< Fateless >
2
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:33,874
l didn't go to school today.
3
00:02:33,958 --> 00:02:35,665
Well, if only to ask my teacher
4
00:02:35,666 --> 00:02:37,499
to let me go home
5
00:02:38,166 --> 00:02:43,207
l gave him father's letter in which he
asked for it referred to family reasons.
6
00:02:43,916 --> 00:02:45,957
He asked what the reason was.
7
00:02:46,625 --> 00:02:49,790
l told him father had been
called up for forced labour.
8
00:02:50,833 --> 00:02:57,249
He left it at that. l went straight to our shop.
9
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:59,790
Father said he'd be waiting there.
10
00:03:15,083 --> 00:03:20,665
Hello, my friend. That's a fine
decoration you've got there.
11
00:03:26,333 --> 00:03:27,957
You won't have to wear it for long,
12
00:03:27,958 --> 00:03:29,624
this outrage will be over soon.
13
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,457
Did your teacher let you go?
14
00:03:32,791 --> 00:03:35,332
Yes. l said you'd been
called up for forced labour.
15
00:03:35,833 --> 00:03:37,749
- And?
- He let me go.
16
00:03:39,583 --> 00:03:43,374
So, that's the warehouse settled, Mr Suto.
17
00:03:44,125 --> 00:03:46,957
Things go smoothly between
old acquaintances, Mr Koves.
18
00:03:47,625 --> 00:03:51,415
Maybe we should get rid of everything
19
00:03:51,416 --> 00:03:54,249
before the authorities lay
their hands on the whole outfit.
20
00:03:54,833 --> 00:03:58,915
Prices have never been this high!
21
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,207
l'll leave it to you. l know l can trust you.
22
00:04:03,625 --> 00:04:08,582
Well then. . . it'd be best
to hand over the goods right away.
23
00:04:09,666 --> 00:04:13,290
- Goods?
- Of course, the goods!
24
00:04:13,458 --> 00:04:16,999
l should give you a receipt.
25
00:04:17,041 --> 00:04:20,832
Oh, come on, Mr Suto...
We don't need anything like that.
26
00:04:21,583 --> 00:04:23,999
l know you trust me, Mr Koves,
27
00:04:24,333 --> 00:04:27,124
but there's a proper way to do things.
28
00:04:27,875 --> 00:04:30,374
lsn't that right, Mrs Koves?
29
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:36,832
Anyway we'll be in constant touch.
30
00:04:38,041 --> 00:04:40,707
To do the accounts if nothing else.
31
00:04:40,833 --> 00:04:45,582
We are counting on your help and experience.
32
00:04:47,375 --> 00:04:50,165
Just as we have these past years.
33
00:04:50,583 --> 00:04:53,374
Goodbye and good luck.
34
00:04:53,833 --> 00:04:56,707
All l can say is, Mr Koves...
35
00:04:59,416 --> 00:05:02,582
l'll see you very soon.
36
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:07,707
l hope so too.
37
00:05:29,041 --> 00:05:31,249
One thing less to worry about.
38
00:05:32,041 --> 00:05:35,040
Shouldn't we have taken the receipt?
39
00:05:35,166 --> 00:05:40,540
There's no point when even
the lawful authorities rob us.
40
00:05:41,583 --> 00:05:43,665
Did you call the jewellery "goods" for my sake?
41
00:05:43,916 --> 00:05:45,499
l know what's in that box.
42
00:05:45,916 --> 00:05:47,957
lt's secret, understand?
43
00:05:50,541 --> 00:05:52,957
Hello, yes, it's me.
44
00:05:53,708 --> 00:05:57,707
l'm sorry, l can't let you see him today.
45
00:05:59,541 --> 00:06:07,082
l'd like him to be with me on this last day. . .
before l leave home.
46
00:06:07,083 --> 00:06:10,082
You're 14 and a half now.
47
00:06:10,833 --> 00:06:15,374
l know your father can count on you
to behave properly on this sad day.
48
00:06:16,541 --> 00:06:18,332
Your mother's on the line.
49
00:06:20,458 --> 00:06:25,832
No, l can't. lt's his last day. You heard.
50
00:06:27,125 --> 00:06:28,832
Of course, Monday. Right.
51
00:06:43,333 --> 00:06:46,415
l won't be needing these any more.
52
00:07:12,166 --> 00:07:14,957
- Are you hungry?
- Terribly.
53
00:07:29,625 --> 00:07:31,957
You've hardly taken any.
54
00:07:33,375 --> 00:07:35,540
l can't eat a thing.
55
00:07:36,041 --> 00:07:37,665
You mustn't despair.
56
00:07:48,916 --> 00:07:50,915
l'll miss you.
57
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:54,207
You'll be on your own.
58
00:07:54,333 --> 00:07:56,499
But l won't.
59
00:07:57,916 --> 00:08:01,790
We'll take care of each other till you come home.
60
00:08:01,791 --> 00:08:04,374
- Won't we, Gyurka?
- Yes.
61
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:12,040
Just go on eat.
62
00:08:13,083 --> 00:08:15,124
l'm not hungry.
63
00:08:32,750 --> 00:08:34,374
- Hello.
- Hello.
64
00:08:34,375 --> 00:08:36,040
Don't! Stupid!
65
00:08:36,250 --> 00:08:38,249
What about last night, during the air-raid?
66
00:08:38,375 --> 00:08:41,749
When we went back in the attic?
And l heard the bombs.
67
00:08:41,833 --> 00:08:45,207
l was just scared. And you took advantage.
68
00:08:49,208 --> 00:08:50,249
Are you angry?
69
00:08:50,666 --> 00:08:55,040
Can you come this afternoon? For a game of cards.
70
00:08:55,166 --> 00:08:57,790
Yeah. Oh, no l can't.
71
00:08:57,916 --> 00:09:02,582
My father's been called up for forced labour.
72
00:09:02,958 --> 00:09:04,957
Aha. And tomorrow?
73
00:09:05,875 --> 00:09:09,999
Let's make it the day after. Maybe.
74
00:09:40,250 --> 00:09:42,707
Oh, how dreadful it all is.
75
00:09:44,750 --> 00:09:47,665
What has the world come to?
76
00:09:54,083 --> 00:09:56,874
- My son.
- Oh, mother, do sit down.
77
00:09:56,875 --> 00:09:59,207
- Are you going away?
- That's quite crowded.
78
00:09:59,750 --> 00:10:01,915
- What's happening?
- l'll tell you.
79
00:10:02,041 --> 00:10:06,165
- Yes. . .
- That's right. There.
80
00:10:06,291 --> 00:10:11,207
Yes. . . but over there. . .
81
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:19,290
Nothing's happening. We're not eating yet.
82
00:10:40,875 --> 00:10:43,290
Secret negotiations are under way.
83
00:10:43,916 --> 00:10:45,915
l can't tell you more than that.
84
00:10:46,083 --> 00:10:48,374
This is completely reliable information.
85
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:51,749
Just as reliable as your racing tips
86
00:10:51,875 --> 00:10:53,874
which l regularly lose on.
87
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,040
Before Vili opened his betting shop,
88
00:10:57,208 --> 00:11:01,790
he was one of the best
stock exchange correspondents.
89
00:11:02,041 --> 00:11:06,665
The Germans realize their situation
at the front is hopeless.
90
00:11:06,791 --> 00:11:09,707
They're using us Budapest Jews
91
00:11:09,833 --> 00:11:13,249
to squeeze concessions out of the Allies.
92
00:11:13,666 --> 00:11:15,957
And the mass executions in Poland?
93
00:11:16,083 --> 00:11:18,165
That's different! Poland isn't Hungary.
94
00:11:18,291 --> 00:11:19,665
And the ghettos in the countryside?
95
00:11:19,791 --> 00:11:23,582
A sensational bluff! To raise the stakes.
96
00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:26,290
So l shouldn't even bother
to report to the labour camp?
97
00:11:26,416 --> 00:11:29,457
Perhaps it's a bluff too.
98
00:11:29,583 --> 00:11:32,540
Well, no. . . l wouldn't advise that
99
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:37,082
But l'm sure you'll be home soon.
100
00:11:37,875 --> 00:11:41,999
We're being used as part of
a huge blackmail at the moment.
101
00:11:42,125 --> 00:11:45,082
The negotiations will soon bear fruit.
102
00:11:48,583 --> 00:11:51,540
lf l were as sure of my tips as l am of that,
103
00:11:51,541 --> 00:11:53,082
l wouldn't be the pauper l am!
104
00:12:08,166 --> 00:12:14,874
- l'd like to talk to you.
- Of course. A bit later.
105
00:12:25,833 --> 00:12:29,582
l'd like a little talk with you.
106
00:12:41,875 --> 00:12:45,957
- Your father's leaving tomorrow.
- l know.
107
00:12:49,375 --> 00:12:52,832
l'm sure you also know
108
00:12:53,041 --> 00:12:56,457
that your carefree childhood days are over.
109
00:12:59,750 --> 00:13:03,874
You too are part of the common Jewish fate now.
110
00:13:10,583 --> 00:13:13,082
You know what that Jewish fate means?
111
00:13:13,208 --> 00:13:18,540
Well, the yellow star, for instance.
112
00:13:19,208 --> 00:13:21,249
And much else besides.
113
00:13:22,250 --> 00:13:26,124
Thousands of years of relentless persecution,
114
00:13:26,250 --> 00:13:31,165
which we must bear with patience and resignation.
115
00:13:31,166 --> 00:13:32,374
Why?
116
00:13:33,375 --> 00:13:35,707
Because God inflicted it on us for our sins,
117
00:13:35,833 --> 00:13:39,332
and only from Him can we expect mercy.
118
00:13:41,750 --> 00:13:45,999
- Have you prayed for your Father?
- No.
119
00:15:09,208 --> 00:15:13,415
lt worried me that l didn't understand
what we were saying to God.
120
00:15:13,833 --> 00:15:16,707
l think l mixed up the words a bit.
121
00:15:16,833 --> 00:15:20,040
But by the end of the prayer, l felt. . .
122
00:15:20,166 --> 00:15:23,415
we had managed to do something for father.
123
00:15:41,875 --> 00:15:42,874
My name's Steiner.
124
00:15:43,375 --> 00:15:44,874
Good evening, gentlemen.
125
00:15:45,750 --> 00:15:47,999
Mr Steiner and Mr Fleischmann, our neighbours.
126
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,790
Please don't get up, we've come to say goodbye.
