1
00:01:16,638 --> 00:01:20,631
Adolph Hitler invaded Polandin September, 1939...
2
00:01:20,909 --> 00:01:23,070
... starting WWII.
3
00:01:23,712 --> 00:01:27,978
By the winter of 1942,his armies were freezing and starving...
4
00:01:28,050 --> 00:01:32,487
... in the snows of Russia, where hisbest general had died of a heart attack...
5
00:01:32,854 --> 00:01:35,152
... and America had entered the war.
6
00:01:35,223 --> 00:01:38,215
For the first time,Hitler's dream of a German empire...
7
00:01:38,293 --> 00:01:41,421
... to last 1,000 years was in doubt.
8
00:01:42,564 --> 00:01:46,625
While he hired and fired generalsand the winter grew colder...
9
00:01:46,702 --> 00:01:50,638
... 15 of his officials were orderedfrom their commands and ministries...
10
00:01:50,706 --> 00:01:55,075
... to meet in a quiet lakeside residencein Wannsee, in Berlin...
11
00:01:55,444 --> 00:01:57,844
... far from the crisis at the front.
12
00:01:58,914 --> 00:02:02,907
In two hours,these men changed the world forever.
13
00:02:04,219 --> 00:02:07,950
Only one record of what was saidand done here survives...
14
00:02:08,223 --> 00:02:12,250
... from the wreckage of what wasthe Thousand-Year Reich.
15
00:02:24,272 --> 00:02:26,866
- How many rolls?
- Enough for four hours, sir.
16
00:02:27,175 --> 00:02:30,235
Too many.
Two hours worth should be sufficient.
17
00:02:51,299 --> 00:02:53,859
Do we have enough? How many fell?
18
00:02:53,935 --> 00:02:56,631
I am sure we have a sizable inventory, sir.
19
00:02:56,705 --> 00:02:58,696
You are sure, or you know?
20
00:02:59,007 --> 00:03:00,133
I know, sir.
21
00:03:00,575 --> 00:03:04,807
Itemize the cost. He pays.
Make it a separate report to me.
22
00:03:05,447 --> 00:03:07,938
And keep him where I don't see him.
23
00:03:16,558 --> 00:03:17,718
Smile.
24
00:03:19,394 --> 00:03:20,918
It is a fine day.
25
00:03:20,996 --> 00:03:21,985
Yes, sir.
26
00:03:25,634 --> 00:03:29,092
All right, then. Let's look smart.
27
00:03:57,065 --> 00:03:58,464
Heil Hitler.
28
00:04:08,610 --> 00:04:12,239
No silence in Latvia. No silence like this.
29
00:04:13,849 --> 00:04:16,545
You're surprised it's better in Berlin?
30
00:04:20,655 --> 00:04:22,418
Heil Hitler.
31
00:04:29,564 --> 00:04:31,395
- We've met, Colonel.
- Indeed, we have.
32
00:04:31,466 --> 00:04:34,401
- I'm State Secretary Bühler.
- Indeed, you are.
33
00:04:34,970 --> 00:04:36,665
- Col. Schöngarth.
- Sir.
34
00:04:36,738 --> 00:04:38,137
Maj. Lange.
35
00:04:40,108 --> 00:04:44,204
If there's anything any of you need,
don't hesitate to call an orderly or me.
36
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,271
My appreciation to the man
who picked this spot.
37
00:04:47,349 --> 00:04:49,544
That would be Gen. Heydrich.
38
00:04:49,985 --> 00:04:53,421
Beautiful house, from a more elegant time.
39
00:04:54,022 --> 00:04:56,286
Are they any messages from Cracow,
my office?
40
00:04:56,391 --> 00:04:57,619
No, sir.
41
00:04:57,759 --> 00:04:59,454
Where do we go?
42
00:04:59,694 --> 00:05:02,925
The Major has come a long way,
the man deserves a drink.
43
00:05:02,998 --> 00:05:07,332
This way. You'll find the wines, and we're
not limited to the wines, first-rate.
44
00:05:07,402 --> 00:05:08,926
That way.
45
00:05:09,037 --> 00:05:11,028
Yes, the court will dry your throat.
