I swear by God a solemn oath.

My father
wants to meet you.

Where do you translate?

Against SS officers
who served in a camp.

I want to ask you to leave.

If the trial goes by quickly, I'll
be back home in six weeks' time.

Is there something you have
to confess to me, my daughter?

This is the first
time I'm seeing a prostitute.

- Will you go back to the bunker?
- Maybe.

In 1943, my husband Josef and my
two girls, Ruth and Miriam, and I

were deported to Auschwitz.

None of you knew
anything, right?

You also didn't know
about the gassings!

Mrs. Cohen!

I thought I'd forgotten
the whole thing.

Primary Defendant Mulka.
You were the aide-de-camp.

I only worked in the office.

He owns a business now. And
his wife is here as well.

We don't patronize establishments
owned by snitches.

How do you know them?
How come you know Robert Mulka?

This is the Boger family.

Diana?

Father!

You... will have to
wait a little longer.

What do you mean?

Well, uh...

Good news?

Father says he won't
be out by February.

Good evening, Wilhelm.

Listen, I'm sorry.
They're dragging this out.

These are first-hand
assessments.

We had prepared a surprise for you.
We booked the trip to Berchtesgaden.

You'll have
to go without me.

We wouldn't want
to go without you.

Can you still cancel?

Yes, I'll try.

Wilhelm, I'm starting
to get worried.

There is absolutely
no need, Therese.

I'll go out for a drive.

Again?

What's behind...

your recent obsession
with driving?

Practice makes perfect.

♪ We've got a dance
in Liverpool ♪

♪ The cats and chicks
all think it's cool ♪

♪ It started off
with just a romp ♪

♪ Now they call it
the cavern stomp ♪

♪ Keep your jive and
your rock and roll ♪

♪ Do the cavern stomp... ♪

"Earlobe"?
What about your earlobe?

It means we'll run
away together, to the South.

That's
where I've just come from.

All right, then we'll go further
north until we see penguins.

We can't. This is
your father's car.

You may steal a man's
daughter, but never his car.

Mm-hmm.

He would never forgive me.

Let's be responsible.

You're too good for
this world, Aldo.

You're good, too.

I have no idea how I'm
supposed to tell my parents.

THE INTERPRETER OF SILENCE

The FATHER

- Have a safe trip home.
- Thank you. Good night.

Goodbye.

I've been looking
forward to this all day.

I... Don't you think that
looks a bit too posh?

I don't know, Edith.

But we have a
washing machine now.

Almost like the Four Seasons.

Yes, but... I mean, I
don't like it. It looks...

It looks as if we're trying
too hard, doesn't it?

Why are you
women never satisfied?

If we were as
complacent as you men are,

there would be no
hope for humanity.

Well, so far we've managed
just fine without those tablecloths.

- But we have to go with the times, Ludwig.
- Gosh. Eva, what do you say?

How come you know the Mulkas?

What do you mean?

The couple that came in just
now. He's the primary defendant.

In the courtroom, I already had an
inkling that I had met this woman before.

Well... You
must be mistaken.

Why would we be involved
with those people?

I saw him spit at
your feet, Mom.

- I don't have to put up with this.
- We don't understand it either.

Eva, we don't know these people.

- That's not what it looked like.
- Eva, my child.

Just believe us, please.

Hello?

Good morning.

What are you looking for, Miss?

I wanted to see Mrs. Cohen.

You dropped her off,
didn't you?

Are you related?

No, I just have her coat.

This was
her den for several weeks.

She left behind mountains
of glass bottles.

Those people don't
understand hygiene.

And now I'm the one who has to
get the lice out of the cracks.

Coaxing isn't
going to work here.

We'll have to fumigate the room.

Did she leave?

She was killed in an accident yesterday.
In front of the Gallus Community Center.

But... Wasn't it
just a concussion?

Well, uh... This morning,
some prosecutor guy came in...

a young man, he wanted to pay, but
she had already paid, as you know.

Well, I only had to cover the cost
of the anti-lice agent myself.

Or will you pay for it?

I can't believe that I
had to see her again!

Let it go, dear.

That vicious person!

How can you remain so calm?

She almost had you
on her conscience!

That was 20 years ago.

We have to leave.

But first, we eat.