127
00:15:51,791 --> 00:15:54,207
Every evening we review the war,
128
00:15:54,583 --> 00:15:57,790
of which l'll be a part from tomorrow.
129
00:15:57,916 --> 00:16:02,415
Just keep your chin down, old boy,
and never lose your despair!
130
00:16:04,208 --> 00:16:09,582
Don't worry, we'll take care
of your wife and Gyurka.
131
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,540
Carry on with your meal.
132
00:16:14,166 --> 00:16:17,707
No, it's pork!
133
00:16:17,833 --> 00:16:20,707
That's all l could get on the black market.
134
00:16:58,333 --> 00:16:59,374
Believe me...
135
00:17:00,583 --> 00:17:03,582
Things will change radically soon.
136
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,624
May the Almighty help us
137
00:17:07,750 --> 00:17:11,749
to be able to sit round
the family table again soon
138
00:17:12,291 --> 00:17:16,124
in love, peace and health!
139
00:17:48,833 --> 00:17:50,874
lt's late, Gyurka.
140
00:17:51,166 --> 00:17:54,207
l don't want to wake you at dawn.
141
00:17:54,958 --> 00:17:57,249
l may come back one day.
142
00:17:57,583 --> 00:18:02,665
Till then... look after each other.
143
00:18:04,916 --> 00:18:10,082
Your mother may try to take advantage
that l'm not with you.
144
00:18:10,250 --> 00:18:12,624
She may try to lure you away.
145
00:18:14,166 --> 00:18:15,999
But you know where you belong.
146
00:18:16,125 --> 00:18:17,790
Your stepmother made a home for you,
147
00:18:17,916 --> 00:18:20,040
whereas your mother left us.
148
00:18:21,625 --> 00:18:24,124
You must stand by her.
149
00:18:25,916 --> 00:18:28,999
l'll write to you,
150
00:18:33,083 --> 00:18:36,040
and you write too, Gyurka.
151
00:18:37,666 --> 00:18:39,415
Son!
152
00:18:45,333 --> 00:18:47,249
His hug came unexpectedly.
153
00:18:47,375 --> 00:18:51,624
l don't know whether that was what made me cry,
154
00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:53,999
or simply exhaustion,
155
00:18:54,125 --> 00:18:58,415
or maybe it was because ever since
my stepmother hinted at it,
156
00:18:58,541 --> 00:19:03,457
l had been preparing myself that at a
certain moment you were expected to cry.
157
00:19:03,833 --> 00:19:05,999
l'm glad it happened the way it did,
158
00:19:06,125 --> 00:19:09,082
and l felt father was pleased too.
159
00:19:09,791 --> 00:19:11,999
After that he sent me to bed.
160
00:19:12,125 --> 00:19:14,415
l was pretty tired by then,
161
00:19:14,750 --> 00:19:16,790
but l thought that at least
162
00:19:16,916 --> 00:19:20,749
we were sending him off to labour camp
with the memory of a fine day.
163
00:19:27,750 --> 00:19:29,582
There's a war on...
164
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:32,249
l'm alone...
165
00:19:34,875 --> 00:19:36,749
l miss you.
166
00:19:41,333 --> 00:19:44,749
You know it was father's decision, not mine.
167
00:19:44,875 --> 00:19:47,332
But it is about you now.
168
00:19:55,083 --> 00:19:56,957
Do you love me?
169
00:19:58,333 --> 00:19:59,624
Of course l do.
170
00:20:00,291 --> 00:20:04,332
Then why do you insist on staying with that woman?
171
00:20:04,458 --> 00:20:07,082
l don't insist on it, but. . .
172
00:20:07,208 --> 00:20:10,374
One can't prove love by words.
173
00:20:10,791 --> 00:20:14,457
- l don't think you really love me.
- That's not true.
174
00:20:14,625 --> 00:20:17,082
lt's your argument - your's and father's.
175
00:20:17,250 --> 00:20:18,915
And l can't go against father now,
176
00:20:19,083 --> 00:20:21,665
when he's in a labour camp.
177
00:20:24,125 --> 00:20:25,749
Go now.
178
00:20:26,041 --> 00:20:28,249
The curfew'll be in force soon.
179
00:20:28,416 --> 00:20:31,624
lt doesn't apply to me. l've got a pass.
180
00:20:37,958 --> 00:20:39,832
So, you're starting tomorrow.
181
00:20:40,083 --> 00:20:42,415
l'm so glad he's got a pass.
182
00:20:42,458 --> 00:20:44,707
You're right, dear.
183
00:20:45,291 --> 00:20:48,249
l hear of nothing but raids, people disappearing.
184
00:20:48,375 --> 00:20:49,915
Stop being a prophet of doom!
185
00:20:50,041 --> 00:20:52,915
lt's no good sticking your head
in the sand either.
186
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,749
And what does our friend write about?
187
00:20:58,208 --> 00:20:59,707
What they allow him.
188
00:21:00,916 --> 00:21:03,457
That he's healthy, he can cope with the work,
189
00:21:03,625 --> 00:21:05,957
the treatment is humane.
190
00:21:06,750 --> 00:21:08,957
But what's he saying between the lines?
191
00:21:09,083 --> 00:21:12,415
As long as the letters come regularly
there's no problem.
192
00:21:12,458 --> 00:21:14,207
At least he writes.
193
00:21:16,083 --> 00:21:18,332
And how are you going to get to work?
194
00:21:18,458 --> 00:21:20,165
With the local train, l suppose?
195
00:21:20,166 --> 00:21:22,832
You'll mislead the boy.
196
00:21:23,333 --> 00:21:25,707
He must take the bus.
197
00:21:26,416 --> 00:21:28,040
So, train or bus?
198
00:21:28,166 --> 00:21:30,124
- Train.
- Bus.
199
00:21:30,333 --> 00:21:33,374
The bus stops right by
the entrance to the oil plant.
200
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:35,832
lf you listen to him you'll have a long walk.
201
00:21:35,958 --> 00:21:38,082
- Train!
- Bus!
202
00:21:38,250 --> 00:21:41,457
God knows everything, but Steiner knows better.
203
00:21:41,625 --> 00:21:45,249
- Train!
- Bus!
204
00:21:56,708 --> 00:21:59,874
We were just talking about you.
What exactly do you do there?
205
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,582
l mix mortar and pass bricks.
206
00:22:02,708 --> 00:22:04,749
Oh, bricklaying.
207
00:22:05,541 --> 00:22:08,249
Well, who would have thought it?
208
00:22:08,416 --> 00:22:11,040
- Are you hungry?
- Fairly.
209
00:22:11,291 --> 00:22:12,915
l'll be going then.
210
00:22:13,083 --> 00:22:15,624
How can l thank you, Mr Suto.
211
00:22:15,875 --> 00:22:18,707
Don't mention it, Mrs Koves.
212
00:22:18,708 --> 00:22:21,165
A promise is a promise.
213
00:22:21,875 --> 00:22:26,082
And do tell your husband
he can always count on me.
214
00:22:27,333 --> 00:22:30,499
Oh, yes.
215
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,957
l've read about the new laws. Disgraceful.
216
00:22:35,833 --> 00:22:37,207
What's this?
217
00:22:38,875 --> 00:22:40,290
A small gift.
218
00:22:40,416 --> 00:22:42,665
l can't accept it, Mr Suto.
219
00:22:43,416 --> 00:22:49,124
Don't treat me like a stranger, Mrs Koves.
220
00:23:13,791 --> 00:23:17,415
D'you think l should have refused it?
221
00:23:18,250 --> 00:23:20,290
l'm going to Annamaria's to play cards.
222
00:23:20,291 --> 00:23:22,290
- You haven't eaten yet.
- When l get back.
223
00:23:32,958 --> 00:23:34,582
Anything wrong? No cards?
224
00:23:34,708 --> 00:23:36,165
l've got a headache.
225
00:23:36,166 --> 00:23:38,832
The yellow star made it ache.
226
00:23:39,083 --> 00:23:40,749
She's been on about it all afternoon.
227
00:23:40,916 --> 00:23:42,874
- What?
- That people hate her.
228
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:49,082
l said l wouldn't care if they hated me
if l could see the sense in it!
229
00:23:49,125 --> 00:23:50,040
l don't understand a thing.
230
00:23:50,375 --> 00:23:53,540
- So people don't hate you?
- Who would hate me?
231
00:23:53,666 --> 00:23:55,249
- Everyone.
- But why?
232
00:23:55,375 --> 00:23:57,165
Because of this!
233
00:23:57,166 --> 00:23:59,874
Oh, that? Well, they may hate me...
234
00:24:00,041 --> 00:24:03,082
But l don't think it's me they hate.
235
00:24:03,291 --> 00:24:05,874
Not me personally, just in general.
236
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,790
They hate in general?
237
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,415
ln general, yes.
238
00:24:10,416 --> 00:24:14,999
Not you, not me, but. . . the idea of a Jew.
239
00:24:15,250 --> 00:24:19,082
Great. Because l for one
don't really know what that is.
240
00:24:19,208 --> 00:24:21,707
- What what is?
- Being a Jew.
241
00:24:21,833 --> 00:24:24,415
- Everyone knows that!
- lt's a religion.
242
00:24:24,583 --> 00:24:27,207
But l'm interested in what it means.
243
00:24:27,333 --> 00:24:31,582
All l know is, lt's a difference,
separating us from other people.
244
00:24:31,708 --> 00:24:35,249
As if you were the one
to decide on the difference
245
00:24:35,416 --> 00:24:36,832
and not the thing you're wearing.
246
00:24:36,958 --> 00:24:39,374
l don't wear the difference here,
247
00:24:39,500 --> 00:24:41,249
it's inside me.
248
00:24:41,375 --> 00:24:46,332
But l don't know whether
to be proud it or ashamed.
249
00:24:46,458 --> 00:24:48,290
You shouldn't be either.
250
00:24:48,416 --> 00:24:53,249
Then what's the point of wearing
this rotten yellow star?
251
00:24:53,583 --> 00:24:56,249
She's right
252
00:24:56,375 --> 00:25:10,874
There's no point, no point. . . No point...
253
00:26:10,208 --> 00:26:13,499
Attention! Those with yellow stars get off!
254
00:26:13,750 --> 00:26:15,624
Anyone with a yellow star?
255
00:26:16,291 --> 00:26:19,040
- Anyone with a yellow star?
- Yes.
