible for you,

for each and every one of you here,

somewhat

like a large

family. Today, three members of that

family decided that they didn't want to

be with us this evening or ever again.

No, we could not let that happen, could

we?

We have brought these three foolish men

back to be with all of us this

evening. Understand the

message these three Jews bring back to

you. There's no escape from soore.

That's only death for those insane

enough to

try. Don't any of you ever forget

that. Dismissed.

[Music]

Liam, why didn't they listen to you? I

couldn't stand the pain anymore. We talk

about escape all the time and we do

nothing. Maybe it's true. Maybe there is

no chance. No, I still think there is a

way. But not like this. There has to be

organization. There has to be patience

and some new people whose spirits have

not yet been broken. Yes. I want a

chance to escape, to be free, or at

least a chance to die trying. Better to

escape and live. That would be real

revenge.

[Music]

Hey,

hey, this is command lighter. Show us

the commandant your wallet.

This is very handsome. You made it. Yes,

sir.

S. The initials are appropriate.

What do they stand for? My name, sir.

Schlommo Schmer. Can you make rings? Oh,

yes, sir. I can make We can make any

kind of jewelry.

Show me what kind of monogram you would

design for me. I said, sir. Yes.

The initials, sir. F

KR. France Khal Rajlan.

You can make that for me? Yes, sir. But

I need gold.

Is that enough?

See to it that these boys get food and

blankets,

sir. Our clothes, they're filthy.

Everything and everybody in Soie has to

be neat and clean. Let them pick out

what they want at the sorting sheds.

Yes, sir. Come on. Oh, and sir, my

parents and sister. Be quiet. No, no,

let the boy talk. My parents and my

sister came here with us. Please, sir,

when can I see them? Don't worry about

them. They're working in the fields.

They're well and happy. I promise you

soon you'll join them.

How dare she hide the baby in here? We

can all be killed for that. You must get

it out of here and put it where? What

would you do if that was your baby? It's

Vogna.

Good morning, ladies.

I need someone who can take care of

Roberts. Does anyone here have

experience? I have. Stand

up. How did you learn at home? We raised

rabbits and chickens. My mother sold

them at the market. You have a new job.

A bit of

advice. Don't get Vagna angry. These

Nazis can be mad men. He is the worst.

What is your name? Luca. Luca. Well,

Luca, the woman who tended the rabbits,

twisted her back a few days ago. We

haven't seen her since Sergeant Vagnner

arranged that.

The rabbits are food for the ess. They

love their hars and fe. You better know

what you're doing.

Ober capo. Does that mean you're in

charge of all the capos? Yes. Are you

Jewish? All the capos are. There are

only Jews here. A Jew and you work for

the Nazis? I have no more choice than

you do. But you carry a whip.

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Choose your approach.

[Music]

[Music]

Esther Cabo, if they catch you with

that, you're dead. And they'll kill me,

too. So don't risk my life for me. I'm

risking it enough already. Not turning

you in right now. I don't know how to

thank you.

[Music]

Where did all these clothes come from?

Quiet. No patience. You have what you

need.

[Music]

talk about it later. I'll see you

this. Get back to work, you scum. Well,

couple now. Give me a whip.

Do your job.

Get back to work. All of you. Go

on. Go on.

[Music]

Lay on.

Be back

[Music]

at me.

[Music]

[Music]

Um, do you think

where are all the women and children? A

look in the kitchen. You put it in the

soup.

[Music]

Hey,

[Music]

go on. Stuff your faces right in front

of us. Shame on you. Big mad cop poor

chick. What god did you bribe to get

food for you and your

horn? For your own good. Shut up. Give

me that. I'm warning you. Stop it.

You stop it. I said I'm warning you.

Why do we fight among ourselves?

If we have energy to spend, let's spend

it against those who have reduced us to

this

white here.

Let them share this.

Share it.

Excuse me. Excuse me. Are you Leon? Yes.

I thought so. Samuel said I should see

you. I'm Isach Fleman. Oh, yes. He told

me about you're from Zulka. Yes. I have

been there many times. Ah. Did you know

the rabbi there?

Rabbi Schmita? Yes. He was a close

friend of my father's.

Did you know they shot him? No.

It's in the synagogue.

[Music]

During the service on Yungapur,

I was there.

Let's go outside.

[Music]

You found him. Good.

Samuel and I are forming a small group.

We have to select our people very

carefully.

We're planning an escape. An escape for

how many? We don't know yet. 10 people,

perhaps 20 when we work out the details.

But whatever we say here,

whatever we say here must be kept secret

at all costs. I swear to God, I'd rather

die right here, right now, than betray

you. Good.

Can I bring my wife and my son? Can I

bring him? How old is the boy? Four.

When you saw your wife and child at the

train station last, who were they with?

They were with all the other women and

children going to the shower. Are you

sure?

Yes. What is it?

It's a what? Listen to me. What?

