Their edges are pointed and sharp.

They pierce the skin and draw blood.

I thought I had finished with the past, end.

But it's never too late.

Hello, Mr. Wong. - Hello, Mrs. Levine. - I want to pick up my tablecloths.

You know what? I forgot the removal order.

Is it well without?

You know my tablecloths? The dark green?

Tonight we have a party, but I need the tablecloths.

Impossible.

Have you noticed, my love, that I have almost never used this word?

This word disappeared on the day of my arrival, than anything,

absolutely everything was possible.

Now that it is almost over, you may not risk anything.

It is probably something special.

You've not in love with her?

The Jews are anyway all draufgehen.

Thank you.

Did you get it? - I have it.

Then you have everything now. In two days you're going!

It is too early! - Tomasz ...

You can not wait any longer.

It is too uncertain.

You have to go now, they say. Alone.

Otherwise you're not fast enough in Warsaw.

I will not leave them.

If you get caught, we fly to all.

I know what to do if we get caught.

If you torture them, they will tell us.

She knows nothing of the negatives. - This is more important than life

an individual. Photos, Tomasz! The world must know what is happening here.

Damn, that's clear to me.

I love you.

Oh God.

Dad, why are not you dressed yet? - I had to shower again, believe me.

Mom, there you are! Miss Gorska is here, and helps us with the preparations.

The plates are covered, the ham is on the table,

and the napkins are folded so any way you like it.

How many bottles of wine we should rausstellen? I did not know that.

Thank you sweetheart.

For you what is good.

I'll mention you praise in my speech.

The dialed number is not assigned. You're welcome...

Information, here is Sally O'Neill.

I need the number of the Red Cross in Baltimore.

One moment please.

Should I connect the same, ma'am?

Hello, Mr. Wong, I want to pick up my tablecloths.

You know what? I forgot the removal order.

Is it well without?

I need the tablecloths for a party. The dark green.

I look after times.

I was on my way to my brother, who was in the resistance.

I was still a young lad

with romantic ideas, when the Germans arrested me.

That must have been very dramatic. - Oh yeah. Very.

How could you fall in love in a concentration camp?

Could you ever speak with the girls?

Neither the girls nor with the women.

That was impossible.

And as you have agreed with her?

First...

we only had eye contact.

And then later on the food.

Whenever I could, I gave her a piece of bread.

I did not want it ...

And thus she understood,

that I liked very much, long before we talked.

I...

I still remember her face,

when she smiled at me for the first time.

You ... Excuse me.

I found her.

She whispered to me ...

My apologies.

802 people tried to escape from the camp,

Since its founding in 1940,

until the closure of the camp and the evacuation 1945th

Many of these attempts have failed.

The napkins are folded just as you like it.

I just have to know how many bottles of wine we should rausstellen.

Sandra Fulham from the Tracing Service of the International Red Cross.

How can I help you?

Here is Mrs. Levine.

1946 I have contacted you to find a missing person.

His name is Tomasz Limanowski. He's poles.

He was never found and presumed dead.

Maybe I've seen on television it today. - Mom,

we need your help. - Becca, one minute please!

Excuse me, what did you say?

Can it be that he is still alive? I need to find him.

Why do you whisper?

Would you please answer my question? - Which question?

Whether it may be that he is still alive?

Ma'am, have you tried it once at the information?

You mean, the Red Cross has not found anyone who stands in the phone book?

At that time, I have not worked here, how do I know that?

Since you were probably still in diapers.

That's enough. Talk to my boss! - No, wait! Hello?

Mrs. Levine? - Yes? - Good day, this is Mrs. Wilcox.

I'm sorry if there were just misunderstandings.

You have submitted a search request for a person from Poland a few years ago.

Do you have the documents from that time still? - Yes.

Please give me the file number. - Yes, a moment please.

The document number is:

RC 1946-17891 HS.

Thank you. The old files are stored in our archives.

But allow me one question: Are you sure that the person,

you have seen on television, the person you're looking for?

It could be, but I'm not sure.

I get it. Would you like us to open the file again?

Yes. - All right then.

If we're lucky, I get the record before five.