256
00:26:19,250 --> 00:26:20,540
Get off then.
257
00:26:29,416 --> 00:26:32,749
- l'm war labour.
- Right. Get off.
258
00:26:47,083 --> 00:26:48,957
You can come!
259
00:26:51,625 --> 00:26:53,749
- Didn't he accept it?
- No.
260
00:26:54,291 --> 00:26:55,749
What happened to you lot?
261
00:26:56,166 --> 00:26:57,624
He didn't accept ours either.
262
00:26:57,750 --> 00:27:01,915
Back behind the embankment.
Off you go! Hurry! One-two!
263
00:27:03,416 --> 00:27:04,915
That's it.
264
00:27:21,666 --> 00:27:27,165
Anyone with a yellow star get off. Come here!
265
00:27:27,291 --> 00:27:30,915
- Hey, kids, Rozi's here!
- Where? Really?
266
00:27:31,083 --> 00:27:33,082
Did you show your passes?
267
00:27:34,541 --> 00:27:37,790
We have to be at the Shell Refinery by seven.
268
00:27:37,916 --> 00:27:41,249
- Well, you'll be late today.
- Why?
269
00:27:41,583 --> 00:27:44,332
Because l'm going to arrest you.
270
00:27:58,583 --> 00:28:00,749
Back behind the embankment!
271
00:28:00,875 --> 00:28:04,040
Get down! At the double! One-two! Get down!
272
00:28:04,166 --> 00:28:09,999
There, there! That's it! Lie down! Lie down!
273
00:28:11,166 --> 00:28:12,624
Why's he arresting us?
274
00:28:12,750 --> 00:28:13,915
l reckon he's just fooling around.
275
00:28:14,166 --> 00:28:17,457
So what if we're late? We get off work.
276
00:28:24,291 --> 00:28:26,915
What the devil am l going to do with you lot?
277
00:28:27,041 --> 00:28:29,540
Sorry, but l can't help you there.
278
00:28:32,750 --> 00:28:34,082
Ask him!
279
00:28:34,250 --> 00:28:37,165
But when are you going to let us go?
280
00:28:39,958 --> 00:28:41,582
Wish l knew myself.
281
00:28:44,250 --> 00:28:46,749
Wait a minute, l'll be back soon.
282
00:28:56,416 --> 00:29:02,165
Yes, Yes! But what shall we do? What shall l say?
283
00:29:02,375 --> 00:29:03,290
He's phoning.
284
00:29:03,583 --> 00:29:06,749
- Can you hear?
- Not if you jabber.
285
00:29:07,166 --> 00:29:09,082
The foreman must be wondering.
286
00:29:09,208 --> 00:29:12,374
lt's not our fault. The cop will explain it all.
287
00:29:14,833 --> 00:29:18,624
We've got to wait for further orders.
288
00:29:19,583 --> 00:29:22,415
You look like educated boys.
289
00:29:22,625 --> 00:29:26,374
For instance. . . d'you know
the game Blind Man's Bum?
290
00:29:29,416 --> 00:29:30,874
- Who was it?
- Moskovich.
291
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,457
No.
292
00:29:38,750 --> 00:29:41,124
Good morning, Foreman.
293
00:29:41,250 --> 00:29:45,540
So it's true. l hear you took them off the bus.
294
00:29:45,666 --> 00:29:48,749
These boys have been assigned to work for me.
295
00:29:48,916 --> 00:29:52,290
- l know, l've seen their passes.
- Then let them go immediately!
296
00:29:52,416 --> 00:29:54,874
You think l'm keeping them here for fun?
l've got orders.
297
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,249
These boys are in my care.
298
00:29:58,541 --> 00:30:00,832
What shall l tell their mothers
299
00:30:00,833 --> 00:30:02,832
if they don't go home?
300
00:30:03,083 --> 00:30:05,040
This is an lD check. Their papers are in order.
301
00:30:05,166 --> 00:30:08,249
They'll be going home. Understand?
302
00:30:10,416 --> 00:30:13,332
Can't you see they're just kids?
303
00:30:13,416 --> 00:30:16,665
Have you no sense of responsibility
as a policeman?
304
00:30:16,791 --> 00:30:19,165
Another word, and l'll lock you up with them.
305
00:30:21,375 --> 00:30:23,540
Show me your papers!
306
00:30:25,083 --> 00:30:26,915
Stuff the papers...!
307
00:30:36,083 --> 00:30:41,082
Well now. . . Carry on.
308
00:30:44,625 --> 00:30:46,999
Good old foreman. He showed him!
309
00:30:47,125 --> 00:30:49,374
- Who wants to play jacks?
- How d'you play?
310
00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:52,957
You grab a handful of stones, throw them up
311
00:30:53,083 --> 00:30:56,082
and the one who catches the most wins.
312
00:30:56,458 --> 00:30:57,540
Look!
313
00:31:34,125 --> 00:31:36,832
l'm expected at a board meeting today.
314
00:31:36,875 --> 00:31:39,665
l'm essential to aircraft production.
315
00:31:39,833 --> 00:31:40,957
You'll carry on tomorrow.
316
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,082
l heard you phoning. Could l possibly make a call?
317
00:31:45,125 --> 00:31:47,707
l'm sorry, it's for official use only.
318
00:31:52,583 --> 00:31:53,790
lncredible.
319
00:31:53,791 --> 00:31:56,165
You're somebody, aren't you?
320
00:31:57,750 --> 00:31:59,332
What'll happen to us?
321
00:31:59,625 --> 00:32:02,582
Don't worry.
Things'll be cleared up sooner or later.
322
00:32:02,833 --> 00:32:04,374
He's just an ordinary policeman.
323
00:32:04,375 --> 00:32:07,332
l wanted to visit my sick mother. . .
324
00:32:07,458 --> 00:32:09,915
lt took me three days to get the permission.
325
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,290
But today l had to go to the office first. . .
326
00:32:12,291 --> 00:32:14,165
l wanted to visit my sick mother.
327
00:32:18,666 --> 00:32:22,332
lt took three days to get the pass.
328
00:32:23,166 --> 00:32:29,957
Here it is. Expires at two o'clock this afternoon.
329
00:32:31,166 --> 00:32:36,832
But l had to go somewhere on
business first and there was a queue.
330
00:32:37,250 --> 00:32:41,290
By the time l was through l only
had two and a half hours left. . .
331
00:32:41,458 --> 00:32:43,957
To leave or not to leave. . .
332
00:32:46,333 --> 00:32:52,582
l left! Because mummy was expecting me.
333
00:32:54,583 --> 00:32:58,582
But if l'd just missed the midday bus...
334
00:32:59,708 --> 00:33:03,207
Five minutes, and l wouldn't be here.
335
00:33:05,125 --> 00:33:07,624
Five minutes.
336
00:33:09,625 --> 00:33:12,499
- Still not interested?
- No. Here.
337
00:33:14,166 --> 00:33:15,999
Thanks.
338
00:33:34,125 --> 00:33:36,290
Well, my orders have come.
339
00:33:37,041 --> 00:33:41,582
Just a simple lD check. Line up outside!
340
00:35:27,541 --> 00:35:32,082
Come on! Get a move on! ln line!
341
00:35:33,083 --> 00:35:37,249
Come on! Get moving!
342
00:35:45,666 --> 00:35:48,624
No stargazing. Move!
343
00:35:49,625 --> 00:35:52,915
Faster!
344
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:09,999
Jews!
345
00:36:11,166 --> 00:36:16,624
There'll be an investigation
into your affairs tomorrow!
346
00:36:16,958 --> 00:36:20,290
Don't have any hopes that
you can hide your ill-gotten gains
347
00:36:20,416 --> 00:36:23,124
or your black market goods!
348
00:36:23,291 --> 00:36:29,415
Now herd this whole Jewish mob
where they belong - into the stables!
349
00:36:30,208 --> 00:36:40,790
Get a move on! Move along! Faster!
350
00:37:16,083 --> 00:37:19,790
Stinking Jews!
351
00:37:19,916 --> 00:37:24,665
We saw you signalling to the
British planes with candles.
352
00:37:25,625 --> 00:37:29,499
We'll blast you all to bits!
353
00:37:46,375 --> 00:37:48,207
Will it drop or won't it?
354
00:37:48,250 --> 00:37:49,707
That was the question.
355
00:37:50,416 --> 00:37:53,249
l just had to recognize the pittance of the stake
356
00:37:53,416 --> 00:37:56,749
so that l too could enjoy the game.
357
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,832
l was beginning to grasp
the simple secret of my universe,
358
00:38:01,375 --> 00:38:04,957
l could be killed anywhere, any time.
359
00:38:21,458 --> 00:38:22,957
Next.
360
00:38:38,666 --> 00:38:40,332
Got your papers?
361
00:38:47,541 --> 00:38:49,582
Empty your pockets!
362
00:39:04,125 --> 00:39:05,749
The watch too.
363
00:39:18,125 --> 00:39:19,999
Go on.
364
00:39:23,708 --> 00:39:26,082
That's my penknife.
365
00:39:34,666 --> 00:39:37,624
You haven't looked at my pass.
366
00:39:37,916 --> 00:39:41,082
- Your what?
- My pass.
367
00:40:14,875 --> 00:40:17,540
One way or another sooner or later
368
00:40:17,750 --> 00:40:22,082
everyone from this brick works
will be relocated to Germany.
369
00:40:22,875 --> 00:40:26,374
Those who volunteer now
will travel 60 to a carriage.
370
00:40:26,750 --> 00:40:30,624
Later there'll be 80, and later still even more.
371
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,165
So, volunteer now, right?
372
00:40:34,333 --> 00:40:36,749
l'm afraid we're short of trains.
373
00:40:36,916 --> 00:40:40,040
- Will families stay together?
- Yes, families stay together.
374
00:40:40,166 --> 00:40:42,707
- The luggage?
- Yes, luggage too, everything.
375
00:40:42,875 --> 00:40:46,457
We have to get tomorrow's transport ready.
376
00:40:46,625 --> 00:40:50,249
lt's best if we sort it out among ourselves...
377
00:40:50,375 --> 00:40:51,290
Shall we go?
378
00:40:51,750 --> 00:40:54,624
. . .rather than have gendarmes
shove you into the wagons.
379
00:40:56,416 --> 00:40:59,790
Anything's better than these rotten gendarmes!
380
00:41:06,416 --> 00:41:10,832
l'm joining you young ones
to cheer myself up a bit.
