23
00:03:01,478 --> 00:03:04,164
Even a peaceful landscape...

24
00:03:05,650 --> 00:03:10,357
even a prairie with crows flying,
harvests and fires...

25
00:03:22,987 --> 00:03:26,342
Even a road they pass by
cars, peasants, couples...

26
00:03:26,404 --> 00:03:29,775
even a quiet village
with fairs and bell towers,

27
00:03:29,837 --> 00:03:33,141
everything can lead us
to a concentration camp.

28
00:03:35,758 --> 00:03:41,580
Struthof, Oranienburg, Auschwitz,
Neuengamme, Belsen, Ravensbrýck, Dachau,

29
00:03:41,642 --> 00:03:44,762
they were names like any
others on maps and guides.

30
00:03:45,186 --> 00:03:48,055
The blood clotted,
mouths fell silent.

31
00:03:48,117 --> 00:03:50,443
The blocks are visited today
just for the cameras.

32
00:03:50,505 --> 00:03:55,301
The stubborn grass has covered the earth again
previously trampled on by prisoners.

33
00:03:56,031 --> 00:03:58,730
The current no longer passes
by electrical wires.

34
00:03:58,831 --> 00:04:01,228
No more footsteps are heard,
It's ours.

35
00:04:08,128 --> 00:04:09,900
1933.

36
00:04:11,748 --> 00:04:13,857
The machine starts moving.

37
00:04:36,171 --> 00:04:38,466
It takes a nation
without discordant voices.

38
00:04:44,516 --> 00:04:45,949
No disputes.

39
00:04:46,439 --> 00:04:48,149
To work.

40
00:04:49,626 --> 00:04:53,153
A concentration camp is built
like a stadium or a large hotel.

41
00:04:53,254 --> 00:04:56,191
With contractors,
budgets, competition...

42
00:04:56,292 --> 00:04:57,839
and, without a doubt, bribes.

43
00:04:58,282 --> 00:05:01,114
The style is not imposed,
It's up to the imagination.

44
00:05:01,411 --> 00:05:02,975
Alpine style...

45
00:05:03,393 --> 00:05:04,957
garage style...

46
00:05:05,583 --> 00:05:07,347
Japanese style...

47
00:05:07,461 --> 00:05:09,325
no style.

48
00:05:09,547 --> 00:05:11,829
Calmly the architects
design these porticos

49
00:05:11,891 --> 00:05:14,335
intended to be
transposed only once.

50
00:05:15,701 --> 00:05:18,307
Meanwhile, Burger, German worker,

51
00:05:18,517 --> 00:05:21,124
Stern, a Jewish student from Amsterdam,

52
00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:23,956
Schmulski, merchant from Krakow,

53
00:05:24,465 --> 00:05:26,501
Annette, student from Bordeaux,

54
00:05:26,563 --> 00:05:30,240
everyone leads their lives without knowing that,
1000 km from where they live,

55
00:05:30,302 --> 00:05:32,158
They already have a reserved seat.

56
00:05:34,265 --> 00:05:36,782
The day has come when
your blocks are ready...

57
00:05:36,882 --> 00:05:38,631
They're just missing.

58
00:05:39,564 --> 00:05:41,650
Segregated in Warsaw.

59
00:05:43,631 --> 00:05:47,637
Deportees from Lodz, Prague,
Brussels, Athens,

60
00:05:47,699 --> 00:05:51,138
Zagreb, Odessa or Rome.

61
00:05:55,566 --> 00:05:57,651
Pithiviers internees.

62
00:05:59,528 --> 00:06:02,014
The raid of the V�lodrome d'Hiver.

63
00:06:03,855 --> 00:06:06,426
Resistance members arrested
in Compigne.

64
00:06:07,872 --> 00:06:12,756
Crowds taken by surprise,
by mistake or by chance,

65
00:06:12,893 --> 00:06:14,636
they continue on their way to the fields.

66
00:08:16,052 --> 00:08:17,903
Closed, locked carriages.

67
00:08:18,398 --> 00:08:20,914
Crammed, a hundred
deported by wagon.

68
00:08:20,976 --> 00:08:25,376
No day or night.
Just hunger, thirst, suffocation, insomnia.