Thank you.

Thank you. I just want to tell you,

how much it means to me that you all have come,

to this significant subsidy that we get to celebrate.

We have an idea pursued in the hope

that we can contribute to the understanding of human thinking

and of human emotion.

You are all the best in your field, and

I am very honored to work with you. I thank you.

And I would be remiss not to thank the husbands and wives,

that they have endured it, that we have put so much time into our work.

But now let's celebrate! Mazel Tov!

Mrs. Gorska? - Yes? - We still need four bottles of white wine, please.

Thieves, Kazimir! Thieves!

What a wonderful party! How are you?

We have not seen each other for ever. Has Daniel tells you,

that Robert goes for a year to Italy?

He wanted to go to Europe. And now he has a scholarship for a whole year.

This will be a long year for me, that's for sure.

Before we make a round trip.

But at some point you have to let them go.

They grow, and one day they just go away.

Italy should be very interesting. Rome, Florence, Venice ...

Excuse me, Mrs. Gorska, is a Polish name, is not it?

Yes. As the famous Polish actress Irena Górska.

I adore. - And you speak Polish?

Yes, with my family, I speak Polish. I'm a Polish woman.

Could you help me with a translation? - Yes of course.

Information desk.

Please, I need the phone number of Tomasz Limanowski.

In which city?

How?

English?

City? - Yes, the city.

Please refer to Krakow.

One moment please.

In Krakow there is no Tomasz Limanowski.

In Warsaw?

Bye for now. Goodbye.

You were already on the phone!

Dad asked, where are you, I should see if everything is in order.

What are you doing all day on the phone?

I'm sorry if he has disturbed you. - You're having an affair.

No. - I was just kidding. But you're a bit too old.

Thank Becca!

But seriously,

what's wrong with you?

Mom, that's Dad's Party.

I've lost something.

I can not believe it.

What? - You are lying to me.

Dad said, you tell things often times a little different than they are.

There you are.

Thank you for all this.

Do you know my wife? - No, unfortunately not.

Alice and John McKenzie, my wife Hannah.

I've heard a lot about you. - Uh-oh! What did he tell you that?

Daniel admired your work greatly. - This is true.

Did he tell you about my experiments with LSD and mice?

I tried to record their hallucinations. - What nonsense!

Can I have a well?

Since when do you smoke?

I've never seen her smoke. - Maybe I'll start again.

Again? - I'll see after your parents.

Excuse me.

Hannah, darling, what's wrong?

You're so weird today. Have I done something?

Can I not even smoke a without you order me in your practice?

I'm sorry. Of course you can smoke if you wish.

It has nothing to do with you.

Is?

It's an honor to meet you.

Tomasz!

How did you get out? - Where is my mother?

What's going on here? I dont know anything. - Your mother is doing well.

It is in Mary's room. The Germans have them thrown out of her house.

And Czeslaw? - Your brother is as always heroically in the matter, as I hear.

Good day.

My fiancee.

I bring you blankets and something to eat,

But while you can not stay here. It is too dangerous.

The SS is looking for you. I'll try,

as soon as possible to find a safe place.

Thank you.

Janusz!

Do you know where Czeslaw is? - Hard to say.

The AK-people never stay long in one place.

That is why he is probably still alive. He is in Warsaw, this much is certain.

I have to give him material. It's urgent.

In all of Warsaw is fought against the German occupation. We did not find him.

I must find him!

I have Frank finally engaged.

Not true, Frank? Please excuse me.

Can I help you, Mrs. Gorska? - Seeking your wife.

There's a call for you, and I can not find them.

I can not find them. Do you want to leave a message?

One moment.

Mama.

How did you get there just get out?

My name is Hannah Silberstein.

I am pleased to meet you.

I know you've been through the worst. - You can not marry a Jew!

I beg your pardon? - Absolutely no way.

Did you have any idea what is happening in the world, Mother?

You have to get rid of them.

It is too dangerous. For you and for me.

Everything will be fine.

She has a fever, and she has lost a lot of blood.

Only you can help us, Mother.

Wait outside.

Go now, you're just in the way. Go! Go! Go!

