Unterscharfuhrer Mahler, sir general.

The ghetto of Terezin HQ awaits your orders.

Obersturmbannfuhrer begs you

to welcome you at the transport rails.

Thank you, drive on.

Attention!

I hope there will be no rain, Obersturmbannfuhrer.

I hope it'll be ok, we were rehearsing yesterday.

Wonderful.

You're at the U kovarny street. The bank has enough of ghetto money.

Heil Hitler, general!

Let me introduce...

Fantastic! Very convincing idea...

Now I understand what the ss chief had on his mind

Everyone will see what injustice they did to us.

When they wanted to put blood on our hands.

A jewish film. The world will be surprised.

I'm so happy. Finally I'm at the spa of Terezin.

Fuhrer gave the whole city to the Jews.

We are quite well in Terezin.

We miss nothing here.

Amateurish, but trusty.

Assistent, don't forget to buy the fishing sticks.

I beg you...

...not so dry.

So please, do it again, think you'll help someone, me perhaps.

Bring me the director, I'd like to see him.

- Director! - A stinking Jew, Kurt Izrael Geron, general.

I'm very curious about your film...

Children, everyone is taken by the camera. So be joyful...

I'm doing very good in Terezin. I don't miss anything...

Transport from Paradise

Up and down again the ship is swinging with us.

We're getting the seasick, it's very bad with us.

Attention!

Clean the square!

What stock is this?

Sheep from Lidice.

- A bank here...? - Is someone filming?

No, it's a real one.

Who has figured it out?

- The reichsfuhrer SS. - Please...

Continue...

Geez...

The cat has to be here.

Lizinka... puss, puss...

Liza...

Gentlemen I'm confused... Do you have her?

Let the cat be, Datel, it'll bring bad luck.

He might send us into the little fortress.

Yes, but first mr. Marmusta has to catch us, smarty.

Come you Marmoustal's beast...

I wouldn't have to know how well you taste.

She'll bring us bad luck.

Come on... Stop it, Mylord.

They say someone with a Nobel prize is here again.

The one who invented aspirin.

Vagus has some prominent lady, also from an inventor or so.

- He counted something through. - So...?

Have you ever heard the name Robert Pick? A world class at math.

When he came, he was employed at the central evidence immediately.

Do you know what it means?

That as long as Vagus is alright with his hag

he'll never go to a transport.

Attention!

Gentlemen, we're stealing here and over us a marshal is straddling.

Vagus knows this, he walks in smoking even here, because she can get him by her husband with the ticket.

Such an asshole on women you won't be even if you'd shit yourself.

Let it be, Danny.

- Give me that. - Thanks, Vagus.

What are you doing here?

Filming.

Liza...

Everything is directed by Geron. And he plays himself.

Tell me Vagus, who can reach it.

Look...

He was

very famous.

You weren't told you at Prague you have to greet an officer?

I'll take care of cleaning your brain here.

Kurt Leschner, general, at the overtake of the transport C!

Thanks.

With the approval of the reichsfuhrer SS

we're trying politics of a cooperation.

According to your commands too

politics of sugar and a whip could be used at other camps too.

Quite a big thing.

Everything at the ghetto executes the autonomy.

Of course, according to our wishes and advices.

They pick even the transports, we only give them numbers.

In some sense they have their own government.

They're responsible in front of the God...

We intervene only when their jewish state

starts to be alike a jewish school.

Pregnancy is strictly prohibited.

As a punishment, the guilty is sent into the little fortress or to the transport.

The mortality is 300 people per day. In the natural way.

I'm glad I can see everything through my own eyes.

The international Red Cross has asked for permission to visit.

I believe I can allow it now.

Terezin is a city

which was given to the Jews by Adolf Hitler!

The general ordered you to come.

We saw at the eastern front with the fuhrer

real heroism of our soldiers...

and what I see in Terezin? Bolshevick slogans!

On my command, you'll send a new transport tomorrow.

You're personally responsible for an inspection of the block H4!

You can go.

Do you want something else?

The head of the comittee of elders is waiting outside.