69
00:08:27,107 --> 00:08:29,600
A message is thrown
and occasionally collected.

70
00:08:30,909 --> 00:08:33,195
Death makes its first choice.

71
00:08:35,081 --> 00:08:38,200
A second one is done upon arrival,
At night, in the fog.

72
00:08:44,256 --> 00:08:47,384
Today, on this same road,
It's daytime and sunny.

73
00:08:47,853 --> 00:08:49,817
We walked through it slowly.

74
00:08:50,013 --> 00:08:51,767
What are you looking for?

75
00:08:52,525 --> 00:08:55,504
Of traces of corpses
vomited by opening doors?

76
00:08:55,721 --> 00:08:57,636
Or the steps of
first to disembark,

77
00:08:57,698 --> 00:08:59,755
sent to gunshots
until the entrance to the field,

78
00:08:59,817 --> 00:09:02,885
amidst the barking of dogs
spotlight beams,

79
00:09:02,947 --> 00:09:04,798
with the flame of the crematorium in the distance,

80
00:09:04,860 --> 00:09:08,196
in one of those nighttime performances
so much to the taste of the Nazis.

81
00:09:27,326 --> 00:09:28,972
First view of the field.

82
00:09:29,082 --> 00:09:30,577
It's another planet.

83
00:09:36,018 --> 00:09:37,747
Bath and Disinfection.

84
00:09:37,826 --> 00:09:39,282
Under the pretext of hygiene,

85
00:09:39,343 --> 00:09:43,190
nakedness strips in one fell swoop
the self-love of those already humiliated.

86
00:09:43,264 --> 00:09:44,826
Shaved...

87
00:09:45,324 --> 00:09:46,887
tattooed...

88
00:09:47,460 --> 00:09:49,025
numbered.

89
00:09:49,769 --> 00:09:52,777
Subject to a hierarchical game
still incomprehensible.

90
00:09:54,026 --> 00:09:56,051
Dressed in a striped blue outfit,

91
00:09:56,167 --> 00:10:00,075
sometimes classified as "Nacht
und Neibeul", Night and Fog,

92
00:10:00,927 --> 00:10:02,872
Marked with the triangle
politicians' red,

93
00:10:02,935 --> 00:10:05,502
the deportee presents himself first
to the bearer of the green triangle.

94
00:10:05,526 --> 00:10:08,461
A common criminal
became the head of a subspecies.

95
00:10:09,298 --> 00:10:13,466
Above this, the Kapo,
almost always a common criminal.

96
00:10:14,643 --> 00:10:18,384
Higher up, the SS, the untouchable. In order to
drive towards it, just 3 m away.

97
00:10:18,874 --> 00:10:21,649
At the top, the commander.
From afar, he presides over the ritual.

98
00:10:21,773 --> 00:10:23,411
It appears to ignore the field.

99
00:10:24,929 --> 00:10:27,016
Which, however, is not ignored.

100
00:10:27,994 --> 00:10:30,589
This reality of the fields,
despised by those who built them,

101
00:10:30,690 --> 00:10:33,296
inconceivable for those who suffered there,

102
00:10:33,741 --> 00:10:37,292
What chance would we have of rescuing?

103
00:10:39,612 --> 00:10:43,193
These wooden cubicles, these
cots where three slept,

104
00:10:43,870 --> 00:10:47,771
this den where they hid,
where people ate greedily,

105
00:10:47,887 --> 00:10:50,274
where sleep itself was a threat.

106
00:10:50,803 --> 00:10:54,453
No description or image could
translate its true dimension...

107
00:10:54,972 --> 00:10:57,161
one of unrelenting terror.

108
00:10:57,915 --> 00:10:59,219
There would still be a lack of
straw mattress

109
00:10:59,220 --> 00:11:01,260
used to hide
food and valuables...

110
00:11:01,350 --> 00:11:05,508
the blanket object of disputes,
denunciations, curses,

111
00:11:05,609 --> 00:11:07,794
the orders transmitted
in all languages...

112
00:11:07,895 --> 00:11:11,374
the lightning entry of the SS,
cravings for control or pure fun.