46
00:05:11,106 --> 00:05:12,266
Drink.
47
00:05:14,109 --> 00:05:16,168
Excellent!
48
00:05:16,645 --> 00:05:18,374
Put this book away.
49
00:05:21,883 --> 00:05:24,613
It's not built for this purpose,
not for meetings.
50
00:05:25,086 --> 00:05:27,384
These floors are not for boots.
51
00:05:28,323 --> 00:05:30,848
- It was a private home?
- Private home, yes.
52
00:05:30,926 --> 00:05:31,984
Whose?
53
00:05:32,260 --> 00:05:36,094
We believe it was owned by a Jew.
There's some dispute.
54
00:05:36,598 --> 00:05:38,395
In the SS, we travel deluxe.
55
00:05:38,533 --> 00:05:41,468
- Always.
- Well, we've earned it, surely.
56
00:05:41,536 --> 00:05:43,299
Not everyone agrees.
57
00:05:55,417 --> 00:05:57,715
- Heil Hitler!
- It's running like a damn truck.
58
00:05:57,786 --> 00:06:01,688
They say they replaced the belts and plugs,
but it sounds like a cement mixer.
59
00:06:01,756 --> 00:06:05,650
Can someone here check?
I can't hear myself think in there!
60
00:06:06,618 --> 00:06:08,813
The East is well represented.
61
00:06:09,988 --> 00:06:11,751
And we're here first.
62
00:06:14,492 --> 00:06:16,756
Meet Maj. Lange, a very tired man.
63
00:06:16,861 --> 00:06:19,489
No, please,
I am enjoying these surroundings.
64
00:06:19,631 --> 00:06:23,089
- Where can I find Col. Eichmann?
- Follow me, sir.
65
00:06:27,305 --> 00:06:28,636
Eichmann?
66
00:06:31,142 --> 00:06:33,110
Excuse the interruption.
67
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,245
Colonel.
68
00:06:37,582 --> 00:06:40,642
My memorandum of recommendations.
69
00:06:40,719 --> 00:06:44,348
I have here another copy,
in the circumstance Gen. Heydrich...
70
00:06:44,456 --> 00:06:49,223
...would like to be refreshed of its contents
for the sake of maintaining harmony...
71
00:06:49,294 --> 00:06:52,127
...between the Gestapo
and the Foreign Office.
72
00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:54,061
- That was my thought.
- Yes.
73
00:06:54,132 --> 00:06:56,657
Are there any changes
to the list of the invited...
74
00:06:56,735 --> 00:06:57,759
No.
75
00:06:58,036 --> 00:07:01,494
- So even Dr. Kritzinger will be here?
- Yes.
76
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,904
Yes, he will not be happy.
77
00:07:04,142 --> 00:07:06,542
Here we are. And how are you?
78
00:07:07,412 --> 00:07:10,779
Very well, thank you.
I'll make sure that the General sees this.
79
00:07:10,849 --> 00:07:14,012
- When will he arrive?
- He should be on the ground any moment.
80
00:08:08,506 --> 00:08:10,872
May I take your coat, sir? Your hat?
81
00:08:10,942 --> 00:08:14,935
Neumann, Director,
Office of the Four-Year Plan, sir.
82
00:08:15,013 --> 00:08:17,038
Yes. How are you, Neumann?
83
00:08:17,549 --> 00:08:21,349
Always surprised and flattered,
Dr. Stuckart, that you recognize me.
84
00:08:21,419 --> 00:08:24,047
I'm always thanking you for saying so.
85
00:08:24,823 --> 00:08:27,758
Neumann, Director,
Office of the Four-Year Plan.
86
00:08:27,826 --> 00:08:29,293
Dr. Stuckart.
87
00:08:34,532 --> 00:08:38,127
- Heil Hitler. Welcome, sir.
- Heil Hitler. Thank you for the welcome.
88
00:08:38,203 --> 00:08:40,763
Gen. Heydrich's not here yet, I expect.
Am I correct?
89
00:08:40,839 --> 00:08:42,101
Yes, sir.
90
00:08:42,340 --> 00:08:44,433
He loves a grand entrance.
