THE TESTAMENT

Continuing the appeal against the building project in Lendsdorf,

where, according to the claimants there is a mass grave

in which some 200 Jews are buried.

How many excavations were conducted in the area?

Twenty-one.

And nothing has been found?

the area in question has been excavated,

but the mass grave has yet to be found.

It's a very large area,

it's hard to cover so much ground.

Yes, Appendix 32.

In one testimony a woman claims

that she heard Jews screaming in front of her window in this area.

Another one claimed that he saw a truck carrying Jews stopping at this area.

Perhaps the historian would like to tell us where he wants construction halted?

In this area, or in that...

or perhaps the entire town?

We ask that the freeze on the construction remains in effect

until the grave is found.

With all due respect, this town needs to grow

and we have to step into the future and not linger in the past.

The victims should not pay for our inability to find the grave so far.

And so shouldn't the citizens of our town.

If it is not stopped,

the entire area will be covered with cement

and the grave will never be found.

Sir,

The Austrian Ministry of Interior

doesn't have the authority

to delay the development any longer.

If new evidence comes to light within the next seven days,

we'll be happy to examine it.

No appeal will be accepted after that time.

Is she anti-semitic?

Anti-semitic or not, we have only 5 days to get evidence.

We must check the classified files from ‘45.

That's out of the question.

They want to bury the case! Don't you understand?

It's the only place we haven't searched

Okay.

You'll get partial access.

If you find something we'll see what to do.

That jacket suits you.

I have to return it.

No, keep it for the interview.

What interview? -For the German channel.

Rina, you're good at that. My German isn't good enough.

They want you.

I don't have time.

Yoel, it will buy us time.

Don't forget the suit.

I'll speak to you in German and you can answer me in English, okay?

In that case I will answer in Hebrew.

He wants to answer in Hebrew, Ok?

No Problem.

Dr. Halberstam, why is this debate so important?

After all, it's only a building project and a few roads.

On the night between the 24th and 25th of March 1945

about 200 Jewish forced laborers were murdered

in the fields of Lendsdorf, Austria.

For some reason, none of the villagers remember

where the massacre took place.

Two witnesses, willing to testify after the war,

a local policeman and a Jewish survivor,

were both murdered.

This wasn't the methodical murder by the Nazis in the camps,

this was spontaneous murder by the locals,

which still denies its crimes

with the unofficial support of the authorities.

And you won't let it happen.

I'm a historian.

Like any scientist I investigate the truth.

An archeologist looks for relics.

I look for facts.

The archeologist's enemy is the dirt layers,

I fight time which may hide the facts.

And now you're fighting the Austrians who you claim are hiding the truth.

Look, ma'am,

man's tendency is to forget.

My role as an observant Jew, is to remember.

Dr. Halberstam, why don't you tell us a little about yourself?

To be honest, I'm not interesting,

you could even say boring.

Dr. Halberstam, are your parents Holocaust survivors?

True, they're Holocaust survivors,

but this is an objective scientific study.

So your personal life has no influence on you?

Your narrative...

I don't believe in narratives.

I believe in facts that lead to the truth.

Your truth. -Not my truth,

there's no "my truth."

If the truth is mine, it's not the truth.

The truth doesn't belong to me or to you.

The truth is absolute.

The truth is absolute.

You can choose to accept it or deny it.

I don't want a Filipina.

Why not? -I don't need a maid.

She'll help you.

Then what do I need you for?

There's news about your son on the internet.

"The survivors are represented by Dr. Halberstam

"of the Holocaust Institute in Jerusalem..."

If you want to mess with the Holocaust

it's your business, leave me out of it.

Is that all you have to say?

This is the Bondormin. Take the pink pill now.

The pink pill now! - I heard you.

I heard the first time.

Good morning.

What years are we looking at? 1944? 1945?

1945, death marches,

Austria, Lendsdorf.

Lendsdorf won't work, we aren't mapped at such a resolution.

How about "Hungarian emigrants"?

No, stay on the last search.

Close it.

Keep it.

Close it.

Close it.

Keep it.

Close it.

Close it?

Is she relevant?

No, close it.

Rivka,

check for this witness summons

P-440385-G, please.

Is it a classified testimony?

Uh... yes. -Do you have a name?

Fanya Hammel.

No, there is no Fanya Hammel.

Try Fanya Halberstam.

s-t-a-m, like you spell it?

Yes.

I don't have a Hammel nor a Halberstam.

That's strange.

I saw she testified.