381
00:41:11,416 --> 00:41:13,374
Are you volunteering?
382
00:41:14,250 --> 00:41:18,124
- We're not sure yet.
- Nor am l.
383
00:41:19,041 --> 00:41:21,207
Will it be better there?
384
00:41:23,958 --> 00:41:25,332
What d'you suggest?
385
00:41:25,458 --> 00:41:29,415
Get healed yourself first.
You've still got a black eye.
386
00:41:31,083 --> 00:41:33,249
They accused me of profiteering.
387
00:41:34,250 --> 00:41:35,082
Yet l told them
388
00:41:35,250 --> 00:41:40,124
l wanted to take medicines to my sick mother.
389
00:41:41,250 --> 00:41:43,749
Five minutes changed everything.
390
00:41:44,375 --> 00:41:46,415
The Germans are a cultured race.
391
00:41:47,083 --> 00:41:49,874
The camps in Poland are culture itself. . .
392
00:41:50,083 --> 00:41:51,915
Don't spread rumours, please.
393
00:41:52,041 --> 00:41:55,082
You know as much as l do - nothing
394
00:41:55,583 --> 00:41:56,832
Rumours!
395
00:41:57,208 --> 00:42:00,707
l've heard nothing but rumours
about the Germans so far,
396
00:42:01,250 --> 00:42:04,124
- and they were all true.
- So you're not going?
397
00:42:05,125 --> 00:42:06,790
Could you tell me exactly why not?
398
00:42:07,541 --> 00:42:09,915
What is it you know? What are the rumours?
399
00:42:10,875 --> 00:42:12,624
Could you put me on the list.
400
00:42:12,791 --> 00:42:14,957
- Name, please.
- lstvan Goz.
401
00:42:15,083 --> 00:42:20,124
D'you hear that? He's signed up,
and he's. . . some big shot.
402
00:42:20,666 --> 00:42:23,874
He was talking to a German officer.
l saw him with my own eyes.
403
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,707
A real German officer?
404
00:42:26,916 --> 00:42:27,999
He's got pluck.
405
00:42:28,125 --> 00:42:29,332
l went up to him.
406
00:42:30,208 --> 00:42:33,290
l wanted to talk to someone in authority.
407
00:42:33,416 --> 00:42:34,832
And did he speak to you?
408
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,790
Why ask, you saw him!
409
00:42:37,791 --> 00:42:40,499
l'm an engineer. l speak perfect German.
410
00:42:41,166 --> 00:42:46,249
l told him my work had been made
morally and physically impossible.
411
00:42:46,708 --> 00:42:49,624
l'm not seeking advantages or privileges,
412
00:42:49,625 --> 00:42:52,040
but l'm an expert in my field
and l'd like to work...
413
00:42:52,166 --> 00:42:53,374
And? What did he say?
414
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,290
He didn't make any big promises.
415
00:42:58,791 --> 00:43:03,457
But he said Germany was
in need of experts like myself.
416
00:43:04,625 --> 00:43:06,249
And what's the guarantee?
417
00:43:07,708 --> 00:43:13,457
The difference between the objective
words of a high-ranking German officer
418
00:43:14,291 --> 00:43:19,207
and this mob who can't even grasp
what's in their own interest.
419
00:43:19,583 --> 00:43:20,999
And my judgement of character.
420
00:43:46,791 --> 00:43:50,290
Without hope you are lost.
421
00:43:50,625 --> 00:43:55,207
And you can draw hope only from faith.
422
00:43:55,250 --> 00:43:58,540
The time of His victory shall come,
423
00:43:59,208 --> 00:44:05,749
and all those who have forgotten
His power will be one in repentance
424
00:44:05,916 --> 00:44:09,165
and call out to him from the dust...
425
00:44:39,791 --> 00:44:42,874
One can survive three to four days.
426
00:44:43,708 --> 00:44:45,124
But you mustn't eat.
427
00:44:46,166 --> 00:44:49,040
Especially not meat and spicy things.
428
00:44:49,166 --> 00:44:51,124
What if you're hungry?
429
00:44:52,250 --> 00:44:56,832
You can choose - hunger or thirst.
430
00:44:57,083 --> 00:45:00,624
lt depends how long the journey is.
431
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,332
Water!
432
00:45:53,750 --> 00:45:57,457
People! You've reached the Hungarian border.
433
00:45:57,666 --> 00:45:59,707
The last time you'll hear Hungarian,
434
00:45:59,833 --> 00:46:03,874
and l'm speaking to you man to man.
435
00:46:04,125 --> 00:46:07,582
lf anyone has any money,
valuables or anything else,
436
00:46:07,708 --> 00:46:09,582
hand it over to me now.
437
00:46:11,083 --> 00:46:15,499
You won't need any valuables where you're going.
438
00:46:17,458 --> 00:46:20,415
The Germans'll take it from you
anything you've hidden.
439
00:46:20,583 --> 00:46:23,665
Surely you'd rather leave things
in Hungarian hands?
440
00:46:25,333 --> 00:46:28,832
You're Hungarians too after all.
441
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,624
Son of a bitch!
442
00:46:33,416 --> 00:46:36,999
Water. We should get him to give us water...
443
00:46:37,125 --> 00:46:38,624
All right.
444
00:46:39,666 --> 00:46:43,915
Give us water in exchange.
445
00:46:44,041 --> 00:46:45,499
Water?
446
00:46:45,750 --> 00:46:49,749
lt's forbidden officially.
But l'll steal some from the well. . .
447
00:46:52,083 --> 00:46:53,707
How much?
448
00:46:54,208 --> 00:46:56,082
Depends what you give.
449
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:02,290
You'll soon see what you get,
you won't be disappointed.
450
00:47:02,416 --> 00:47:06,582
Why make an effort for you
when it may not even be worth it?
451
00:47:06,708 --> 00:47:08,957
Give me something first.
452
00:47:10,083 --> 00:47:14,332
Give us two buckets of water first.
453
00:47:14,458 --> 00:47:18,999
Do l get something or not? Stinking Jews!
454
00:47:19,125 --> 00:47:23,207
Still want to turn the most
sacred things into business!
455
00:47:23,583 --> 00:47:27,415
You're even taking your last
pennies to the Germans.
456
00:47:28,958 --> 00:47:31,832
Well die of thirst then!
457
00:47:32,291 --> 00:47:38,207
Die of thirst! Die of thirst!
458
00:47:54,541 --> 00:47:58,790
l keep thinking of what that
gendarme said four days ago.
459
00:47:59,500 --> 00:48:00,915
What did he say?
460
00:48:01,083 --> 00:48:04,999
That we won't need anything where we're going...
461
00:48:06,083 --> 00:48:07,874
Where are we going?
462
00:48:21,750 --> 00:48:26,582
- Can you see anything?
- A station building. l think.
463
00:48:26,750 --> 00:48:34,665
- Any name on it?
- Yes. A-usch-witz-Bir-ke-nau...
464
00:48:34,791 --> 00:48:36,499
Does anyone know where...
465
00:48:36,625 --> 00:48:38,915
- What did you say?
- Auschwitz-Birkenau.
466
00:48:39,041 --> 00:48:40,624
Auschwitz-Birkenau.
467
00:48:40,750 --> 00:48:42,457
l've never heard of the place.
468
00:48:42,625 --> 00:48:45,082
And you're a geography teacher!
469
00:48:45,916 --> 00:48:48,290
l could follow the route through Slovakia,
470
00:48:49,625 --> 00:48:51,957
we were going in a north easterly direction.
471
00:48:52,583 --> 00:48:54,832
l'd say we're in Poland now.
472
00:48:55,750 --> 00:48:58,707
But the Germans have renamed all the places here.
473
00:48:58,833 --> 00:49:02,290
Clever dicks, they've been trying
to work it out for four days now.
474
00:49:07,416 --> 00:49:10,165
Wake up! We may have arrived.
475
00:50:28,083 --> 00:50:30,624
Sixteen! Sixteen!
476
00:50:31,166 --> 00:50:33,124
- We're sixteen.
- l know.
477
00:50:33,250 --> 00:50:35,707
You're sixteen too, Moskovich.
478
00:51:07,416 --> 00:51:09,374
How old are you?
479
00:51:09,916 --> 00:51:14,082
- Sixteen.
- Sixteen. . . work. . .
480
00:51:18,833 --> 00:51:20,582
Sixteen.
481
00:51:31,208 --> 00:51:33,082
How old are you?
482
00:51:33,541 --> 00:51:35,249
Sixteen.
483
00:51:52,791 --> 00:51:55,915
Hello, Koves. We made it! Great!
484
00:52:29,458 --> 00:52:33,499
l'm not surprised.
There were gas chambers back home too.
485
00:52:33,916 --> 00:52:35,957
Rubbish!
486
00:52:36,166 --> 00:52:37,874
l didn't know there were gas chambers,
487
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:43,249
but l always had a feeling.
l knew they were hiding the truth.
488
00:52:43,500 --> 00:52:45,707
We're all gonna die.
489
00:52:46,375 --> 00:52:47,790
We're not.
490
00:52:49,291 --> 00:52:52,874
This is Auschwitz. Extermination camp.
491
00:52:54,458 --> 00:52:59,790
But they said we'd be taken to
an Arbeitslager, a labour camp.
492
00:53:00,750 --> 00:53:02,624
That's different.
493
00:53:02,791 --> 00:53:04,749
Poor Moskovich...
494
00:53:06,250 --> 00:53:12,957
He may have been small...
he wore glasses... he was Jewish...
495
00:53:13,416 --> 00:53:15,165
but l liked him. . .
496
00:53:18,750 --> 00:53:22,207
We should have studied nothing but Auschwitz.
497
00:53:23,041 --> 00:53:26,915
They taught us: "Dear boy,
498
00:53:27,041 --> 00:53:32,374
when you grow up you'll go to Auschwitz,
499
00:53:32,500 --> 00:53:35,499
they'll stuff you in a gas chamber
and burn you nicely."
500
00:53:36,250 --> 00:53:39,457
l've heard they're very kind to them to the end,
501
00:53:40,083 --> 00:53:43,582
surrounding them with care and affection.
502
00:53:44,250 --> 00:53:47,624
And the place where they suffocate them
is in a pretty garden
503
00:53:47,791 --> 00:53:50,915
with grass, trees and flowers...
504
00:54:18,625 --> 00:54:22,540
Buchenwald lies on the top of a hilly region.