Have you brought the transport lists?

Speak in German!

Yes, general.

Has the comitte of elders assemble them?

As always, general.

You forgot to sign it.

I won't sign it this time.

There's gas where the transports end.

Nonsense. There are factories at Birkenau.

We need new workers. Germany is growing!

This transport will go without my sign.

You've got these stories from the people who hang the posters.

On the block H4? Sign it!

We have explained it to you. You have no proof.

And you cover those who give you the messages.

What is happening at H4 you don't know neither.

What number does the bunker have?

- Line no. 4, general. - Thanks.

Bunker?

You can go.

Don't you find it comical, your political cooperation?

Let my dear Ignaz Marmulstaub come.

The transport lists has to be returned tomorrow.

There are not enough forms again.

There's enough, moreover they're not valid anyway.

Every transport has to have an ordinary number.

The holidays are gone again.

Stop!

Up and down again, the ship is swinging with us.

We're getting seasick, it's very bad with us.

Tell to the chiefs of the blocks that tomorrow goes a transport.

Lowenbach refused to sign.

He was imprisoned in the bunker.

Bring to the block H4 the message from the connection at Bohusovice.

Clean the square!

The connection at Bohusovice claims the Soviet army is approaching Auschwitz.

The liberation will come in a few days.

- Mr. Spiegel. - Yes, mr. Spiegel, personally.

Please.

I hope they'll come in handy.

Mr. Spiegel? What's in there for me?

Dear mrs. Feiner, everyone could say that.

But whom?

- You will never be better, will you? - Definitely not, in my age...

It's said some big pot has arrived, is everything alright?

Yes, you can be completely calm, mrs. Feiner.

Mrs. Spiegel... Oh yes, I dream sometimes...

Ignac Marmulstaub, you will represent

chief of the elder's comittee with all his authority.

If there aren't any objections from the elder's comittee...

But, Marmulstaub...

We're not in a parliament here.

It's only that I don't decide alone. Mr. Lowenbach said

that at the end of the transport there are gas chambers.

Communists are spreading that.

If you are spreading that we'll have to stop that.

That sounds better... Sit down, little Marmulstaub.

Thank you, general.

We're old acquaintances...

Where did we see each other last time?

In Vienna... in 1939.

Oh, Vienna... Such places you can meet someone.

Finally, just one formality. A command of an SS reichfuhrer.

There has to be a sign of the chief of the elder's comittee on the list.

Do you want perhaps to speak with Lowenbach?

Prepare a list of men and women, 2000 persons each.

You can pick them yourself.

Who is needed, stays.

You can go, little Marmulstaub...

Goot efening, ms. Lizolota.

Good day.

Fery nise day, isn't it?

We hafe to make eferything goot, hafen't we?

Life is to short for nise things.

Maybe it's for the best to hide and don't come out.

Nobody knows what could happen.

What could happen? Eferything happened already.

Could I help you somehow?

No thanks, just female troubles...

And I don't know what to take with myself anyway...

If you'd be with me, you wouldn't hafe to worry.

In my office today... Actually, not eferyone will go to the transport.

Someone has to stay, right?

Little Lizolota...

Thank you. I have to go.

There will be a transport!

Mr. Marmelstaub, a moment, please.

They said there will be a transport.

Mr. Lowenbach didn't return from the commandature, he didn't sign something.

Did he announce something before he left to commandature?

- They say he's interrogated at the bunker. - Mr., are you interrogating me?

- If only it would be a working transports... - If I knew, I'd announce it.

I'm only a human, I really don't know.

- They say women will go to. - I don't know! Leave me alone!

I already told you, I don't know anything!

Toad!

Rat!

Herr Obersturmbahnfuhrer!

Halt!

Where do you come from, Jew?

Did you smoke?

Put everything out of pockets.

Breathe at me.

- Let's move on, Binde. - We're here.

The block H4.

Quiet! We'll begin at the second floor.

Stop! We have to cut him off.

Stop!

- Bende, where are you? - Here, Herr Obersturmbannfuhrer.