This is a death

camp. Every day a train comes. All the

people, everyone who goes to the showers

is dead. Men, women, children, everyone.

Oh

god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh

god.

Oh. One minute. Oh,

it's no

the fire.

The fire is their

funeral. Oh, God.

[Music]

They were my life.

[Music]

[Applause]

Oh, heat,

[Applause]

heat.

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

Heat.

Heat.

[Applause]

Beautiful. That is excellent work.

Excellent. Isn't it very handsome? I

commandant. I expect you to design an SS

ring. I want my SS man to have a nice

cold ring. Start right away. Yes.

Bend over.

Yeah. Two lucky years.

Why?

Have you seen the new girl in charge of

orbits? I've seen her. The pic. I

wouldn't mind having a little of that

right now with Jews. Well, that's

disgusting. If you saw her, remember

Powang? Two good men kicked out the SS

and sent to the Russian front for raping

Jewish girls. That didn't make sense to

me. Me either. We are ordered to kill

them, but we're not allowed to use their

bodies first. You're as it should be.

We're s we're the elite. We do not found

ourselves in Jewish filth. The British

bomb Hamburg

again and again. I'm lucky.

My wife and kids are all right. Thank

God. Just be glad you're in a safe

place. Look at us. Proud defenders of

the right. Don't talk like that. My

father was killed in the first war doing

his duty for the fatherland. And we are

doing our duty for the furer here.

That's as honorable as being on a

battlefield. He's right. Battlefield.

You're

[Music]

crazy. What do you do?

Sit in your little booth and turn on the

gas. Valve on. Wait 20 minutes. Valve

off. Big

job. It takes great

courage.

B. How many Jews did you get today?

Don't talk about right in front of them.

They don't hear anything, do you? I'm

sorry, sir. I didn't hear you. See, they

are deaf.

How old are you? 15, sir.

15? My son is 12. I hope he lives to be

15. I mean, if it count, why can't he?

What's your name? Toy, sir.

To get me another

beer. Get this out of here.

I've seen Trebinka. I don't know how

they managed it. Sloppy security. That's

how. Right. I commandant. If Jews at

Trebinka can riot and set buildings on

fire, then they can do it here. Could

they? Not at soore.

But still, I want extra caution to be

taken. I'm advised by Berlin that

they're increasing the number of

transports we're to receive to three a

day.

a tribute to our efficiency will be up

to our eyes and choose. Tell your man

what happened at Trebinka. I expect you

to see to it that nothing like that

happens here. Yes, commandant.

Can I help you, sir? Here's a little

present for you. Put it to work.

Tell them your name. We know Toyvis,

sir. We can use him.

Nobody asked you

that. I want a design in gold on the

handle. A snake that winds around from

here to here. I'd be happy to do that

for you, sir. But Sergeant Vagnner, he

said that I would I don't want to hear

about Huff Ravagna. Just do it. I'll

break some bones.

Understood?

Yes, sir.

Send him to compound 3 tomorrow morning.

Ask for me at the gate.

Shafir. I will have a gold piece I want

inserted in the end of the handle

here. Yes, sir.

[Music]

You ever

look at this?

Thank you.

[Music]

See, the skin is the most nourishing

part.

I put a piece in in your soup,

too. Try

[Music]

it. You must

eat. The best revenge is for you to

survive.

It's

Zach. My family was murdered, too.

[Music]

I'll call 2 minutes. Go quick.

What I'm saying, Liam, is that maybe

somehow we can use the Ukrainian guards.

It's possible. How loyal are these

Ukrainians to the SA? They hate the SS

as much as they hate us, but they're

mercenaries and also no one is shooting

at them. We use them all the time. It

seems when we find gold or jewels in the

sorting sheds. We we steal some of it

sometimes and bribe the Ukrainian guards

to bring us food. They get rich, but at

least we stay alive. What's your idea?

Look, suppose we find the right

Ukrainian. We bribe him to bring us

poison stricken in cyanide. All right,

we have the poison then what? Well, who

serves the SS meals? The butchers. We

get them to do the poison. Children,

Sammy, it's too much responsibility for

them. You're right. The problem is we're

not we're not soldiers. We don't know

how to kill. We never have.

Roll call. Come on.

Sergeant Bow wants me.

[Applause]

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

Heat. Heat. Heat.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

What are you doing? You're not allowed

in here. Sergeant Bars me here, sir.

[Music]

Wait here.

[Music]

I

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

need

Heat. Heat.

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

What's taking Moses so long? Maybe he

got

lost. Oh, here he is.

Moses. Moses. Moses. What happened? Did

someone hurt you? No. Well, what is it?

What happened? Tell us. I went there to

get

this from Sergeant Power. Yes, I know

that. I saw the shower

place and there are no showers cuz all

the people who go in there are killed.

I saw the dead

bodies,

women,

babies, all twisted

together. And prisoners like us throw

them on carts and pull them away.