505
00:54:22,666 --> 00:54:25,957
The air's clean. You can see forests all around
506
00:54:26,083 --> 00:54:29,999
and the red rooftops of the village houses.
507
00:54:30,750 --> 00:54:32,290
The baths are to the left.
508
00:54:32,833 --> 00:54:35,790
They write your name in a big book
509
00:54:35,916 --> 00:54:39,540
and you get a yellow triangle
and a wide strip of canvass.
510
00:54:39,666 --> 00:54:42,999
There's a "U" in the triangle
to show you're Hungarian
511
00:54:43,125 --> 00:54:46,790
and a number on the canvas strip.
512
00:54:46,916 --> 00:54:50,207
Mine is 64921 .
513
00:54:50,625 --> 00:54:55,499
l was told to learn to say it
quickly and clearly in German:
514
00:54:55,625 --> 00:54:58,457
Vier-und-sechzig, neun, ein-und-zwanzig
515
00:54:58,625 --> 00:55:02,624
because that's my answer if anyone asks who l am.
516
00:55:19,166 --> 00:55:25,207
Attention! Herr Kapo asks
if there are any performers,
517
00:55:25,333 --> 00:55:29,707
cultural groups or the like who could
entertain while they organize the transport?
518
00:55:29,833 --> 00:55:33,957
- The Kolmanns.
- The Kolmanns? The Kolmanns!
519
00:55:51,083 --> 00:55:52,540
A piano!
520
00:56:03,041 --> 00:56:07,749
Eisemann, Zagon: "On a Moonlit Night"
521
00:56:10,625 --> 00:56:13,499
"What does a girl dream"
522
00:56:15,541 --> 00:56:17,874
"on a moonlit night,"
523
00:56:20,041 --> 00:56:22,665
"That her prince will come"
524
00:56:23,500 --> 00:56:27,707
"on a steed of pure white."
525
00:56:29,083 --> 00:56:31,749
"lt's a dream so sweet,"
526
00:56:33,250 --> 00:56:36,582
"but soon she must wake,"
527
00:56:37,916 --> 00:56:41,040
"And princes are scarce,"
528
00:56:41,250 --> 00:56:45,540
"so it's all a mistake."
529
00:56:46,875 --> 00:56:54,290
"And yet such little clouds
are floating in the sky,"
530
00:56:55,750 --> 00:57:04,540
"While we can see them our hopes won't
pass us by,"
531
00:57:04,666 --> 00:57:07,332
"What does a girl dream"
532
00:57:08,875 --> 00:57:12,082
"on a moonlit night,"
533
00:57:13,291 --> 00:57:16,165
"That her prince will come"
534
00:57:16,625 --> 00:57:20,540
"on a steed of pure white."
535
00:57:54,916 --> 00:57:59,082
There's nothing more exhausting
than the tiresome process
536
00:57:59,083 --> 00:58:04,874
we have to go through every time
we get to a new camp.
537
00:58:05,333 --> 00:58:09,374
After Auschwitz and Buchenwald
it was the same at Zeitz too.
538
00:58:10,833 --> 00:58:14,665
l realized right away that this was a small, poor,
539
00:58:14,791 --> 00:58:18,207
you could say provincial concentration camp.
540
00:58:18,916 --> 00:58:24,832
Showers and crematoriums
were only in more important camps.
541
00:58:25,083 --> 00:58:29,082
The sole point of the endless counting and shoving
542
00:58:29,250 --> 00:58:34,582
was to get everyone out in front of their block.
543
00:58:35,250 --> 00:58:38,374
l looked around for the other boys,
544
00:58:38,500 --> 00:58:40,874
but l was surrounded by strangers.
545
00:59:21,250 --> 00:59:22,915
Where're you from?
546
00:59:26,291 --> 00:59:27,999
From Budapest.
547
00:59:28,125 --> 00:59:30,082
Are you from Budapest?
548
00:59:31,458 --> 00:59:36,457
ls the Grand Boulevard still there?
What about the Number 6 tram?
549
00:59:36,750 --> 00:59:40,290
- And Nefelejcs Street?
- l haven't been there for ages.
550
00:59:40,416 --> 00:59:44,415
Nor me. Not for four years. lt's my home.
551
00:59:44,833 --> 00:59:47,874
One day l'll walk those streets again!
552
00:59:50,083 --> 00:59:51,707
How did you end up here?
553
00:59:52,375 --> 00:59:54,665
l was taken off the bus.
554
00:59:55,875 --> 01:00:00,332
- How d'you mean?
- l had to get off. The cops.
555
01:00:00,458 --> 01:00:02,082
Cops?
556
01:00:02,750 --> 01:00:06,540
- They sent you here?
- Course.
557
01:00:06,666 --> 01:00:08,540
Don't you know what's up at home?
558
01:00:09,916 --> 01:00:13,457
My name's Bandi. Bandi Citrom.
559
01:00:13,791 --> 01:00:17,749
l told you l spent four years
doing forced labour in the Ukraine.
560
01:00:17,875 --> 01:00:20,749
- You didn't tell me.
- Well l am now.
561
01:00:20,916 --> 01:00:22,582
What wre you doing there?
562
01:00:22,708 --> 01:00:25,374
Digging up land mines like the other kikes.
563
01:00:25,500 --> 01:00:26,915
How?
564
01:00:27,291 --> 01:00:29,665
lf we have time l'll show you.
565
01:00:29,875 --> 01:00:35,040
You need a spade and a bit of wire.
And luck. Plenty of it.
566
01:00:35,166 --> 01:00:35,999
And?
567
01:00:38,666 --> 01:00:39,457
Fucking bastard!
568
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,165
- Did it hurt?
- Not a bit.
569
01:01:11,291 --> 01:01:13,290
Wipe your nose. Tip your head back.
570
01:01:13,416 --> 01:01:17,457
Why you not quiet? Bring us trouble...
571
01:01:17,625 --> 01:01:19,624
- Don't answer him.
- Who's he?
572
01:01:19,750 --> 01:01:22,624
- Not one of us.
- But he speaks Hungarian.
573
01:01:22,750 --> 01:01:26,290
He's from Latvia. Orthodox.
574
01:01:26,833 --> 01:01:29,749
- That other dude has to be a faggot.
- What d'you mean?
575
01:01:29,916 --> 01:01:35,415
Never mind. Like a circus trainer.
576
01:01:35,541 --> 01:01:38,624
And that cheap scent...
Where the hell does he get it?
577
01:01:38,750 --> 01:01:39,749
lsn't he a prisoner?
578
01:01:39,875 --> 01:01:43,624
No. He's one of the camp bosses.
579
01:01:43,791 --> 01:01:47,249
- Did you see his green triangle?
- l did.
580
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,707
That means he's a criminal.
581
01:01:51,041 --> 01:01:52,290
lsn't he a Jew?
582
01:01:52,416 --> 01:01:55,707
Some faggot murderer
represents the law round here.
583
01:01:55,708 --> 01:01:58,624
This is a concentration camp, not a sanatorium.
584
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:39,790
Come on, come on! Quickly! Line up!
585
01:02:43,416 --> 01:02:46,207
Buck up, or we'll miss coffee.
586
01:02:46,625 --> 01:02:48,624
Line up outside!
587
01:02:48,750 --> 01:02:51,582
Next! Higher!
588
01:02:52,291 --> 01:02:54,999
Put it near the cauldron. Can't you see?
589
01:02:57,500 --> 01:02:59,040
Higher! Come on!
590
01:02:59,166 --> 01:03:01,915
How many times have l told you
to hold your tin nearer.
591
01:03:04,833 --> 01:03:06,332
Next!
592
01:03:08,166 --> 01:03:13,332
Here you are. Next! Quckly!
593
01:04:41,541 --> 01:04:44,915
l see, we've gotta unload it. lnto four piles.
594
01:04:45,125 --> 01:04:46,624
As they wish.
595
01:04:46,750 --> 01:04:50,874
Ask Herr what's-his-name
if we can take off our coats and shirts.
596
01:04:54,083 --> 01:04:56,290
Seems like a decent prick.
597
01:04:56,500 --> 01:04:59,540
Want a caftan and fur hat?
598
01:05:03,541 --> 01:05:07,124
Let's show 'em what the lads
from Budapest are made of!
599
01:05:07,458 --> 01:05:10,124
- We're from the country.
- Same thing.
600
01:05:20,750 --> 01:05:24,040
A good wash is vital. ln snow, ice, always.
601
01:05:24,291 --> 01:05:26,040
Then you won't get scabby.
602
01:05:26,250 --> 01:05:29,499
Always have a mouthful of bread in your pocket.
603
01:05:29,708 --> 01:05:32,290
Where from? The previous day's ration.
604
01:05:32,416 --> 01:05:34,915
Course it's not enough, so ration it.
605
01:05:35,041 --> 01:05:38,707
At breakfast, and don't watch
the others eating at lunch.
606
01:05:38,833 --> 01:05:41,415
A mouthful, no more, but it's a must.
607
01:05:41,583 --> 01:05:43,749
For your self esteem, get it?
608
01:05:43,875 --> 01:05:45,290
Know what self-esteem is?
609
01:05:45,416 --> 01:05:48,249
lt's as important as bread and soup.
610
01:05:49,125 --> 01:05:50,707
Want to go home?
611
01:05:51,041 --> 01:05:53,707
Want to walk the streets of Budapest again?
612
01:05:53,833 --> 01:05:56,915
Without self-esteem it won't work.
613
01:05:57,291 --> 01:05:58,415
Look!
614
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:06,540
Look... The Smoker!
615
01:06:06,750 --> 01:06:08,165
Where?
616
01:06:11,500 --> 01:06:13,582
Still smoking.
617
01:06:32,166 --> 01:06:34,790
No good, keen Hungarian.
618
01:06:35,083 --> 01:06:37,457
Why not save strength?
619
01:06:37,916 --> 01:06:39,790
Shovelling for these?
620
01:06:40,875 --> 01:06:44,749
You're Jews too after all.
621
01:08:18,083 --> 01:08:20,790
Wash your dick too, that's where the lice live.
622
01:08:22,750 --> 01:08:24,749
Come on and get dry!
623
01:08:41,750 --> 01:08:47,165
That certain hour between returning from
the factory and the night-time call.
624
01:08:47,291 --> 01:08:51,165
A particular hour, bustling and liberated,
625
01:08:51,291 --> 01:08:56,082
which l waited for and loved the most in the camp.
