1
00:00:31,363 --> 00:00:35,273
BEYOND THE ASHES
2
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,800
Based on true facts
3
00:01:45,311 --> 00:01:46,902
Gisella Perl?
4
00:01:47,330 --> 00:01:49,660
I'm Dr. Gisella Perl.
5
00:01:51,156 --> 00:01:53,282
I know, a very famous doctor,
6
00:01:53,390 --> 00:01:55,675
-My mother told me everything about you.
-Yes, did you tell me?
7
00:01:55,758 --> 00:01:59,588
Yes, you said you were a lady
remarkable, and a fantastic doctor.
8
00:02:01,681 --> 00:02:03,747
Come. Come.
9
00:02:11,692 --> 00:02:12,525
Three weeks.
10
00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:14,023
At most.
11
00:02:15,709 --> 00:02:19,018
Yes. Three weeks. It was exactly
what my doctor told me.
12
00:02:19,102 --> 00:02:20,626
Great. What is it called?
13
00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:22,452
Didi. Didi Goldstein.
14
00:02:22,536 --> 00:02:24,826
Didi Goldstein? Very well,
15
00:02:24,910 --> 00:02:27,737
Wait beyond for me. Yes?
I need to eat something.
16
00:02:27,821 --> 00:02:29,719
I will... I will.
17
00:02:32,546 --> 00:02:33,428
Taxi!
18
00:02:36,068 --> 00:02:38,301
Oh, my God!
19
00:02:38,385 --> 00:02:40,915
Did you know that your Aunt Rachel
was my patient in Sighet?
20
00:02:40,999 --> 00:02:43,618
Yes. I never met her. Not yet.
21
00:02:43,702 --> 00:02:46,353
Let's hope she arrives soon.
22
00:02:47,478 --> 00:02:49,239
Here are some more.
23
00:02:52,438 --> 00:02:55,861
Look at these shoes.
24
00:02:57,915 --> 00:03:01,267
Who uses this?
Not a lady.
25
00:03:01,350 --> 00:03:03,834
A maid perhaps, Come.
Not a lady.
26
00:03:03,917 --> 00:03:06,246
Haven't seen enough shoes yet?
27
00:03:06,329 --> 00:03:08,730
No, no, no.
I want to see another one before buying.
28
00:03:14,795 --> 00:03:17,313
My dear lady. What do you think?
29
00:03:17,397 --> 00:03:19,055
Oh yes!
30
00:03:19,139 --> 00:03:22,111
These, these please me.
31
00:03:22,195 --> 00:03:24,046
They're very expensive, Dr. Perl.
32
00:03:24,130 --> 00:03:25,896
In Sighet he always wore the best.
33
00:03:25,980 --> 00:03:28,565
We had splendid things,
what do you think? Beautiful!
34
00:03:28,727 --> 00:03:32,012
Oh! Beauty, you can't imagine beauty.
35
00:03:32,096 --> 00:03:33,780
But we're in New York, not Sighet.
36
00:03:33,863 --> 00:03:36,557
So stop looking
Let's enjoy the beauty here.
37
00:03:36,641 --> 00:03:39,594
Oh, no... These...
those are anything.
38
00:03:39,678 --> 00:03:42,359
These... oh, my God!
39
00:03:44,030 --> 00:03:47,690
Giska, stop looking at your shoes!
40
00:03:47,869 --> 00:03:49,487
Giska, did you hear me?
41
00:03:49,570 --> 00:03:52,387
Stop looking at your shoes and go
get the candles for Shabbat!
42
00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:54,301
Yes, Mommy.
43
00:03:57,070 --> 00:03:59,337
"Blessed are You, O Lord, Adonai,
King of the Universe, who sanctified us..."
44
00:03:59,420 --> 00:04:02,558
"With Thy Commandments, and commanded us
light the holy Shabbat candles."
45
00:04:02,641 --> 00:04:04,631
-Amen.
-Amen.
46
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:12,805
Pap�? Daddy, I want to be a doctor.
47
00:04:13,346 --> 00:04:17,210
-Cilla, help your mother with the soup.
-Yes, daddy.
48
00:04:17,631 --> 00:04:20,419
Daddy, did you hear?
She said she wanted to be a doctor.
49
00:04:20,591 --> 00:04:26,426
-Daddy, I want to go to University in Cluj.
-I think it's a very good idea, Giska.
50
00:04:27,049 --> 00:04:30,108
-Moshe! The only girl, and the only Jew.
-A doctor?
51
00:04:30,191 --> 00:04:33,941
You won't be the only Giska.
I also want to be a doctor.
52
00:04:35,790 --> 00:04:40,227
It's not enough that you graduated
in a single year, and be the best in your class?
53
00:04:40,311 --> 00:04:43,771
Giska!
Not enough?
54
00:04:44,376 --> 00:04:48,365
No, Daddy. It's not enough.
55
00:04:48,449 --> 00:04:52,744
Dr. Perl? Dr. Perl.
56
00:04:52,796 --> 00:04:53,799
Yes.
57
00:04:53,883 --> 00:04:55,098
The shoes!
58
00:04:58,851 --> 00:05:01,065
They're beautiful.
59
00:05:01,224 --> 00:05:03,344
Let's take them.
60
00:05:05,131 --> 00:05:10,789
I was supposed to go get her, and bring her. No
accompany her on an expedition through the stores.
61
00:05:11,431 --> 00:05:15,788
In Sighet Dr. Perl used to
have things your way.
62
00:05:15,951 --> 00:05:18,788
I know. It's her way.
She caught me off guard
63
00:05:18,871 --> 00:05:24,842
Listen, Didi. After what she went through, we have
to help her. In the best way we can.
64
00:05:24,925 --> 00:05:30,526
I know Pap�. I know, but look at those
new shoes. He doesn't even have a decent dress.
65
00:05:30,609 --> 00:05:32,232
Right...
66
00:05:34,437 --> 00:05:36,942
Sarah, what's going on?
67
00:05:37,945 --> 00:05:45,091
Rachel. My dear sister.
Rachel, Rachel, died.
68
00:05:45,497 --> 00:05:48,853
Giska, I found Rachel.
69
00:05:52,235 --> 00:05:56,274
-Rachel, are you going on our train?
-Yes.
70
00:05:56,358 --> 00:05:59,590
-I'll look after your mother, don't worry.
-Gisella?
71
00:06:06,111 --> 00:06:11,469
When Rachel...
When she died...
72
00:06:12,911 --> 00:06:16,062
When Rachel died, yes...
73
00:06:16,231 --> 00:06:18,665
Was she alone?
74
00:06:21,911 --> 00:06:28,031
Dr. Perl, I will look after your mother.
Don't worry.
75
00:06:29,097 --> 00:06:30,040
No!
76
00:06:32,636 --> 00:06:34,873
This gave me food for thought.
77
00:06:34,957 --> 00:06:40,866
I think it's better if someone was
with her. That someone was by your side.
78
00:06:41,571 --> 00:06:47,741
-Are you sure about this?
-Yes, I know I was.
79
00:06:50,709 --> 00:06:51,709
Yes.
80
00:06:52,751 --> 00:06:54,582
That's good.
81
00:06:54,665 --> 00:06:55,582
Yes.
82
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,338
MANHATTAN
GENERAL HOSPITAL
83
00:06:58,421 --> 00:07:01,668
-I have to go back to work.
-I have to do this, Daddy.
84
00:07:01,751 --> 00:07:05,709
Stop Giska!
Are there no more doctors in the world?
85
00:07:05,871 --> 00:07:09,025
There are no women doctors in Sighet.
-And you want to be the first?
86
00:07:09,164 --> 00:07:11,750
And there are no gynecologists.
87
00:07:11,991 --> 00:07:16,982
I don't want you to lose your faith. I don't want
that you leave faith to which you obey, Judaism
88
00:07:17,065 --> 00:07:19,148
-No, Daddy, I won't abandon...
-No, you are my oldest daughter.
89
00:07:19,231 --> 00:07:20,780
My dear girl.
90
00:07:20,951 --> 00:07:23,634
You must get married and have children and be a
good observant Jew. Be humble.
91
00:07:25,971 --> 00:07:29,160
I can get married,
and be a good, observant Jew,
92
00:07:29,244 --> 00:07:31,565
And being a mother, and being a doctor.
93
00:07:31,649 --> 00:07:34,525
Gives life like a mother.
That should be enough.
94
00:07:34,625 --> 00:07:37,829
Giving lives as a mother,
and save lives as a doctor.
95
00:07:38,305 --> 00:07:42,341
He doesn't understand. Pap�?
I could be very, very important.
96
00:07:46,031 --> 00:07:49,907
-Why does it have to be you?
-Who else could it be?
97
00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:52,990
You can't be, at least for once,
be like other girls?
98
00:07:53,151 --> 00:08:00,151
-Daddy, I'm going to make you proud.
-My daughter, I already have it.
99
00:08:00,511 --> 00:08:03,390
Then I will make you prouder.
See this book.
100
00:08:03,551 --> 00:08:08,386
-Yes, I remember.
-I swear, Daddy. I swear on this book:
101
00:08:08,551 --> 00:08:14,341
Wherever I go, wherever life
take me, and under any circumstances...
102
00:08:14,511 --> 00:08:19,775
I always... always,
I will remain, a good, faithful Jew.
103
00:08:20,311 --> 00:08:25,226
Dr. Perl? Dr. Gisella Perl?
104
00:08:25,858 --> 00:08:28,226
-Dr. Perl?
-Yes!
105
00:08:28,823 --> 00:08:34,598
Hello. I'm Esther Jacob from
American Committee of the Jewish Relief Board.
106
00:08:34,681 --> 00:08:37,026
Hello. We met in Paris, there
a few months...
107
00:08:37,109 --> 00:08:39,027
-And I got his ticket.
-Ah! And he got me the ticket.
108
00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:40,371
I remember.
109
00:08:40,474 --> 00:08:42,787
-Fine! Let's go?
-Yes.
110
00:08:46,540 --> 00:08:49,428
-Sorry Esther, but...
-Yes.
111
00:08:49,511 --> 00:08:53,328
I need to work as a doctor again.
112
00:08:53,411 --> 00:08:58,506
It will definitely go. Go work.
Let's sort this out, are you okay?
113
00:08:58,671 --> 00:09:02,701
You don't understand.
If I can't work...
114
00:09:02,965 --> 00:09:04,956
I can't live.
115
00:09:05,791 --> 00:09:10,002
What you have to understand, Dr. Perl,
It's just that to work in this country...
116
00:09:10,102 --> 00:09:12,080
you need to ask first
American citizenship.
117
00:09:14,483 --> 00:09:16,687
-Oh yes!
-For sure.
118
00:09:17,551 --> 00:09:20,657
You also have to pass our exams
Medical commission. And I don't think you...
119
00:09:20,752 --> 00:09:23,166
- meet this requirement...
-Sorry, Doctor, but I'm sure you understand...
120
00:09:23,151 --> 00:09:27,513
Dr. Perl is looking for your temporary visa.
We apply for citizenship.
121
00:09:27,596 --> 00:09:31,378
-Congressman Bloom...
-And Eleanor Roosevelt...
122
00:09:31,461 --> 00:09:34,387
at the request of Eleanor Roosevelt,
has already set all this in motion.
123
00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:39,581
Well, it's very good. So maybe we can
move with things faster, here.
124
00:09:40,751 --> 00:09:43,424
-�great.
-Do you have any of your diplomas here?
125
00:09:43,591 --> 00:09:49,506
My diplomas, Doctor? I would like
Do I know where my diplomas are?
126
00:09:54,511 --> 00:09:56,823
Me too.
Me too.
127
00:09:56,906 --> 00:09:59,811
For now I do this.
All good. All good.
128
00:10:11,456 --> 00:10:14,859
So this is what it has
to be for some time.
129
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:17,733
It's fine. It's fine.
130
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:21,209
-How's it going?
-Run?
131
00:10:22,111 --> 00:10:24,547
The studies. For exams?
132
00:10:25,711 --> 00:10:27,225
Like this, like this.
133
00:10:28,391 --> 00:10:31,447
You know, I have to say this.
You Americans are...
134
00:10:31,530 --> 00:10:35,261
far away, behind the Europeans,
in medical advances.
135
00:10:35,431 --> 00:10:37,668
I'm very sorry, but long ago.
136
00:10:37,751 --> 00:10:42,346
You must have been a devil
of medicine there in Hungary.
137
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:51,311
-Was that something you heard?
-No, but I imagine it was.
138
00:10:54,071 --> 00:10:55,220
Then.
139
00:10:55,303 --> 00:10:59,056
"I will keep pure and holy,
both, my life and my heart."
140
00:10:59,241 --> 00:11:03,934
What was I.
What I was.
141
00:11:04,029 --> 00:11:09,935
"And I will avoid all evil practices
that may be harmful."
142
00:11:10,111 --> 00:11:16,659
"But if he transgresses them, through bad practice
Mine, then, let the opposite fall upon me."
143
00:11:29,671 --> 00:11:31,072
Isn't it wonderful?
144
00:11:30,026 --> 00:11:32,465
Mazel tov!
145
00:11:45,011 --> 00:11:47,382
-Mommy!
-Imre?