Everyone who goes for a

shell is dead.

Everyone,

mama, our whole

family is

dead. You knew

this. You knew when you didn't tell us.

My family are dead, too. The sergeants,

they said if I told anyone, they'd kill

me. Our mother and our father and our

sister are

murdered. Now I want to kill and I will

kill.

[Music]

Yes. You cannot survive here without God

to survive. Which one of you is Leon?

I am. You're the new uh the new

goldsmith. Yes. Hello. What's going on

in here?

How can you do this in a place where

they murder your families? They kill

little children. And and you make music.

You laugh. You play games. You weep and

make love in here. It's a carnival. And

you work for these monsters. You pack up

our clothing to send to Germany. My

mother's clothing. My father's clo.

Now that you know the truth about

Sovore, will you still make jewelry for

them?

What will you do?

Refuse. Consider yourself an honored

person because you let them kill you.

No, you won't. As we don't, and every

day will be an agony of conscience.

It's the same for everybody

here. When I came here, I was with my

wife and small child. They took me to

work in the sorting shed. My wife and

child were sent to the showers. The next

day, I am sorting through clothes. And I

I

come I come across their clothes. I find

them by accident. This is the way I find

that they are dead. My wife, my child.

But what is there to do but

survive? Yes, we sing, we dance,

sometimes we make jokes, we make love.

If not, we deny

life. We work for them so we may

survive. And we survive for a reason.

Revenge. And someday we will have

it. Do you understand?

I will do anything for

revenge, even if I have to die for it.

How old are you? How old do you have to

be?

You're old enough.

[Music]

partner's going to be late on his rounds

today. No, he isn't. Here he

comes. Good morning, ladies.

And how is the work progressing this

morning?

No, please. Is it yours? What are you

going to do?

What do you

think? There are no babies in Sabi.

[Music]

No,

you're going to kill her. Because I'm in

a good mood today, I'm going to let you

live. No, I really shouldn't. You're a

lucky woman. Give me my baby.

[Music]

I don't

understand. I'm offering you a chance to

live. It's quite unusual.

[Music]

I spit on your offer, you nuts

[Music]

[Music]

bastard. You've got to get out of here.

We've got to get

out. But even if we do, even if we do

escape, what then? We disappear into the

forest. There are partisan groups there.

We find these groups and we join

them. But first things first, we must

find a way of

[Applause]

escaping. This should be one of our

easier days. These Dutch will behave

themselves.

[Applause]

I'll take

this here. Be sure to keep your baggage

checked. Thank you. Just a

second.

Here you are.

We are not allowed to accept tips,

madam. Nonsense. Please take it. I

can't. Well, then only as a souvenir

from

Holland. Are there any other Dutch

people already here? No, this is the

first train from

[Applause]

Holland.

Here's your baggage check. Don't lose

it. Thank you. I won't.

You may ask for seamstresses or

lordresses. Raise your hand. Whatever it

is, say you're a professional. Go ahead.

say things like

that. Show me. I'm 26.

Why don't you ask one of the younger

girls?

If I'd never eaten an apple before, I

wouldn't want a green one,

Marshley.

When? We'll see.

[Applause]

is coming.

Keep working.

[Music]

When will the SS rings be finished?

We'll finish the last ones today, sir.

I have orders from command lighter to

close down the golden shop and all the

rings are done. Why? It doesn't matter

why. Now listen to me. I'm making you

the head of the mechanic shop. You will

have four or five men under you and a

lot of hard work. If you want to live,

you'll see that's done

right. You can take that one with you.

What's his name? Moses. Ah,

the king of Jews.

[Music]

You will work and sleep in the mechanic

shop at night. In secret, you'll

continue to make go jewelry for me and

for whoever I send to you. Remember, if

this secret leaks, you and the little

king will be dead 5 minutes later.

Understood?

[Music]

Yes, sir. What about toy visa?

You better find yourself another job.

What other job, sir?

Any other

job?

now at the stream. I'll hit him.

All right. Go ahead. Move.

What's taking them so long? I don't

know. Stay here. I'll have a look.

move. Two prisoners escaped at the

stream. They have a rifle. You, you,

you, and you. Follow me. Come on.

You got out. Let's

go. Cool.

stand at

detention. This morning, two prisoners

escaped from North

Camp. 13 other prisoners, no doubt

inspired by that idiotic

example, also tried to

escape. If any of you would like to

cheer, go right

ahead. There will be no more escape

attempts in this camp. I repeat that.

There will be no more escape attempts in

this

camp. We are going to kill these 13 men

while you

watch. But we are going to do more than

that.

We are going to allow each of these men

the privilege of selecting one of you as

his partner in

death. 26 will die

today. Go and select your

partners. You're all free to walk over

and select your

partners. Do it now.

I said do it now.

Do it now.

No, none of us will do

it. We will never do

it. Let me

explain. This is simple

mathematics. So it shouldn't be too

difficult to understand.