At
least one bread roll.

Do you know how many of these
bread rolls I've already had? 128.

I'm chewing on this bread roll,
and they're chewing on this trial.

You've been losing weight.

People will think you're
nervous because you're guilty.

They'll read something into it.

Today, they will call Mrs.
Masur to the witness stand.

Eat!

I sometimes see a crescent-shaped
light, in rainbow colors.

Yes, that sounds like a
migraine. It's called aura.

- Mr. Kübler?
- What I would recommend...

Mr. Kübler?

- Good morning.
- Mr. Kübler?

Mr. Kübler, the justice system
has been harshly criticized,

especially by the political left, because
the primary defendant is still at large.

He was released on bail.

- There's a difference.
- Hm...

But I assume we can have
this revoked after today.

Are you saying Mr. Mulka
will go to jail today?

We're... well prepared.

- Thank you for your statement.
- Thank you.

No. Morning.

- He'd never be able to provide for you.
- Morning.

You'll have to
bear that in mind.

- On the way back, he told me a story...
- Hm?

Everyone already knows it. But
he asked me not to tell anyone.

- Which story?
- That he had been in the camp as well!

- I'd never heard that story.
- As a child.

Ah, good morning.

- Not for long.
- Right.

- Did you hear about Rachel Cohen?
- Mm-hmm.

We have a serious problem.

What are we going to
do with a dead woman?

Mrs. Cohen has no
relatives in Poland

who could pay for the
repatriation of her body.

We'll have to file an application
with the city for a pauper's funeral.

Today, it's Mulka's turn.

The prosecutor's office is certain
that his bail will be revoked.

Nebel said so, and he had been told by
Kübler. Reserve half a page for this.

NO EXIT

The high
court. All rise, please.

I hereby declare the 23rd
day of the trial open.

Witness, your
name is Anna Masur.

You were born on September
24, 1915, in Breslau.

What's your profession?

I used to be a
secretary. Now I can't work anymore.

I used
to be a secretary.

Now I'm unable to work.

Can you tell me your inmate
identification number?

Could you tell me your
camp number? I can't find it here.

Two, zero,

- one, six, seven.
- Ah... One, six, seven.

Why do you have that?

That's incorrect.

I'm
sorry. It's 33028.

Witness,

please describe your
work at the camp.

Please tell us
about your work in the camp.

I came
to Auschwitz in June of 1942.

I was assigned to work in
the registration office.

I had to issue death certificates.

Sometimes hundreds
of them per day.

And those were only for the
people who had died in the camp.

Those who were sent directly
to the gas... No one recorded their names.

What did you put down
as the cause of death?

What cause
of death did you write there?

Heart failure or typhoid.

Cardiac
insufficiency or typhoid fever.

In reality, these
people have been executed...

- beaten or tortured to death.
- But they were shot, beaten

or tortured to death.

Did you see the dead bodies, witness?
How can you make such a claim?

Have you seen the
bodies? How do you know that?

Everyone knew.

It was
common knowledge.

- Why did you not refuse?
- Why didn't you protest?

You are guilty
of forging documents.

Silence
in the courtroom!

Answer the question, witness.

Please
answer the question.

- Once.
- One time...

- Once... I was told to put down...
- One time... I was told to put down...

- "cardiac insufficiency"...
- heart failure...

- as the cause of a woman's death.
- As the cause of death of a certain woman.

I refused.

I refused.

What was different
about this woman?

Why
that particular woman?

It was my friend.

She
was a friend of mine.

Since childhood.

We had
been childhood friends.

They
brought us together.

We had
arrived at the camp together.

- I found out how she died.
- I learned how she had died.

In the
Women's Infirmary Block.

Their doctors were looking for cheaper
methods of female sterilization.

The doctors were trying
to find an inexpensive way of...

- They injected some fluid into the uterus.
- Sterilizing women...

They
injected a liquid...

into the uterus.

That
would harden like concrete.

It would then
harden. Like concrete.

That
one time, I refused.

That
one time, I refused.

My boss said...

My boss told me...

"If you refuse,

you'll be sent to the gas."

Silence!

These stories about the infirmary
blocks are merely rumors, hearsay.

Your Honor, I request to
have the witness dismissed.