146
00:11:47,465 --> 00:11:51,465
-Imre, what is it?
-The lightning will enter the house.
147
00:11:54,151 --> 00:11:57,302
Come to Mommy. he comes. He comes!
Come here!
148
00:11:57,471 --> 00:12:01,864
The lightning doesn't hurt you, my love.
It will stay outside where it belongs.
149
00:12:02,031 --> 00:12:07,264
Oh, my God, Imre, silence.
Close your eyes. Don't look, okay?
150
00:12:07,712 --> 00:12:09,348
Don't look. That's right.
151
00:12:09,431 --> 00:12:13,629
Oh, I'll sing for you,
and so you don't hear the thunder, yes?
152
00:12:13,829 --> 00:12:15,786
That's right. It's okay.
153
00:12:18,694 --> 00:12:20,258
Oh, my dear.
154
00:12:41,491 --> 00:12:47,450
And now, one of my personal favorites,
By Strauss, the waltz "Blue Danube".
155
00:13:28,231 --> 00:13:31,410
He squeezes my finger tightly.
They keep it really tight.
156
00:13:33,271 --> 00:13:38,478
Let's toast to a happy and healthy
Baby Jacob. Our baby.
157
00:13:38,883 --> 00:13:40,528
-L'Chaim!
-L'Chaim!
158
00:13:41,991 --> 00:13:48,544
-Gisella, Let's go. Join us, a L'Chaim, for the baby.
-For sure. L'Chaim for Jacob, yes.
159
00:13:49,336 --> 00:13:50,663
L'Chaim!
160
00:13:50,811 --> 00:13:54,468
But you know, Didi,
a cesarean section was not necessary.
161
00:13:54,551 --> 00:13:57,230
It could be completely avoided.
162
00:13:57,630 --> 00:13:59,255
If I were there, there wouldn't be
problems. No problem.
163
00:13:59,311 --> 00:14:03,677
-That might not have been allowed...
-It wasn't my decision, Mico tried...
164
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:08,200
-You will deliver our next child.
-And the next one, and the other one after that...
165
00:14:08,283 --> 00:14:12,717
I think... I think it's not correct. Wash
test tubes for people without capacity...
166
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,262
while others decide whether I can or cannot
work, oh! It's not right. And you know that.
167
00:14:17,431 --> 00:14:20,175
-You, and everyone knows it.
-Esther! Esther!
168
00:14:20,258 --> 00:14:21,748
But what exams are these?
169
00:14:21,831 --> 00:14:25,904
Things I learned in Cluj,
25 years ago, as a girl.
170
00:14:27,361 --> 00:14:29,911
Excuse me! Excuse me!
171
00:14:38,543 --> 00:14:42,980
-I'm Dr. Rubens. Gisella Perl, has anyone seen her?
-I'm Dr. Perl.
172
00:14:43,451 --> 00:14:45,130
-I need help, please.
-What is it?
173
00:14:45,213 --> 00:14:47,626
It's an emergency.
Please, please.
174
00:14:47,991 --> 00:14:51,178
I'm an oncologist. My wife is in
labor, the obstetricians are busy.
175
00:14:51,261 --> 00:14:53,128
They called a surgeon, but I don't know...
176
00:14:53,211 --> 00:14:55,586
The baby is trapped.
But I don't want them to operate on her.
177
00:14:55,669 --> 00:14:58,188
I understand.
Did the anesthesiologist medicate you?
178
00:14:58,271 --> 00:15:01,350
No. Not yet. Esther Jacob
told me about you last week.
179
00:15:01,511 --> 00:15:07,660
I trust her. My father was
gynecologist in Cluj. Andrew Abrams.
180
00:15:07,743 --> 00:15:09,591
Is Dr. Abrams here?
He could help me with my papers.
181
00:15:09,674 --> 00:15:12,747
Unfortunately he didn't survive. I'm sorry.
Please come.
182
00:15:12,911 --> 00:15:16,138
-Is your wife also Hungarian?
-Yes. Her name is Eve.
183
00:15:16,221 --> 00:15:17,221
Eve.
184
00:15:17,391 --> 00:15:19,744
-Pass me some disinfectant.
-Immediately, Doctor.
185
00:15:20,431 --> 00:15:23,585
-Give him a coat, please.
-Here you go.
186
00:15:24,585 --> 00:15:26,585
-Calm down.
-What is she doing here?
187
00:15:27,391 --> 00:15:29,542
She is an expert.
Dr. Gisella Perl.
188
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,720
She can still work.
He hasn't taken the Bar exams yet.
189
00:15:32,991 --> 00:15:37,826
It will be present, and will not operate unless
that she thinks it is absolutely necessary.
190
00:15:40,250 --> 00:15:48,151
Eva is my wife. Now please
Step aside and give Dr. Perl some space.
191
00:15:48,490 --> 00:15:55,490
-Okay, okay, do it your way.
-Eva, I'm Dr. Perl.
192
00:15:56,751 --> 00:16:03,099
Now, let's breathe quickly, and don't force it
do you understand? We're fine now. I'm with you.
193
00:16:03,251 --> 00:16:07,140
-How long have you been having contractions? How long?
-18 hours.
194
00:16:07,224 --> 00:16:10,860
-How has she endured this?
-He's been at full effort for an entire hour.
195
00:16:10,944 --> 00:16:12,923
-What is the position?
-Front.
196
00:16:13,031 --> 00:16:17,821
Eva, listen to me. Listen.
Very good. Fast breathing. Quick.
197
00:16:17,904 --> 00:16:21,027
I'll examine her, and then turn the baby over.
But I won't hurt the baby, okay?
198
00:16:21,191 --> 00:16:25,948
Very good. Fast breathing.
Very good. Good. Good.
199
00:16:26,031 --> 00:16:30,661
God, help me. Today I have
to bring this life into the world.
200
00:16:36,791 --> 00:16:40,667
-It's so beautiful!
-You... you are our savior.
201
00:16:40,750 --> 00:16:42,828
-Congratulations, Papá.
-Thanks. Thanks.
202
00:16:42,911 --> 00:16:44,708
If the baby was a girl
gave him his name.
203
00:16:44,791 --> 00:16:47,993
That's what I usually ask for
to all my patients.
204
00:16:48,077 --> 00:16:51,792
-God bless you, Dr. Perl.
-Call me Giska, all my good friends do.
205
00:16:51,876 --> 00:16:52,876
They did.
206
00:16:53,604 --> 00:16:55,408
-You will be rewarded for this.
-No, no, no.
207
00:16:55,492 --> 00:16:58,984
We were both rewarded in a way.
You can't reward me more.
208
00:17:12,991 --> 00:17:16,920
-Welcome, ma'am. Careful.
-Ah! Didi, this is perfect.
209
00:17:17,004 --> 00:17:23,715
I can see patients on the first floor, and
live in the second, just as he did in Sighet.
210
00:17:23,799 --> 00:17:26,154
Sighet, Sighet, Sighet...
211
00:17:28,451 --> 00:17:34,683
Yes. Yes. Didi, this is wonderful.
212
00:17:35,107 --> 00:17:39,493
He delivered this baby, so he could give
this furnished apartment in Central Park?
213
00:17:39,577 --> 00:17:42,769
-Yes, I told him I preferred Manhattan.
-Instead of what?
214
00:17:42,853 --> 00:17:47,372
-Queens, where do Michael and I live?
-I told you what was right to do, Didi,
215
00:17:47,468 --> 00:17:48,923
to repay me.
216
00:17:49,007 --> 00:17:51,940
But don't you think that's a little excessive?
217
00:17:52,024 --> 00:17:58,259
He trusted me.
And, I saved his son, so...
218
00:17:58,351 --> 00:18:03,458
You know, a son is a great gift, Didi.
The greatest gift. A sacred gift.
219
00:18:03,542 --> 00:18:05,729
And be able to be in position
to make this happen...
220
00:18:06,216 --> 00:18:08,358
-This is empty.
-What?
221
00:18:08,441 --> 00:18:12,020
-Your bags, there's nothing inside.
-Very well, I have nothing.
222
00:18:12,191 --> 00:18:16,707
-Then why did you bring them?
-Don't you think I can fill it...
223
00:18:18,312 --> 00:18:23,941
Well, I have to go.
I have to take care of my baby.
224
00:18:24,111 --> 00:18:27,052
-Give that beautiful baby a kiss from me, will you?
-Okay.
225
00:18:58,671 --> 00:19:00,468
Dr. Perl.
226
00:19:02,631 --> 00:19:05,065
Doctor, please.
227
00:19:12,991 --> 00:19:16,225
Between. Quick. Quick.
228
00:19:16,309 --> 00:19:26,071
Come. I already held her.
Come, come. Take it easy.
229
00:19:26,224 --> 00:19:27,384
Poor thing.
230
00:19:28,071 --> 00:19:32,220
Shhh, Elizabeth.
You don't know the new times.
231
00:19:33,191 --> 00:19:35,458
I had already heard about you. I'm not
Jewish, but I didn't know where else to go.
232
00:19:35,471 --> 00:19:38,706
Came to me. I'm very
satisfied. Oh, sorry, sorry.
233
00:19:38,790 --> 00:19:42,545
But do you know?
I should talk to your parents.
234
00:19:42,711 --> 00:19:47,588
My parents died.
I live with my uncle.
235
00:19:47,671 --> 00:19:51,550
He makes me work.
I can't go to school.
236
00:19:52,401 --> 00:19:53,752
Was he the one who did this?
237
00:19:55,148 --> 00:19:56,974
Oh my God!
238
00:19:58,593 --> 00:20:04,907
Every night he gets drunk. He comes
right to me and I always fight with him.
239
00:20:05,071 --> 00:20:11,467
I always fight. But today, when
I went to the barn, he, he...
240
00:20:11,951 --> 00:20:14,523
I don't want to go back.
I would rather die.
241
00:20:14,607 --> 00:20:18,480
You will not die, my dear girl.
And you won't go back to him either.
242
00:20:18,511 --> 00:20:25,511
No. You will stay here with us. We have a lot of space.
And go back to school. Now, come, come.
243
00:20:25,911 --> 00:20:30,541
-I can work. I work a lot.
-Calm down now, calm down.
244
00:20:30,711 --> 00:20:35,436
I'll take her inside and lay her down, okay?
Need to rest. You need to sleep.
245
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,705
Thank you, doctor.
246
00:20:54,711 --> 00:20:58,670
Giska? Are you? Giska?
247
00:20:58,831 --> 00:21:00,923
-Yes.
-� Jonas Rubens.
248
00:21:01,007 --> 00:21:02,625
I hope I'm not bothering her.
249
00:21:02,671 --> 00:21:07,620
Doctor Ruben, this apartment is so beautiful.
I'll pay you so quickly...
250
00:21:07,791 --> 00:21:10,052
Don't worry, don't worry.
I'm glad you like it.
251
00:21:10,135 --> 00:21:12,148
Listen, I want to be the first to tell you.
252
00:21:12,231 --> 00:21:14,462
You passed the final exam.
253
00:21:17,631 --> 00:21:20,828
-Giska, are you there?
-Yes, Dr. Rubens.
254
00:21:20,991 --> 00:21:22,102
Jonas, please.
255
00:21:22,185 --> 00:21:24,902
Listen you should start to...
256
00:21:24,985 --> 00:21:26,082
work as soon as you have
your approved citizenship.
257
00:21:26,165 --> 00:21:32,085
Yes, but since you mention it I ask,
Is there something there, some kind of problem?
258
00:21:32,168 --> 00:21:34,978
It seems to be taking so long.
259
00:21:35,061 --> 00:21:36,188
Be patient Gisketa,
260
00:21:36,271 --> 00:21:39,841
Lots of formalities, just paperwork.
Nothing to worry about.
261
00:21:40,011 --> 00:21:41,109
Yes? Nothing?
262
00:21:41,192 --> 00:21:43,583
Nothing, I promise.
263
00:21:45,111 --> 00:21:48,268
So it's very good news.
Thank you, Dr. Rubens.
264
00:21:48,351 --> 00:21:53,125
-Jonas.
-Jonas. I am very grateful to you. Thanks.
265
00:22:41,031 --> 00:22:45,870
The salon cannot continue without you,
my love. Your audience awaits you.
266
00:22:56,311 --> 00:23:00,294
-So beautiful!
-Welcome Mom.
267
00:23:00,378 --> 00:23:04,597
It's about time!
Where have you been?
268
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,083
-Ah! A doctor's work is never done.
-Now the poem you wrote.
269
00:23:07,167 --> 00:23:08,995
-Come on with that.
-Yes, it's so beautiful.
270
00:23:09,079 --> 00:23:09,992
No, daddy. Pap�!
271
00:23:10,951 --> 00:23:16,786
Giska, says O�lia's speech,
scene one of the third act.
272
00:23:18,351 --> 00:23:23,744
What a dear brother. My dear David.
He was always a little Shakespeare!
273
00:23:23,911 --> 00:23:27,904
But not for me. For Helen.
The second female doctor in the family.
274
00:23:28,071 --> 00:23:30,460
Enough! Enough!
Too many doctors.
275
00:23:32,493 --> 00:23:39,871
Maybe anything for Rosie or Cilla? Let's go
Cilla. There must be something you want,
276
00:23:40,351 --> 00:23:45,029
Something we both want.