If you 13

men do not select 13 to die with

you, then I will select

50. So the decision is

yours

13 or 15.

[Applause]

I'm sorry.

[Applause]

And now we

begin. You will watch this.

So that you will

remember if I find anyone turning away

or closing their

eyes. And that person will join these 26

who are about to

die.

Ragnar, take your positions,

avenge us.

Fire. Enough. Time off now. Everyone

back to work.

Tell the

others we meet in your shop tonight.

8:00. There's something we have to

discuss.

We've been planning escape from a small

number of

people. But you saw what happened today

when 13 men tried to escape. The same

thing would happen

again. We cannot leave hundreds behind

to be slaughtered and they would be.

Therefore, the escape we plan must be

for every prisoner in Soviet.

Everyone, even the workers in camp 3.

Yes, all

600 or else no one. But that's

impossible. I mean, how can we get 600

people out of here? I I believe there is

a way, and I believe that we must find

it. Is right. It's an incredible idea.

600 people. Everyone in Sovable must

have a chance to be free. There is no

other choice.

Mars

Bond.

Yes, good. Agreed. All

right, let's put our minds to

discovering what this plan should be.

There is one if we can just find it.

What about this? We built 30 ladders in

my carpenter shop. They should be maybe

12t long. This is

perfect. On a dark night, we rush the

fence. 20 people go over each ladder.

Zip, zip, zip, zip, zip. In no time.

That's 600 people. Even if you could

build it, where would we hide the

ladders?

Make it 20 ladders. 30 people over each.

We'll find a place to hide them

somewhere. I don't know. And what about

the minefields outside of the fence?

It won't work, Morris. It's all right,

Morris. Keep thinking. Every idea may be

the right one. Let's talk about a

tunnel. Yes, sir. It would have to be at

least 50 yards long. But how do we do

that? It doesn't matter. Let's say we

can dig this tunnel and hide the dirt.

Then suppose we start the escape at

midnight and give each of our 600 people

one minute to get through the tunnel,

crawl through and escape into the woods.

1 minute, which is impossible, but never

mind. That adds up to 600 minutes. 10

hours. We'd still be escaping at 10:00

in the morning. Well, we have to come up

with a real plan soon. It's there. We

can find it.

We'll meet again tomorrow.

Heat

up here.

[Music]

Great

fight. Stop. Play on.

Russian soldiers. What are they doing

here? They should be in a prison of war

camp. Maybe they're all Jews.

Maybe wanted to know about the Russians.

They are all Jewish. They're here to do

heavy labor in the north camp.

Thanks. See if their officer will meet

me in the woman's barracks tonight.

I don't know what's going on, but

whatever it is, I wish you good luck.

No, I didn't.

Wait, I know.

But very

No, no, no, no, no. Now, now we'll just

see what he's like. Let's find out if

he'll trust us or whether we trust him.

Civilians and soldiers, Russians, Poles,

trusting each other. I don't know. Well,

we have to try.

Supposing they escape.

If they escape, we'll pay for it.

Lieutenal. I am Leon Felhandler.

Alexander Picheski. This is Samuel

Fryberg. A pleasure, Lieutenant

Pancheski. Everyone calls me Sasha. It

saves time and energy. Thank you. We

would like very much to know what's

happening in the outside world. Would

you tell us? Of course. What's happening

in the wall? Russia.

Please. Please, how far away is your

army? We are between 6 and 700 miles

away. We are beating back the Nazis, but

it is a slow process. Are there

partisans nearby? Could they help us?

They have many things to

do. I'm afraid here we must help

ourselves.

[Music]

Let us be open with each other.

You did not ask me here just to be

friendly with the Russian soldiers. No.

So what do you want of us? To see if we

can trust each other. You

Why should I trust you?

We're two Jews in a death camp. Perhaps

together we can devise a way of

surviving past what they have planned

for us. We must get back to the

barracks. They locked them at

10. Good night, Cleo. Good night, Sasha.

Samuel. Good

night. He wants us to trust him to do

what? I do not know for sure. An escape,

maybe. Why do we need

civilians? We are soldiers. We can

handle it

ourselves. He's trying to use

us.

He He knows this

place. Maybe we should use him to get

[Music]

out. Master,

wait. Wait. Not wait.

Are you ready? Sir, wrong. You're ready

now. We've got 10 minutes to get

everybody fat. There's extra work today.

Start surfing. Heat. Heat.

10 minutes. We're trying, sir. But not

hard enough, sir.

Don't. They will kill you.

All right, enough. Couples. Get these

people off to work.

I have a great deal of work planned for

you.

Move out. All of you do it now.

Be careful. They only need us as long as

the trains keep coming in.

We must

escape.

Yes. Escape for how many? All 600. Every

prisoner in Sovore.

The whole camp.

Move out.