113
00:11:13,363 --> 00:11:17,055
Of these brick dormitories,
of these threatening dreams...

114
00:11:17,632 --> 00:11:19,751
we can show them
just a glimpse...

115
00:11:19,932 --> 00:11:21,331
the color.

116
00:11:49,934 --> 00:11:51,613
This is the scenario.

117
00:11:51,772 --> 00:11:55,707
Buildings that could have been
stables, barns, workshops.

118
00:11:56,051 --> 00:11:58,241
A poor land that
became a wasteland.

119
00:11:58,823 --> 00:12:01,156
An indifferent autumn sky.

120
00:12:02,049 --> 00:12:03,878
Here's what's left for us to imagine

121
00:12:03,917 --> 00:12:06,403
nights filled with screams of despair,
flea control.

122
00:12:06,465 --> 00:12:09,588
Teeth-chattering nights.
You need to sleep quickly.

123
00:12:10,111 --> 00:12:13,543
Waking up with a start, with jerks,
Looking for stolen goods.

124
00:12:13,605 --> 00:12:16,352
Five in the morning, grouping
endless on Appelplatz,

125
00:12:16,428 --> 00:12:18,841
The dead in the night
always complicating the count.

126
00:12:18,905 --> 00:12:23,040
An orchestra plays operetta marches
It's off to the quarry or factory.

127
00:12:27,359 --> 00:12:30,563
I work in the snow, so
turned into frozen mud.

128
00:12:34,267 --> 00:12:37,489
I work in the August heat,
amidst thirst and dysentery.

129
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,100
Three thousand Spaniards lost their lives

130
00:12:48,153 --> 00:12:51,163
in the construction of this staircase
which led to the Mauthausen quarry.

131
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,165
I work in underground factories.

132
00:12:58,227 --> 00:13:02,156
Month after month they bury themselves,
they hide, they kill.

133
00:13:02,778 --> 00:13:06,301
They have women's names:
Dora, Laura...

134
00:13:06,988 --> 00:13:10,575
But these strange workers with
less than 30 kg are not reliable...

135
00:13:12,702 --> 00:13:14,567
The SS have them in their sights...

136
00:13:14,888 --> 00:13:16,453
they watch us...

137
00:13:16,858 --> 00:13:18,423
they group them...

138
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,734
inspect and search them
before returning to the field.

139
00:13:25,802 --> 00:13:29,435
Rustic posters guide us
back to their seats.

140
00:13:29,941 --> 00:13:32,755
For Kapo all that remains is
count the day's victims.

141
00:13:36,549 --> 00:13:39,879
For the deportee, the only obsession remains
that guides your life and your dreams:

142
00:13:39,910 --> 00:13:41,269
Eat.

143
00:13:41,395 --> 00:13:42,970
The soup.

144
00:13:43,141 --> 00:13:44,844
Each spoonful is priceless.

145
00:13:45,609 --> 00:13:48,499
One spoonful less
It's one day less of life.

146
00:13:50,950 --> 00:13:54,018
Two are exchanged,
three cigarettes for a cup of soup.

147
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,876
Too weak, many cannot
Defend your ration from thieves.

148
00:13:57,938 --> 00:14:01,161
They wait for the mud,
the snow takes them away.

149
00:14:02,527 --> 00:14:06,480
They lie down wherever they are
to suffer their agony in silence.

150
00:14:15,873 --> 00:14:18,165
The latrines, the abortions.

151
00:14:19,618 --> 00:14:21,641
Skeletons with bloated bellies,

152
00:14:21,703 --> 00:14:24,355
here came seven,
eight times a night.

153
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,397
The soup was diuretic.

154
00:14:26,915 --> 00:14:30,255
Woe to those who come across
with a drunk Kapo in the moonlight.

155
00:14:31,090 --> 00:14:32,972
The prisoners
They looked at each other in fear...

156
00:14:33,020 --> 00:14:35,418
on the lookout for symptoms
already very familiar.

157
00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:37,609
Blood loss was
sign of certain death.

158
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,341
Black market, where you could buy,
if he sold it, he killed himself.

159
00:14:42,403 --> 00:14:44,011
Meetings were arranged.

160
00:14:44,215 --> 00:14:46,481
The news passed,
true and false.