Sing.
277
00:23:47,191 --> 00:23:50,388
-Yes, count on me. Yes?
-Let's sing.
278
00:24:36,431 --> 00:24:40,140
Dr. Perl, I wanted to start by congratulating her
for passing his medical exams.
279
00:24:41,043 --> 00:24:41,876
Yes? Thanks.
280
00:24:43,631 --> 00:24:46,228
INS asked you to come here
today, because there are questions raised...
281
00:24:46,391 --> 00:24:52,511
-about the citizenship application case.
-Can you answer that?
282
00:24:52,671 --> 00:24:56,001
Questions? What kind of questions?
Questions...
283
00:24:56,084 --> 00:24:58,700
-doctors?
-If it's a question of medical competence...
284
00:24:58,783 --> 00:24:59,888
-No! No!
-I assure you...
285
00:24:59,971 --> 00:25:04,348
-Ethical questions, Dr. Perl.
-I don't understand.
286
00:25:04,431 --> 00:25:07,188
Questions about what happened
during the war.
287
00:25:07,271 --> 00:25:10,051
What do you mean, during the war?
During the war, how will I know,
288
00:25:10,134 --> 00:25:15,268
I was in Auschwitz.
Maybe it's not clear in my order.
289
00:25:15,431 --> 00:25:18,264
No, what you did during the war.
290
00:25:18,431 --> 00:25:20,991
It's just bureaucracy.
A formality.
291
00:25:21,151 --> 00:25:24,172
If you can present witnesses, people
that can testify to your character.
292
00:25:24,255 --> 00:25:26,255
Oh! I can testify that...
293
00:25:26,671 --> 00:25:30,710
-Testimonies from the past.
-One minute, please. I... I...
294
00:25:30,871 --> 00:25:35,581
Sorry, but I don't know anyone
de Sighet here in New York right now.
295
00:25:35,751 --> 00:25:42,751
No one who survived. obviously
There are no witnesses who can testify...
296
00:25:42,891 --> 00:25:47,187
Maybe I can find someone.
You never know.
297
00:25:47,351 --> 00:25:53,221
-What is at stake in my character, please?
-You can sit down. Be at ease.
298
00:25:53,391 --> 00:25:55,108
Sit down, Dr. Perl.
299
00:25:55,191 --> 00:26:02,027
As you know Dr. Perl, you are one of the
first refugees to arrive in New York.
300
00:26:02,191 --> 00:26:05,107
We confirm that you are who you say you are.
301
00:26:05,190 --> 00:26:09,380
Do you think I would fake it?
Who else do you think I could be?
302
00:26:09,558 --> 00:26:14,187
There are a lot of people entering the country, Dr. Perl,
Good and bad. And you must understand...
303
00:26:14,271 --> 00:26:16,367
-Dr. Perl is very respectful...
-No, no. Now I know. I understand.
304
00:26:16,391 --> 00:26:20,350
You're telling me I'm
suspected of being one of the bad guys. �?
305
00:26:20,511 --> 00:26:25,470
And asking me to prove it to you
that I'm one of the good ones.
306
00:26:25,631 --> 00:26:28,021
Dr. Perl, we know you've been
in several Fields.
307
00:26:28,191 --> 00:26:33,808
Fields? That's what you call
to Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, in America?
308
00:26:33,891 --> 00:26:37,385
Fields? Places where your
Do children go on vacation?
309
00:26:37,471 --> 00:26:42,548
-Gentlemen, you will certainly understand...
-And we know that while you were in these Fields...
310
00:26:42,631 --> 00:26:47,339
For your privileges, as a doctor, you
He had very close contacts with the Nazis.
311
00:26:47,431 --> 00:26:49,267
Very close contacts.
312
00:26:52,467 --> 00:26:57,051
Close, yes. Yes, a pistol
in the temple, a boot in the throat.
313
00:26:57,134 --> 00:26:59,467
Very painful contacts.
314
00:26:59,631 --> 00:27:06,631
You worked as a doctor alongside
German doctors. Nazi doctors. Yes or no?
315
00:27:07,231 --> 00:27:11,941
-The German doctors were there, of course, but...
-Nazi doctors!
316
00:27:12,111 --> 00:27:15,547
And did you collaborate with them?
Yes, or no?
317
00:27:19,453 --> 00:27:20,461
Gisella!
318
00:27:20,842 --> 00:27:23,949
Gentlemen,
Do you have any idea what she went through?
319
00:27:24,111 --> 00:27:27,344
Gisella, please.
Please sit down. It's okay.
320
00:27:36,230 --> 00:27:37,822
Please.
321
00:27:38,831 --> 00:27:40,363
Very well.
322
00:27:41,591 --> 00:27:46,870
Please take notes.
All of you. Please take notes.
323
00:28:06,711 --> 00:28:11,023
Mom had to hand over all the money
to the Nazis. So you're going to pay him with jewels.
324
00:28:11,191 --> 00:28:15,704
No, not Martha. Tell your mother it's too much
kind. She can pay me after the war.
325
00:28:15,787 --> 00:28:17,350
No, that's what I said...
326
00:28:18,391 --> 00:28:21,902
-She insisted.
-And Pap agreed.
327
00:28:21,986 --> 00:28:27,388
No, I can't accept that. Not now.
We help each other however we can. Yes?
328
00:28:27,551 --> 00:28:34,024
Now they go straight home and
tell your parents what I said. Yes?
329
00:28:35,951 --> 00:28:41,424
-Katya, Marta, go.
-"Attention, people of Sighet.
330
00:28:41,591 --> 00:28:46,311
"From now on there is a touch
curfew from 23:00 to 06:00..."
331
00:28:46,395 --> 00:28:48,734
But the Hungarians are their allies,
Pap�. You don't listen to me.
332
00:28:49,013 --> 00:28:51,426
Listen to Frederick.
Tell him what you heard from them.
333
00:28:51,591 --> 00:28:55,148
-Moshe, the Germans...
-We're not leaving Sighet.
334
00:28:55,231 --> 00:28:57,690
How do you believe?
How do you know Cilla is safe?
335
00:28:57,773 --> 00:29:00,546
Helen in her letter,
says she arrived in Budapest.
336
00:29:00,711 --> 00:29:04,205
-Are they together?
-I don't know, Mom. Yes. I suppose they are.
337
00:29:04,288 --> 00:29:08,321
They have to go back.
Giska, you have to make them come back.
338
00:29:08,591 --> 00:29:11,908
No. They shouldn't come back here, Mommy.
Pray they are safe where they are.
339
00:29:11,991 --> 00:29:16,953
-Daddy, we have to calm down. But don't be stubborn...
-So what about Bela? Chandor, Julius...
340
00:29:18,287 --> 00:29:20,588
Moms are grown men.
You can take good care of them,
341
00:29:20,671 --> 00:29:22,176
and their families and are
to do the right thing they can.
342
00:29:22,260 --> 00:29:26,346
-But you and daddy...
-I'm not going anywhere without Dad.
343
00:29:26,429 --> 00:29:29,508
Listen to what I say.
Listen!
344
00:29:29,591 --> 00:29:34,711
We still have time. We have contacts and a lot of money.
You and Dad will join Rose in Palestine.
345
00:29:34,871 --> 00:29:36,893
We're not all like you.
We can't start all over again.
346
00:29:36,977 --> 00:29:39,686
This is our life. Our world.
Sighet is our Giska home.
347
00:29:39,701 --> 00:29:41,618
It will always be our land!
348
00:29:41,701 --> 00:29:42,788
-Daddy, please.
-Dad...
349
00:29:42,871 --> 00:29:44,939
the Germans will destroy us.
350
00:29:45,022 --> 00:29:47,908
The Hungarians will not allow it.
No civilized people will allow it.
351
00:29:47,991 --> 00:29:52,630
The Hungarians help are with them, Papá.
I see them walking together, side by side.
352
00:29:52,791 --> 00:29:57,765
-Then Sighet will not allow it.
-Moshe! Moses! Sighet is just a city.
353
00:29:58,005 --> 00:29:59,532
It's just another city.
354
00:29:59,616 --> 00:30:02,500
-Giska is right. You need...
-Listen.
355
00:30:02,671 --> 00:30:06,903
We are a family.
We stay together.
356
00:30:09,449 --> 00:30:10,282
Together!
357
00:30:26,031 --> 00:30:31,868
Helen, I have good news for you.
Good news in these terrible times!
358
00:30:31,951 --> 00:30:35,906
-Good news for me?
-Well, maybe.
359
00:30:36,271 --> 00:30:41,345
-What about... finally?
-Yes, if I give you my name.
360
00:30:42,562 --> 00:30:46,541
My husband will be so happy.
361
00:30:48,814 --> 00:30:52,895
Thank you, Dr. Perl.
If it weren't for you, this wouldn't be possible.
362
00:30:52,979 --> 00:30:58,166
No, no, it was God who wanted it to be that way.
I've done so little, I'm just a doctor.
363
00:31:01,631 --> 00:31:02,546
Open!
364
00:31:02,629 --> 00:31:04,949
Open the door!
365
00:31:05,631 --> 00:31:07,589
What's going on?
366
00:31:08,649 --> 00:31:11,449
-Search the whole house!
-How dare you invade our house?
367
00:31:11,533 --> 00:31:13,978
You! Traitor.
368
00:31:15,087 --> 00:31:17,473
-Come on. This way.
-Should you be ashamed?
369
00:31:17,557 --> 00:31:20,572
-What are you doing?
-Shut up!
370
00:31:20,655 --> 00:31:22,572
They can't behave like this!
371
00:31:22,655 --> 00:31:25,060
It's not right, breaking into this house!
372
00:31:26,071 --> 00:31:28,460
-Let me go.
-You have to come with us.
373
00:31:28,631 --> 00:31:31,792
-Why? He is a doctor.
-Let go of my daughter.
374
00:31:31,876 --> 00:31:32,358
Moses!
375
00:31:37,272 --> 00:31:40,087
Nut! Let's go!
376
00:31:41,669 --> 00:31:43,309
Let go of me! Gisella!
377
00:31:50,362 --> 00:31:55,349

379
00:32:23,943 --> 00:32:25,273
Pap�!
380
00:32:29,631 --> 00:32:32,347
-Imre! Quickly.
-Daddy!
381
00:32:33,461 --> 00:32:35,947
Charlotte, bring water.
382
00:32:43,789 --> 00:32:48,078
Look what they did to him!
Oh my God.
383
00:32:48,162 --> 00:32:54,987
-The fourth one is better.
-Charlotte, give me the water.
384
00:32:56,871 --> 00:32:59,628
Take it. Take this.
385
00:32:59,711 --> 00:33:01,201
-Take these pills.
-Medicines?
386
00:33:01,285 --> 00:33:05,536
Yes, Elizabeth, you smuggled them
here, for me. Take it, Frederick.
387
00:33:06,258 --> 00:33:09,680
-Dr. Junger, how is he?
-The fever is very high.
388
00:33:12,011 --> 00:33:15,287
David, you have to take this.
389
00:33:15,653 --> 00:33:21,118
-Take it. Come on, you're burning with fever.
-I can't swallow.
390
00:33:21,202 --> 00:33:22,437
Try it. Try for me.
391
00:33:30,791 --> 00:33:32,861
Very good. Very good.
392
00:33:33,629 --> 00:33:35,495
Dr. Junger, when did you release him?
393
00:33:35,579 --> 00:33:41,893
Yesterday. They suddenly decided
that I had nothing to say to them.
394
00:33:41,977 --> 00:33:48,813
Why take them then? Why do they beat them?
Why do they do these horrible things?
395
00:33:50,087 --> 00:33:53,327
For no other reason,
but fill us with fear.
396
00:33:53,411 --> 00:33:55,172
Magda, please.
It's okay, it's okay.
397
00:33:55,256 --> 00:34:00,171
Tomorrow, Giska.
Tomorrow they will take us away from here.
398
00:34:01,864 --> 00:34:04,173
-Tomorrow?
-Where to?
399
00:34:04,257 --> 00:34:06,771
-Poland.
-Poland?
400
00:34:08,631 --> 00:34:12,021
Go to bed, Charlotte.
Go to bed.
401
00:34:13,191 --> 00:34:17,503
Well, maybe at least
Let's all stay together, right?
402
00:34:17,671 --> 00:34:22,744
So what about Cilla? Lovely?
All of them?
403
00:34:22,911 --> 00:34:25,148
Mommy, I don't know.
But they are very strong.
404
00:34:25,231 --> 00:34:30,507
They're taking good care of themselves, and...
405
00:34:30,671 --> 00:34:32,987
and you know, maybe they don't want
let us worry about them.
406
00:34:41,645 --> 00:34:42,478
Take it.
407
00:34:46,215 --> 00:34:48,241
We have to have enough for all of us.
408
00:34:49,871 --> 00:34:53,133
Put it in your shoe.
If necessary...
409
00:34:55,110 --> 00:35:00,581
Frederick, are you serious?
Suicide?
410
00:35:01,021 --> 00:35:07,051
I'd rather die at my own hands,
than giving this pleasure to any bastard.
411
00:35:07,934 --> 00:35:10,607
-Me too.
-Shhh, shut up, please.