Frau Limanowska? - Janusz!

I've been looking for you. - Hannah is ill.

The car is there.

He can take you to Czeslaw. - Now?

It is in 20 minutes at the appointed meeting place.

He does not wait.

I have to go, Mama.

Please take care of Hannah until I'm gone.

There are only a few days.

I love you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Do you hear? He must be.

Hop in.

Promise me that you bring to Magdalena.

Rely on me.

What happened?

Nothing.

The time.

One second, one minute

one hour.

A day, a week,

a month,

a year.

A decade,

the eternity.

We send news from Warsaw.

After signing of the surrender in Warsaw

were captured 15,378 insurgents,

including 922 officers and 2,000 women.

In the labor camp at Muhlberg and Hamburg ...

Warsaw. - You try to persuade the prisoners,

to renounce their prisoner of war rights.

... that the living conditions in the camps are very poor.

The barracks are not heated, and eat there ...

What do you want? - Cold.

Well. What are you snooping around here?

I look only if you have something with other guys,

Czeslaw long is gone. - You gotta be myself hopes?

I do not like you. - Me neither. Out!

Get out, I said!

Mirek is stupid.

Since his family is gone, he's mean and crazy.

Mirek worked for the Germans and the Russians. Awful.

Awful?

Quiet. Take it easy.

Tag.

What do you need? - Weapons.

I almost shot you, your character came so late.

Worth.

Here. - Thank you.

Do you know Czeslaw Limanowski? - No.

Hannah, you can come out.

Do you understand?

Thank you.

Come!

We make good food. Fried eggs.

One two,

three,

four five.

Six. - Six.

Very good.

Seven. - Seven.

Eight. - Eight.

Czeslaw is here.

Good day.

Thank you.

I thought Tomasz was here.

No.

Who has come back with you?

Nobody?

Jerzy?

Jan?

Max?

Tomasz has Warsaw leave long before me.

Tomasz has smuggled negatives out of the camp. - We do not know anything.

What are the pictures good?

There are evidence of crimes.

I find that fascinating. I mean ... Excuse me.

Danny, I know you're upset. I'm sorry. - No I'm not.

Where have you been?

I just wanted to get out, buy cigarettes. Just 5 minutes, but ...

We have a party.

People have been asking for you.

Give me a little time, which is so hard?

If you disappear and then come up with excuses like buying cigarettes ...

I do not lie. I can not even talk about it only.

You tell me something without saying anything, which is doubly difficult.

Damn it, if you have a problem, I have one too.

So, you would dedicate me please?

No.

That's not your problem. It is mine.

Mrs. Wilcox, here is Mrs. Levine.

Thank you for your call.

I get the file two hours ago and am they went through.

If you may have noticed something,

when you saw the interview? Do you know where it was recorded?

I'm not sure, I think it was on BBC.

And how long ago? Five or ten years?

No, it's not a long time ago. - Can you think of an otherwise anything else?

No, not at the moment. I'd have to think.

The Russians have kept many files under lock and key.

We are still looking for thousands of names.

Good. We will notify you in writing if we can find something.

But keep in mind that it may take a while.

And, Mrs. Levine, please bear in mind also,

that some people do not want to be found.

Yes of course. I understand what you mean.

Thank you.

I do not think Tomasz returns.

Probably

He is already dead.

Magda, I have to tell her.

No!

Mama!

Come in.

The Russians have my house.

I'm glad that you're okay.

Hannah is welcome and can stay as long as she wants.

Tomasz died for nothing at all.

No, for Poland.

Your Poland has taken me my second son.

My Poland? - Czeslaw has gone only to homeland army to impress you.

We met later.

Because of these stupid ideas Tomasz spent years in captivity!

Tomasz has his own ideas.

Eure Home Army has a boy exploited, who did not know what he was doing.

One mistake and he sat for many years in the camp.

Great goals are! - And you? If you Poland at heart?

You look to idly how first the Germans and then the Russians take everything.

If you ever something on your mind?

My family! You destroyed my family!

I did not do anything to you. Nothing!

Tomasz lives!

What's happening?