She cannot contribute to
establishing the truth.

Denied.

Witness, I must
admonish you to only speak about

what you have seen
with your own eyes.

Please
testify only what you saw.

- I did see him.
- I saw him.

- Nearly every day.
- Nearly every day.

- He was my boss.
- He was my boss.

I conclude. The defendant threatened
the witness with gassing her.

So far, he has claimed to have
no knowledge of the gassings.

Um...

This woman is putting
words into my mouth.

Defendant
Mulka, sit down.

Defendant.

Is it true that you lived
here with your family?

That's a bad illustration.

The registry office and
the camp administration were here.

The gas chamber

and the crematorium of
the main camp were here.

You had to walk past
them, twice a day!

And you could see
the building from your office.

It is simply not possible that
you knew nothing of the gassings.

Your Honor.

The map is wrong.

I request the
immediate revocation

of primary defendant Robert
Mulka's suspended sentence.

As I've said, the map is wrong.

The staff accommodation blocks
were to the east of the main camp.

And I couldn't see
anything from my office.

There are different maps and
plans of the camp complex.

By the Germans, the
Americans, and the Soviets.

They all
contradict each other.

The prosecutor's office has taken
only the Soviet maps into account.

The Soviet maps were made right
after the liberation of the camp

and on the basis of
aerial photographs.

Thus, we have formed the opinion that
they are the most accurate depiction

of the reality of the camp during
the time it was still in operation.

But the Americans have
superior surveying technology!

Your Honor, I request that these
maps not be admitted as evidence.

Silence!

- We'll have to approve it.
- Hm... Alright.

Sustained.

For the record... The maps
may not be admitted as evidence.

Agreed.

And the motion for the revocation
of the suspended sentence...

is denied.

We have to go there.

Your Honor, we request
an on-site visit.

A delegation must travel to
Poland to survey the location.

Your request
will be considered.

Good
evening, Miss Bruhns.

Say hello to your
parents from me.

Mr. Grethke said

that I was copying Tommi's work.

That's not true, because
Tommi was copying mine!

He got a C and I got an F!

- That's so unfair!
- Yes.

Really unfair, because
you're both equally stupid.

Oh, come on.

Eva!

We're having sausage salad.

Mr. Ungureit
sends his regards.

I don't want him to send his
regards, I want him to pay his tab.

Eva, this is so unfair! Tommi
copied my work, and he got a C...

Rachel Cohen died.

And you said she
had been discharged.

Who died?

Why did you lie to me?

I'm sorry, Eva. I
just wanted to protect you.

Why would you need to know? The
only thing that will happen now

is that you'll feel guilty. And
guilt can eat you up inside.

I just don't want to be lied to!

Come on.
She meant well, Eva.

The only place where you can and
should be honest is the family!

The family is the place where
people really screw each other over.

Annegret, what...
Mind your language.

Is "gilp" an animal?

"Gilp"?
Well... of course

- it's an animal. A formidable one at that!
- Mm-hmm...

The "common gilp" is...
They're really annoying, right?

Yes, they're super hairy.

- And reek of cold sweat.
- Mm-hmm...

And they always go, "You!"

You!

And you!

You! You! You!

You! You! You!

We'll take it with
us. We'll take it with us...

I want to
show you something.

Mm-hmm.

You sound so solemn.

It's about
a 10-minute walk.

I don't know why this is making me
think of Little Red Riding Hood.

Here.

It looks like a church.

Is this going to be a baptism,
a wedding, or a funeral?

How did you
find this place?

I was a young boy back then.

Did your parents take you here?

I was among the children who
were evacuated during the war.

To this area, to
my uncle's farm.

And?

And...

I don't remember anything.

Neither do I.

Apparently, Annegret and I were
sent to Juist. To my grandma's home.

Aren't you wearing stockings?

I am.

But they're so delicate. They
were woven from angel hair.

Is that so?

Mm-hmm.

I ordered them
from Neckermann's.

Just you wait, you're
in for a beating!

How your
heart is pounding!

I think it's yours.

I'll take you home, alright?

I have to go to the office
and the shipping department.

- Can I ask you something?
- Yes.

Do you not love me?

My God, Eva! I even
want to marry you!

You can't get more
love than that!

Then why can't
you sleep with me?