412
00:35:11,019 --> 00:35:14,280
I don't want Mom and the kids
others listen to what you say.
413
00:35:14,364 --> 00:35:19,337
Giska, put that in your shoe.
Please.
414
00:35:44,151 --> 00:35:46,109
Don't delay. Everyone in line.
415
00:35:47,215 --> 00:35:48,226
Sorry.
416
00:35:50,693 --> 00:35:52,003
Gisella!
417
00:35:57,833 --> 00:35:58,829
Sorry.
418
00:35:58,912 --> 00:36:00,154
Gisella!
419
00:36:00,238 --> 00:36:01,595
Gisella!
420
00:36:02,088 --> 00:36:03,840
Frederick, here.
421
00:36:09,791 --> 00:36:14,048
-Where is Dr. Junger? Where are they?
-Dead.
422
00:36:14,131 --> 00:36:17,965
They took the poison.
But Charlotte survived.
423
00:36:18,092 --> 00:36:22,706
Charlotte, he gave you very little.
She must be somewhere in these rows.
424
00:36:22,789 --> 00:36:25,387
I couldn't find her.
425
00:36:26,558 --> 00:36:29,729
-Giska!
-Daddy, it's okay.
426
00:36:31,831 --> 00:36:33,583
Here. Stay here.
427
00:36:51,999 --> 00:36:55,438
Charlotte. Charlotte Junger?
428
00:37:33,532 --> 00:37:35,730
Gisella! Giska!
429
00:37:35,814 --> 00:37:39,069
Dr. Perl. Where is Dr. Perl?
430
00:37:41,235 --> 00:37:42,917
-Dr. Pearl!
-Only Jews.
431
00:37:47,900 --> 00:37:49,390
Elizabeth!
432
00:37:49,473 --> 00:37:51,628
Dr. Perl! Let me go with them.
433
00:37:51,711 --> 00:37:55,305
Let me go with them.
No!
434
00:37:58,871 --> 00:38:01,628
Dr. Perl. Please stop the train.
435
00:38:03,628 --> 00:38:05,248
Please!
436
00:39:02,157 --> 00:39:04,090

Swear to me. We'll see each other

452
00:40:36,623 --> 00:40:39,943
-Take him to the ambulance.
-Giska, please come with me.
453
00:40:40,027 --> 00:40:40,943
Yes. Yes. Great.
454
00:40:41,027 --> 00:40:44,388
-Can my son go with him?
-Yes, if you want.
455
00:40:44,472 --> 00:40:48,181

Giska! Don't worry.
We'll be fine.
464
00:42:06,647 --> 00:42:10,196
Tell your mother to stay with you.
465
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,829
Giska. I found Rachel.
466
00:42:13,913 --> 00:42:16,672
-Rachel, were you on our train?
-Yes.
467
00:42:16,756 --> 00:42:21,069

00:44:30,471 --> 00:44:32,507
Cala-te, porca Judia!
475
00:44:36,151 --> 00:44:37,640
-Que est�s a fazer?
-Eu sou m�dica.
476
00:44:37,724 --> 00:44:39,180
Volta para a fila.
477
00:45:23,311 --> 00:45:26,230
And you dare to ask me
de que lado estava eu. Look.

Escreva isso.

00:45:30,191 --> 00:45:35,470
I'm Dr. Perl, number 25404.
480
00:45:39,782 --> 00:45:44,014
Prisioneira. N�o colaboradora.
481
00:46:14,831 --> 00:46:17,833
-Dr. Perl, bom dia.
-Good morning.
482
00:46:17,991 --> 00:46:22,940
I hope you understand that yesterday, we didn't have
inten��o de perturbar de modo algum...
483
00:46:23,111 --> 00:46:25,372
No, no. I understand.
Good morning, gentlemen.
484
00:46:25,455 --> 00:46:29,455
Allow me to introduce you
my friend Didi Goldstein.
485
00:46:29,871 --> 00:46:32,431
-Good morning.
-Miss Goldstein, good morning.
486
00:46:33,451 --> 00:46:37,285
-We continue where we left off.
-Yes.
487
00:46:38,031 --> 00:46:43,389
The train arrived, his family went
separated, you were taken for disinfection,
488
00:46:43,551 --> 00:46:48,989
O seu cabelo foi rapado. Uma mulher foi agredida
In your head, you tried to help, but you couldn't.
489
00:46:49,151 --> 00:46:54,500
-Then they tattooed his arm. Am I correct?
-Yes.
490
00:46:54,631 --> 00:46:56,459
Dr. Perl, I don't have
the intention of offending her with this.
491
00:46:56,542 --> 00:47:00,054
But we have to establish
her relationship as a doctor in the countryside.
492
00:47:00,138 --> 00:47:00,979
In Auschwitz, yes.
493
00:47:01,063 --> 00:47:06,060
Yes, now, before being
tattooed, you said to that woman...
494
00:47:06,144 --> 00:47:09,429
You must remember
that this woman was a Nazi guard.
495
00:47:09,513 --> 00:47:11,114
You told that Nazi guard...
496
00:47:11,198 --> 00:47:15,205
who was a doctor. It was at that time
Who started working as a doctor?
497
00:47:15,289 --> 00:47:19,266
No. I never returned to her
to see. They were many.
498
00:47:24,045 --> 00:47:27,720
No, that's not how I started.
499
00:47:30,051 --> 00:47:34,761
-That wasn't then.
-Then how? How did it happen?
500
00:47:37,196 --> 00:47:40,313
Was it voluntarily?
Did anyone nominate her?
501
00:47:40,397 --> 00:47:47,397
You say you didn't cooperate. It was
Forced to work against your will?
502
00:47:48,076 --> 00:47:50,112
No, I...
503
00:47:54,571 --> 00:47:59,072
I volunteered.
But... please.
504
00:47:59,156 --> 00:48:02,349
At that time I didn't
idea of the things I would have to do.
505
00:48:06,015 --> 00:48:08,573
Let's go. Let's go.
506
00:48:21,436 --> 00:48:25,277
-Sorry. Do you know where the hospital is?
-Shhh!
507
00:48:25,711 --> 00:48:29,306
-Do you know where they took the men?
-I don't know.
508
00:48:29,471 --> 00:48:33,349
My God, where are they?
509
00:48:35,407 --> 00:48:37,732
Why are you pinching yourself?
510
00:48:37,816 --> 00:48:42,287
To have color in my cheeks.
To avoid being chosen.
511
00:48:42,638 --> 00:48:46,870
-Why did it take so long?
-Sorry?
512
00:48:47,991 --> 00:48:53,109
Eating caviar,
while we rot here.
513
00:48:56,993 --> 00:48:59,632
You get used to it.
514
00:49:00,214 --> 00:49:05,644
They have to burn us all,
before the Russians arrive.
515
00:49:16,715 --> 00:49:18,007
Charlotte.
516
00:49:23,291 --> 00:49:27,059
-Charlotte Junger.
-Shut up.
517
00:49:31,437 --> 00:49:35,988
I give you two days.
Then, it's over!
518
00:49:40,086 --> 00:49:41,224
Charlotte!
519
00:49:42,514 --> 00:49:43,993
Attention.
520
00:49:44,077 --> 00:49:45,659
Attention!
521
00:49:46,750 --> 00:49:48,750
Attention!
522
00:50:02,446 --> 00:50:06,200
-What do we have here?
-A ballerina.
523
00:50:06,284 --> 00:50:08,115
A ballerina?
524
00:50:12,151 --> 00:50:15,063
-Do you want to dance for me?
-Daddy?
525
00:50:25,671 --> 00:50:28,629
Bravo. Bravo. Bravo.
526
00:50:30,671 --> 00:50:32,821
I must...
527
00:50:36,431 --> 00:50:42,437
No. No, no, no.
She is so beautiful. And such a good dancer.
528
00:50:42,521 --> 00:50:43,873
Thank you, Daddy.
529
00:50:44,570 --> 00:50:47,430
Delighted. He comes.
530
00:50:51,964 --> 00:50:54,797
Are there any doctors here?
531
00:50:57,693 --> 00:51:00,252
Attention!
532
00:51:00,336 --> 00:51:05,257
-Are there doctors here?
-There are no doctors, huh?
533
00:51:05,420 --> 00:51:08,263
Not even one?
534
00:51:08,347 --> 00:51:13,997
Attention!
Are there doctors here?
535
00:51:17,934 --> 00:51:18,743
No doctors?
536
00:51:23,753 --> 00:51:25,063
Oh! Finally!
537
00:51:28,425 --> 00:51:32,514
-What kind of doctor are you?
-Gynecologist.
538
00:51:32,598 --> 00:51:33,673
Gynecologist?
539
00:51:33,757 --> 00:51:40,757
Gynecologist? Excellent. Does medicine
private, or is it linked to a clinic?
540
00:51:40,841 --> 00:51:45,198
I have a practice.
I studied in Cluj and Berlin.
541
00:51:46,230 --> 00:51:48,947
Berlin? Yes. I should meet her.
542
00:51:49,854 --> 00:51:51,518
I also studied in Berlin.
543
00:51:53,231 --> 00:51:58,353
You know, you have an authoritarian air,
which I find impressive.
544
00:51:58,437 --> 00:52:04,625
It is an attitude that I would admire, and respect in
Anyone, but a doctor, is wonderful.
545
00:52:04,725 --> 00:52:05,568
Thank you, sir.
546
00:52:05,652 --> 00:52:09,754
Sorry sir, I know,
But if I may...
547
00:52:09,838 --> 00:52:14,592
If... if you could help me
finding my son.
548
00:52:14,675 --> 00:52:17,588
He was taken to
the infirmary last night.
549
00:52:17,671 --> 00:52:18,216
-I understand.
-and... and...
550
00:52:18,300 --> 00:52:21,748
He's waiting for me.
And I'm worried about him.
551
00:52:21,832 --> 00:52:24,461
And I know he must be
very worried about me...
552
00:52:24,545 --> 00:52:27,499
Of course, any good son
I would be worried about your mother, yes.
553
00:52:27,583 --> 00:52:31,000
-Yes, and I would like to go and visit him.
-Certainly. We can do that for you.
554
00:52:31,084 --> 00:52:32,833
-Yes?
-Yes.
555
00:52:34,141 --> 00:52:36,833
Perhaps in the meantime I could
pass him a message.
556
00:52:36,917 --> 00:52:38,844
- It's a pleasure. The boy's name?
-Imre
557
00:52:38,928 --> 00:52:39,602
Imre Krauss.
558
00:52:39,686 --> 00:52:42,165
Irme will be informed that
Your mother is fine. Right?
559
00:52:42,249 --> 00:52:46,933
-Thank you, sir. Just one more thing, please.
-Please, definitely.
560
00:52:47,017 --> 00:52:49,432
Excuse me, but if I may...
561
00:52:49,516 --> 00:52:56,516
-Please continue...
-My brother is very sick, and my mother...
562
00:52:56,351 --> 00:53:01,480
Please, please. You, your husband,
and his mother, his whole family...
563
00:53:01,563 --> 00:53:03,668
they will be together again, very soon.
564
00:53:04,158 --> 00:53:06,322
-Yes?
-Yes.
565
00:53:06,838 --> 00:53:10,422
Thanks.
Thank you, sir.
566
00:53:10,511 --> 00:53:13,789
I'd like to ask you a small favor. Yes?
567
00:53:13,951 --> 00:53:20,106
You are Hungarian and I am German. I think the
Women should listen to you better than to me.
568
00:53:20,271 --> 00:53:24,349
Now. We just built
a home for pregnant women
569
00:53:24,432 --> 00:53:29,935
As you will see, they will have all the conditions, beds
clean, good food and medical care, of course...
570
00:53:31,031 --> 00:53:34,052
Now, it would cost me
they had to walk.
571
00:53:34,135 --> 00:53:36,548
We have some vehicles from
Red Cross. to take them there.
572
00:53:36,631 --> 00:53:42,129
But, the question is, the more
so we can put them in the trucks...
573
00:53:42,212 --> 00:53:45,568
the more they can receive
the care they deserve.
574
00:53:45,651 --> 00:53:46,901
And you know, I almost feel
Embarrassed to have to say this.
575
00:53:46,984 --> 00:53:49,068
They are
so desperately needed.
576
00:53:49,151 --> 00:53:51,788
Yes? So, could you do this for me?
577
00:53:51,871 --> 00:53:56,348
It can bring women together
pregnant women, and carry them to term?
578
00:53:56,432 --> 00:53:59,928
-Yes?
-Of course I can. Of course I can help you.
579
00:54:00,012 --> 00:54:02,218
Thank you very much.
580
00:54:02,301 --> 00:54:06,150
-No, no, thank you very much.
-It's very kind.
581
00:54:11,959 --> 00:54:13,296
Sorry!
582
00:54:14,991 --> 00:54:21,991
Dr. Mengele, told me
that there is a home for future mothers.
583
00:54:22,271 --> 00:54:26,811
There are good beds, baths,
medical care, good food...
584
00:54:26,895 --> 00:54:33,679
These Red Cross cars,
take them to that house.
585
00:54:33,762 --> 00:54:40,367
For those of you who are pregnant,
This seems like a good option to me, yes.
586
00:54:50,231 --> 00:54:55,481
Do you really think you can be great,
big, strong and powerful, "Herr" Doctor?