161
00:14:46,784 --> 00:14:49,447
Resistance groups were organized.

162
00:14:50,478 --> 00:14:54,651
A society took shape,
a shape carved by terror.

163
00:14:54,751 --> 00:14:58,029
Less insane, however, than the SS order
expressed with the following precepts:

164
00:14:58,333 --> 00:15:00,418
"Cleanliness is Health."

165
00:15:01,115 --> 00:15:03,201
"Work is Freedom."

166
00:15:04,291 --> 00:15:06,434
"To each his own."

167
00:15:07,685 --> 00:15:11,544
"A Lice is Death".
What about an SS officer then?

168
00:15:11,896 --> 00:15:13,898
Each field holds a surprise.

169
00:15:13,943 --> 00:15:15,513
A symphony orchestra.

170
00:15:16,773 --> 00:15:18,754
A zoo.

171
00:15:20,086 --> 00:15:23,199
Greenhouses where Himmler
cultivated fragile plants.

172
00:15:24,782 --> 00:15:26,354
Goethe's oak
in Buchenwald.

173
00:15:26,416 --> 00:15:29,490
The field was built around it,
but the oak was respected.

174
00:15:30,125 --> 00:15:33,254
An ephemeral orphanage,
constantly renewed.

175
00:15:35,102 --> 00:15:37,080
A block for the invalids.

176
00:15:39,947 --> 00:15:43,331
Ah, the true world,
of bucolic landscapes,

177
00:15:43,393 --> 00:15:46,024
of times gone by,
can appear from afar...

178
00:15:46,092 --> 00:15:47,764
but not that far away.

179
00:15:48,445 --> 00:15:50,737
For the deportee it was an image.

180
00:15:51,468 --> 00:15:54,660
He just belonged
to this finite, closed universe,

181
00:15:54,743 --> 00:15:56,499
limited by observation towers...

182
00:15:56,577 --> 00:15:58,977
from where the soldiers watched the
good functioning of the field,

183
00:15:59,039 --> 00:16:00,807
they looked incessantly
the deportees,

184
00:16:00,888 --> 00:16:04,094
occasionally killing them
simply lack of anything to do.

185
00:16:15,499 --> 00:16:20,037
Everything was an excuse for fun,
for punishment, humiliation.

186
00:16:20,750 --> 00:16:22,840
The calls lasted for hours on end.

187
00:16:28,696 --> 00:16:30,786
A poorly made bed:
twenty blows.

188
00:16:32,799 --> 00:16:36,240
Don't draw attention,
do not revere your gods.

189
00:16:36,516 --> 00:16:39,000
They have their scaffolds,
their courtyards to kill.

190
00:16:39,456 --> 00:16:41,621
This courtyard in Block 11,
out of sight,

191
00:16:41,775 --> 00:16:43,778
allocated for the shootings...

192
00:16:44,221 --> 00:16:47,127
with protected walls
against the ricochet of bullets.

193
00:16:47,971 --> 00:16:50,553
That castle of Harteim, from where
Buses with tinted windows depart

194
00:16:50,589 --> 00:16:52,777
with passengers who
they will never be seen again.

195
00:16:54,125 --> 00:16:58,086
Black transports leaving at night
and whose fate no one knows.

196
00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:09,965
But human resistance is incredible.

197
00:17:10,027 --> 00:17:12,139
The body bowed by fatigue,
but the spirit works.

198
00:17:12,163 --> 00:17:14,246
Hands covered in
bandages work.

199
00:17:14,326 --> 00:17:17,271
Spoons are made,
puppets that are hidden...

200
00:17:17,969 --> 00:17:19,167
monsters...

201
00:17:21,962 --> 00:17:23,213
boxes.

202
00:17:25,924 --> 00:17:28,610
You can write and take notes.

203
00:17:30,094 --> 00:17:32,179
Exercise your memory through dreams.

204
00:17:32,322 --> 00:17:33,980
"Crayfish � la basquaise"

205
00:17:34,046 --> 00:17:36,132
One can think of God.

206
00:17:37,809 --> 00:17:39,443
They can even
organize politically,

207
00:17:39,467 --> 00:17:41,059
competing with the
common criminals...