- Bende! - Here, Herr Obersturmbannfuhrer!

Up! Search all the rooms!

Binde, they escaped through that door.

How many doors are there here?

Lock down.

Search throughout all.

- Did you find anything? - No.

Herr Obersturmfuhrer...

Here. To me.

I've got it Binde.

The printer! Stinking Jews!

Am I to read you something, Binde? ...pretend to be sick...

Work slowly, Soviet army is at Auschwitz.

A radio has to be here. Binde, search throughout everything!

Elisabeth Sarah... Shut up you stinking Jew!

You old hag who were working here?

Who printed the leaflets? Names!

Where is our dead?

Would you recognize him, Binde?

I think I would...

We have to find him. Halt!

A lost soul, right?

Bring the Jew to the bunker. Beat everything of her.

Leave me the bike! Dismissed!

Jawohl... Let's go!

Silence! Is the count right?

- Yes, officer. - Count once again! Dismissed!

I don't want to be tortured.

I'm an old woman.

You hadn't a mother?

Don't lead me on.

Shoot now.

I know that to maintain Terezin isn't a small job.

But there has to be an order here.

No one can wage a war without a discipline. We were taught that in the school.

I've got letters from the commander of Auschwitz on my table in Berlin.

21 men are missing in your transports.

I will do everything what is in my power...

I knew your father. He had the right Prussian blood.

Your father, it was Germany.

If you weren't his son, I wouldn't be so considerate...

But next time the count has to be right.

Yes, general.

Tomorrow, there'll be general counting.

There is enough room around, let all the ghetto come.

Mr. Silan, come to the Hamburger barracks.

Ms. Lieselotte Grab lives there.

Tell her that me, the chief of the comittee of elders, ask her to come...

- Danny! - What's up?

Get Kuzle!

Kuzle!

- Kuzle! -What's up? - Datel.

Get up, come. Look.

You go to the Hamburg barracks, get Lizinka, and tell her to come in the evening.

- Why? - That's why.

2000, 3000... Hamburg barracks...

- 19 and 6 is 26... - 25.

What did she say?

She said she's not like that.

That she has to get up for counting at four in the morning.

Will there really be a selection, Herr Marmelstaub?

Yes, my friend, but it won't concern you...

Feed the cat and go to sleep.

The cat is gone, possibly she's looking for a partner.

Good night.

Grab Lieselotte...

- Hi Liza. - Hi Anna. - Hi Stepan.

- Hi Liza. - Where do you go, Vagus?

Where would I go, don't you know?

Oh, you haven't heard there's a famous mathematician in the city, Robert Pick.

And his hag invited me for a dinner.

- And you like mrs. Pick, Vagus? - Are you crazy?

C'mon...

- You won't go to the transport... - It'll surely be only for work. - I love you...

Keep my fur gloves, after the war I could use them.

Maybe something will happen, maybe there won't be enough wagons...

It'll surely be only for the work, so don't worry about me.

I'm so affraid, I wasn't so affraid when mum and dad or my roommates went there.

We will have everything after the war, common flat, the curtains you told me about...

And there will be a white empire bed in the corner.

- And we both will always sing to the baby... - Yes...

- And if something bad would happen... - No... - Believe me...

Hold me like this for a long time...

Hello, boys.

We've invited you, Liza, because the transport goes tomorrow and us too

and after that we maybe never...

We really like you here and...

I wanted to play you something...

We caught a cat, you know, so I thought a cutlet or so...

Hi, Liza...

Yeah, boys, mr. Marmulstaub invited me too.

- Where are the others? - They went to a concert.

So, play something, Danny.

How many of you?

Zrzek.

Lock down.

Danny.

Milan.

Kuzle, don't be stupid.

The cat was called Liza, Liza.

Datel.

Datel...

- Stepan, you'll never return... - I will. - Everyone left, mum, dad, sister...

First they stole everything, now they murder. You can't go, they'll kill you...

They killed everyone, I know it.

Be reasonable, my dear, don't cry, Anicka...

Silly, open your eyes...