The more people who know of an escape

plan,

the less chance of success. Yes, of

course. That's why it's absolutely

essential that it remain a secret until

the last minute. Then everyone must get

a chance. I will need a detailed map of

the entire camp. We can get that for

you. We can also get you a fairly good

map of the minefields outside the camp.

Mine?

minefield. Except for the front gate, it

runs all around the perimeter of the

camp. You see how terrified they are of

us?

Also, I need to know everything you can

tell me about the SS and the Ukrainian

guards. How many? What they do? We can

get that for you.

Now, the two of us cannot be seen every

night alone talking together. How can we

meet without causing suspicion?

Well, the SS is used to seeing me here.

[Music]

Perhaps if you had a girlfriend, you

would come and visit her here every

night. That would look normal to them. I

think we'd better get you a woman. It's

got to be somebody completely

trustworthy. Give me 24 hours.

[Music]

[Music]

Where's your brother?

He's sleeping in the carpenter

[Music]

shop. How did you know to kiss me there?

[Music]

I like to look at film posters when I

was a kid.

When you were a kid?

Yes. Before I came here,

[Music]

Hey, look at this.

Show

me

that face.

over. Yes, sir.

They have looked long

enough. I'm sure. And now understand

that no one steals from the Rash. Yes,

sir. This is

Belina turned them in. I saw him

watching them last night.

Thank you, Toy.

[Music]

Hello, I'm Luca. Sasha. Hello.

[Music]

For such a brief acquaintance, that was

a lovely smile.

Love at first sight. Those are my

instructions.

It is a beautiful night.

Look at the moon session. Look at the

board. Sasha,

do you want white? No, you have it. I'll

take

[Music]

it. We should go just before

dark. Enough light to find our way into

the woods. Too dark for them to haunt

us. It will give us a head start until

morning, right?

Is there an electrician? One you can

trust? Yes. Abraham Weiss. He does some

of the electrical work. Yeah. Because

among the last things we do is we cut

the electrical lines and the telephone.

It will leave them with no way to call

for help.

I understand.

How many assess are here? 16 and 125

Ukrainians. Ukrainians are all armed

right now. Yes, there's a lot of

strength

there. But when you cut out the

brains, strength is useless.

How do we get rid of 16 assess all at

once?

I don't know if my men are capable of

killing. But killing the assess is the

key to our plan.

I have a tailor. I I have a carpenter. I

I have two shoe makers. I I I ran a

flower

mill. Before the war, I was a

bookkeeper. I played the piano. I wrote

songs. They will manage because they

have

to. What is the simplest plan? I will

tell you. 600 prisoners walk out the

main

gate. They just walk out right after

evening roll

call. They just walk out the front

gate. That's impossible. That's crazy.

Except for one thing. Nothing is

impossible for us. So, let us create a

plan. We're 600 prisoners.

Walk out the main

[Applause]

gate.

[Applause]

Heat. Heat.

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Are you waiting for the Russians? Yes.

Are you in love with him? I think

so. What am I saying? I know. So,

what's he like?

I don't know. I fell in love so quickly.

I haven't found out yet.

Has he said that he loves you? No, not

until tonight. In about an hour.

Good evening,

[Music]

Sasha. This is Abraham Weiss, the

electrician that I spoke to you about.

We've just had a very interesting game.

Yes, we have. But I'm a better

electrician than I am a chess player.

Good to meet you,

Lieutenant. I'll be seeing you tomorrow

night. Good. Good.

One thing I

know, the couples have the run of the

camp. For any plan to succeed, we must

have the cooperation of at least one of

them. But they work for the Germans. Is

there anyone we can trust?

Capa

borch one or two others maybe one I know

we can't trust is a man named Berliner

must kill

him don't leave any

marks it will be done my people will do

it we talked last night about cutting

out the

brain let us suppose Suppose just

suppose that most assess were dead even

even all of them. All right. Let's

suppose it would have to happen

secretly. We would have to isolate them,

kill them one by

one in an hour at most. Well, let us

assume we can do

that. Where would we stand? The

Ukrainians will become confused. The

escape could begin,

[Music]

right? The prisoners in compound 3, the

men who can make the bodies. How do we

get them out?

This is a problem. They can't come out.

We're forbidden to go in there. We can't

even get a message through to them.

We've

tried. I don't think we can help them.

[Music]

You wanted to see me? Yes.

Can you make knives in your shop?

Like this?

Careful.

Yes. Just like that. How many? As many

as you can make. starting now. Consider

it done.

Leon, Mr. Capo, but Lina, the sooner the

better. Okay, let's go.

This had better be important or it's 25

for you. I told you sir, I don't know

what's happening in there. Kappa poor

said for me to get you right away.

That's all I

[Music]

know. Watch.

only in the belly. No marks.

[Music]

Go tell Sergeant Frenzoba Capo Berlin

he's very sick.

[Music]

Everyone must be in position by 3:30.

The killings must begin at school. They

must be done in 1 hour.

