THOSE WHO DO NOT REMEMBER THE PAST THEY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT

BASED ON A REAL STORY

� what happens to who tries to run away from my camp!

I'M BACK!

THE AUSCHWITZ PROTOCOL

Get up!

Come everybody! Get up quickly!

Get up!

I want everyone up!

REGISTRY

Get up! Fast!

Judging by your number, it's here about a week ago?

Sorry, I don't understand.

How long have you been here? One week?

Where's your bowl?

-They stole me. -When did you last eat?

Three days ago.

The inspector won't give me food unless I have a bowl.

Wash with tea. you will get typhus because of the water.

And shave daily. Get something sharp.

You will be healthier with red cheeks.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name;

come to your kingdom,

-Your will be done... - Hurry up!

-There are two more in there. -Let me write down your numbers first.

Hurry up! Fast!

Herszek!

Have all the jobs been filled?

I have 300 volunteers and only 150 places available.

Let's go!

APRIL 7, 1944, AUSCHWITZ - BIRKENEU DAY ONE

Name!

Slovak? Name.

Alfred Wetzler.

-Occupation? -I used to be a cabinetmaker.

Shalom, Jews!

First agenda:

forget your names.

Names are ballast.

The numbers are exact.

Unmistakable.

You Jews know a little about numbers, isn't it?

The German Reich

It's built on rules and order.

And so it will be for the next thousand years.

You came here to serve the Reich...

be loyal to the Reich,

Obey him.

There is no second chance here.

They must surrender.

You must kneel to the Reich!

Welcome to Auschwitz!

Let's go!

Prisoner 44070, sir!

Number!

Prisoner 20962.

Tent nine.

I'm reporting for work.

On the ground!

Raise!

Get down!

Raise...

get down,

raise!

-What was that? - He was kidding me. Here, get it!

-Push it! -Calm!

Why did it take so long?

-Stay steady. -Don't worry about us.

We're already dead.

Just worry about your life!

Good luck!

Here goes the usual farce.

-Valer, what took so long? -I came as soon as I could.

everyone is in a cold sweat because of the inspection.

I got some gold

with the girls from Canada. I'll trade it for the clocks.

These are the numbers for January.

Yesterday's transport is gone.

I didn't make it to Sonderkommando.

They are still sleeping.

They must have exploded all over that transport through the chimneys.

It comes from the bowls they throw.

It wouldn't completely peel, so I took the rest.

Valer, what is this number?

- Where did you stop? -On here.

January twenty-eight: French 3000,

Dutch 600, Polish 2000.

Understood? January so far: 93400.

-He understood? -Yea.

That's 3012 every day.

Every hour there are 125.

Two every minute.

You must take this evidence for important people in Slovakia.

Important people will send planes.

And these planes will blow this place up into oblivion.

So that everything turns to ash and smoke.

Ash and smoke.

Yes.

What's going on with barracks nine?

Do I have to count them myself?

What's the problem with barracks nine?

Is someone missing...

Everything was fine when we left the barracks.

Get moving!

Herr Lagerfhrer,

a prisoner is missing.

Quarantine Block B-II A.

what do you mean by "is missing"?

He is lying somewhere in face down on the ground.

Keep looking.

Keep looking! Quarantine block! Get moving.

Herr Lagerfhrer,

the prisoner from barracks nine disappeared.

Two scribes are missing. Numbers 29162 and 44070. Slovaks.

Who saw the clerk at the barracks today?

Who saw you run away?

Block inspector!

-Prisoner number 2043... -What?

Prisoner number 20432!

I don't know anything.

Please believe me!

I last saw him this morning.

He got up early, as usual.

he took his book of death and went to the bathroom.

That's all I know, I swear. Please believe me.

I swear...

The best way to find truffles

� starving the pig.

As long as I don't see those two Jews kneeling here

with the halter around his necks. All of you will stay here. Understood?

Search every quarter on this block.

If you don't find them,

go again to all the barracks, except nine. In front of!

Right!

We'll start with 25 lashes.

So we'll see what else he can remember!

No please...

I don't know anything. Please believe me!

I don't know anything.

Please!

No please. No...

Damn Eastern Front.

"For the country".

Crap!

He died yesterday.

My only child.