Ask your mother.

Russians!

Czeslaw Limanowski? Bist du Czeslaw Limanowski?

What you throw in front of me?

Come along!

Magda Limanowska? - Magda Limanowska ist tot.

Everything? - Ja.

We will see.

Take him away! What are you standing around here for?

Get out! Both! Hurry!

Hurry!

What are you looking at? Move!

The Na!

Bring them up! - Magda! Leave her alone!

No!

She not! - On two does matter not!

Until that is in Siberia, she's dead anyway.

What can the two wreak here already?

Please, take me with you! - Go home! Come on!

Mama, do not do them a favor!

Go home! Los!

More quickly!

I love you.

Let's go to sleep.

I hear you walking around.

If you can stand it no longer, but then go and let me rot.

Your oh so brilliant solution!

If it does not fit me, I can go yes. - I would not blame you.

I do not know how ...

I will not leave you!

Why not? You'd definitely happier.

Would it make you happy to know that you have brought me so far,

ever think of it?

Do not worry, you can make me angry. Total angry.

Is it here, what is it?

How do you know? - How could I do not know?

I thought the search would help you to overcome the matter.

What's going on here?

Who is this?

Thomas Limanowski.

He saved my life.

You searched for him?

And.

It was assumed that he was dead. But I...

There was no evidence.

He looks nice.

But the hat is funny.

Dear Mrs. Levine, I am pleased to inform you,

that we have a Tomasz Limanowski found in Rynsk in Poland.

The office in New York has found your inquiry from 1945 ...

... for I will utter my deepest sympathy ...

I have accepted me your case. For the simple reason,

that you have waited so long, I'll give you his phone number:

Thomas Limanowski, Ryńska 5827.

Hello, Limanowski.

Who's there?

Was?

Hannah Silberstein is dead.

You know what?

I also speak english.

Yes, on television you have spoken very well English.

Better than German, I think.

I teach.

What do you teach? - Oh whatever.

It's nice to hear your voice.

Very good.

I was pregnant. Did you know that?

I have to hang up now.

I'll call again.

Mama!

You must be hungry. I'll make you something to eat.

where is everyone?

Czeslaw have arrested the Russians.

He was deported to a prison or labor camps.

Where I have not yet figured out.

Magda they have taken. - And Hannah?

She is dead.

How did she die?

I do not know.

Maybe she was sick.

What happened?

I was so scared,

that I would never see you again.

Papa?

Since today there is a new curriculum.

The Communists have removed everything that has to do with the AK.

I heard that. But that's no reason to be late for dinner.

Did you hear what I said? - Now listen to me, my child.

Not even our district chairman has influence. What can I do there?

To talk to us! Two of our professors demand a public debate.

We want to bring them in a newspaper, before it's too late.

Then your professors have hopefully a job in the US.

Just not. They are just courageous people. - My child,

you can cause great problems. You're risking study course and exam.

But why?

We do not do the problems but we only want to write about it.

I bet your mother supports you.

Do not talk to me anymore, since I live with you.

What did you expect? I write him a short letter:

"How are you? I'm fine. Thought you were dead. Greetings, Hannah?"

No of course not. But I thought that we manage jointly.

I never thought that you completely excludes me.

You act as if I wanted to elope with him. - Did you think of that?

No!

Papa,

What is wrong with you?

Hannah Silberstein lives.

She called me today.

I'm haunted by memories that do not want to be forgotten.

I try to hide, but they always find me.

I thought I had finished with the past, end.

But it's never too late.

The Tomasz, to whom I remember, has risked his life for love.

This is of course a cliché, but a fact.

A fact.

A fact that I had forgotten to order to live.

When I was sure that he could no longer be alive,

I allowed myself to think no longer of this man,

In order to determine that I had made a mistake.

He's not dead. Quite a mistake, is not it?

With my precious facts I had tremendous located next to it.

I think it's best when you meet him.

But this mistake has given me the life that I have now.

My very good life.

And that is why, my dear,

Thank you let go to see again Tomasz me in peace.

But you're my only love, and I drive for you to him.

The knowledge that he lives, has freed me.