587
00:54:55,565 --> 00:54:56,917
What are you talking about?
588
00:55:03,791 --> 00:55:07,147
-He will send all women to their death.
-He said...
589
00:55:07,311 --> 00:55:12,788
Don't you know who he is, Dr. Mengele?
He is the doctor of death.
590
00:55:12,871 --> 00:55:15,142
No, those trucks are from the Red Cross.
591
00:55:15,225 --> 00:55:18,425
So where are the workers
from the Red Cross, Doctor?
592
00:55:18,813 --> 00:55:19,646
But...
593
00:55:20,471 --> 00:55:25,975
I want my son
and my son helped my brother...
594
00:55:26,058 --> 00:55:28,928
they sent us in a car
from the Red Cross last night,
595
00:55:29,011 --> 00:55:30,079
-both of them.
-Shhh!
596
00:55:32,471 --> 00:55:38,625
His brother and son were taken
where those women are going.
597
00:55:38,708 --> 00:55:39,751
Where did you send them?
598
00:55:39,834 --> 00:55:42,351
No, no, Dr. Mengele promised
take a message to lmre.
599
00:55:42,434 --> 00:55:45,648
Oh! Dr. Mengele promised
take a message to Imre.
600
00:55:45,731 --> 00:55:47,542
-Yes! Yes!
-To the infirmary.
601
00:55:48,311 --> 00:55:52,227
The infirmary is a gas chamber.
A crematorium.
602
00:55:52,311 --> 00:55:55,055
-No! No!
-Your son is dead.
603
00:55:57,817 --> 00:55:59,265
Look. See beyond.
604
00:55:59,349 --> 00:56:01,804
They are Red Cross cars
by Dr. Mengele. Do you see them?
605
00:56:07,260 --> 00:56:12,573
You're the great doctor, huh?
What's that sweet smell in the air?
606
00:56:12,657 --> 00:56:16,947
You've certainly smelled it before,
If you really are a doctor?
607
00:56:26,574 --> 00:56:31,931
Listen. Did you hear that?
Do you know what it's like to be burned?
608
00:56:32,015 --> 00:56:35,000
Human flesh. understand?
609
00:56:35,084 --> 00:56:36,642
Human flesh.
610
00:57:04,669 --> 00:57:07,697
You take the poison, that
Was it an attempt to kill himself?
611
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:10,355
Dr. Perl?
612
00:57:12,504 --> 00:57:15,310
Yes, the knowledge of what
was happening. That's what...
613
00:57:15,471 --> 00:57:22,307
what happened.
The crematorium, Imre. Imre, my son...
614
00:57:22,471 --> 00:57:28,510
It was... It was too much. You know...
This was too much.
615
00:57:28,671 --> 00:57:30,502
I'm sorry for your loss.
616
00:57:30,671 --> 00:57:37,117
Now, this first day, this was the
First time you heard about gas chambers?
617
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:38,190
Yes.
618
00:57:38,351 --> 00:57:43,269
And you freely admitted to sending all those
women to die in the gas chambers?
619
00:57:44,957 --> 00:57:50,394
I was deceived. I was threatened.
Didn't you hear what I said?
620
00:57:52,271 --> 00:57:58,506
Just like those women were.
But except I survived, and... and...
621
00:57:58,671 --> 00:58:02,148
Do you understand what
Dr. Mengele said about...
622
00:58:02,231 --> 00:58:03,679
of those women being
sent for treatment?
623
00:58:03,762 --> 00:58:07,788
I was a doctor and as a doctor
I wanted this to be done.
624
00:58:07,871 --> 00:58:11,894
I believed I wanted
there would be an infirmary for everyone.
625
00:58:11,978 --> 00:58:13,474
But I was young.
626
00:58:13,558 --> 00:58:19,030
At that time, I didn't understand what it meant
"medical care" for pregnant women.
627
00:58:19,114 --> 00:58:24,950
So these "cares" were then
will they go to the gas chambers?
628
00:58:25,034 --> 00:58:29,550
Normally, yes. Sometimes,
they experimented with them.
629
00:58:29,634 --> 00:58:34,754
Have you participated in some
of these experiences, Dr. Perl?
630
00:58:38,435 --> 00:58:40,630
Not even under pressure?
631
00:58:40,751 --> 00:58:47,167
I would have asked them to shoot me
any experience in pregnancy, or not.
632
00:58:47,250 --> 00:58:51,663
So you haven't watched Dr. Mengele.
633
00:58:58,191 --> 00:59:05,191
Shall we now discuss semantics? If I helped
Dr Mengele? Yes. By your definition, yes,
634
00:59:05,791 --> 00:59:07,194
that first day, without knowing.
635
00:59:07,277 --> 00:59:09,270
But as soon as he knew the fate
of those women,
636
00:59:09,353 --> 00:59:15,906
the women I thought I was helping,
but instead... I fell on myself, as soon as I knew...
637
00:59:16,071 --> 00:59:17,964
I swore there would never be a pregnant woman again
in Auschwitz as long as I could avoid it.
638
00:59:18,048 --> 00:59:20,043
Strong words, Dr. Perl.
639
00:59:22,299 --> 00:59:27,053
Yes, words.
What are the words, Mr. Prentiss?
640
00:59:27,137 --> 00:59:30,210
There is none that describes what I saw.
641
00:59:34,772 --> 00:59:40,290
Shall we stop for lunch? We will be here
It's two o'clock. If this suits everyone?
642
00:59:40,374 --> 00:59:42,923
Of course. Of course.
643
00:59:46,125 --> 00:59:47,980
Oh my God!
644
00:59:58,686 --> 01:00:01,686
Does it always end so awkwardly?
645
01:00:03,164 --> 01:00:04,430
I'm not going back there.
646
01:00:08,385 --> 01:00:09,266
Why?
647
01:00:13,631 --> 01:00:15,464
Did she mention Rachel?
648
01:00:19,831 --> 01:00:25,041
She talked about Rachel, didn't she?
And Isabel. Tell me.
649
01:00:26,591 --> 01:00:30,027
She only talked about herself.
650
01:00:30,191 --> 01:00:34,223
Dr. Perl, let's get back to the subject of abortion...
651
01:00:34,307 --> 01:00:36,748
to be mentioned before the break.
652
01:00:36,831 --> 01:00:42,868
Do you say in your visa application, that you
Did you personally perform more than a thousand abortions?
653
01:00:42,951 --> 01:00:45,949
That's right, yes, but,
yes, something close to that.
654
01:00:46,032 --> 01:00:49,108
I don't know what the intention was, Dr. Perl,
but that is a terrifying number.
655
01:00:49,191 --> 01:00:52,032
The intention for which it served,
Mr. Prentiss,
656
01:00:52,115 --> 01:00:53,907
it was a very important purpose.
Save mothers' lives.
657
01:00:53,991 --> 01:01:00,169
Save mothers' lives? Women you us
He said they were all destined to die.
658
01:01:00,253 --> 01:01:03,051
The Nazis' intention, Mr. Prentiss,
was to kill us all.
659
01:01:03,135 --> 01:01:05,121
Down to the last Jew.
660
01:01:05,205 --> 01:01:10,742
From hunger, to shoot us, to humiliate us
burn us, gas us, we should all die.
661
01:01:10,826 --> 01:01:12,323
Anything from
that would result in death.
662
01:01:12,407 --> 01:01:17,606
-Well, we understand Dr. Perl...
-But my intention, as a doctor...
663
01:01:17,690 --> 01:01:24,690
like any other human being
like us, it was to survive. I endured.
664
01:01:24,351 --> 01:01:27,699
And I forced... I forced
others to endure...
665
01:01:27,871 --> 01:01:34,265
because, I never lost hope
that the Russians, or maybe even you...
666
01:01:34,431 --> 01:01:39,710
even you, could find us
and finally to the slaughter.
667
01:01:39,871 --> 01:01:43,420
Therefore, while you
fought your war...
668
01:01:43,591 --> 01:01:45,024
I fought mine.
669
01:01:45,107 --> 01:01:49,107
Maybe it will remind me.
Maybe you can explain this...
670
01:01:49,271 --> 01:01:52,101
-uh...
-Gentlemen, please.
671
01:01:52,184 --> 01:01:53,946
It's all so simple.
672
01:01:54,351 --> 01:01:57,229
Women who were
pregnant women were killed.
673
01:01:57,391 --> 01:02:01,907
I aborted fetuses so that mothers
could survive. Do you understand?
674
01:02:02,071 --> 01:02:04,460
If I could save mom's life...
675
01:02:04,631 --> 01:02:06,648
and if she could survive,
If you wish...
676
01:02:06,731 --> 01:02:08,903
God, she may one day
give birth to another child.
677
01:02:09,031 --> 01:02:14,901
No one can exterminate the Jewish People,
as long as Jewish women have babies.
678
01:02:15,071 --> 01:02:19,349
Were there babies born in Auschwitz?
679
01:02:20,351 --> 01:02:23,468
Yes, some, but...
680
01:02:23,551 --> 01:02:29,670
newborns were
immediately exterminated with their mothers.
681
01:02:29,754 --> 01:02:35,541
But these women were separated from
men. How did they get pregnant?
682
01:02:35,625 --> 01:02:38,365
Most pregnant women
in Auschwitz they already arrived like this.
683
01:02:38,449 --> 01:02:42,442
As for the others... some
they were raped by the SS...
684
01:02:42,526 --> 01:02:45,961
some sold their bodies
for food, in the latrines.
685
01:02:46,045 --> 01:02:48,124
Was it? In the latrines?
686
01:02:48,208 --> 01:02:53,077
Yes. There were men, prisoners
work who had access to this area.
687
01:02:53,161 --> 01:02:57,863
But still. thousand women
pregnant. Don't think that number...
688
01:02:57,825 --> 01:03:04,303
Mr. Prentiss, Auschwitz was not a few
tents in the woods, it was like a small town.
689
01:03:04,471 --> 01:03:08,388
There were 30,000 of us
only in the Hungarian women's sector.
690
01:03:08,471 --> 01:03:12,225
A thousand, out of 30 thousand, is actually very little.
691
01:03:12,391 --> 01:03:19,391
You said before, that Dr. Mengel did
experiences in pregnant women?
692
01:03:22,659 --> 01:03:25,171
Yes. In both, the fetus and the mother.
693
01:03:27,576 --> 01:03:29,466
No anesthesia.
694
01:03:32,551 --> 01:03:37,386
For no other purpose than
his own perverse pleasure. He...
695
01:03:37,551 --> 01:03:44,551
None of this seems real, if he didn't use
anesthesia, but required sterilized instruments.
696
01:03:46,031 --> 01:03:49,850
He can't understand.
697
01:03:49,934 --> 01:03:53,304
If you were not present
in these experiences...
698
01:03:53,388 --> 01:03:55,034
How do you know they happened?
699
01:03:56,011 --> 01:04:01,048
Because these women were me
brought later for treatments.
700
01:04:01,132 --> 01:04:05,927
So they could get back to work.
Most of them did not survive.
701
01:04:06,011 --> 01:04:09,264
This only encouraged me to have an abortion
more pregnant women.
702
01:04:09,351 --> 01:04:14,308
Dr. Perl, I think we are
having some difficulty...
703
01:04:14,391 --> 01:04:19,784
-to understand the situation you describe.
-Okay, okay.
704
01:04:19,951 --> 01:04:23,910
The women of Sighet were the first.
705
01:04:24,071 --> 01:04:28,825
The ones they chose on selection day.
They heard about me and they chose me.
706
01:04:50,591 --> 01:04:54,346
The girl who brought me here
Said you know me.
707
01:04:54,511 --> 01:05:00,791
-Dr. Pearl!
-My God, Leiku. Leiku. Leiku!
708
01:05:01,791 --> 01:05:06,639
-Can you help me?
-Yes, of course, I can.
709
01:05:06,723 --> 01:05:11,779
I didn't want to do this, but if Mengele
Find out, I'm sent to the gas.
710
01:05:11,863 --> 01:05:14,352
I know that. Calm. Listening.
711
01:05:14,436 --> 01:05:16,817
When we get out of this hell,
you and your husband...
712
01:05:16,901 --> 01:05:18,844
they can have another child.
A free child.
713
01:05:18,928 --> 01:05:24,366
-It took so long...
-Shut up! You can't wake the guard.
714
01:05:24,450 --> 01:05:29,263
Are you okay? Now lie down on your back.
Please.
715
01:05:29,347 --> 01:05:34,703
Listen. Breathe very slowly
through the nose. Do you understand?
716
01:05:34,787 --> 01:05:39,127
-Can I see my baby?
-Yes, you can, of course. But lie down.
717
01:05:39,211 --> 01:05:42,190
-Oh! No!
-Don't talk, please.
718
01:05:45,711 --> 01:05:49,021
Silence. Quiet. Calm down
719
01:05:49,722 --> 01:05:55,113
Leiku, then you can have
another son, I promise you.
720
01:07:00,534 --> 01:07:03,867
So you aborted Leiku's fetus?
721
01:07:05,071 --> 01:07:12,071
No. I mean, yes, yes.
But Leiku's fetus did not survive
722
01:07:12,738 --> 01:07:17,387
But if you hadn't
access to the infirmary in this place...