91
00:08:46,811 --> 00:08:48,938
I have no idea what happened to him.
92
00:08:49,147 --> 00:08:51,775
Probably running a bank
somewhere by now.
93
00:08:51,850 --> 00:08:54,944
I understand the purpose,
but no idea what the man might propose.
94
00:08:55,019 --> 00:08:58,250
- Or what the meeting's about? Power.
- No, consolidation of power.
95
00:08:58,323 --> 00:08:59,790
We should benefit by that.
96
00:08:59,858 --> 00:09:02,725
Kritzinger, a pleasure.
I'm pleased you're here.
97
00:09:02,794 --> 00:09:06,059
A morbid curiosity.
We have settled this question.
98
00:09:06,131 --> 00:09:07,257
So I thought.
99
00:09:07,332 --> 00:09:10,768
- What's been discussed?
- Everything, except the fighting in Moscow.
100
00:09:10,835 --> 00:09:14,168
I've heard we're counter-attacking.
Reichenau's got them out of...
101
00:09:14,239 --> 00:09:18,403
Reichenau is dead.
Let us not gossip like maids at the market.
102
00:09:18,476 --> 00:09:21,775
We are stalled for the winter.
Time to face reality.
103
00:09:27,419 --> 00:09:29,819
- Is Col. Eichmann here?
- Yes, sir.
104
00:09:30,221 --> 00:09:32,416
Tell him Klopfer has arrived.
105
00:09:32,824 --> 00:09:34,348
And the others?
106
00:09:35,293 --> 00:09:38,319
Neumann, Director,
Office of the Four-Year Plan.
107
00:09:38,396 --> 00:09:41,365
- For Göring?
- For Reichsmarshal Göring, yes, his office.
108
00:09:41,433 --> 00:09:42,422
And you, sir?
109
00:09:42,634 --> 00:09:45,102
Luther. And what is your plan?
110
00:09:45,537 --> 00:09:49,337
Where will we be in four years,
do you think? Living in the White House?
111
00:09:52,043 --> 00:09:53,032
Welcome, sir.
112
00:09:53,778 --> 00:09:56,212
- You are very well fixed up here.
- I think we are.
113
00:09:56,281 --> 00:09:58,943
I'm late because of a briefing.
We have this general...
114
00:09:59,017 --> 00:10:03,647
...who is now trying to capture Moscow,
who has never commanded one brigade.
115
00:10:03,788 --> 00:10:06,780
That is what I've been hearing,
and that is why I am late.
116
00:10:06,858 --> 00:10:08,553
- Not at all.
- Is there beer?
117
00:10:08,626 --> 00:10:09,684
Yes.
118
00:10:10,161 --> 00:10:11,856
And where is the boys' room?
119
00:10:12,163 --> 00:10:16,361
I've been briefed by the Governor-General
on what concerns, what anticipations.
120
00:10:16,534 --> 00:10:17,899
That is private.
121
00:10:18,269 --> 00:10:22,399
We will all discover what new concepts
our SS friends have in mind.
122
00:10:22,874 --> 00:10:24,239
Schöngarth!
123
00:10:25,410 --> 00:10:26,604
Not bad for French.
124
00:10:26,678 --> 00:10:30,614
Neumann, Director, Office of the Four-Year
Plan. I'm very pleased to be here.
125
00:10:30,682 --> 00:10:31,842
Whom may I be speaking to?
126
00:10:31,916 --> 00:10:34,248
It is very complex, these laws.
127
00:10:34,319 --> 00:10:37,948
A lot of time and thought have been
put to them, and some of these here...
128
00:10:38,056 --> 00:10:39,921
...you notice all the SS...
129
00:10:39,991 --> 00:10:43,427
...have little idea what is lawful
and no respect for what they do know.
130
00:10:43,495 --> 00:10:48,057
Certainly not these men. To them,
laws are like ice cream: Easily melted.
131
00:10:49,968 --> 00:10:53,404
I suspect that is why this meeting,
which is under my department...
132
00:10:53,471 --> 00:10:55,666
...is being called by the SS. Do you know?