626
01:08:56,250 --> 01:09:00,040
lncidentally, it was also supper time.
627
01:09:00,416 --> 01:09:03,249
Hello, is that you?
628
01:09:03,791 --> 01:09:05,957
Who else's here from the brick works?
629
01:09:06,083 --> 01:09:09,165
- Which block are you in?
- Here, in five.
630
01:09:09,291 --> 01:09:12,832
Pity. l'm in six.
631
01:09:13,958 --> 01:09:19,374
We got scattered. We're all scattered.
632
01:09:20,916 --> 01:09:23,749
Know what this "U" stands for?
633
01:09:23,916 --> 01:09:25,540
Course. Ungar. Hungarian.
634
01:09:25,666 --> 01:09:29,582
You're wrong. Unschuldig.
635
01:09:30,416 --> 01:09:32,374
lnnocent. lnnocent.
636
01:09:51,416 --> 01:09:54,082
No, pal, we'll divide it up after the soup.
637
01:09:54,250 --> 01:09:56,540
l won't let you gobble tomorrow's ration.
638
01:09:56,791 --> 01:09:59,999
"But we'll never be cowards. . ."
639
01:10:00,208 --> 01:10:01,499
You always sing that.
640
01:10:01,625 --> 01:10:03,790
That was our song in the Ukraine.
641
01:10:03,916 --> 01:10:08,249
"And if a comrade falls,
642
01:10:08,416 --> 01:10:12,332
"We'll send a message home"
643
01:10:12,458 --> 01:10:16,082
"That come what may, We'll always be loyal"
644
01:10:16,208 --> 01:10:20,124
"To our dear homeland."
645
01:10:20,416 --> 01:10:22,082
- What's wrong with that?
- Nothing.
646
01:10:22,208 --> 01:10:24,415
lt always reminds me of
that gendarme l told you about.
647
01:10:24,583 --> 01:10:30,249
Who said we too were Hungarians after all.
648
01:10:30,416 --> 01:10:31,999
And so we are.
649
01:10:32,125 --> 01:10:35,457
l'll soon walk down Nefelejcs Street again.
650
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:45,249
l won't start till you get in line.
Come on, line up! Rabble!
651
01:10:48,625 --> 01:10:54,624
He was the most sought-after
lawyer at home. lt's beyond me...
652
01:10:58,791 --> 01:11:00,582
Carrot soup.
653
01:11:01,750 --> 01:11:03,874
l like it best too.
654
01:11:06,500 --> 01:11:08,249
Quite thick.
655
01:11:11,291 --> 01:11:17,249
Look! A whole chunk of meat!
656
01:11:47,333 --> 01:11:50,082
This is when the street-lights
of Budapest come on.
657
01:11:53,291 --> 01:11:55,290
Remember the Schmoll shoe-polish ad?
658
01:11:56,500 --> 01:11:57,624
Schmoll... what?
659
01:12:00,291 --> 01:12:04,249
A lit-up plane circled over
the Oktogon every evening.
660
01:12:04,958 --> 01:12:07,832
lt's gone long ago, cos of the black-out.
661
01:12:08,750 --> 01:12:10,624
You always say silly things.
662
01:12:12,500 --> 01:12:14,874
The black-out will end soon.
663
01:12:18,791 --> 01:12:22,207
This is when girls set out on their dates.
664
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,499
High-heels tapping.
665
01:12:34,791 --> 01:12:37,665
l'll walk down Nefelejcs Street again...
666
01:12:39,083 --> 01:12:47,457
Nefelejcs Street. . . Not a great goal,
but who cares? lt's a goal.
667
01:12:48,750 --> 01:12:51,415
A street, or a woman,
668
01:12:51,583 --> 01:12:57,082
a library. . . long winter afternoons...
669
01:12:57,833 --> 01:13:00,790
before we light the lamps.
670
01:13:04,916 --> 01:13:07,915
Things l can't imagine any more...
671
01:13:10,625 --> 01:13:13,915
- lt's Friday.
- Which Friday? What's the date?
672
01:13:22,541 --> 01:13:25,582
They bear the eternal Jewish fate.
673
01:13:26,500 --> 01:13:27,957
Nothing makes any difference to them:
674
01:13:28,083 --> 01:13:30,624
they're here on Earth temporarily.
675
01:13:33,208 --> 01:13:36,040
But they persevere because they've got an aim.
676
01:13:38,958 --> 01:13:42,749
Everyone needs some life-giving obsession.
677
01:13:43,458 --> 01:13:47,915
Something to keep their hope alive.
678
01:13:48,791 --> 01:13:52,165
But l've got nothing. No goals.
679
01:13:55,333 --> 01:13:57,624
Oh yes l have...
680
01:13:57,833 --> 01:14:01,207
Yes, l have. l've got to take my sons home.
681
01:16:22,083 --> 01:16:23,790
Soup for sale.
682
01:16:24,291 --> 01:16:25,665
How much?
683
01:16:26,375 --> 01:16:30,415
Whole tin carrot soup.
684
01:16:31,083 --> 01:16:34,082
Why wait so long?
685
01:16:34,708 --> 01:16:36,332
l bet someone's in hiding again. Or dead.
686
01:16:36,458 --> 01:16:41,040
Or they're asleep somewhere,
and we've been here since dawn.
687
01:16:41,250 --> 01:16:42,415
What's the price?
688
01:16:47,500 --> 01:16:50,832
Just hold out a bit longer, son.
689
01:16:52,625 --> 01:16:55,249
lt'll soon be over.
690
01:17:01,875 --> 01:17:05,374
- Half ration bread And the margarine.
- What's that?
691
01:17:06,291 --> 01:17:07,915
Soup for sale.
692
01:17:08,083 --> 01:17:12,082
We go to the latrines enough without your soup!
693
01:17:12,958 --> 01:17:14,915
Did you buy some?
694
01:20:21,750 --> 01:20:25,624
lt'll get soaked and be worse
than nothing - like a wet sponge.
695
01:20:25,833 --> 01:20:27,207
lt keeps me warm.
696
01:20:27,833 --> 01:20:30,249
We should get our bread before parade.
697
01:20:30,416 --> 01:20:31,332
One third ration today.
698
01:20:31,541 --> 01:20:33,290
Get it for the three of us.
699
01:20:42,291 --> 01:20:50,707

01:22:13,833 --> 01:22:18,374
Di bist ka jid, di bist a shegets. You no Jew.

You know how much it costs? Lick it up.
716
01:25:18,333 --> 01:25:21,124
You are not going to let another one drop!
717

The Almighty not want it.
722
01:27:05,916 --> 01:27:08,415
At least someone tried.
723
01:27:09,083 --> 01:27:11,415
Have you lost your mind?
724
01:27:11,625 --> 01:27:14,165
Any idea what's happening around you?
725
01:27:14,291 --> 01:27:16,624
Yes. No supper tonight.
726
01:30:20,791 --> 01:30:25,915
Where're you going? How long since you washed?
727
01:30:26,041 --> 01:30:29,124
You've let yourself go completely.
You've got lice, you're scabby,
728
01:30:29,250 --> 01:30:32,165
Who asked you to boss me around?
Fuck off, you git!
729
01:30:32,291 --> 01:30:34,707
D'you want to die here? Don't you want to go home?

Listen to me. l asked whether you want to go home.
733
01:30:43,791 --> 01:30:47,540
- Home, understand? Home!
- l'm cold.
734
01:32:00,250 --> 01:32:02,207
You crazy? They'll beat your brains in.
735
01:32:02,333 --> 01:32:04,582
- Don't be daft.
- You bring trouble!
736
01:32:12,500 --> 01:32:14,915
Disperse!
737
01:32:24,291 --> 01:32:27,749

- l can't.
739
01:32:30,250 --> 01:32:32,124
- Of course you can!
- lt hurts!
740
01:32:32,250 --> 01:32:34,874
- What hurts?
- My knee.
741
01:32:45,625 --> 01:32:47,665
Come. Let's fold our hand.
742
01:33:07,333 --> 01:33:08,874
Put him down there.
743
01:33:15,958 --> 01:33:24,207
Supper! Supper!
744
01:35:01,750 --> 01:35:03,207
Next.
745
01:35:05,791 --> 01:35:10,624
- Come on, come on!
- Let it go!
746
01:35:10,750 --> 01:35:12,874
Let it go, understand?
747
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:14,957
Come on. You'll get it back.
748
01:35:37,958 --> 01:35:40,915
l have to open it up and clean it.
749
01:35:41,708 --> 01:35:45,540
lt'll hurt. But l promise to be quick.
750
01:35:50,416 --> 01:35:52,124
Are you hungry?
751
01:35:55,708 --> 01:35:58,082
Terribly.
752
01:36:03,416 --> 01:36:05,749
l protest! l've a right to a separate bed.
753
01:36:05,875 --> 01:36:07,124
Ask the doctor!
754
01:36:07,250 --> 01:36:09,374
We're full of patients.
755
01:36:09,500 --> 01:36:14,124
- Move over!
- l protest! l protest!
756
01:36:14,291 --> 01:36:16,582
Can't you give us another rug?
757
01:36:16,708 --> 01:36:19,415
l protest! lt's my right!
758
01:36:20,083 --> 01:36:25,582
Lie on your side, it gives us more room.
Don't you understand?
759
01:36:31,958 --> 01:36:33,499
Got any water?
760
01:36:34,375 --> 01:36:37,874
Water? l could do with some too.
761
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:41,582
- Cigarettes?
- None.
762
01:36:56,750 --> 01:37:03,082
Coffee! Coffee!
763
01:37:07,666 --> 01:37:09,624
Coffee. . .
764
01:37:14,916 --> 01:37:19,499
Can't you see he's asleep? Give me his tin.
765
01:38:48,250 --> 01:38:51,040
Soup!
766
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:57,457
He have slept for two days!
767
01:39:04,125 --> 01:39:05,832
He is dead.
768
01:39:16,541 --> 01:39:19,165
l'll go and get someone.
769
01:39:28,708 --> 01:39:30,582
Thank you.
770
01:41:40,791 --> 01:41:49,749
l protest! l protest! l pro-test!
771
01:42:52,583 --> 01:43:00,624
Carrot soup.
772
01:44:06,458 --> 01:44:12,624
l'll help you. Have you diarrhoea?
773
01:45:55,375 --> 01:46:01,957
Do you speak Polish or Russian?
774
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:07,207
What is your name?
775
01:46:12,333 --> 01:46:18,499
Not your number. Your name.