723
01:07:17,551 --> 01:07:21,399
Even in the infirmary, even in the
Infirmary, if you can call it that...
724
01:07:21,483 --> 01:07:23,565
there were very few instruments,
Mr. Prentiss.
725
01:07:23,649 --> 01:07:28,403
But you said that Dr. Mengele
Did you use instruments? Sterile instruments...
726
01:07:28,487 --> 01:07:34,522
Yes. I used it. In the experiment block. Block
11. But he didn't work in the infirmary.
727
01:07:34,606 --> 01:07:37,763
Before you arrive at the infirmary
and abort these babies...
728
01:07:37,847 --> 01:07:38,998
Fetuses.
729
01:07:41,174 --> 01:07:44,928
How was it possible for you to do
this, without instruments?
730
01:07:45,012 --> 01:07:47,924
With my bare hands, Mr. Prentiss.
731
01:07:52,214 --> 01:07:53,319
Yes.
732
01:07:56,147 --> 01:08:02,078
Sorry, Dr. Perl, but you seem
have no remorse for any of these acts.
733
01:08:02,162 --> 01:08:06,041
Forgive me Mr. Prentiss,
but you don't seem to hear.
734
01:08:06,125 --> 01:08:10,261
Why should I feel remorse,
for saving the lives of a thousand women?
735
01:08:10,345 --> 01:08:14,124
I risked my own
life, every time I did this.
736
01:08:14,208 --> 01:08:20,556
If they ever knew, at any time
it would also be sent to the gas. What regrets?
737
01:08:20,862 --> 01:08:26,061
These stories, Dr. Perl.
Your logic...
738
01:08:27,556 --> 01:08:31,217
One moment, please. Please
stop writing, please. Stop!
739
01:08:31,301 --> 01:08:33,496
Stop writing, please.
740
01:08:33,756 --> 01:08:34,589
Yes.
741
01:08:34,673 --> 01:08:38,819
Gentlemen, Auschwitz was another country,
742
01:08:38,903 --> 01:08:42,641
a country with its own rules
and its own logic.
743
01:08:42,521 --> 01:08:45,904
And these rules changed day by day.
From situation to situation.
744
01:08:46,071 --> 01:08:49,071
We, who were there, who lived through it,
745
01:08:49,154 --> 01:08:51,988
We couldn't judge each other.
Therefore it would be impossible...
746
01:08:52,071 --> 01:08:56,780
No. No. It's absurd,
747
01:08:56,951 --> 01:08:59,516
for you, a man,
sitting here to judge me.
748
01:09:21,870 --> 01:09:23,769
-Yes.
-Good evening, Dr. Perl.
749
01:09:24,448 --> 01:09:30,848
It is Dr. Mengele who speaks. I'm so
pleased to find her. I need...
750
01:10:01,637 --> 01:10:05,832
When did you ask for a hospital to
women in Auschwitz-Birkenau, Dr. Perl?
751
01:10:08,190 --> 01:10:12,682
-When did you ask for the hospital for women?
-I don't remember exactly.
752
01:10:14,141 --> 01:10:18,626
I remember my hair was
started to turn completely white, and...
753
01:10:20,343 --> 01:10:24,283
I don't know. Maybe,
two months after arriving there.
754
01:10:25,019 --> 01:10:26,950
Because of Dr. Mengele?
755
01:10:31,219 --> 01:10:33,779
Yes, because of Dr. Mengele.
756
01:10:33,863 --> 01:10:37,172
Jewish doctors, step forward.
Let's open a ward for women.
757
01:10:44,431 --> 01:10:46,386
All Jewish doctors,
a step forward.
758
01:10:51,511 --> 01:10:54,823
-Your name?
-Dr. Ruth Stern from Budapest, oncologist.
759
01:10:54,907 --> 01:10:55,740
Great.
760
01:10:57,271 --> 01:10:59,182
Other doctors, one step further.
761
01:11:07,396 --> 01:11:10,945
Closer. Closer.
Turn to them.
762
01:11:16,923 --> 01:11:21,962
All Jewish doctors,
one step forward. Your name?
763
01:11:24,799 --> 01:11:25,697
Your name?
764
01:11:39,341 --> 01:11:40,872
Nobody else?
765
01:11:46,845 --> 01:11:50,549
-Your name?
-Dr. Gisella Perl. Sighet.
766
01:11:51,255 --> 01:11:54,076
Ah yes, the gynecologist.
767
01:12:03,319 --> 01:12:07,657
Very good.
So we'll see a lot of each other.
768
01:12:24,349 --> 01:12:29,900
Exactly, what did you do in the hospital,
or what do you call it, in the infirmary?
769
01:12:29,984 --> 01:12:32,790
We treated the sick and
wounded, as well as we could.
770
01:12:32,874 --> 01:12:38,824
We didn't have bandages, just this kind
of paper, and almost no medicine.
771
01:12:41,327 --> 01:12:43,887
-Come on, get back to work.
-Sorry...
772
01:12:43,971 --> 01:12:48,675
With your permission, but this patient,
You only need to rest for one day.
773
01:12:48,759 --> 01:12:52,009
Her foot is infected
and I don't think she...
774
01:13:05,413 --> 01:13:06,246
Pang!
775
01:13:09,805 --> 01:13:11,363
He comes.
776
01:13:16,591 --> 01:13:20,170
Put that woman back this
afternoon, she is able to work.
777
01:13:27,225 --> 01:13:28,737
Calm down, everything's okay.
778
01:13:28,821 --> 01:13:35,215
Dr. Perl, our information indicates that
one of his patients was an SS officer.
779
01:13:35,299 --> 01:13:36,488
Is this true?
780
01:13:36,801 --> 01:13:39,361
I don't want to believe it.
781
01:13:40,155 --> 01:13:45,313
He continues to insinuate that this
Was it something I would choose?
782
01:13:45,397 --> 01:13:49,483
-Who would willingly help a Nazi?
-Answer the question, please.
783
01:13:59,467 --> 01:14:03,733
Yes. Irma Griese called me
to her quarters.
784
01:14:03,817 --> 01:14:05,409
Enter.
785
01:14:05,493 --> 01:14:09,485
Because I thought I was pregnant.
786
01:14:23,152 --> 01:14:27,727
You have to extract me. There are instruments
sterilized in the cabinet. Go get them.
787
01:14:37,216 --> 01:14:41,891
And if you talk about this to anyone,
You know, I'm done with you.
788
01:14:42,591 --> 01:14:44,627
I won't say a word...
789
01:14:44,710 --> 01:14:47,068
You're a good doctor.
790
01:14:47,231 --> 01:14:53,351
Too bad you have to die.
Germany needs good doctors.
791
01:14:58,661 --> 01:15:01,142
Will it hurt?
792
01:15:04,535 --> 01:15:07,527
You will feel a sharp pain, pressure...
793
01:15:07,611 --> 01:15:11,684
Then he starts to have cramps and bleeding.
794
01:15:11,768 --> 01:15:18,286
Wait a minute. How long will you
hurt? I can't stand any kind of pain.
795
01:15:19,335 --> 01:15:26,335
Yes. It's not very long. A few hours. After
must rest. And stay in bed for a while.
796
01:15:28,101 --> 01:15:28,879
Now please...
797
01:15:55,855 --> 01:16:00,852
-Thank you Dr. Perl, I think that's all for today.
-See you tomorrow, at the same time.
798
01:16:00,936 --> 01:16:04,665
One moment, please.
Is there one more day after this?
799
01:16:04,749 --> 01:16:06,606
Just a few more questions.
800
01:16:06,690 --> 01:16:10,586
I can't believe those
Yankees guys, they lost again.
801
01:16:10,670 --> 01:16:11,415
It cost me ten dollars.
802
01:16:11,499 --> 01:16:14,196
Well, that's what happens
when you support a loser.
803
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,080
From Auschwitz, in one minute
baseball in the following,
804
01:16:16,164 --> 01:16:19,638
this transition is so easy for you,
isn't it?
805
01:16:20,877 --> 01:16:23,945
Dr. Perl, I assure you, this is
It's hard for all of us to hear.
806
01:16:25,127 --> 01:16:28,526
Yes, Mr. Schuman I have
I'm sure you're right, gentlemen,
807
01:16:28,610 --> 01:16:33,965
sorry,
I have to try to understand something.
808
01:16:34,049 --> 01:16:40,086
I found a magazine a few days ago. Mr.
Prentiss, perhaps, must be aware of this.
809
01:16:40,170 --> 01:16:44,607
A revista chama-se Commonweal,
and is a Catholic publication.
(
810
01:16:44,691 --> 01:16:50,979
In this magazine there are articles about Campos,
as you so kindly call them.
811
01:16:51,063 --> 01:16:56,878
This was three years ago.
You knew. America knew.
812
01:16:56,962 --> 01:17:00,610
You... you all knew.
And they sat here, and did nothing?
813
01:17:00,694 --> 01:17:01,342
Nothing?
814
01:17:01,426 --> 01:17:02,463
Hope?
815
01:17:02,547 --> 01:17:05,730
-Sorry.
-Please, please, Mr. Prentiss.
816
01:17:05,814 --> 01:17:07,232
Please let me finish.
817
01:17:07,190 --> 01:17:08,069
At� amanh�.
818
01:17:12,791 --> 01:17:18,455
When we were being massacred,
summer of 1944, what were you doing?
819
01:17:18,538 --> 01:17:22,528
Mr. Smith? You walked
by the beach with your wife?
820
01:17:22,611 --> 01:17:25,023
Had a picnic on the beach?
821
01:17:25,191 --> 01:17:26,458
I don't really understand.
822
01:17:27,551 --> 01:17:32,545
And you, Peter Schuman, my partner
Jew, what did you do to occupy your time?
823
01:17:32,711 --> 01:17:36,944
I went to the Temple or hit balls
baseball with your son?
824
01:17:37,111 --> 01:17:42,581
My son was killed on D-Day.
825
01:17:43,551 --> 01:17:46,270
The body was never recovered.
826
01:17:50,871 --> 01:17:54,500
Forgive me. God, forgive me.
Forgive me.
827
01:17:54,671 --> 01:17:57,895
I'm so sorry. Sincerely
I'm sorry.
828
01:17:58,228 --> 01:18:01,706
But having to explain what
It happened, I... I became disoriented.
829
01:18:03,951 --> 01:18:10,503
I'm sorry for the loss of your son.
I ask for your forgiveness.
830
01:18:15,911 --> 01:18:17,947
See you tomorrow.
831
01:18:26,187 --> 01:18:30,703
Dr. Perl?
It's just me, Dr. Perl...
832
01:18:32,857 --> 01:18:36,770
Martha Weiss. From Sighet.
833
01:19:02,330 --> 01:19:08,042
I would never believe that one day
I would be walking alongside you in America.
834
01:19:08,126 --> 01:19:12,916
Me, walking like that,
with the great Dr. Perl.
835
01:19:13,256 --> 01:19:16,137
And no one... no one would believe it.
836
01:19:16,221 --> 01:19:19,281
Maybe you can convince
these employees to believe.
837
01:19:19,365 --> 01:19:24,516
-They don't believe she's a great doctor?
-Not yet, but who can blame them?
838
01:19:25,825 --> 01:19:27,102
They have never been to Sighet.
839
01:19:27,186 --> 01:19:30,803
You know, they have their Park Avenue
with its Central Park...
840
01:19:30,887 --> 01:19:36,160
-but we have the great Corso, and the river... Tisza.
-And the Tisza river.
841
01:19:36,244 --> 01:19:39,480
-There are more girls from Sighet here.
-Yes?
842
01:19:41,892 --> 01:19:46,690
Yes, I don't know who they are, but
The UJA woman told me they are here.
843
01:19:49,631 --> 01:19:55,172
It's good. And soon we will have soirees,
and we will be living like there,
844
01:19:55,271 --> 01:19:58,530
-And can I go too?
-You, dear, will be the guest of honor.
845
01:19:58,614 --> 01:20:02,128
His hair turned dark again.
846
01:20:02,212 --> 01:20:02,898
Shh, shh. I painted him. I am
too young to have white hair.
847
01:20:02,982 --> 01:20:08,947
Dr. Perl. We received a letter from a woman
who recently arrived in New York.
848
01:20:08,871 --> 01:20:12,705
A woman named... Zozia...
849
01:20:14,871 --> 01:20:19,546
Well, anyway,
This Zozia writes that...
850
01:20:19,711 --> 01:20:24,260
her sister was refused treatment in
infirmary because she couldn't pay it.
851
01:20:24,554 --> 01:20:28,686
As a result he died.
852
01:20:29,758 --> 01:20:34,506
Yes, I remember the case.
853
01:20:34,671 --> 01:20:37,449
This woman known as
to "zombie" to "Walking Dead".
854
01:20:37,411 --> 01:20:40,665
We had very few medicines,
but nothing that could save her.
855
01:20:40,831 --> 01:20:42,928
It was very sad, actually.
856
01:20:43,011 --> 01:20:47,228
So you never asked
payment for treatment?
857
01:20:49,311 --> 01:20:51,002
Absolutely not.
858
01:20:51,086 --> 01:20:55,044
-Am I authorized to speak?
-Of course. Please.