Two things I've learned about the

Germans. Their punctuality and their

greed. We'll make use of that. I think

so. For example, Sammy was making a pair

of boots for Lieutenant Nean. We can get

him to the shoe shop for a fitting and

kill him there. What about the Right in

Raga? Raichen is a problem. We know he

checks the entire camp at noon and then

again at 5 after roll call, but he

always has men with him. Vagner has no

pattern. SW is making jewelry for him.

Could you get him to the machine shop?

We need this kind of information on

every assessing

camp. We must have our killers in the

right place at the right time. Can we

get some watches so we can coordinate

our timing? Yes, I think so. From the

soldering ship.

Good Sasha. I have to be one of the

killers. I want

bargain. My men will be in charge of the

killings and I will make the

assignments. Sasha

I know I'm not supposed to talk about

it, but it's terrifying to listen to you

talking about life and death in such a

cough blood.

Well, sometimes one has to think of him

that way.

No.

No. Why not? Because everything is too

real to me.

to alive.

Sasha, would I feel for

you? I

No,

Luca. You must not say

that. Please listen to

me. I have a wife and a little daughter.

As far as I know, they're still living.

I love them both very much.

Why didn't you tell me?

I do not know.

We are

pretending, aren't we?

Pretending.

[Music]

Oh, look

at

I never

intended. Um

[Music]

[Music]

overn for 3 days. No transports are

coming in until after we're back. You

two will be in charge while we're away.

All right, we better go, gentlemen.

[Music]

We just found out that Captain Reich

Lightner and Vagner left today for a

three-day

trip. Leon and I have come to a

decision.

We escape tomorrow. Excellent. At last.

Oh, God.

Now, let us go over the

details. The killings will start at 4:00

tomorrow. Until then, it's a normal

day. Leon will be in charge of compound

2. I will be in compound one. Poor, you

will arrange for me and two of my men to

be in the carpenter shop and Toy will

run his little legs off carrying

messages between us. Who is scheduled to

take evening roll call with Frenzo?

Sergeant Wolf. He must be killed as

well. Leon and I will handle that. I

promise you.

When we hear Judah's bugle, we act

normal. We go to the assembly area. By

then, the keys should be dead. And

instead of dismissing us, Port will

march us to the main gate. We will have

pistols to take care of the guards in

the tower. We kill the two Ukrainians at

the gate. Open it and out we go. Running

like cosex into the woods. No. If

anything goes wrong before we get

out, deserve one for himself. I've been

working on the stoves in the Ukrainian

barrack. I think I can steal some rifles

and ammunition from there tomorrow.

What do you think? Good.

Meet my men just before roll call in the

kitchen. Schlommo, do not take any

unnecessary risk. He's so bull.

[Music]

Did you know that tomorrow is the

beginning of circus? Yes, it is a holy

day. I forgot. And my father was a

rabbi.

They kill on holy days. Why not the

other way around? God will forgive.

There are those here who wonder if we

can forgive

God. This plan of ours, do you think it

can really work?

Yes, but it would not hurt to pray.

[Music]

What's wrong with you? Today's supposed

to look like a normal day. You're

dressed like you're going to a wedding.

I'm sorry. It's going to be cold in the

forest. I'll go change. No, it's too

late. You'll just draw more attention to

yourself.

Who can work? You can. It makes the time

pass by.

[Applause]

[Music]

Oh my god, it's an SS. Look at

this. They're new, aren't they? Yes.

[Music]

SS men just arrived. I've never seen

them before. How many? 25, 30, I don't

know. Where? In the canteen.

Damn. What are they doing here today?

We've got to get word to Sasha right

away. God almighty, if word gets up,

we're dead. We're all dead.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

They've been there over two hours

already.

What are they doing here?

[Music]

Maybe they're just visiting.

Visiting the death camp? Supposedly,

there's a very good canteen there. A lot

of vodka. But in any case, with all

those SS, we don't have a chance. But

the longer we wait, the more chance of

something leaking out. We have two

choices. Better than this could.

[Music]

Great. I'll pass the world.

[Music]

Thank god we waited. That would have

been a disaster.

Yes, it would have. But we have to go

tomorrow no matter what before

Rightlander and Vagner get back. Too

many people know it.

[Music]

tomorrow. Stop. You work here. Come on.

[Music]

Session will be here in a few minutes.

[Music]

[Music]

Have you seen Sergeant Frenzil? No.

Where is Franzel? Outside the sergeant's

barrack. Do you know where he is to be

killed? Yes, the carpenter shop. Do not

get him in there before I tell you.

You ready? Yes. Take us to the clothing

storehouse. We'll pick up Monday on the

way. All right.

[Applause]

Sir, please. Sir, they're late.

[Music]

So far so good. I'll tell Sasha we're

ready.

of a couple.

Yes, sir. Pick three men from the

sorting shed. Yes, sir. For what job,

sir? For heavy labor is a north camp. Do

it. Yes, sir.