There's a mention of a Mrs. Fanya Halberstam.

Relevant?

Yes, yes.

Mrs. Shoshana Weinstein's testimony

says she was her bridesmaid,

in the Cracow Ghetto. -I'll take that.

Mrs. Weinstein, did you give a testimony in the recent years?

Yes. -Okay.

Do you remember mentioning a Fanya Halberstam?

Of course, we were friends since I was yea-high.

Do you know if Fanya was in Austria during the war?

Austria? Of course not.

How would she get to Austria?

Tell me, what is this study about?

Mmm...

we're investigating a testimony she gave at the institute.

What? She gave a testimony?

You mean Fanya Halberstam, nee Hammel?

That's right.

Wife of Yosef Yitzhak Halberstam? -Yes.

She was my best friend.

Two weeks after her wedding she died in my arms, during a deportation.

This is me, this is Fanya,

this is Yosef Yitzhak Halberstam.

Is this the Fanya you're looking for?

Some people did horrible things to survive,

such as eating human flesh.

Some want to hide a family they had before the war.

But if no one can see the testimony,

why give it in the first place?

After they die the testimony opens for research.

I can access the classified testimony

if I ask for it for my research.

Do you need it for your research?

Rabbi Yoel,

why are you doing all this?

To find out who my mother is.

She isn't Fanya Halberstam. -Drop it.

But what about the truth? -The truth?

This is your Evil Urge.

It's your ego.

Search for truth is my ego?

Yoel,

are you a religious Jew?

So...

Do as I say and forget all this.

Did you read about the debate?

"The debate on the Lendsdorf affair reopened

"Representing the Holocaust Institute is Dr. Yoel Halberstam,

"an international expert

on Hungarian Jewry."

Nothing about me, as usual.

What is going on?

Are these classified?

Yes.

There was a witness killed in the 50's

but people are afraid to talk about what I'm telling you.

I'm afraid there might be reprisals against me.

The people are afraid. Even today.

That murder hasn't been solved yet.

And since then nothing has happened.

Those who deny the truth say it didn't happen.

But it did. If you keep your ears open you'll see.

I don't know anything about that.

We just heard that there had been a party going on

and that they had then gone off to shoot Jews.

I saw them, the Jews,

who did forced labor.

They were very unfortunate.

Actually we were all forced laborers.

We were forced to do it.

But there must be someone still alive, who was a witness,

and saw the grave.

I gather from your testimony

that you were in Lendsdorf in March 1945,

and I wanted more details of what happened there.

I didn't want people to know I was there.

After the war, a friend was summoned to testify in Vienna.

He was murdered on the way.

So I realized there was real danger.

I decided to keep quiet.

You mentioned there was a group of ten Jews

who dug a grave for the 200 murdered Jews.

Yes. -Aryeh Kluger was among the ten.

Yes. -Did he tell you where the grave was?

No.

We only heard gunshots from a distance, from the south, more or less.

The second time they took these ten men

did you hear gunshots?

No.

In Lendsdorf we didn't have a prayer-book

and we wanted to pray,

so we decided that everyone

would think of a prayer he remembered from home,

find a piece of paper, write down his prayer

and sign his name next to it.

Here.

All these people were in Lendsdorf?

During the death march I kept the prayer-book here,

I tied it to my body with a rope.

I was taking a risk, but...

This prayer-book saved my life.

How did it save your life?

I was able to pray. You see?

I kept it safe all this time.

And now I've decided,

since you're fighting so hard

to discover the truth about Lendsdorf

I want to give you

this prayer-book.

Keep it safe and it will keep you strong.

How'd the interview go?

Okay. -Just okay? -Yes.

I need you to release this classified file.

Is it for the debate?

Yes.

Where's the synopsis?

A witness mentioned her just now.

Okay. -I need it now.

"Stepha Bajek"

The Red Army file will arrive in two days.

They didn't want to e-mail it.

You can go home now.

Is that another classified file?

That's all for today.

I can help, you know. I'm not stupid.

We were told

our lager was going to the crematorium tomorrow

I had a crazy idea.

I knew, I'm not dying like this.

I'll get married before they gas me.

I'll leave the world married to a Jew.

At night men come to the latrines with carts

to take out the excrement.

I say to the men: I'm going to die tomorrow,

now I want to marry one of you.

I said: whoever marries me gets my leather shoes,

Fine shoes...

Then one of the men says "I'll do it".

he wasn't handsome neither ugly,

he seemed like a nice, decent man.