Twenty one years old.

This whole matter is making my stomach churn.

You, the camp,

this whole damn country!

On here.

Look?

How handsome he was!

See.

Look at him!

My poor wife...

O!

Shit!

Fucking mess...

how long ago Are the prisoners here?

Since the summer of 1942.

Crap!

They saw more than you, Kaduk.

Do you understand?

They must not pass.

Do you understand?

Now go!

Switch with me.

I got it in the kitchen before the round.

Pass it on.

DAY TWO

This way!

Come here.

Sit down.

On here.

Ten times...

I thought about killing you last night. Ten times.

I was following.

It saw?

Because you helped someone to get up...

because I was passing the bread of my life...

filling your bowels...

It was my fault.

In German we will call it of "taking advantage".

Take advantage.

You are a good person, right?

You were Franciscan.

I still am.

while you were feeding your friends,

I had to think about my dead son.

I felt like sending three bullets by his stomach.

Do you know why I didn't?

How did those two get away?

Do you think they will make it, but it's wrong.

They're already dead, they just don't know it yet.

I'll put them on chairs tonight.

The villagers will give up on them,

and if they don't,

they will keep running until they fell face first in the shit.

death comes first

for those who remain in the same place.

Whatever.

I know they had help.

And you like to help people.

That's why two people are going to die today.

This is the only reason that you will distribute from now on.

But you can save them.

Leave me!

Watch out!

Stopped!

Give me what I ask and can go back to the barracks.

are you willing to pass for all this, for two Slovak Jews?

Your daughter is in the women's section, right?

What?

Did you think I didn't know?

You think I don't know the what's going on in your chicken brain?

Ester...

Ester! Let me go!

-Silence! -Let me go!

You won't help her like that.

Please don't!

She spoke Slovak,

not Polish!

Didn't you hear her scream?

It doesn't matter!

This girl was Slovak! She couldn't be your daughter!

If they brought the other girl here,

his daughter is already dead.

DAY THREE

Send barracks nine back to work!

-Go! Get moving! -Get in line! In front of!

Get moving!

Get moving!

What are we waiting for?

Let's go out one by one or all at once, what's the difference?

There are more of us.

We'll get three of those bastards out, if we save the dogs.

Hold tight.

When it lights up.

Hang in there.

Piece of shit!

Move yourself!

Be quick!

Hey!

You owe me ten cigarettes.

That!

Push!

Remove the outer protective strap!

Rows of five!

Why are you doing this?

Do you think you're proving something here?

To whom?

To me?

Yourself?

Even a monkey can stand up!

Did I say something funny?

Funny?

-No way. -No!

-No! -Are you laughing?

-No! -Yea?

-Do you think I'm funny? -No!

He was castrated by Dr. Thilo.

I was talking to you!

I see morale is falling into the trash.

you need to be reminded of where are the kennels.

Come here.

Come.

Them! Move it! Go around the barracks.

Them!

Come on!

Stop!

U-turn.

I said turn around!

Will you beg?

I will mention this

in my memories,

that I will write after the war

on my farm somewhere near the Black Sea.

What about you, funny guy?

Where do you think you'll be?

At where?

Behind every corner,

in every shadow,

always close.

Shit.

Fuck!

Come back!

Go to the barracks!

Send for the driver. I need a lighter!

Push!

Does it feel like I'm holding back?

It won't budge...

I will not die here!

I'm not fucking dying here!

Push!

Push!

Wait!

They pulled the guards. Come.

There are no more fences.

Potatoes...

Potatoes with sauerkraut.

Must be the berries.

Worth!

Worth!

Worth!

we are about two or three days from the border.

If we go straight.

If we turn around,

it will be another two or three.

Thanks for the shoe.

-What's wrong? -The other tube.

I must have dropped it. It's not here.

I lost.

They're going to the border, right?

It's not far.

But it's quite a walk, even with healthy feet.

It's them.

On here.

Our guys took out some Germans.

They had no more use for them.

My brother in law.

Eat.

He knows these sides well. He can take you.

That won't work.

Don't limp. your body needs get used to the pain.

Straighten up.

Good.

Stay.

DAY 11

you want to go now or after sunset?

They will have processed three transports before sunset.

Freddy!