I mean, that's
part of a marriage!

- You should tell me if you...
- Stop whining.

If there's something wrong
with you. Before it's too late.

I'm just traditional.

Don't make me laugh!

I don't believe you!

Tell me what's going on. Otherwise,
I'll cancel the engagement on Sunday.

I lied to you.

Unfortunately, I still remember
everything clearly as if it was yesterday.

What do you mean?

I hated everything on that farm.

Especially my cousins.

One day, my uncle
came up to me...

and told me that
my mother had died.

She died during a US airstrike.

They said she was running
down the streets like a human torch.

I wasn't there for her.
I couldn't protect her.

I wanted to go back to the city
to free my father from prison.

I ran away that night,
went through the forest...

Here, and...

Well, and I failed
miserably doing that, too.

I don't understand this story.

I mean, it's terrible, but
what does it have to do...

with us?

It might be something
psychological.

Men aren't machines either.

Your father and I, we had some
problems in the beginning as well.

Please...

And we both
didn't know how to...

Mom, please, I
don't want to know.

I wanted some general
advice from you.

Well, he says he's traditional.

Does such a man really exist?

Well, there are a few
decent ones, of course.

But there are
many, many, many...

who can't control
their sex drive.

But I think it's a good
idea to test before marriage

whether it all works
out in the bedroom.

What's the point of a marriage
if it's not consummated?

What if he intends to use you as a beard
because he's not interested in women?

- Jürgen wouldn't do that to me.
- Mm.

He wants to do it.

I can feel it. But
somehow, he can't.

Schoormann's got it...

But he won't get it up.

Mom!

Get out the dessert spoons,
they're behind the hatch.

I think he should go and see
a doctor. It might be a medical issue.

And you can ask him to do that.

I mean, you do want to
have children after all.

At least six. That's what
you always used to say.

Do you still want six? Eva?

Or have you
come to your senses?

Annegret made this, right?

Yes.

When she was eight or nine.

And where's that?

That...

That must be the house your
father grew up in, on Juist.

That's where you lived during
the war. With Grandma Ella.

Why don't I remember? I only remember
starting school here in Frankfurt.

Eva, sweetie, you
were very, very young.

That's us.

That's right.

- And that...
- Maybe you remember...

the sea, the North Sea.

No.

One time...

A child drowned while
swimming and was never found.

After that incident, you
stopped going into the water.

Why?

Because you were afraid

that the girl's corpse was floating
around and that you would touch it.

Yes...

And then Dad comforted me.

And he said that it wouldn't
be such a bad thing after all.

On the contrary.

The parents would then have the
chance to finally bury their child.

I think I'll just never
move out of this house.

No, no, no. I don't think so. One
old spinster in the house is enough.

Well, Annegret and spinster...

What do you mean?

An Italian!

- He's from South Tyrol!
- It's a disgrace!

- He's a good man. I love him.
- Everyone will be gossiping about you!

Our family's reputation
will be ruined!

You'll put an end to this, now.

Before your father finds out.

We want to get
married as soon as possible.

A proper German girl will
not marry a foreigner.

And we'll get rid of that.

Right, I will call Dr. Glaubitz.

He's got to find
a way to help us.

- He's got to...
- No!

I won't do it.

- I'd rather kill myself!
- Stay here, young lady!

GERMAN HOUSE RESTAURANT

COCA COLA, CANDY,
DRINKS REFRESHMENTS

GERMAN HOUSE RESTAURANT

"Shot up."
That's what they called it

in camp jargon.

The defendant

injected up to a
thousand inmates

between July 1942 and August 1943
with phenol, which killed them.

At one point,

75 Polish children
arrived at the camp.

Klehr and defendant Broad

murdered them together.

But that's not true.

- They were given an injection...
- Slander!

Through the heart.

Silence!

First, you gave the
children a ball.

They were playing in the courtyard
between Blocks 11 and 12.

The children had such a
good time in the camp.

- There was even a playground. Here!
- Take your seat, Defendant Klehr.

The playground was here!

Lies! That's a lie!

The court has already ruled

that the overview map won't
be admitted as evidence.

Continue, witness.
What was your role in the camp?

During the preliminary hearing, you
mentioned one particular incident.