Then one said he'd be the rabbi

and the other two said they'd be the witnesses.

We got a cup and the rabbi said Kiddush on water,

Then the problem was

there wasn't a Kesibe [marriage contract].

I said: We don't need a Kesibe,

tomorrow I'm dying anyway and the groom is probably going to die, too

so what do we need a Kesibe for?

Suddenly I felt at peace,

I felt like the God of the Jews was watching over me.

How did I end up in the camp?

I was a maid in a Jewish house.

Good people.

My mother was their maid,

and one day when I was 3 or 4 years old, she left,

and never came back.

So I stayed with the Jews.

I knew all their holidays,

I drank their Kiddush wine on Shabbes, I ate the Matzes,

and when the Nazis came I said I was a Jew and went with them.

The villagers hated me anyway since I liked Jews.

The truth is, I was happy in the camp,

everyone there was Jewish,

and for the first time, so was I.

Yes.

So get Yitzhak to sign and send them over.

Yes.

Rivkie, don't forget the booking slip, okay? Good.

Thanks. Bye.

I wanted to talk to you about Mom.

What is it?

What I'm trying to say is...

Mom isn't who we think she is.

And this has implications on both you and me.

What?

She isn't Jewish.

Mom?

I found her testimony.

It's a long story.

She's a Goy.

Yoelish, what are you talking about?

Just look.

I'll show it to Aharon.

See for yourself. -I'll show it to Aharon.

Aharon? It's a document about Mom.

Exactly,

Aharon knows all about documents.

Don't you trust me?

What do you want, Yoel?

Mom testified.

Watch the testimony at the Institute.

I'm not going to the Institute. That's crazy.

Why not? -Why not? I'm at work.

There's nobody here. -I'll show it to Aharon. That's that.

"..And their cry ascended to god because of their bondage...

"And god heard their groaing..."

It was 2:00 a.m.

I told you before

how I heard the crying

as they were outside shooting them,

I shut all the windows, and I plugged my ears,

so that I wouldn't hear.

And then we...

Then people talked about it,

But it was all in secret. We had no access to that area.

You couldn't get near, Everything was under guard.

That's why I can't say where they are buried.

Okay, I have 54 people who mentioned Lendsdorf.

I eliminated those who were born before 1915,

probably dead.

That leaves Birnbaum, Sternberger, Rothenberg,

Brody, Zwebner, Friedman, Fuchs, Krietzer and...

Unger.

Yes, Unger.

Good. Birnbaum, Zwebner and Fuchs are dead.

We found Krietzer but he had no information.

We put notices for the others in papers worldwide.

No response. 10 years.

What about Bajek?

She won't help us.

How did you hear about Bajek?

It was on the desk.

On the desk?

Listen, we're working on this together...

you know, curiosity...

Yoel'ish.

Aren't you at work?

What did Aharon say?

The rabbis say it's in the realm of doubt.

Doubt?

It says she's a Polish goy.

Maybe it's a forgery.

Many Jews posed as gentiles. -Mirush...

she says it herself.

It's in the realm of doubt, That's it.

Mirush, we have to convert to Judaism.

One more word and I can never see you again,

you hear me?

I told Papa that all this research

that you left the Yeshiva for

was one big mistake.

I'm a researcher

and this is my life.

If you care about your life get married.

and build a home.

Forget all this nonsense.

You've ruined your life,

you won't ruin ours.

What about Mom?

What a blasphemy.

Are you worried about her or your own reputation?

You'd let everyone know?

I have 32 grandchildren, five families, God bless them,

you won't turn them into goyim.

They're already goyim! You're a goy!

No more lies! -Let go!

If you talk, you think mom will let you stay?

Where will you go?

Who'll be your family? The institute?!

You're barely a father to your son.

Without us you're nothing!

And your ex,

what'll she do when she hears?

You'll never see Yonatan again.

Again, Yonatan.

"And it came to pass. That the king of Egypt died"

-Come here.

What's this?

Revi'i.

Revi'i.

Again. -Revi'i.

"Came to pass."

Good. Go on.

"And it came to pass..."

It's very nice here.

Feels like a real home.

I was told your father Shimon Farkash died.

We're investigating a massacre in his work camp.

We want to know what he told you.

Actually, I was hoping you could tell me,

he didn't talk about it.

I have something here.

This is all he kept from the war.

The truth is we don't know much.

He was born in Hungary,

he was in the work camp in Lendsdorf, Austria...