[Music]

You you you come with me now.

Leon, look. It's Paul check.

[Music]

He's going the wrong

way. So if you tell Sasha an SS corporal

with a machine gun is taking away Port

with three prisoners. I don't know where

they're going. I don't know what it

means, but we may have to do without

Porche now. Hurry. You have 10 minutes

before you bring Sergeant Wolf back

here.

[Music]

Sergeant Wolf, I've been looking for

you. Taylor Mundak has found a beautiful

leather coat for you. If you could stop

in the clothing store, sir. He says

it'll just take a minute. All right, in

a minute.

Look out. CL's coming in. What are we

going to do?

Get back. Get back.

[Music]

Yes, sir. Can I help you, sir? I want

the wool shirt. They're in the back,

sir. Please help

[Music]

yourself. You You don't work here. You

work in the sorting shed. What are you

doing?

[Music]

It

begins. There's no turning back

now. Hide the body.

Good afternoon, sir. The princer told me

you have a leather coat for me. Yes,

sir. I think you're going to like it

very much, sir. I might have to let it

out of the waist. It's a beautiful

leather, sir. Very expensive.

[Music]

Handsome. Very handsome. Good. You can

fit me at the tailor tomorrow. But so

would you like to see how he looks now?

[Music]

What was

that? God.

[Music]

Sergeant Beckman, I've been looking for

you. The Taylor Mund has found a

beautiful jacket for you. If you could

stop in the clothing store room, sir. He

said it'll just take a second. A jacket?

Who said I wanted a jacket? I don't

know, sir, but the tailor said it would

be perfect for you.

All right, I'll look at

it. There are two dead so far. Sergeant

Wolf and Corporal

Clatt. I thought we had Sergeant

Beckman, but he walked away.

Respect. Have you seen Sergeant Beckman?

Yes, he was here, but he left. Damn, I

lost him. He must have gone back to his

office.

Leon, if you need me, I want to

help. Can you deal with Beckman?

Yes, I can.

I'll find a way to get you there.

Sergeant Frenzel, they'd like to see you

in the carpenter shop at 4:30. Why? To

pick the color of the stain for your

bookcase. To pick the color?

Why didn't that idiot ask me when I was

in there yesterday? I don't know, sir.

Should I tell him 4:30?

No, I'll be there when I decide to be

there. Today, tomorrow or

[Music]

whenever Sasha

[Music]

Will you stand next to me at the roll

call? If you will do one thing for me, I

will try. Tell me

[Music]

if you will wear

this for good luck.

Look, it is beautiful.

[Music]

I made it for

[Music]

you. You get sir, take my horse to the

table. Yes, sir.

[Music]

Good afternoon, sir. Are my boots ready?

Yes, sir. I hope you'll be pleased with

him, sir. I want to try them on. Yes,

sir. Uh, by all means, sir. Please.

[Music]

Hey,

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

See if anyone

hurt. It's all clear. Sasha, take his

pistol. You keep it. Clear up.

Alistister's next.

[Music]

Meet me in the kitchen just before roll

call. I'm going to steal some rifles

from the Ukrainian barrack. Now, Moses,

if I'm killed,

[Music]

Don't

worry, we'll be all right.

Sergeant

Fannister. You better

hide. Shafiro Fannister.

What is it? A message from Shafiro

Beckman.

Tell him I took care of this yesterday

and not to bother me about it again.

Yes, Shafio.

Are my boots finished? Yes, sir. They're

finished. Please sit down.

I've stretched them, sir, so I think

you'll find them a lot more comfortable

now. It's for my

wife, my child.

[Music]

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

We need help. Go and ask Clut. Yes, sir.

[Music]

[Music]

Stir on pot.

[Music]

Where's Clut? I don't know. He's not

there. Shafurab. Well, I haven't got all

day. Get two men to unload those. Yes,

sir.

[Music]

[Music]

his poor

project. Where have you been? They took

me to the north camp. I couldn't get out

of it. So far, we've been very lucky,

but friends who is missing and we may

have trouble with Backward. Go over to

compound 2. Leon

needs I just can't believe it. We're

actually killing SSmen. I mean, that's a

hard thing to

believe. Killing them. It's

beautiful. I just can't believe it.

[Music]

M

magnificent. The aroma

alone but fail

me. Tell me how you do it.

You're a plumber, are you

not? Of course you

are. Only a Jewish plumber that could

concoct something so obviously

delicious. So tell me how you do

it. You do speak, don't

you? Yes, sir.

[Music]

What's

your Christian

name? I'm just trying to be

friendly. What's your Christian name? I

have no Christian name, only a Jewish

name.

My name is Hersel Zuckermanman. And

don't you forget it.

[Music]

[Music]

We can't wait any longer. It's almost

time for roll call. Go to Beckman's

office. If everything looks all right,

kill him. You come right back here. Get

Calamari and the other Russians. Take

them to compound one. Ryan, it's one we

didn't plan. I know. Thank you. Here.