Freddy, get up!

-Good Morning. -Easy boy.

Come and have breakfast.

Thanks.

Here, take it.

-Praise the Lord. -Amen.

He is one of us. you couldn't ask for better coverage.

Take care.

And good luck in Zilina.

Come.

Welcome, gentlemen.

Unfortunately, Mr. Warren Red Cross could not attend today.

Hope tomorrow.

In the meantime, we'll ask you questions.

Much has been said about the fields.

I'm glad you finally can shed a light on all "rumors".

Thanks.

Well, how hard was it to get out of Auschwitz?

Me...

I don't know...

What do you expect us to do?

I thought you were the resistance.

If you're asking us what to do, so we came to the wrong place.

you need to understand, we don't have that kind of influence.

-We're just... -Wait until tomorrow.

if you want to take this for someone important,

need to convince Warren.

But,

there is a way

by which we can help you.

DAY 22

You are late!

Two days, six hours and fifteen minutes.

Can you imagine how many lives cost so far?

see the problem that we had to go through...

I told you, 27125.

-Would you like a coffee, sir? -With milk and three sugars.

-Yea! -Thanks.

Yes, this is for our friends.

What is this?

Go ahead.

Don't be shy.

Humanitarian Aid.

To all Germans in the fields.

As you may recognize, we ship

more than 400,000 of those for Auschwitz alone.

About

two tons of medicine, clothes,

-Food... -But no prisoner even saw it.

Did you happen to read the report?

I read some excerpts on my way to the airport

and in your report it says that...

People transported to Theresienstadt were attacked with gas.

March 8, 4:30 am.

There were 3,800 people.

Most of them children.

These are postcards and letters

written by several people that were on that transport.

they were sent to relatives several weeks

after the authors supposedly had been killed in the gas showers.

please forgive me if that's not the term.

We all have to write.

Postcards and letters, like these.

And the SS guards then fill in the dates to send later.

Even who was about to be killed with gas I had to write them down.

And as far as I know, the mail is controlled by the occupying government.

"Don't worry, we're fine."

"We haven't been in charge yet of some work,

but we will get work in our field".

"We will leave in a few days,

we're together, the kids are fine. Hope to see you again".

Should I continue?

You can take this.

Let me talk about my dilemma.

On one side there are sources like Doctor Gawitz.

A respectable colleague of mine at the German Red Cross.

And on the other you.

Two young guys,

motivated by

resentment at having been relocated.

We need evidence.

Here's your evidence.

Look! March 23, thousand Jewish girls from Slovakia.

March thirtieth, one thousand one hundred and twelve people from Paris.

From August 15th to 17th,

eight thousand Jews from Sosnowiec, all killed with gas.

And even the Germans confirm that on March 8, 1944

there were three thousand and eight hundred people in Theresienstadt.

But the previous October, when they arrived,

there were 5,007 people.

so what happened between these two periods?

Or do you think 1270 people die in five months is normal?

It's a fact that the fields were struggling with a typhoid epidemic.

But it was the German Red Cross� which helped prevent more deaths.

And it was your friend Gawitz who said that, no?

Because he's a Nazi.

If he wasn't, he wouldn't have

-such a high position. -You are sending milk

and the prisoners there are in the urine itself.

You are sending bath soap and they have to take it with lard.

Your help hasn't saved a single life.

Not even the flies devouring

the clothes, the bodies and the skin of the older ones that are still there.

You've seen this before, haven't you? It's a "soap."

You know what that is, don't you?

how reliable do you think the information in this report is?

Some parts of the report

were compiled by the men who are in charge or working in the furnaces.

And some parts come from the logbooks of the fields,

but they only have details of large transports, of the largest.

about a year ago we gained Dr. Gerbles' consent.

We ship several observation committees for the camps.

They should report if

the strangely high death rate that came from the foreign press

it was based on truth.

They didn't find anything.

And this was around the end of 1943?

Because, on the day, I remember that everything at Auschwitz it seemed perfectly normal.

And even the furnaces were off,

but in Birkenau, people they continued to be killed with gas.

As always.

Are you saying they arrived?

They didn't return that day.

We were informed by German Red Cross that...

-That they died adversely... -No.

the administrators of the fields make sure

that they only saw what they wanted to show.