Injured while escaping... -He told us he was in Russia.

We didn't even know he survived the Holocaust.

He said he spent the war in a work camp in Russia

A foreigner came to his funeral

who said he was in the camp with him.

We didn't know him.

I remember telling my husband, "That man doesn't look Russian."

What did he look like?

Sort of German.

Do you remember his name?

I have no idea.

What else can you tell me about my father?

Nothing.

I was hoping you'd tell me.

I'm sorry.

Find anything?

Weisemburg.

A sketch of the death march in Austria.

If this one doesn't work out we're in trouble.

You realize what that means.

Just don't mention her brother Avraham.

Why not?

She feels guilty he died.

She swore to take care of him.

In the testimony you gave 40 years ago

you mentioned you were in Lendsdorf, remember? -Of course.

You had heard the screams of Jews being murdered on Easter.

Yes, of course.

This is the castle, the Palatz.

Do you remember which direction the screams came from?

They were in a field.

Which field?

Here. -Here?

Yes, the field.

There were trees here.

Trees. -Yes.

There were trees in the field? -Yes, trees.

They killed a lot of sick Jews.

Then the Nazis came with a truck,

with sticks,

and pushed them into the pit.

Where did that happen?

It happened there, I was with Avreimele.

I was with Avreimele.

Leah. -Yes?

Did you see the massacre?

Of course.

Where were you? -I was there, there were trees.

Where were you when you saw the massacre?

There, with Avreimele. -No...

He was in Auschwitz. Where were you during the massacre?

Auschwitz?

They sent Avreimele to Auschwitz? Why?

I wanted him to come with me.

Where were you when you saw the massacre?

Here!

Here? -Here.

Right here? -Yes, here!

You were on the spot?

Where were you? -They killed...

They killed Avreimele...

Where did you see the massacre?

They took Avreimele from me, I was watching him.

It's Ok, It's all over now.

It's over... Why?

I know what happened. -That was just fine, Leah.

Why is it over?...why...

Mom...

He's good. -Who?

That fellah.

Give this to the waiter.

I already paid.

Then take it for Yonatan. -I don't need money.

Mom...

Do you recognize this picture?

This is Shoshana Weinstein, recognize her?

Do you recognize this woman?

This is Papa.

This is his wedding.

This is Fanya Halberstam,

his wife.

Mom.

Mom!

"Hear, O Israel,

"the Lord is our God, the Lord is one."

Congratulations!

Congratulations, Yoel.

What's going on?

Yoel, this is your new office. Congratulations.

Where are my files?

Don't worry, they'll bring them.

Look.

Dr. Yoel Halberstam,

senior researcher at the Jerusalem Holocaust Institute,

is fighting against Holocaust denial today,

but it's not his rhetoric that sets him apart...

Man's tendency is to forget.

My role as an observant Jew is to remember.

Dr. Halberstam stands out for his religious conscience,

his vast knowledge, and his relentless quest for the truth.

We visited Dr. Halberstam in his office...

Thanks to the excellent item,

the Austrians are under pressure,

they're offering to settle.

Cheers. -Cheers.

Yoel, we couldn't leave you in that cage.

You need a presentable office

What are they offering?

They're offering a museum.

They admit that 200 were massacred?

Dozens.

Construction will continue?

The museum will be built on the plot.

What about the grave?

What do you suggest?

Finding the grave.

Yoel, even if you do find evidence

you won't find the grave. We know that.

What did we fight for?

To preserve the memory of the Holocaust,

and that's what a museum will do.

no one will say there was no massacre in Lendsdorf.

Yoel,

we couldn't have asked for more.

You won.

Yoel.

I would like to open our second session

on the matter of the development in Lendsdorf.

Thank you.

We've received no new evidence?

That's correct.

I understand you're negotiating an agreement.

Yes, we are.

We believe we have a new evidence.

Is this an assumption or a fact?

Fact.

Then why haven't you submitted it?

These are classified testimonies,

we need to work it out with the survivors.

This is unacceptable, sir.

You can't keep us waiting if you haven't submitted any new evidence.

Yoel.

We would like to reexamine our... agreement

since we got some new facts... -According to the law

you don't have the authority to require an immediate submission

of the classified documents.

Even if acting under the Hague Convention

you must submit a special request to see classified documents.

When will you submit all the new evidence.

In two weeks.

Are you aware of the fact that if it turns out

that you do not have the required evidence,

the other party is entitled to press charges?

We cannot accept... -Yes.