208
00:17:41,121 --> 00:17:43,221
the internal control of life in the countryside.

209
00:17:47,381 --> 00:17:49,779
Take care of your companions
in worse condition.

210
00:17:50,321 --> 00:17:53,553
They share their own ration,
create aid systems.

211
00:17:58,792 --> 00:18:03,445
As a last resort, load the
most at risk to the hospital.

212
00:18:05,083 --> 00:18:07,811
Approaching that door was already
the illusion of true illness...

213
00:18:07,961 --> 00:18:09,797
the hope of a bed.

214
00:18:10,475 --> 00:18:13,310
But it was also the risk
of death by syringe.

215
00:18:17,355 --> 00:18:20,835
Medicines are scarce,
paper bandages.

216
00:18:20,973 --> 00:18:24,155
The same ointment works for all
the illnesses, all the wounds.

217
00:18:26,391 --> 00:18:29,520
Sometimes the hungry patient
eats its own mooring.

218
00:18:33,222 --> 00:18:35,537
In the end, all deportees
they have the same face.

219
00:18:35,616 --> 00:18:38,572
Following the same ageless model,
they die with their eyes open.

220
00:18:42,416 --> 00:18:44,502
There was a surgical suite.

221
00:18:44,722 --> 00:18:47,392
A little further it would be said to be
of a real clinic.

222
00:18:53,060 --> 00:18:54,832
Doctor SS.

223
00:18:57,195 --> 00:18:59,073
Unsettling nurse.

224
00:19:03,158 --> 00:19:05,243
There is a decoration, but behind...

225
00:19:05,766 --> 00:19:08,416
useless operations, amputations...

226
00:19:08,666 --> 00:19:10,958
experimental mutilations.

227
00:19:14,317 --> 00:19:17,444
The Kapos, like the SS surgeons,
they can practice at will.

228
00:19:27,454 --> 00:19:31,135
The chemical industry sends to the field
samples of your toxic products...

229
00:19:32,033 --> 00:19:35,160
or buy lots from deportees
for your experiences.

230
00:19:35,579 --> 00:19:38,063
Of these guinea pigs, some will survive...

231
00:19:38,810 --> 00:19:40,060
they will be castrated...

232
00:19:43,815 --> 00:19:45,587
burned by matches.

233
00:19:49,969 --> 00:19:52,995
There is still one whose skin will remain
scarred for the rest of your life,

234
00:19:53,612 --> 00:19:55,281
whatever.

235
00:19:58,107 --> 00:20:00,471
Of these women and men,
the administrative offices...

236
00:20:00,495 --> 00:20:02,691
keep their faces,
delivered upon arrival.

237
00:20:11,445 --> 00:20:14,989
Names are also registered.
Names of twenty-two nations,

238
00:20:15,051 --> 00:20:18,162
filling out hundreds of records,
thousands of files.

239
00:20:18,227 --> 00:20:20,519
A red dash indicates the dead.

240
00:20:21,373 --> 00:20:23,843
Deportees deal with this
crazy accounting...

241
00:20:23,895 --> 00:20:25,111
always false...

242
00:20:25,176 --> 00:20:27,351
under the gunpoint of the SS and
of the privileged Kapos,

243
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,360
these are the most prominent,
the field elite.

244
00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:40,996
Kapo has his own room,
where can you store your booty

245
00:20:41,058 --> 00:20:43,032
and at night receive his favorite young women.

246
00:20:53,250 --> 00:20:55,052
Next to the field,
the commander has his mansion

247
00:20:55,086 --> 00:20:58,003
where your wife contributes
to preserve family life...

248
00:20:58,065 --> 00:21:01,419
and sometimes mundane, as in
any other trim.

249
00:21:03,253 --> 00:21:05,410
She might get a little more bored.

250
00:21:05,557 --> 00:21:07,406
The war simply doesn't end.

251
00:21:09,931 --> 00:21:12,451
More fortunate, the
Kapos had a brothel.

252
00:21:13,060 --> 00:21:16,540
Better nourished prisoners, but
like the others, doomed to die.