133
00:10:55,740 --> 00:10:58,231
Only what the invitation suggested.
134
00:10:58,910 --> 00:11:02,175
They always want to meet.
The SS love to meet.
135
00:11:03,147 --> 00:11:05,843
And they always want something more...
136
00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:07,708
...though they have everything.
137
00:11:07,785 --> 00:11:11,152
Has anyone heard anything remotely
optimistic about the Moscow assault?
138
00:11:11,489 --> 00:11:13,480
No good news. Sympathies all around.
139
00:11:13,558 --> 00:11:15,492
- It's cold.
- What?
140
00:11:15,860 --> 00:11:17,452
It must be cold.
141
00:11:18,796 --> 00:11:20,423
What have we got?
142
00:11:21,099 --> 00:11:23,761
I see wine, but no beer.
And what are these?
143
00:11:23,835 --> 00:11:25,632
- Cigars, sir.
- Please.
144
00:11:26,871 --> 00:11:29,601
Neumann, Director,
Office of the Four-Year Plan.
145
00:11:29,674 --> 00:11:31,437
Luther! Excuse me.
146
00:11:31,776 --> 00:11:35,075
- Sir, this is...
- Director, Four-Year Plan.
147
00:11:35,146 --> 00:11:37,614
A close associate of Reichsmarshal Göring.
148
00:11:37,682 --> 00:11:40,207
Neumann, I introduce Dr. Klopfer...
149
00:11:40,318 --> 00:11:43,014
...a close associate of the Brown Eminence.
150
00:11:43,354 --> 00:11:46,323
- Brown?
- I represent Martin Bormann...
151
00:11:46,591 --> 00:11:50,019
...the Party Chairman
of the Thousand-Year Plan.
152
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:06,698
- Is Dr. Kritzinger here?
- Yes, he is, sir.
153
00:12:06,769 --> 00:12:08,361
That's a relief.
154
00:12:17,614 --> 00:12:19,741
- Are they under way?
- Not yet, sir.
155
00:12:19,949 --> 00:12:21,712
- Who's late?
- We are.
156
00:12:22,018 --> 00:12:25,920
- Who is not here?
- Gen. Heydrich, sir, but he's on his way.
157
00:12:25,989 --> 00:12:27,980
He will make his entrance.
158
00:12:28,958 --> 00:12:32,519
Everything is fine, everyone's comfortable:
Food, cigars, wine.
159
00:12:32,595 --> 00:12:33,823
Colonel?
160
00:12:34,130 --> 00:12:35,256
He's here, sir.
161
00:13:06,929 --> 00:13:08,726
- Heil Hitler.
- Müller.
162
00:13:10,633 --> 00:13:12,294
I love this house!
163
00:13:12,735 --> 00:13:15,568
Seeing it from the air,
you appreciate the architect.
164
00:13:15,838 --> 00:13:17,499
- Are we ready?
- Absolutely, sir.
165
00:13:17,573 --> 00:13:20,007
After the war, it will be my home.
166
00:13:20,343 --> 00:13:22,208
A marvelous home.
167
00:13:22,311 --> 00:13:24,745
There have been questions
about Moscow...
168
00:13:24,814 --> 00:13:27,942
...but I think
I've deflected them successfully.
169
00:13:28,851 --> 00:13:31,820
Understood. If we keep doing this all day,
we'll never finish.
170
00:13:31,888 --> 00:13:35,517
With no disrespect to our Führer,
it is suspended until the end of business.
171
00:13:35,591 --> 00:13:36,922
- Yes, sir.
- Very good.
172
00:13:36,993 --> 00:13:39,689
- There's wine, sir.
- You've all had what you need?
173
00:13:39,762 --> 00:13:42,959
Then let us do what we are here for,
and refreshments after?
174
00:13:43,032 --> 00:13:44,260
- There'll be a buffet.
- Good.
175
00:13:44,333 --> 00:13:47,496
Dr. Kritzinger, important that you be here.
Let us begin.
176
00:13:47,570 --> 00:13:50,403
- Our Führer, how is his mood?
- Commanding, of course.
177
00:13:50,473 --> 00:13:53,704
- His generals in Russia are a disgrace.