Use this.

No. Please let him use this one.

Good

luck. I'll be back.

[Music]

Two more.

Come on,

move.

Move, Sergeant Beckman.

[Music]

[Music]

What are you doing here? What? What?

[Music]

Do it. Do

[Music]

it.

[Music]

We'll put it beyond the

[Music]

desk. Go back to the country.

It went well. We killed five. That makes

10 all together. 11. 20 would have been

better. Here are some pistols. Leon has

the rest. Good man,

Calamari. What's in the box? Two rifles.

Ammunition. Just one clip each.

Go to the kitchen. You take him. Ask

Slowmo if he has any ammunition.

Right. So far, we've been too

lucky. Someone's bound to catch on soon.

Judah, you better sound a bugle now.

Still no Sergeant

Franzel. If he shows up at roll call, we

can get him there. If

not, God help us.

[Music]

[Music]

Follow

[Music]

me. Follow the force. We do it every

day. Line up.

[Music]

Follow me.

[Music]

[Music]

Are you wearing it? You think I would

[Music]

not? It's going to be cold at night.

[Music]

Question. Where have you seen him? He'll

be here. He'll be here.

[Music]

Put the bullets here. You see?

Yeah. Here. I don't have to use this.

[Music]

Everything going all right? Everything's

fine. How long do we stay here? until I

blow the whistle for roll call.

[Music]

More than 10 minutes before I'll call.

I don't think we can wait that long.

Look what's happening.

[Music]

You must go

Stop.

Stop. We'll never make it to the front

gate.

Now listen to

Let the world know what has happened

Over 300 prisoners escaped safely to the

forest. Here, Ada and Sak Lickman found

each other. On the run, they managed to

stay alive. After the war, they were

married and immigrated to Israel, where

they still live in Holland near Tel

Aviv, close to other Sovore

[Music]

survivors. Toy with two other boys, was

hidden by a Polish farmer who eventually

shot them for their money. With a bullet

in his jaw, Toy pretended to be dead and

managed to stay alive till liberated.

Thomas Toy Blood married and has three

children. Today he lives in Santa

Barbara, California. Yet he returns each

year to Sabre in remembrance of his

family who died

there. Haim and Selma made it to a small

farm where they were given shelter until

the liberation. Happily married for more

than 40 years and the parents of two

grown children, Haim and Selma Engel now

live in Connecticut.

Stanislaw Schlommo Schmidzner joined the

Partisans and became an active fighter

against the Nazis in Poland. There is no

record of what happened to his younger

brother Moses. After the war, Schlommo

immigrated to Brazil where he married

and raised two sons. In South America,

he was largely responsible for the

discovery of Sergeant Gustav Vagnner in

1978. Brazilian law did not allow for

Sergeant Vagnner's extradition, but a

year later, he was found stabbed to

death. The records list Vagnner's death

suicide.

Captain France Rush Lightner was

reassigned to Triest and was killed by

partisans less than 3 months after the

sober

revolt. Esther Turner managed to hide

from the Germans and from hostile Polish

nationals until the Russian liberation.

She moved to the United States and now

lives with her husband Irving in New

Jersey.

Esther has testified in many war crimes

trials in West Germany, including the

trial of Sergeant Eric Bower, who died

in prison. Esther and Thomas Blatt

testified at the trial of Sergeant

Frenzil, who was convicted and is still

alive, serving a life

sentence. Sasha Pasheski and many of his

men made it back to the Russian lines to

rejoin the fight against the Nazis. In

1963, Sasha gave key testimony in a war

crimes trial against 11 Ukrainian guards

at Sovore. 10 of them were sentenced to

death. Today, at 77, Sasha is retired

and lives with his wife Olga in Rosto on

the dawn in the Soviet

Union. Luca vanished in the Polish

countryside. All efforts, including

Sasha's, to locate her proved

unsuccessful. The good luck shirt Luca

gave to Sasha is now displayed in a

Russian museum honoring those who fought

and died for freedom during World War

II. Leon Feld Hendler fought his way

back to Lublin in Poland where he

remained safe until the liberation.

There he ran a small business employing

and helping many Jews who had survived

the camps including soore. 14 months

after the escape, in a confrontation

with a group of anti-semmites, Leon was

murdered by his countrymen because he

was a

Jew. October the 14th, 1943, Soore, a

Nazi death camp where over one quarter

of a million Jews were killed. But in

the revolt that day, over 300 of the 600

prisoners made it to freedom, something

which had never happened before and

would never happen again in World War

II. Within days, SS Chief Himmler

ordered the camp closed, dismantled, and

planted with pine

trees. In that forest now stands this

monument to the dead. It is also a

reminder of the valiant fighters of

Soibbor who were among those who began

to make the idea and the vow never again

a

reality.