I don't know if they met a prisoner who spoke of Birkenau,

or if they wanted to see for themselves,

but they were killed there that day.

And I can say that men of this commander who took care of the furnace

they knew who was playing in the fire.

How many Jews were killed?

In Auschwitz, a million and a half.

But it's not just about Jews,

the fields are for anyone which they regard as enemies.

The Slavs, the Romans, and now it's the Hungarians' turn.

-And how do you know? -Because they don't keep it a secret!

right now they

are finishing a new train track that goes straight to the furnaces.

And the SS guards are joking,

saying they're looking forward to seeing the famous Hungarian sausage technique.

I know the burden.

We carried him here with us.

The most important question is:

What will you do about it?

This is...

It is possible that the allies don't know that?

They may be suspicious, but, certainly, they don't know the details.

I am going to try...

I will try to take this to the Americans.

I'll try to convince them to negotiate.

No!

Don't deal with murderers.

Fill your planes with bombs and destroy the place.

Even prisoners want more that everything, to see the fire falling from the sky!

Destroying tower defenses.

Destroy everything.

Right, left...

right...

THERE WAS NEVER ANY AIR ATTACK IN AUSCHWITZ - BIRKENAU

IT WAS SEVEN MONTHS BEFORE THAT THE VRBA-WETZLER REPORT

WAS FINALLY PUBLISHED FOR THE AMERICAN AVERAGE. EVEN THOUGH,

IT HAS BEEN TRUNCTURED AND DRAFTED. EDITORS WERE CONCERNED

THAT NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE IN THE HORRORS HE DETAILED.

APPROXIMATELY 2,500,000 PEOPLE

WERE DEPORTED

TO THE CONCENTRATION FIELD OF AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU.

ESTIMATED THAT ABOUT 1,100,000 PEOPLE

HAVE BEEN MURDERED THERE.

THE REPORT PREPARED BY WETZLER AND VRBA

HELPED SAVE LIFE OUT OF 120,000 BUDAPEST JEWS

WAITING FOR DEPORTATION TO THE FIELD OF DEATH.

(to be continued)

The Historical Evidence

strongly against...

is incredibly contrary

that six million Jews have been killed in the gas chambers deliberately

as a deliberate policy of Adolf Hitler.

I believe I didn't have no gas chamber.

We are becoming a colony of Zionism,

where we, the local population,

we play the role of mere spectators.

we will not be deceived for Jewish and Zionist lies

about the "evil" Slovak state during the war

and about the "democracy" we have today.

Your neighborhood, your village,

your children's school, your life, salary

will be irreversibly impacted by immigration.

As president, I will restore borders

on my first day in office.

When I take over,

the gypsy question will be resolved in a year and a day.

The term itself will disappear of the Pre�ov.

The gypsy question will no longer exist.

Some are good, some are rapists and others are murderers.

And we don't even know who we're getting.

And they don't just come from Mexico, they come from everywhere

and surely you know it's true...

...talking about the Moroccan scum in the Netherlands.

Of course, not all of them are scum, but there is a lot of Moroccan scum in the Netherlands

that make the streets unsafe.

I wish you all here in Zilina a nice white day.

Happily,

the Red Plague

no longer tread on our lands.

This, however, does not mean

unreplaced by a new plague,

who now tries to subdue

our hearts,

minds and souls.

It's not red, but the color of a rainbow.

Now, like homosexual? I will speak, no one likes it, right? Nobody likes it!

I believe they should be executed by the Government.

And that, by the way, in 79 countries in the world homosexuality is still illegal.

And in many places still � punishable by the death penalty.

If I get there, it won't have money for NGOs!

Those useless ones will have to work...

There won't be...

The leaders of the European Left speak a lot.

generosity, solidarity, hospitality...

And Italians are bad, racist,

ignorant, fascists selfish, Nazis...

they come here, take care and then rent it to us.

They are kicking us out and I don't want to go back to WWII

with Hitler and such.

And I want to say one more thing that I know about black people.

Many of them were and still are...

they have a lot of free time and offer danger...

-We are the Jews... -How can you say that?

He was an amazing man.

We cannot allow the Germans become a minority in Germany.

This is the essential!