I am referring to your father. Was
your father in the camp as well?

Was your father in
the camp as well?

Yes, one day,
my father was led in...

I don't think
it's going to happen.

In theory, the court would
grant an on-site visit.

But in practice, obtaining the
visas to enter Poland is a problem.

- Well, but we have to go.
- Yes...

We have an
enormous list of things

witnesses allegedly could not have
seen because there was no window

- facing the Black Wall...
- Miss Bruhns?

- I have to...
- Did you leave anything behind?

I have to go to the file room.
May I have the key, please?

You haven't finished
translating the documents from Warsaw?

We need the translations
by tomorrow.

They're done, I've already
given them to Miss Lehmkuhl.

I'm looking for my notebook. It was
a present. And it's an heirloom.

Hm.

Thank you.

What's
wrong with her today?

It'll be the usual
female problem.

And what about your problem?

What do you mean?

Uh...

I meant your spiritual welfare.

I've heard some rumors, and I'd like to
discuss them with you, in a quiet moment.

Maybe we could go out
for dinner at some point.

- Sure.
- Maybe tonight?

I've already got a date
tonight, unfortunately.

All right.

May I take the car?

Be my guest.

Awkward!

Shelf Eight.

"Brinkmann.

Brosek, Bruckmann, Bruckner.
Bruhns, Anton Bruhns."

OFFICERS' MESS

"Bruhns, Ludwig."

Have you
found your notebook?

What makes it an heirloom?

I found nothing.
Nothing at all.

Well, sorry to hear that.

Was that your question?

No. I wanted to ask you if
you could lend me 50 marks.

I don't know.

Here.

That's 20, but thanks.

I don't have more
on me right now.

You'll get it back on the first
of the next month. I promise.

Therese.

Wilhelm.

What's so urgent?

Do you want to talk about this
stupid and irrelevant vacation again?

I've canceled the
Berchtesgaden trip.

- Are the girls in good health?
- Yes.

More than that. Diana got
herself pregnant by a foreigner.

What?

It's because you're not here.
Everything's getting out of hand.

Where does he come from?

From Italy.

How old is he? What's his job?

I don't know.

It doesn't matter, anyway.

I've booked an appointment
at St. Elizabeth's Hospital.

With Dr. Glaubitz.

She refuses to go. You have to
talk to her and make her go.

I'm...

I'm against the abortion.

Oh, you of all people?

How much money do we have
to give away every month?

Six hundred marks
for three bastards?

That's not the point here.
And we can afford it, Therese.

A new life is being
brought into this world.

- It was God's plan.
- Let's leave God out of it.

By God, your daughter
was shameless!

I want to meet the
child's father.

Bring him
along this Sunday.

All right, then.

You'll see for yourself that such a
relationship would be inconceivable.

Goodbye, Wilhelm.

Goodbye, Therese.

Come on.

It's me, David.

Why don't you kick in the door next time?

It's the weekend. It's warm. I have
the car, we could go somewhere.

To Lohrberg Hill,
to the Forest Inn.

I see. Sweet.

But I've already made a good
catch at the Four Seasons today.

How about
some stargazing later?

I can show you four
constellations.

I've got a client.

I can wait.

Suit yourself.

But don't you dare
knock on the door again.

Or else I'll have to start
all over again in here.

Okay.

Right, little
Klehr. Where were we?

Goodbye. Have a nice evening.

Hey!

Mommy.

Is it the mister?

Do you know how long it's been
since I last went to Lohrberg Hill?

What kind of car do you drive?

Do you know who that was?

A man who
tipped me 30 marks.

He's one of the defendants.

A sadist pig.

Do you know what he did?

- He injected people's hearts...
- I don't care.

You can't be serious.

Listen up, boy.

My family and I, we used to
live in a village in Thuringia,

right by the entrance
to the village.

I was 13 when the Russians came.

They had to go past our house.

And they went past
again when they left.

I've lost all faith in humanity.

Deep inside, every man is a pig.

Now I can at least earn
a living from this fact.

Are we going?

You know what I do.

Yes.

With that guy?

With that guy...

With a murderer?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

Would you like to have
curls like an angel?

Are you excited? I
most certainly am.

Can I borrow your white blouse?

Gosh, it's really going
to happen now, right?