776
01:46:23,666 --> 01:46:26,290
Gyorgy Koves.
777
01:46:26,416 --> 01:46:29,749
What? What?
778
01:46:33,125 --> 01:46:39,499
Gyorgy Koves.
779
01:46:39,625 --> 01:46:44,999
Look at it. Did l spell it right?
780
01:46:49,458 --> 01:46:55,332
Now, what's your number?
781
01:47:03,375 --> 01:47:05,124
Nationality?
782
01:47:06,583 --> 01:47:08,540
Hungarian.
783
01:47:14,541 --> 01:47:16,124
Good.
784
01:48:28,958 --> 01:48:32,415
Do you speak Hungarian?
785
01:48:45,250 --> 01:48:47,749
Yes, l do.
786
01:48:50,041 --> 01:48:52,999
Where're you from?
787
01:48:58,333 --> 01:49:00,790
Budapest.
788
01:49:02,208 --> 01:49:04,124
When did you arrive?
789
01:49:09,250 --> 01:49:11,665
ln November.
790
01:49:14,583 --> 01:49:17,374
Do we get food here?
791
01:49:22,375 --> 01:49:27,957
You'll get stronger here and you can go home.
792
01:49:28,083 --> 01:49:32,665
- Room No. 6! Food.
- l have to go now, take care.
793
01:50:06,250 --> 01:50:08,457
Thank you.
794
01:53:59,291 --> 01:54:06,124
Come on, come on! Buck up! Come on!
795
01:54:07,958 --> 01:54:09,457
Stop!
796
01:54:09,833 --> 01:54:12,165
Fresh air will make you feel better.
797
01:54:12,291 --> 01:54:14,207
Back home we'll build a new country.
798
01:54:14,333 --> 01:54:16,624
Come on, line up in threes.
799
01:54:16,750 --> 01:54:19,540
Start marching! One, two, three four. . .
800
01:54:19,666 --> 01:54:23,249
"Standing on guard on the walls of Madrid"
801
01:54:23,375 --> 01:54:26,749
"Facing the gunshots come what may."
802
01:54:26,875 --> 01:54:30,290
"Standing on guard for the dreams of its people"
803
01:54:30,416 --> 01:54:33,415
"Ready to withstand the wildest siege."
804
01:54:33,541 --> 01:54:35,582
Once more. One, two, three, four. . .
805
01:54:35,708 --> 01:54:39,749
"Standing on guard on the walls of Madrid..."
806
01:56:03,166 --> 01:56:07,582
Come on! Hold out a bit longer!
807
01:56:08,083 --> 01:56:12,374
From tomorrow we've been
promised some sort of transport.
808
01:56:16,416 --> 01:56:21,082
This school has been assigned to us for the night.
809
01:56:21,291 --> 01:56:23,374
Tomorrow we'll reach Dresden.
810
01:56:23,500 --> 01:56:25,749
From there we can get a train to Bratislava.
811
01:56:25,916 --> 01:56:32,832
We'll see how we go from there
to Budapest. Come on! lnside!
812
01:56:37,750 --> 01:56:43,499
Your shirt, you wretch!
Why don't you take off your shirt?
813
01:56:45,416 --> 01:56:47,915
He never takes off his shirt!
814
01:56:48,750 --> 01:56:50,915
Take off your shirt, you jerk!
815
01:56:52,541 --> 01:56:54,874
l didn't do anything!
816
01:56:55,000 --> 01:56:56,374
He's got the SS mark.
817
01:56:56,500 --> 01:56:59,082
D'you hear? Here's the mark!
818
01:56:59,416 --> 01:57:02,040
What's going on? What's all this shouting?
819
01:57:03,208 --> 01:57:05,249
l noticed he never took off his shirt.
820
01:57:05,416 --> 01:57:07,415
Here's the SS tattoo under his arm.
821
01:57:07,541 --> 01:57:09,999
lt was guard duty. . .
822
01:57:10,125 --> 01:57:12,499
That's enough, stop!
823
01:57:12,625 --> 01:57:15,540
l didn't do anything, l just want to go home.
824
01:57:15,666 --> 01:57:17,207
You wormed your way among us
825
01:57:17,333 --> 01:57:19,290
to avoid being taken prisoner?
826
01:57:19,625 --> 01:57:21,707
l didn't hurt anyone.
827
01:57:21,833 --> 01:57:23,624
Did you join the SS in Hungary?
828
01:57:23,750 --> 01:57:25,624
l only did guard duty.
829
01:57:25,750 --> 01:57:27,749
l swear l didn't hurt anyone!
830
01:57:27,916 --> 01:57:29,624
- Anyone know him?
- No one.
831
01:57:29,750 --> 01:57:31,499
He could've been in one of
the smaller camp like Ohrdruf.
832
01:57:31,625 --> 01:57:34,290
Hardly anyone was left alive in there.
833
01:57:34,416 --> 01:57:37,249
l saw my brother shot dead by a shit like this!
834
01:57:37,375 --> 01:57:41,749
Enough! No lynching here.
835
01:57:42,833 --> 01:57:46,040
Four of you will take him to the Soviet command.
836
01:57:46,166 --> 01:57:48,749
They'll get the truth out of him.
837
01:57:48,875 --> 01:57:53,457
Tie him up, so he doesn't get away!
You, you, you and you!
838
01:57:54,166 --> 01:57:56,165
My leg hurts.
839
01:57:56,458 --> 01:57:59,290
Yes, of course. . . Then you.
840
01:57:59,750 --> 01:58:02,915
No, not that...
841
01:58:09,375 --> 01:58:13,749
Dresden. l came here once.
842
01:58:13,916 --> 01:58:17,332
You can't imagine what a town this was.
843
01:58:17,750 --> 01:58:22,249
One of Germany's finest and richest cities.
844
01:58:23,375 --> 01:58:26,582
They asked for it, the Herrenvolk.
845
01:58:26,708 --> 01:58:29,499
Now they're grovelling.
846
01:58:29,625 --> 01:58:35,457
That's what they wanted.
That's what they got. They deserve it.
847
01:58:36,250 --> 01:58:40,165
l feel now for the first time
the meaning of the word victory.
848
01:58:43,250 --> 01:58:45,332
Are you sorry for them?
849
01:58:45,750 --> 01:58:49,290
They weren't sorry for you
when they shoved you in the camp.
850
01:58:49,416 --> 01:58:51,207
- Am l right?
- Yes.
851
01:58:51,333 --> 01:58:55,790
There you are. You're free. You're alive.
852
01:58:56,416 --> 01:59:01,332
Try to be happy with life - and victory.
853
01:59:09,125 --> 01:59:11,540
Have you seen him?
854
01:59:13,666 --> 01:59:15,415
Have you seen my husband? Sure?
855
01:59:15,583 --> 01:59:17,374
Sorry, no.
856
01:59:18,791 --> 01:59:22,749
A 43-year-old man. With black curly hair.
857
01:59:23,041 --> 01:59:24,332
Always smiling.
858
01:59:24,958 --> 01:59:27,832
Sorry, l haven't seen him.
859
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:29,915
- And you?
- Sorry.
860
01:59:30,041 --> 01:59:33,290
l'd like to ask you something else if l may.
861
01:59:33,416 --> 01:59:34,124
Yes?
862
01:59:34,250 --> 01:59:36,415
Did you see the gas chambers?
863
01:59:38,750 --> 01:59:40,624
We wouldn't be speaking now if l had.
864
01:59:40,750 --> 01:59:43,790
Did they really exist?
865
01:59:43,916 --> 01:59:47,707
lt depends. They definitely did in Auschwitz.
866
01:59:47,833 --> 01:59:49,457
But l've come from Buchenwald.
867
01:59:49,625 --> 01:59:51,707
- From where?
- Buchenwald.
868
01:59:51,833 --> 01:59:54,624
- From Buchenwald.
- Yes.
869
01:59:54,750 --> 01:59:58,082
So you heard about the gas chambers,
870
02:00:00,416 --> 02:00:04,082
but you didn't see them
with your own eyes, right?
871
02:00:04,208 --> 02:00:05,957
Right.
872
02:00:06,333 --> 02:00:09,457
Thank you, that's all l wanted to know.
873
02:00:56,541 --> 02:00:59,124
Come on! Come closer! Quickly!
874
02:00:59,166 --> 02:01:06,499
We'll gather here! Get off the train,
come on! Gather round me!
875
02:02:16,666 --> 02:02:19,165
- Looking for someone?
- Yes.
876
02:02:20,000 --> 02:02:23,457
- Who?
- Bandi Citrom.
877
02:02:26,375 --> 02:02:27,999
He's not at home.
878
02:02:29,916 --> 02:02:32,832
Not home at the moment or...
879
02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:40,207
Not at all.
880
02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:42,874
- Who's that?
- Where are you. . .?
881
02:02:48,916 --> 02:02:51,540
l was looking for Bandi Citrom.
882
02:02:52,875 --> 02:02:54,582
He's not at home.
883
02:02:56,666 --> 02:02:58,874
Come back later.
884
02:03:01,041 --> 02:03:05,707
ln a few days. Maybe.
885
02:03:15,250 --> 02:03:20,165
Wait! Wait!
886
02:03:27,916 --> 02:03:30,124
Tickets, please!
887
02:03:33,208 --> 02:03:35,874
- Ticket!
- l haven't got one.
888
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:40,624
- Then get one.
- l haven't any money.
889
02:03:41,583 --> 02:03:46,374
- You can't travel without a ticket!
- My leg hurts.
890
02:03:46,541 --> 02:03:51,582
- l'm sorry, l didn't make the law.
- Enough of that, give me a ticket!
891
02:03:55,041 --> 02:03:57,165
- Thank you.
- Don't thank me!
892
02:03:57,375 --> 02:04:00,624
Some people should be ashamed of themselves!
893
02:04:03,208 --> 02:04:07,582
- Come from Germany, my boy?
- Yes.
894
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:12,124
- Concentration camp?
- Naturally.
895
02:04:12,375 --> 02:04:15,915
- Which one?
- Buchenwald.
896
02:04:16,041 --> 02:04:21,624
l've heard of it. Another one of hell's circles. . .
897
02:04:21,750 --> 02:04:25,540
- Where did they drag you off from?
- Budapest.
898
02:04:27,166 --> 02:04:30,165
You must have suffered many dreadful things.
899
02:04:30,291 --> 02:04:33,249
Depends what you call dreadful.