I give you one week to submit all new evidence.

This meeting is adjourned.

They have no authority over the classifieds. None.

Mickey give us a minute.

Was that about the classified testimony you requested?

Why didn't you discuss it with me?

Did you settle for a monument?

I hope you know what you're doing.

You're opening us to a million dollar lawsuit.

I'm handling this investigation.

If there are developments- I'll let you know.

No news.

It doesn't match,

the Red Army mentions 8 corpses,

we're talking about 200,

They mention men only, we have also women.

Only men?

Where's the original?

When did you get this? -Just now,

from the Red Army archives.

Yes. Men.

Right.

He also mentions the witness.

Heller, who didn't show up to testify.

No, it says he refused to appear.

That's not what it says in English.

In Russian it says "refused".

So?

Do you get it?

There's a witness. -They're talking about Heller.

Heller didn't refuse to appear, he came in and was murdered.

Look, This document is from September.

Heller was killed back in April. -So?

There was another witness. Get me the records from '47.

Let me see

August '47, a public summons for witnesses,

and nobody shows up.

The Russians knew of another witness

but he escaped,

so they wouldn't force him.

He must have heard Heller was murdered,

so what did he do? -What did he do?

He changed his name.

Check Sternberger, Rothenberg,

Friedman, Unger and Brody

with listings in Austria, Hungary and Germany.

I'm on it. -Wait, give me that.

Who are they?

So they don't know who we're looking for.

and get to him first.

Stepha Bajek.

Tell me about her.

She's irrelevant.

Our key witness? Irrelevant?

The classified testimony we're supposed to submit.

Are you out of your mind?

Using your job to get personal information,

Thet's what you are doing.

I'm not Jewish.

What?

Stepha Bajek is my mother.

Your mother?

That's a reason to put us at risk?

Do you think anyone cares?

When you came to work here

with your black suit and hat, Did I care?

I gave you a job

and I didn't care who you were. or your mother is.

Let me tell you, Yoel,

nobody gives a damn,

that you think you were sent by God.

"And Moses said to God:

"When I go to the Israelites...

"When I go to the Israelites..."

"And tell them..."

"And tell them: The God of your fathers sent me,

"and they ask me: What is His name?" -"And they ask me..."

"And they ask me..." -"And they ask me..."

"And they ask me: What is His name, what shall I tell them?"

Did you work on it?

Yes.

Are you lying, Yonatan? -No.

Open the book.

Open the book and read.

But Dad... -Read!

"And Moses said to God:

"When I go..."

Continue.

"When I go to the Israelites

"and say to them..."

Go on.

You'll learn your Bar Mitzvah properly, you hear?

Pick it up. It's a holy book.

Now!

Yes, please?

Yes, this is Dr. Halberstam.

Yes. We only asked for 15 names.

Sir, those are our records from '45.

There are thousands of names here without the original names.

We don't have the original names on our list.

Are you saying the list hasn't been computerized?

Apparently not.

How am I supposed to go through all these names by next week?

This is inhuman.

Sorry, that's all I can...

It's inhuman. Inhuman!

That's all I... -Thanks.

Come sit down.

Yonatan, I'm sorry about yesterday.

I didn't study well.

Why not?

I neglected my work.

You're a good boy, Yonatan.

You'll have a beautiful Bar Mitzvah.

Have a good Shabat! - You too.

Hello?

The witness is here

What about Bach?

Burm!

My father got letters from him.

With his name on the envelope. -Are you sure?

Burm, Herman.

Hello?

Mr. Burm?

Yes?

I'm Shimon Farkash's daughter.

You know him?

No.

I saw you in my father's funeral, remember?

No.

Mr. Burm,

you were the only person that knew him from the war.

Can I ask you a question?

What do you want?

Where you with him in Lendsdorf?

Yes.

Good morning. -Good morning.

Halberstam? -yes

Where is Mr. Burm?

Where is Mr. Burm?

Give him to me.

Hello?

Halberstam? -Mr. Burm, where are you?

That's the grave,

1,247 steps north of the church.

In the forest?

Did you think Podezin would kill 200 people in a field

with the Russians so close?

He destroyed all the evidence.

What evidence?

The men who dug the grave and the documents.

Where did he destroy the documents?

Where you're standing.

Kluger destroyed them. -Aryeh Leib Kluger?

Podezin ordered him to destroy them.

Mr. Burm, you have to testify.

Dig, Halberstam, dig.

Mr. Burm, there's nothing here.