859
01:21:01,882 --> 01:21:07,151
Dr. Perl, Dr. Perl saved
my life in the ward.
860
01:21:07,817 --> 01:21:12,818
And I'm not the only one. She saved so many...
I saw it with my own eyes..
861
01:21:14,004 --> 01:21:18,355
She didn't ask for anything. She just gave.
862
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:21,509
-I can tell them...
-I'd like to hear it.
863
01:21:23,712 --> 01:21:27,330
I couldn't walk.
I was very sick.
864
01:21:27,414 --> 01:21:32,201
My sister, Katia, was very strong.
She practically carried me there.
865
01:21:32,285 --> 01:21:36,164
-Is Dr. Perl de Sighet here?
-Martha, Katya!
866
01:21:40,106 --> 01:21:42,666
Ruth, I need you to help me.
867
01:21:44,271 --> 01:21:47,980
She hid me during all the selections.
868
01:21:48,151 --> 01:21:53,020
If Dr. Mengele had found out,
I would certainly have been shot.
869
01:21:53,191 --> 01:21:56,979
The other doctors also helped...
870
01:22:29,770 --> 01:22:32,004
For your beds.
871
01:22:41,176 --> 01:22:43,929
She kept me there for over a week...
872
01:22:44,013 --> 01:22:46,971
He helped me, feeding me
with her roots...
873
01:22:47,055 --> 01:22:51,606
exchanging them for margarine,
until I get stronger.
874
01:22:55,671 --> 01:23:00,970
-I... I, I owe the doctor...
-Okay. It's fine.
875
01:23:04,532 --> 01:23:08,490
0 Dr. Mengele was terrified
with diseases, typhus in particular.
876
01:23:08,574 --> 01:23:11,228
It was common in Auschwitz,
that at any time...
877
01:23:11,312 --> 01:23:14,778
send a whole shed of
infected women, to be gassed...
878
01:23:14,862 --> 01:23:17,252
along with both barracks on the sides.
879
01:23:17,336 --> 01:23:22,854
In other words, 3,000 women
murdered by a case of typhus.
880
01:23:23,112 --> 01:23:26,104
I was sure that Marta had typhus.
881
01:23:26,552 --> 01:23:31,785
And if he had known this, we would have
for gas, all of us. Doctors and patients.
882
01:23:32,056 --> 01:23:36,469
It would come at unexpected times
ask us for blood samples.
883
01:23:36,624 --> 01:23:39,181
It wasn't the first time
that we did this. Not the last one.
884
01:23:39,265 --> 01:23:41,256
Hurry up, Gisella.
885
01:23:44,105 --> 01:23:45,776
Hurry, Giska.
886
01:23:49,521 --> 01:23:51,848
Very well, extend your arms so I can see.
887
01:23:51,931 --> 01:23:58,507
When Marta was there, the doctors, all
The five of us drew our own blood...
888
01:23:59,010 --> 01:24:02,222
and we mark the tubes with the numbers
of patients' tattoos.
889
01:24:02,391 --> 01:24:06,304
We were healthy. These other tubes
were the ones we gave to Dr. Mengele.
890
01:24:06,471 --> 01:24:09,228
-And did it work?
-Always.
891
01:24:09,311 --> 01:24:11,133
Yes, but that's not all.
892
01:24:11,217 --> 01:24:16,289
Dr. Perl saved my life
many... many times.
893
01:24:16,607 --> 01:24:20,193
-So your sister survived too?
-No.
894
01:24:20,344 --> 01:24:24,747
No. She was caught when
one day we went to get food.
895
01:24:24,831 --> 01:24:28,460
When Irma Griese struck
my Katya in my head.
896
01:24:28,544 --> 01:24:32,253
Katya. Katya, come.
897
01:24:32,337 --> 01:24:38,685
I wanted to try to bring her to Dr. Perl,
but I wasn't strong enough.
898
01:24:39,646 --> 01:24:42,365
I couldn't lift it.
899
01:24:42,449 --> 01:24:46,362
We need... Dr., Dr. Perl.
900
01:24:56,431 --> 01:24:59,170
You go up there,
and take a nice hot shower, yes?
901
01:24:59,253 --> 01:25:02,705
I have wonderful Paris bath oil.
902
01:25:02,871 --> 01:25:06,940
And while you're at it, I shop
and let's have a great dinner together.
903
01:25:07,023 --> 01:25:13,380
-Don't you mind if I stay with you?
-Oh, darling, you are a gift from God.
904
01:25:13,551 --> 01:25:18,036
-Now go. Take your bath. Go.
-Okay, okay...
905
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:21,120
KOSHER BREAD
906
01:25:31,946 --> 01:25:32,962
Gisella Perl?
907
01:25:36,701 --> 01:25:41,579
-Zozia?
-You can't serve that woman.
908
01:25:42,330 --> 01:25:48,450
Doctor. Doctor, please
my sister. He's very sick.
909
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:50,718
See?
910
01:25:51,705 --> 01:25:58,705
-No, no, she won't resist. I'm sorry, Zozia.
-You have to help her, she will die.
911
01:25:58,789 --> 01:26:02,418
She won't make it through tonight, Zozia.
Sorry. There is no place.
912
01:26:02,502 --> 01:26:05,711
Can't you please let her die here?
With some dignity?
913
01:26:05,795 --> 01:26:10,691
-See, there is nowhere.
-Please. I beg you. I beg you!
914
01:26:13,851 --> 01:26:15,906
Please, she killed my sister!
915
01:26:18,212 --> 01:26:19,968
She killed my sister!
916
01:26:20,052 --> 01:26:23,827
You are not a doctor.
You are a murderer.
917
01:26:25,771 --> 01:26:27,302
A killer!
918
01:26:28,457 --> 01:26:30,095
Get out of my way.
919
01:26:34,706 --> 01:26:36,660
Oh! Pardon!
920
01:26:39,050 --> 01:26:41,474
Madame? Do I know you?
921
01:26:43,546 --> 01:26:44,379
No.
922
01:26:46,695 --> 01:26:48,686
Have we met yet?
923
01:26:59,831 --> 01:27:03,665
-I think I saw him today.
-Who?
924
01:27:03,831 --> 01:27:06,425
Mengele. Dr Mengele.
925
01:27:07,471 --> 01:27:13,181
He looks different. and the accent
It was French, but that doesn't mean anything.
926
01:27:13,351 --> 01:27:14,749
It could be a disguise.
927
01:27:14,833 --> 01:27:19,623
-Did he dare to come to New York?
-Of course, he knew I was here.
928
01:27:19,865 --> 01:27:26,782
-Why did you come alone?
-Because... because I know.
929
01:27:28,231 --> 01:27:31,267
I know the things he did.
930
01:27:31,755 --> 01:27:37,307
I saw the experiments. I saw
the things he did to those women.
931
01:27:38,372 --> 01:27:39,752
Come. It doesn't take long.
932
01:27:39,836 --> 01:27:42,650
Just for the sake of
your interest. Come.
933
01:27:54,609 --> 01:28:01,609
In your roles, how many twins
Would you say you brought it into the world?
934
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:04,981
Don't you know?
You must know.
935
01:28:08,287 --> 01:28:15,287
-Please tell me. I like to know.
-Maybe two. Two pairs of twins.
936
01:28:15,371 --> 01:28:20,208
Have you ever had a mother
Who conceived multiple sets of twins?
937
01:28:20,292 --> 01:28:24,585
-No.
-Well then, I have a very special case for you.
938
01:28:24,669 --> 01:28:29,186
We have a woman in the gypsy camp.
She arrived pregnant... no, she's pregnant with twins,
939
01:28:29,270 --> 01:28:33,547
but...
That's what makes it very special.
940
01:28:33,631 --> 01:28:37,923
She already has identical twin children,
aged 12.
941
01:28:38,007 --> 01:28:44,441
Wonderful boys. Robust.
You should see the way they play football.
942
01:28:44,525 --> 01:28:48,798
You should see the way they steal
the chocolates in my pocket.
943
01:28:48,882 --> 01:28:53,751
Very smart guys.
I begin to have a lot of tenderness for them.
944
01:28:54,071 --> 01:29:00,351
Thus, a woman who has already had twins
now expects two more pairs of twins.
945
01:29:00,434 --> 01:29:02,306
-Impressive, isn't it?
-Yes.
946
01:29:02,389 --> 01:29:06,059
In the field gypsies provided us
Very fascinating specimens.
947
01:29:06,231 --> 01:29:11,259
We have yet to determine whether the twins
born are identical. We'll know soon.
948
01:29:11,431 --> 01:29:17,498
And when we do, how interesting
opportunity to study boys,
949
01:29:17,581 --> 01:29:22,788
and these disciplines at the same time. Big
precedent. And of course, we will also study the mother.
950
01:29:22,871 --> 01:29:26,860
She is the only one who can provide us
the key needed to reveal the magic...
951
01:29:26,944 --> 01:29:29,178
secret behind conceiving twins.
952
01:29:29,262 --> 01:29:31,938
Sorry, but there is no magic, Dr. Mengele.
953
01:29:32,022 --> 01:29:36,775
No secrets to reveal, we already
We know how things happen...
954
01:29:36,859 --> 01:29:42,933
Yes, yes, but Dr. Perl, if we could isolate
the ova of a woman who has twins...
955
01:29:43,017 --> 01:29:46,295
Could we then apply
this process in other women?
956
01:29:46,379 --> 01:29:49,732
Specifically in Aryan women?
Think about the implications, huh?
957
01:29:49,816 --> 01:29:50,523
Yes.
958
01:29:50,896 --> 01:29:55,232
What an ingenious way
of duplicating the pure Aryan race.
959
01:29:55,561 --> 01:30:00,510
So we first have to eliminate
all contaminants of Aryan blood.
960
01:30:00,935 --> 01:30:07,935
A woman of the world, with her qualifications,
its erudition, its culture...
961
01:30:08,440 --> 01:30:11,037
-without a doubt he speaks French, oui?
-Yes, I speak French well.
962
01:30:12,033 --> 01:30:15,440
Wonderful! You know, I knew we had
more in common than love of medicine.
963
01:30:16,689 --> 01:30:21,308
Even though she is a gypsy, she understands
the German language surprisingly well.
964
01:30:21,392 --> 01:30:25,749
-So, you and I, today we speak French.
-Yes, agreed.
965
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:33,279
-Voil�. doesn't she look strong?
-Yes.
966
01:30:33,363 --> 01:30:38,626
When I saw her on the platform with the twins,
I knew she was someone extraordinary.
967
01:30:38,710 --> 01:30:40,349
Two pairs of twins.
968
01:30:42,391 --> 01:30:48,108
Yes. We have to take care
Very good of you, huh?
969
01:30:48,191 --> 01:30:55,191
And... and you, you did
a very good job.
970
01:30:57,877 --> 01:31:03,430
A colleague will join us,
and go watch her...
971
01:31:05,597 --> 01:31:06,930
I have to disinfect myself.
972
01:31:08,670 --> 01:31:15,600
No, no, not you. Not you.
It is not necessary. You begin.
973
01:31:21,581 --> 01:31:26,348
Hello.
What's going to happen here today, you know?
974
01:31:26,511 --> 01:31:32,620
Yes. I'm a prisoner. I'm just here
to help me birth my babies.
975
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:33,820
Are you okay?
976
01:31:35,869 --> 01:31:39,021
What are you waiting for?
Boys, girls?
977
01:31:39,105 --> 01:31:40,382
I don't know.
978
01:31:40,466 --> 01:31:46,871
-Maybe a boy and a girl.
-Perhaps.
979
01:31:53,391 --> 01:31:55,070
All very well.
980
01:32:02,317 --> 01:32:07,144
Oh my God, what have I done?
981
01:32:07,228 --> 01:32:09,732
My God!
What did I do?
982
01:32:10,548 --> 01:32:12,533
God forgive me! God forgive me!
983
01:32:12,617 --> 01:32:14,534
Oh my God!
984
01:32:14,618 --> 01:32:16,629
What did I do?
985
01:32:16,713 --> 01:32:17,429
But you had no choice, Dr. Perl.
986
01:32:17,513 --> 01:32:20,592
You never hurt any of us.
All he did was help.
987
01:32:20,676 --> 01:32:25,057
-I'll tell you that tomorrow, Dr. Perl.
-Oh my good God, forgive me.
988
01:32:35,807 --> 01:32:40,297
We usually give you phenol injections
in the heart. It's cleaner, of course.
989
01:32:40,704 --> 01:32:44,140
Maybe it would be difficult to decide,
that was better.
990
01:32:44,224 --> 01:32:48,187
Dra. Perl,
please clean the blood in her belly,
991
01:32:48,271 --> 01:32:51,355
Us probecommates
instructions about her death.
992
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:52,809
-Death?
-Then. Yes. Quick please.
993
01:33:02,576 --> 01:33:05,090
-And put her in the truck, now.
-Sim.
994
01:33:05,174 --> 01:33:09,213
We have to be quick.
And clean this room from floor to ceiling.
995
01:33:09,297 --> 01:33:10,636
Heavens, what a mess.
996
01:33:19,506 --> 01:33:20,939
Come on, come on, come on.
997
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:25,763
Dr. Perl, You are welcome
to observe, of course.