900
02:04:33,250 --> 02:04:37,540
l'm sure you were starved and maybe beaten too...
901
02:04:38,541 --> 02:04:42,207
- Naturally.
-Why do you keep saying "naturally",
902
02:04:42,333 --> 02:04:44,332
when it's not the slightest bit natural?
903
02:04:44,583 --> 02:04:46,207
lt is in concentration camp.
904
02:04:46,791 --> 02:04:49,374
That's true, but. . . a concentration
camp itself is not natural.
905
02:04:49,541 --> 02:04:53,165
The main thing is it's over, you survived!
906
02:04:56,500 --> 02:05:04,332
What do you feel now
907
02:05:04,458 --> 02:05:11,499
you're home again. . .
in the town that you left behind?
908
02:05:14,208 --> 02:05:16,874
Hatred.
909
02:06:18,416 --> 02:06:19,290
We've got nothing.
910
02:06:20,541 --> 02:06:21,582
What d'you want?
911
02:06:21,916 --> 02:06:24,540
- Excuse me, but l live here.
- You?
912
02:06:24,750 --> 02:06:28,665
You must have mistaken
the number! This is our flat!
913
02:07:24,916 --> 02:07:28,207
Gyurka! Gyurka!
914
02:07:28,333 --> 02:07:31,665
- Come in, my boy!
- Look at that!
915
02:07:31,916 --> 02:07:35,332
l rang the bell,
but someone else came to the door.
916
02:07:35,458 --> 02:07:37,040
What's happened?
917
02:07:37,166 --> 02:07:40,540
Come on in! Come in.
918
02:07:41,000 --> 02:07:45,374
- He's back!
- When? Tell us about it!
919
02:07:45,625 --> 02:07:47,749
Come in quickly, son!
920
02:07:47,916 --> 02:07:52,707
- When did you arrive?
- Let's see you!
921
02:07:53,416 --> 02:07:57,124
l rang and someone else came to the door.
922
02:07:59,166 --> 02:08:01,374
Aren't you hungry?
923
02:08:02,375 --> 02:08:05,915
You used to love bread and
dripping with onion rings. . .
924
02:08:06,041 --> 02:08:11,207
Sit down, over there. That's it.
925
02:08:28,250 --> 02:08:30,207
My father?
926
02:08:33,708 --> 02:08:35,165
ls he dead?
927
02:08:35,291 --> 02:08:37,332
He didn't suffer long. . .
928
02:08:37,541 --> 02:08:41,499
His friends brought the news from a German camp...
929
02:08:41,750 --> 02:08:44,749
But it's in Austrian territory.
930
02:08:45,250 --> 02:08:52,874
- What was it called?
- Damn. . .
931
02:08:53,625 --> 02:08:55,707
- Mauthausen.
- Mauthausen! That's it!
932
02:08:55,833 --> 02:08:57,707
Mauthausen.
933
02:09:00,291 --> 02:09:02,790
D'you know anything about my mother?
934
02:09:02,916 --> 02:09:06,040
Of course. She's well.
935
02:09:06,166 --> 02:09:08,832
She survived. She's fine.
936
02:09:08,958 --> 02:09:14,540
She came by a week looking for you.
937
02:09:14,916 --> 02:09:17,332
And my stepmother?
938
02:09:19,166 --> 02:09:24,040
Well, she got married... But who to?
939
02:09:24,375 --> 02:09:29,207
- Somebody Kovacs l think.
- Not Kovacs, more like Futo...
940
02:09:29,458 --> 02:09:30,832
Come off it!
941
02:09:30,958 --> 02:09:35,374
- Suto.
- Suto! That's it. Of course!
942
02:09:36,166 --> 02:09:38,874
She's got a lot to thank him for.
943
02:09:39,125 --> 02:09:41,457
He saved the family assets.
944
02:09:41,625 --> 02:09:44,207
He even hid her in the hard times.
945
02:09:44,416 --> 02:09:48,207
- Maybe it was a bit hurried.
- Maybe. . .
946
02:09:48,916 --> 02:09:51,915
Understandable, though.
947
02:09:54,041 --> 02:09:55,957
Eat up, my boy.
948
02:09:59,541 --> 02:10:02,374
Do you remember when l sat here last?
949
02:10:02,541 --> 02:10:06,915
You debated whether l should
take the bus or train to Auschwitz.
950
02:10:08,583 --> 02:10:13,749
How could we know that your road
would lead to the hell of the camps.
951
02:10:13,916 --> 02:10:15,832
The camps aren't hell.
952
02:10:16,208 --> 02:10:19,749
What are they then?
l can only imagine them as hell.
953
02:10:19,916 --> 02:10:25,290
- l can't imagine hell.
- l can't see what's the difference?
954
02:10:25,541 --> 02:10:28,540
Hell doesn't exist, but the camps do.
955
02:10:28,666 --> 02:10:35,374
Luckily it's all over. You're home again.
956
02:10:35,958 --> 02:10:39,415
You should be thinking about your future.
957
02:10:39,541 --> 02:10:42,790
- My future?
- First and foremost.
958
02:10:43,166 --> 02:10:44,499
Why?
959
02:10:44,833 --> 02:10:47,415
So that we can live.
960
02:10:47,541 --> 02:10:49,207
Live in freedom.
961
02:10:49,375 --> 02:10:52,540
We can't start a new life with that burden.
962
02:10:52,708 --> 02:10:54,540
What about my old life?
963
02:10:54,958 --> 02:10:57,707
That's mine too.
964
02:10:58,416 --> 02:10:59,457
lt's over.
965
02:10:59,583 --> 02:11:02,790
We were assigned a different fate then.
966
02:11:02,958 --> 02:11:05,582
But l accepted that fate.
967
02:11:05,833 --> 02:11:09,207
- We all accepted it.
- We had no choice.
968
02:11:09,375 --> 02:11:13,624
- But now we're free.
- We always were!
969
02:11:15,541 --> 02:11:17,540
There was always enough time.
970
02:11:18,375 --> 02:11:21,040
We waited a whole day in the customs house.
971
02:11:21,208 --> 02:11:24,040
ln Auschwitz we waited at least half an hour.
972
02:11:25,791 --> 02:11:29,707
Things could always have turned out
differently from what they did -
973
02:11:29,875 --> 02:11:36,874
in Auschwitz just as at home
when we bid my father farewell.
974
02:11:42,458 --> 02:11:43,790
But what else could we have done?
975
02:11:43,916 --> 02:11:48,457
l think you're tired. You've had a long journey.
976
02:11:48,583 --> 02:11:50,582
a very long one.
977
02:11:50,916 --> 02:11:55,040
Your mother's waiting. How happy she'll be!
978
02:11:55,166 --> 02:11:59,040
Hurry home! Make her happy!
979
02:11:59,166 --> 02:12:03,332
- Come, Gyurka.
- Off you go!
980
02:12:18,833 --> 02:12:24,832
Gyurka! What do you look like?
981
02:12:31,708 --> 02:12:34,165
Was it very dreadful?
982
02:12:39,916 --> 02:12:43,082
Did you learn what it means to be 'a Jew'?
983
02:12:43,875 --> 02:12:47,707
lt doesn't matter any more. lt's over.
984
02:12:48,208 --> 02:12:52,124
- Remember how you cried?
- Did l?
985
02:12:52,291 --> 02:12:55,832
l tried to comfort you, but l had no right
986
02:12:55,958 --> 02:12:58,040
because l was a Jew too.
987
02:12:58,166 --> 02:13:00,624
Why, what are you now?
988
02:13:00,875 --> 02:13:07,124
l don't know. Maybe l don't even exist.
989
02:13:07,541 --> 02:13:12,374
You're so strange. You've changed.
990
02:13:17,125 --> 02:13:22,790
- l died once.
- What do you mean?
991
02:13:25,541 --> 02:13:29,374
l can't be angry any more.
992
02:13:50,208 --> 02:13:53,374
To gather strength l stopped
for a minute in the square.
993
02:13:53,500 --> 02:13:59,124
lt was that certain hour - even now,
even here l recognized it -
994
02:13:59,375 --> 02:14:02,040
my favourite hour in the camp.
995
02:14:02,166 --> 02:14:06,957
And l was filled with a sharp,
painful and helpless feeling:
996
02:14:07,375 --> 02:14:08,999
l felt homesick...
997
02:14:10,416 --> 02:14:14,874
Yes, in a certain sense life
there was cleaner and simpler.
998
02:14:15,125 --> 02:14:18,374
Those who had saved me came back to me.
999
02:14:18,500 --> 02:14:21,832
For the first time l thought of them
with mild resentment,
1000
02:14:22,208 --> 02:14:24,374
a kind of affectionate grudge.
1001
02:14:26,666 --> 02:14:27,915
But let's not exaggerate.
1002
02:14:28,041 --> 02:14:32,374
l accept every argument for
the price of being able to live.
1003
02:14:32,625 --> 02:14:35,582
l looked around in that gentle, dusky square,
1004
02:14:35,958 --> 02:14:39,249
at that storm-tossed street which
nonetheless held so much promise,
1005
02:14:39,583 --> 02:14:42,540
l felt the readiness gather within me:
1006
02:14:42,916 --> 02:14:46,290
l would continue this uncontinuable life of mine.
1007
02:14:46,541 --> 02:14:48,415
l remembered my mother had plans for me
1008
02:14:48,541 --> 02:14:51,707
to become an engineer, or a doctor.
1009
02:14:51,833 --> 02:14:53,540
And that's what'll happen:
1010
02:14:53,666 --> 02:14:57,749
there's nothing too unimaginable to endure.
1011
02:14:58,041 --> 02:15:00,999
And in my own way l already know that,
1012
02:15:01,125 --> 02:15:03,582
lying in wait for me like some unavoidable trap,
1013
02:15:03,708 --> 02:15:05,582
is happiness.
1014
02:15:05,708 --> 02:15:09,790
Even beside the chimneys
in the pause between torments
1015
02:15:09,916 --> 02:15:12,874
there was something similar to happiness.
1016
02:15:13,000 --> 02:15:15,540
People only ask about the horrors,
1017
02:15:16,083 --> 02:15:17,915
whereas l should talk about
1018
02:15:17,916 --> 02:15:22,374
the happiness of the camps next time, if they ask.
1019
02:15:23,791 --> 02:15:25,415
lf they ask at all.
1020
02:15:25,500 --> 02:15:27,707
And if l don't forget myself.