253
00:21:16,602 --> 00:21:17,687
From these windows,

254
00:21:17,688 --> 00:21:20,479
It was not uncommon to throw pieces of
bread for the companions outside.

255
00:21:21,507 --> 00:21:25,089
In this way, the SS managed to
create a real city

256
00:21:25,151 --> 00:21:28,279
with hospital, reserved neighborhood,
residential neighborhood...

257
00:21:28,341 --> 00:21:30,549
and even, yes, a prison.

258
00:21:39,546 --> 00:21:42,256
It is useless to describe what
happened in these dungeons.

259
00:21:44,045 --> 00:21:47,093
In these cages, designed not to
if you can stand or lie down,

260
00:21:47,171 --> 00:21:50,653
men and women were
deliberately tortured for days on end.

261
00:21:57,376 --> 00:21:59,879
The ventilation nozzles
they don't muffle the screams.

262
00:22:04,621 --> 00:22:06,187
1942.

263
00:22:12,845 --> 00:22:14,825
Himmler visits the camps.

264
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:18,475
It is necessary to exterminate,
but productively.

265
00:22:18,647 --> 00:22:20,615
Leaving productivity
in charge of its technicians,

266
00:22:20,677 --> 00:22:23,160
Himmler dedicates himself to
problem of extermination.

267
00:22:31,985 --> 00:22:33,757
Plants are studied.

268
00:22:36,448 --> 00:22:38,012
The models.

269
00:22:38,479 --> 00:22:41,938
These are executed and the
deportees participate in the construction.

270
00:22:45,256 --> 00:22:49,529
Crematoriums could go wrong
even a postcard.

271
00:22:49,983 --> 00:22:53,765
Later today,
tourists take photos.

272
00:22:54,537 --> 00:22:56,726
Deportation extends
to all of Europe.

273
00:23:02,669 --> 00:23:05,627
Trains go astray, stop,
leave again,

274
00:23:05,689 --> 00:23:08,822
are bombed, and
finally arrive.

275
00:23:12,101 --> 00:23:14,765
For some, the selection had already been made.

276
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,475
For others, screening is immediate.

277
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:21,986
Those on the left will work.

278
00:23:22,047 --> 00:23:23,643
The ones on the right...

279
00:23:25,081 --> 00:23:28,313
These images were taken a few
moments before an extermination.

280
00:23:48,227 --> 00:23:51,772
Killing by hand takes time.
Zyklon gas boxes are ordered.

281
00:23:53,753 --> 00:23:56,881
Nothing distinguished a chamber
of gas from a normal block.

282
00:23:58,863 --> 00:24:02,929
Inside, a fake shower room
welcomed newcomers.

283
00:24:18,568 --> 00:24:20,132
The doors were closed.

284
00:24:23,508 --> 00:24:25,296
It was observed.

285
00:24:35,191 --> 00:24:38,575
The only sign,
It is necessary to know,

286
00:24:38,692 --> 00:24:41,464
It's that grooved ceiling
by nail marks.

287
00:24:42,116 --> 00:24:44,532
Even the concrete was torn apart.

288
00:25:08,190 --> 00:25:11,631
When crematoriums no longer provide
As soon as possible, bonfires are resorted to.

289
00:25:34,255 --> 00:25:37,799
However, the new ovens can handle
of thousands of bodies per day.

290
00:26:31,754 --> 00:26:33,319
Everything is used.

291
00:26:34,453 --> 00:26:36,642
Here are the reserves of
Nazis at war...

292
00:26:37,437 --> 00:26:39,209
their barns.

293
00:26:49,090 --> 00:26:51,696
All women's hair.

294
00:27:21,964 --> 00:27:25,509
At fifteen pfennigs a kilo,
fabrics are made.

295
00:27:35,297 --> 00:27:36,861
With the bones...

296
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:48,711
fertilizer...

297
00:27:48,819 --> 00:27:50,322
Anyway, we tried.

298
00:27:50,729 --> 00:27:52,232
With the bodies...

299
00:27:52,293 --> 00:27:54,554
Well, what can you say?

300
00:28:05,949 --> 00:28:07,930
With the bodies, the
The objective is to manufacture...

301
00:28:08,202 --> 00:28:09,861
soap.