Stepan, I don't have anyone in the world, I don't have mum, dad, sister, now you...

We'll see each other again. I'll give you the fur gloves then...

- Stepan... - Yes...?

Look, give me your papers, Stepan!

What are you staring at? Give me your papers, I'll give you mine.

Who has these papers, is not to be dismissed from this town by mrs. Pick.

Do it! I'll have a ride with the boys tomorrow.

Bye! Bye!

Stepan...!

Mrs. Pick!

Finally, you're here.

Look, Herr Ober...

Dear, you're finally here.

Kuzle!

Kuzle!

Kuzle.

- Whom do you write to? - Home.

- Do you still have someone at home? - Yes.

- Your a half-blood? - Can I read it to you, Liza?

Yes.

Parents, we're going somewhere, but don't worry, I'm an adult now.

Everyone is very nice to me here and calls me Kuzle.

I don't know where we're going, but that doesn't matter.

That's 27 words.

I can add three more.

So, write "Dear parents" and sign yourself.

- Write... - Thank you, Liza.

The state before leaving for counting.

62 353 stinking Jews.

59984 left the ghetto, 192 mad ones remained.

2156 sick, 21 perished during the march.

Reporting by Unterscharfuhrer Mahler.

Surprisingly it agrees.

Open the gate.

Now we'll look throughout it.

Continue!

Our dead is still alive.

First there'll be an assembly, then we'll do the counting.

Let's go.

Quickly...

Attention!

Go on!

We know each other.

Yes, yesterday, the block H4.

Who is missing?

Mrs. Feiner. I'm keeping her place she surely will come.

- Our dead, Binde? - Not found.

Attention!

Representing the chief of the comittee of elders

I report 59 984 stinking Jews...

Will you let me show you the transport?

Thanks a lot.

Show me todays' transport.

Yes, officer.

Bring todays' transport.

Men only.

You'll be famous at Auschwitz.

Quicker!

Quicker, move! Get up!

Let's see who do we have here.

I'll deal with you, c'mon...

Stop with the transport. Start counting again.

Like sheep, like sheep, like sheep... Never more like sheep...

Like sheep, like sheep, like sheep...

Everyone to the wall! Turn around!

This doesn't belong to you, right?

Haven't you seen it? Pockets out! Move...

Where did you find it? From whom? Who printed it?

Pigs! Kill you all, pigs!

- Halt! Who did write it? - Russians!

Look throughout everything! Bring me the results to my office.

Lowenbach, it's over.

We've found the printer, we've got your middle man and the whole band.

There is a transport in a few hours and you're leaving with it.

You know what awaits you.

I know, gas chambers, crematoria...

But I also know that you'll lose the war.

The whole world goes against you, officer.

You're not affraid of us, Lowenbach?

We've lost one war and now we're a master of the history again.

We can remind people their fear...

The world history proves that tyrants always fall.

I wouldn't concern with them, general.

The prominents were chosen by Marmulstaub for the transport.

You're here for a few years. I only for a day. I'm interested in them.

They asked for an audience, so let them have one.

Stinking Jew Georg Izrael Gradnauer

- Reichsminister and saxon ministerial chief... - Amazing...

Stinking Jew Leon Izrael Meyer...

- What did you do? - French minister of business and navy transit.

A minister and can't speak.

- Georg von Rosenthal... - And before 1939?

Generalmayor.

What are you doing in Terezin?

I pull horse-hair from saddles, general.

On my order you'll take him out of the transport.

Bring the number to the transport.

Jawohl, Her Obersturmbannfuhrer.

Number 41 was take out of the transport on the general's order.

Come, come...

Quicker!

Never like sheep anymore! Never like sheep anymore!

Get rid of it! Continue!

The transport GH to Birkenau ready for a departure.

Thanks.

Thanks, I was very satisfied with the visit.

You can await the Danish Red Cross in three weeks.

We will fulfill their wish...

Pity, I won't welcome them personally, but you'll handle it.

Surely...

Karl, bring the champagne, sandwiches and salad.