The best day in a woman's life.

Is the engagement
the second-best day then?

Or is that the day your
husband predeceases you?

You know, there are women who
only really begin to flourish

when their husbands have died.
That's about 99 percent of all women.

Shut up, Annegret!

Get out!

Gosh, you're really nervous.

Don't worry, boy.
I'm feeling fine today.

He slept really well. Three
hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Don't talk about
me as if I weren't here.

You're all lathered up.
We can't even see you.

I just wanted to
ask you, Father...

- It's really important...
- Yes, yes, yes.

First impressions, I know.

First impressions.

You can never change a person's
first impression of you.

You know, your mood
can change quickly.

Otherwise, you'd all
fall asleep from boredom.

What's with
the puppy eyes?

What do you want? Do you
want me to stay at home?

We wanted to ask you to take the
diazepam that Bittner prescribed.

Out of the question.

I want to be sober when
I meet the Bruhns family.

And, are we going to dress
up? But nothing too fancy.

I don't want to give the
impression of being a big shot.

But you are a big shot, father.

Fate forced me
into this position.

We'll take the Citroën.

Hello, Mrs. Boger.

What's on the menu today?

It smells nice. Thank you.

Wait! Come with me!

After you.

What are they doing?

They're going to search him.

They have their reasons.

I didn't know I had so
many hiding places on me.

Eva, do birds go
to heaven as well?

Yes, all animals go to heaven.

We have nothing to be ashamed of.
We lost everything during the war.

We had to start
from scratch again.

We paid off our loans.

We didn't go on vacation.

We paid off our
mortgage four years ago.

We have nothing to be ashamed of.
People love to come to our restaurant.

Huh! What do I see
with my swollen eyes?

It looks like a really posh
family's home. Like Villa Hügel.

Or a mansion on the
slopes of the Taunus.

Mom!

These cushions are hideous! Was
there a clearance sale at a brothel?

You'd better take a
look in the mirror.

Brothel! Brothel! Brothel!

Edith, try this.

Is it
too much allspice?

No. It's good.

You could add a small
spoonful of seasoning.

The roast needs
a couple more minutes.

What meat is it?

It's a pork roast.

Was the pig once alive?

I would hope so! You have
to eat well to grow big and strong.

You should enjoy the food.

You need to put on some
weight, you tiny person!

Eva, could you get the knife
banks from the kitchen, please?

This is Auschwitz, and
we used to live there.

Stefanovich, could you get eight
napkins from the restaurant, please?

We already have some.

Now. Go.

I'm not sure I understand, Eva.
That's just something a child drew.

You made it, and it's us!

I get that you're stressed out, Eva. But
now you've completely lost your mind!

Feel free to tell me when things
have returned to normal down here.

By the way, our guests
will be arriving in 20 minutes.

You have to tell
me the truth. Now.

It was the best time
of our lives, Eva.

We
had a house there! And I...

It was the best time.

Before that, we were
always separated.

I used to be a seasonal worker

so I either went to the
sea or to the mountains.

But there, we lived together
as a family for the first time.

We had a house. We had
a garden. We had food.

And right next to us,
people were murdered.

Hundreds of them, every day.

Sweetie, we didn't know! We
thought it was just a labor camp.

For criminals and
work-shy people.

That's what they
were called back then.

We only found out long after the war that
innocent people had died there as well.

You didn't hear anything,
didn't see anything,

didn't know anything, right?

And why did Mulka have such
a strong reaction to you?

He was our neighbor, and...

We reported him once to the
Reich Security Main Office.

That's what it
was called back then.

And why?

He made prisoners
work in his house.

He didn't treat them
well. That's all we knew.

We didn't
know about the rest.

- And what happened then?
- Nothing.

The war ended. He became
a wealthy man in Hamburg.

And we had to keep working
ourselves to the bone.

- Right, Ludwig?
- That's right.

Right, if I don't go
and check on the roast,

we might as well just
bury it behind a dike.

And now, we'll look
to the future, Eva.

Right? I'll go and get the
champagne from the bucket.

Hello, Stefan.

I wouldn't go in
there if I were you.

What's going on?
Are they fighting?

They're arguing because of
a picture Annegret drew.

I see...

Now I'm curious.