302
00:28:11,921 --> 00:28:13,693
As for the skin...

303
00:28:23,776 --> 00:28:27,677
1945. The fields expand,
are crowded.

304
00:28:27,731 --> 00:28:31,269
Cities of a hundred thousand
inhabitants, saturated.

305
00:28:31,324 --> 00:28:34,851
Big industry is interested in this
infinitely renewable labor.

306
00:28:34,897 --> 00:28:37,519
Factories have their fields
private individuals, banned from the SS.

307
00:28:37,596 --> 00:28:43,113
Steyer, Krupp, Heinkel, I.G. Farben,
Siemens and Hermann G�ring

308
00:28:43,175 --> 00:28:45,220
they supply themselves with this market.

309
00:28:45,281 --> 00:28:49,222
The Nazis can win the war. These
new cities are part of the economy.

310
00:28:49,638 --> 00:28:51,202
But they lose.

311
00:28:51,790 --> 00:28:55,325
There is a lack of coal for the crematoriums,
there is a lack of bread for men.

312
00:28:55,409 --> 00:28:57,553
The corpses pile up
the country streets.

313
00:28:57,852 --> 00:28:59,417
Typhus.

314
00:29:00,138 --> 00:29:02,326
When allies open the doors...

315
00:29:35,184 --> 00:29:36,747
All doors.

316
00:30:15,265 --> 00:30:17,549
The deportees look on without understanding.

317
00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:21,907
Are you free? Everyday life
Will we recognize them?

318
00:30:27,546 --> 00:30:29,946
"I'm not responsible",
says Kapo.

319
00:30:33,826 --> 00:30:36,850
"I'm not responsible",
says the officer.

320
00:30:38,943 --> 00:30:41,133
"I'm not responsible."

321
00:30:44,209 --> 00:30:46,504
So who is responsible?

322
00:31:09,610 --> 00:31:11,293
The moment I tell you...

323
00:31:11,496 --> 00:31:15,036
the cold water of marshes and ruins
covers the mass graves.

324
00:31:15,858 --> 00:31:18,883
A cold, opaque water like
our terrible memory.

325
00:31:21,349 --> 00:31:23,485
The war fell asleep.

326
00:31:24,258 --> 00:31:26,344
An eye always open.

327
00:31:33,603 --> 00:31:37,635
The faithful grass grew again in the
Appelplatz and around the blocks.

328
00:31:38,964 --> 00:31:41,780
An abandoned village,
but still threatening.

329
00:31:53,420 --> 00:31:55,496
Crematoriums are no longer used,

330
00:31:55,660 --> 00:31:57,745
Nazi artifices
are a thing of the past.

331
00:31:58,992 --> 00:32:02,305
Nine million dead
haunt this landscape.

332
00:32:08,976 --> 00:32:11,365
Who among us stands guard
in this strange observatory...

333
00:32:11,442 --> 00:32:13,892
to prevent us from
arrival of new executioners?

334
00:32:15,055 --> 00:32:17,766
Their faces will be
different from ours?

335
00:32:18,366 --> 00:32:20,242
Somewhere, between us,

336
00:32:20,306 --> 00:32:22,988
there are still lucky Kapos,
rehabilitated chiefs,

337
00:32:23,089 --> 00:32:24,923
unknown whistleblowers.

338
00:32:25,429 --> 00:32:28,882
There still remain those who did not believe,
or they only believed from time to time.

339
00:32:29,947 --> 00:32:32,768
There are we, who look
sincerely to these ruins,

340
00:32:33,127 --> 00:32:34,763
as if the old man
concentration monster

341
00:32:34,764 --> 00:32:36,790
were dead
under the rubble.

342
00:32:37,030 --> 00:32:40,587
That we seem to harbor some hope
in front of this image that moves away...

343
00:32:40,649 --> 00:32:43,937
as if we were healed
of concentrative plague.

344
00:32:44,050 --> 00:32:46,419
We, who seem
believe that all this

345
00:32:46,444 --> 00:32:48,853
belongs to one time,
to one country...

346
00:32:48,968 --> 00:32:51,366
that we don't think about
look around us,

347
00:32:52,114 --> 00:32:55,348
and that we do not hear the incessant scream.