998
01:33:25,847 --> 01:33:30,523
No. My patients.
I have to get back to them.
999
01:33:30,607 --> 01:33:31,370
As you wish.
1000
01:33:36,986 --> 01:33:41,721
Oh, my God, I will keep it pure and holy
both, my life and my heart.
1001
01:33:41,791 --> 01:33:47,946
Yes. I... I will keep pure and sacred
both, my life and my heart.
1002
01:33:48,111 --> 01:33:52,503
"And every house you enter,
I will go in to help the sick..."
1003
01:33:52,586 --> 01:33:54,348
To help the sick!
1004
01:33:54,431 --> 01:34:00,540
Yes! And I will abstain from all evil practices
that may be harmful.
1005
01:34:00,711 --> 01:34:06,438
Yes. My God. well if I,
fulfill this oath...
1006
01:34:06,521 --> 01:34:10,902
imply that not only does it win for
always, reputation among all men...
1007
01:34:10,985 --> 01:34:13,068
for my life, and for my heart.
1008
01:34:13,151 --> 01:34:17,505
"But if I transgress it
and renounce it, then..."
1009
01:34:17,588 --> 01:34:20,248
"May the opposite fall upon me."
1010
01:34:21,911 --> 01:34:25,063
May the opposite fall upon me.
1011
01:34:37,151 --> 01:34:44,062
Pap�. Daddy, forgive me, I beg you.
1012
01:34:46,151 --> 01:34:50,190
Forgive me, Daddy. Pap�.
1013
01:34:50,351 --> 01:34:55,220
� Pap�, forgive me. Pap�.
1014
01:34:55,491 --> 01:35:00,068
I did everything I could, Daddy. I promise you.
1015
01:35:00,231 --> 01:35:05,033
I promise, I tried, I tried to believe.
1016
01:35:05,467 --> 01:35:09,467
Even in that hell I tried,
so strongly believe.
1017
01:35:10,631 --> 01:35:12,923
-I beg you.
-No, please...
1018
01:35:19,471 --> 01:35:23,384
Doctor...
Doctor. Dr. Perl?
1019
01:35:23,551 --> 01:35:30,428
Dra. Perl! Of kapo
They expect me to work at around 8pm...
1020
01:35:30,591 --> 01:35:35,257
You have to wait behind the others. These
women waited for treatment all day.
1021
01:35:35,340 --> 01:35:36,435
Doctor!
1022
01:35:40,071 --> 01:35:41,027
One moment.
1023
01:35:50,871 --> 01:35:53,704
Sit down. Extend your arm.
1024
01:35:53,871 --> 01:36:00,871
Because I have nothing of my own
Will your sister die? Dr. Perl, are you listening to me?
1025
01:36:01,311 --> 01:36:06,544
Or all the bread you have received
does it clog your ears?
1026
01:36:06,711 --> 01:36:13,105
Please, my God.
My God, forgive me for Zozia.
1027
01:36:14,487 --> 01:36:15,831
My God...
1028
01:36:16,751 --> 01:36:23,751
Forgive me for denying help to those
who had nothing to give me.
1029
01:36:24,351 --> 01:36:27,421
I was just trying to live.
1030
01:36:27,591 --> 01:36:29,103
Is it a crime to want to live?
1031
01:36:33,031 --> 01:36:36,911
Do you want to live?
Do you want to live Giska?
1032
01:36:36,994 --> 01:36:38,389
Yes.
1033
01:36:40,671 --> 01:36:45,346
Listen to me. Listen.
1034
01:36:45,511 --> 01:36:51,062
As a doctor, you are incredible, Giska.
A miracle for us.
1035
01:36:51,231 --> 01:36:56,305
Yes, we laugh at you when
you speak of your soirées there in Sighet.
1036
01:36:56,471 --> 01:37:00,259
Recite poems to them and sing to them
songs, while you see them die.
1037
01:37:00,431 --> 01:37:04,902
All I have to deal with them are words,
Ruth. Not medicines. Just words are everything.
1038
01:37:05,071 --> 01:37:12,071
Words or medicines, Giska, all
they will all die. And so do we.
1039
01:37:12,471 --> 01:37:15,160
No, no, no. You don't understand.
The minute you lose...
1040
01:37:15,243 --> 01:37:17,708
hope, is the minute
where you begin to die, my friend.
1041
01:37:17,791 --> 01:37:18,867
As?
1042
01:37:18,950 --> 01:37:24,387
Giska, how can we maintain hope,
if we have already given our souls?
1043
01:37:24,551 --> 01:37:28,878
-I didn't deliver anything.
-Why do you live in this fantasy world?
1044
01:37:28,961 --> 01:37:32,905
-What are you talking about?
-Giska, look at what you have become.
1045
01:37:33,071 --> 01:37:35,767
-How dare you accuse me?
-Shhh! Shhh!
1046
01:37:35,850 --> 01:37:40,099
We will see how brave you are, when
Mengele selected you to take you...
1047
01:37:40,271 --> 01:37:43,149
-I'm not accusing you of anything.
-Yes, you are accusing me.
1048
01:37:43,256 --> 01:37:47,066
Listen to what I say. They will take us
everyone to the gas chambers.
1049
01:37:47,149 --> 01:37:49,664
I refuse the gas chamber.
1050
01:37:49,831 --> 01:37:55,460
I will not die here. Did you hear me?
1051
01:37:55,631 --> 01:37:59,188
No. I refuse.
1052
01:37:59,271 --> 01:38:04,704
I refuse gas.
1053
01:38:05,791 --> 01:38:08,783
I refuse.
1054
01:38:10,713 --> 01:38:12,932
I refuse!-
I didn't want to die.
1055
01:38:16,951 --> 01:38:18,463
I didn't want to die, Papá.
1056
01:38:18,511 --> 01:38:20,140
I remember I wanted
being a doctor when I was little.
1057
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:24,135
And I became a doctor.
1058
01:38:24,751 --> 01:38:27,267
A very good doctor.
If I may say so.
1059
01:38:27,431 --> 01:38:34,431
I know these children I helped
to bring to the world, they were a gift.
1060
01:38:35,711 --> 01:38:39,670
Not mine, but God's.
1061
01:38:40,751 --> 01:38:44,497
But everything changed when I was deported
to Auschwitz...
1062
01:38:44,580 --> 01:38:47,299
and then I started
work there as a doctor.
1063
01:38:47,911 --> 01:38:53,031
Do you know some things that
I did it there, for pregnant women.
1064
01:38:53,191 --> 01:38:57,867
But, yes, I also sent it,
due to ignorance...
1065
01:38:58,031 --> 01:39:03,344
many women to death
the day after my arrival.
1066
01:39:03,511 --> 01:39:09,665
And, yes, some of the things I did there...
1067
01:39:10,331 --> 01:39:15,588
Some procedures I underwent
forced to use it...
1068
01:39:15,751 --> 01:39:20,027
they were not honorable.
1069
01:39:20,747 --> 01:39:25,901
So you're right.
I have blood on my hands.
1070
01:39:26,162 --> 01:39:33,162
And believe me, I see it as clearly as
you can see this tattoo here on my arm.
1071
01:39:33,791 --> 01:39:37,093
Both of them will identify me forever,
as having been a doctor in Auschwitz.
1072
01:39:37,177 --> 01:39:42,691
Not only to the outside world, but...
for myself.
1073
01:39:46,269 --> 01:39:51,270
And I know it's very difficult
for you to understand, gentlemen...
1074
01:39:53,155 --> 01:39:56,510
not having been there. but it's the truth...
1075
01:39:56,671 --> 01:40:00,425
I just did what
I had to do it to survive.
1076
01:40:00,509 --> 01:40:07,509
Those of us who didn't survive, perhaps
in a way, be the best of us.
1077
01:40:08,743 --> 01:40:09,913
My family.
1078
01:40:13,538 --> 01:40:16,896
Frederick, my husband.
My mother and my father.
1079
01:40:17,621 --> 01:40:23,934
David, all my brothers.
Imre, my son.
1080
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:29,530
They will not join me here.
There will be no return home for them.
1081
01:40:35,268 --> 01:40:42,268
So why did you allow me
Does God survive? Nobody knows.
1082
01:40:43,939 --> 01:40:50,376
I have to believe it was so I could
help bring more children into the world.
1083
01:40:50,460 --> 01:40:53,173
Free children.
Children with possibilities to live.
1084
01:40:53,257 --> 01:40:56,713
Understand, if I could help
a Jewish child coming into the world...
1085
01:40:56,686 --> 01:40:59,171
and she grew up to have children
and they had children,
1086
01:40:59,254 --> 01:41:03,840
then the Nazis wouldn't have
defeated. Do you understand this? Yes?
1087
01:41:04,005 --> 01:41:08,202
A million innocent children
were killed by Mengele.
1088
01:41:08,286 --> 01:41:10,929
I want to bring a million
of children to the world.
1089
01:41:11,013 --> 01:41:14,311
Until the day I die,
I have to help rebuild...
1090
01:41:14,395 --> 01:41:17,247
what the Nazis tried so hard to destroy.
1091
01:41:17,331 --> 01:41:19,248
Please gentlemen, allow me to do
That's it, here in America. because...
1092
01:41:19,332 --> 01:41:26,282
If I cannot, then believe me.
God shouldn't have allowed me to live.
1093
01:41:28,523 --> 01:41:30,241
Please.
1094
01:41:43,460 --> 01:41:48,898
-What's going on?
-The Russians are here. The Russians are here.
1095
01:41:59,589 --> 01:42:00,898
Simon...
1096
01:42:00,982 --> 01:42:07,982
Simone, your baby is free, Simone.
1097
01:42:08,878 --> 01:42:12,996
Your baby is free.
1098
01:42:16,344 --> 01:42:22,623
The first baby to
born free in Auschwitz.
1099
01:42:35,951 --> 01:42:38,677
Despite some of its
actions during prison...
1100
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:40,597
may be questionable...
1101
01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:41,942
his intentions were not.
1102
01:42:42,431 --> 01:42:44,769
These actions were continually
focused on your survival...
1103
01:42:44,852 --> 01:42:46,488
and survival
of the women in your care.
1104
01:42:46,571 --> 01:42:50,355
We therefore approve
your citizenship application.
1105
01:42:50,438 --> 01:42:52,548
Dr. Perl, your secretary
just called. She said...
1106
01:42:52,631 --> 01:42:55,258
Olga, wait for me.
I'll be there in half an hour.
1107
01:42:55,341 --> 01:42:56,567
She said it was an emergency.
A woman is...
1108
01:42:56,650 --> 01:43:00,822
going into labor. I have it here
your things. You can go immediately.
1109
01:43:00,905 --> 01:43:02,185
Olga, send the woman here.
1110
01:43:02,268 --> 01:43:05,748
Olga said she doesn't want to go to the
hospital. She is terrified of hospitals.
1111
01:43:05,831 --> 01:43:10,222
She lives on the Lower East Side. Apparently,
this woman knows her, from Sighet.
1112
01:43:11,271 --> 01:43:13,104
Oh my God.
1113
01:43:16,784 --> 01:43:19,104
Thanks. Thanks.
1114
01:43:36,979 --> 01:43:38,124
Thanks.
1115
01:43:43,831 --> 01:43:45,824
-Dr. Perl?
-Yes!
1116
01:43:46,021 --> 01:43:48,419
Up here.
Up here.
1117
01:43:48,703 --> 01:43:49,932
Oh my God!
1118
01:43:52,110 --> 01:43:56,485
Quick! My wife, please.
Up here.
1119
01:43:57,091 --> 01:44:00,159
-Where is she?
-It's here. She talked about you all day.
1120
01:44:00,271 --> 01:44:05,148
-Do you have an apron?
-Yes, here. hmm...
1121
01:44:05,556 --> 01:44:07,568
-Here. Light. Light.
-Thanks.
1122
01:44:07,651 --> 01:44:09,467
She's here.
1123
01:44:10,711 --> 01:44:15,102
Boil some water. Arrange
clean sheets and warm them. Quickly.
1124
01:44:20,751 --> 01:44:24,584
Here's your Dr. Perl.
Here she is.
1125
01:44:25,834 --> 01:44:32,834
Leiku! Oh, Leiku! we have a lot of time to
cry, Leiku. We have work to do, don't we?
1126
01:44:36,791 --> 01:44:41,606
Breathe slowly.
Breathe deeply and calmly. That's right.
1127
01:44:41,689 --> 01:44:43,695
Breathe. Breathe.
1128
01:44:44,019 --> 01:44:46,916
God help me. I must be
capable of bringing life back today.
1129
01:45:05,311 --> 01:45:08,779
A gift, Leiku.
1130
01:45:09,371 --> 01:45:13,566
A gift from God.
Finally.
1131
01:45:13,711 --> 01:45:17,462
Dr. Gisella Perl passed
making a flourishing...
1132
01:45:17,545 --> 01:45:20,159
private practice in New York City.
1133
01:45:20,242 --> 01:45:24,024
Bringing more than 2,000 babies into the world
before emigrating to Israel in 1981.
1134
01:45:26,271 --> 01:45:29,265
Once in Israel he worked at the
Shaare Zedec Hospital in Jerusalem.
1135
01:45:29,431 --> 01:45:30,384
Died in 1988.