You didn't dig well enough.

You're my only witness,

I need you to testify!

Do you think the moment the war ended

they just stop hating us?

The war isn't over, they're the same people,

and we have to survive, Halberstam.

I'm a family man. I want to live.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom.

Fanya, daughter of Miriam,

may you speak in favor

of your children and all Jews.

Go in peace and rest in peace.

May you be redeemed in the end of days.

Your suffering is over.

What happened to you?

Did the witness forget the location?

He counted 1,247 steps north of the church but it wasn't there.

1,247 steps north of the church isn't in the southern field.

"8 men's corpses in the southern field." Was he lying?

Burm said the grave is on the tree-line north of the church.

North of the church...

In '45 the tree-line was closer to the church,

you dug in the wrong place.

He counted from the church. - it doesn't make sense,

what about the corpses the Russians found?

What did the Russian say?

Only men. -Eight men's corpses.

But we know there were women, too.

Maybe the Russians only happened to find the men.

Two cases. -What?

The Russians found eight corpses.

We assumed they didn't dig well

and more Jews were buried nearby. -So?

What if we're wrong and that's all there was?

We got it wrong.

There were two massacres.

Podezin kills the 200

in the forest,

brings ten men to cover the bodies,

then kills them here, in the southern field.

How do you prove it? No grave, no papers.

No papers...

Kluger burned them.

Kluger?

The prayer-book.

The Russians bombed the village, right?

I remember reading they bombed the village.

Where's the prayer-book?

Where's the prayer-book? -What prayer-book?

Yehoshua's prayer-book. -In the top drawer.

Yoel, take a look.

I understand the parties have finally reached an agreement.

Madame, I want to point out

that the agreement we've reached is based on the Austrians'

official recognition of the Lendsdorf massacre.

We certainly acknowledge the possibility

that an atrocious massacre of that kind could have taken place.

Yoel?

Madame,

I have the evidence needed to confirm

the exact location of the massacre.

And who are you, sir?

Dr. Halberstam.

Excuse me, I didn't recognize you.

These are the names of the Jews who were massacred in Lendsdorf.

These people were sent from Koszeg to Lendsdorf

on the 24th of March, 1945.

After that, all trace of them was lost.

This testifies to the identity of the victims.

It is signed by Podezin, the local Gestapo officer.

What is the source of the document?

This document

was found in a prayer-book given to me

by this survivor.

Go ahead, tell them.

My name is Yehoshua Rothenberg

from the work camp in Lendsdorf.

My good friend Aryeh Leib Kluger

stole paper and wrote his prayers on it.

I wasn't aware

that on the other side of the pages

the names of the victims were listed.

This Kluger was sent to dig a mass grave

and stole various documents that Podezin intended to burn.

The Russian forces were only 10 km away

and Podezin wanted to cover up the massacre.

He picked a group of ten men

out of the Jewish forced labor in Lendsdorf

and they were sent to dig a mass grave in the forest north of the church.

Aryeh Leib Kluger, Josef Heller and Herman Burm were in this group.

What about the bones in the southern field?

The victims were not buried in the southern field.

Once the massacre was over in the forest,

these ten men were sent to cover the corpses.

That's when Burm and Heller escaped.

The remaining eight were taken to the southern field

where they were murdered.

The Nazis hardly bothered to cover the bodies.

Those were the eight bodies the Russian investigator testifies to in Appendix B,

and that's why we could not find the 200 there.

the question remains, where is the mass grave?

We know you didn't find it.

These are all false allegations, no more.

This is the southern field.

This is the location of the mass grave.

Mr. Burm knew that the grave was located

1,247 steps north of the church.

What he didn't know was that the church was bombed at the end of the war

and rebuilt in a different location.

We've been digging in the wrong place.

This is the grave's actual location.

I will review your claims and reach a decision.

This meeting is adjourned.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you, Yoel.

Stop!

On the day after the wedding

they took us to the gas chambers.

One woman screams

and I'm at peace.

I wasn't afraid to die.

I close my eyes

and suddenly I hear...

banging on metal pipes.

And I think,

this is what death sounds like...

Then suddenly...

I hear shouting,

a lot of shouting,

and I open my eyes

and see Germans throwing us out of the gas chamber.

You understand?

The gas wouldn't come out.

Two days later the Americans came, liberated the camp,

then Yosef Yitzhak came and said, "Come, you're my wife."

I wanted to tell him, "I'm a goy"

but he said, "We're a match made in heaven."