- This conference should've...
178
00:13:53,776 --> 00:13:55,243
In a moment.
179
00:13:55,311 --> 00:13:57,643
Gentlemen, your places are identified.
180
00:13:57,714 --> 00:14:02,549
Thank you all for coming. Please, sit down.
I'm sorry I held you up a little.
181
00:14:02,618 --> 00:14:05,109
But you had elegant wine, I'm sure.
182
00:14:05,321 --> 00:14:08,415
And no one there
to say it's too early for that.
183
00:14:09,025 --> 00:14:10,492
Are you all set up?
184
00:14:10,827 --> 00:14:12,454
- It's prepared.
- Very good.
185
00:14:12,628 --> 00:14:15,461
At the risk of sounding like
the first day at summer camp...
186
00:14:15,531 --> 00:14:18,056
...let's go around the table
and introduce ourselves...
187
00:14:18,134 --> 00:14:19,897
...for those who do not know others.
188
00:14:19,969 --> 00:14:23,496
I shall save myself for last
and start with Gen. Müller.
189
00:14:24,307 --> 00:14:26,798
Maj. Gen. Heinrich Müller, SS Gestapo.
190
00:14:26,876 --> 00:14:29,572
Klopfer, representing the Party,
that is who I speak for.
191
00:14:29,645 --> 00:14:32,546
I'm Kritzinger, Ministerial Director
of the Reich Chancellery.
192
00:14:32,615 --> 00:14:34,845
I appreciate being called, but wonder why.
193
00:14:34,917 --> 00:14:38,546
The topic, the coordination of the
Jewish question, I believe, was resolved.
194
00:14:38,621 --> 00:14:39,645
It will be.
195
00:14:39,722 --> 00:14:42,816
With the Führer stating to me
and to my superiors...
196
00:14:43,826 --> 00:14:45,191
It will be.
197
00:14:47,230 --> 00:14:49,892
Gen. Hofmann,
Race and Settlement, Main Office.
198
00:14:49,966 --> 00:14:52,867
We deal with matters
of race and settlement.
199
00:14:53,336 --> 00:14:54,598
Is it me?
200
00:14:54,737 --> 00:14:59,071
Leibbrandt, the Political Office of the
Ministry for all we hold and administer...
201
00:14:59,142 --> 00:15:01,940
...in Eastern Poland, the Baltics
and in the Soviet Union.
202
00:15:02,011 --> 00:15:04,639
I am the State Secretary
for the Ministry as a whole.
203
00:15:04,714 --> 00:15:07,877
- Give them your name.
- Meyer, Dr., sorry.
204
00:15:08,317 --> 00:15:10,217
Stuckart, Interior Ministry.
205
00:15:10,286 --> 00:15:12,777
Martin Luther,
Undersecretary of the Foreign Ministry.
206
00:15:12,922 --> 00:15:14,822
I met almost everybody.
207
00:15:14,891 --> 00:15:18,588
My name is Neumann, Director,
Office of the Four-Year Plan.
208
00:15:18,795 --> 00:15:22,162
Lange, Deputy Commander
of SS Task Forces in Latvia.
209
00:15:22,365 --> 00:15:25,766
- Among other things.
- We all have other things.
210
00:15:25,835 --> 00:15:27,200
I'm Joseph Bühler...
211
00:15:27,270 --> 00:15:30,797
...Secretary of State of the General
Government of German-occupied Poland.
212
00:15:31,007 --> 00:15:32,975
How cold is it up there?
213
00:15:33,109 --> 00:15:34,440
Better Cracow than Warsaw.
214
00:15:34,510 --> 00:15:38,002
Now that it is run by Germans,
you should be spared those Polish winters.
215
00:15:38,147 --> 00:15:39,614
Not the case.
216
00:15:39,782 --> 00:15:43,115
Schöngarth,
SS assigned to the General Government.
217
00:15:44,453 --> 00:15:46,887
Dr. Freisler, Ministry of Justice.
218
00:15:47,356 --> 00:15:50,052
Also, I hold rank in the Storm Troopers.
219
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,957
So that is who I am.
220
00:15:53,029 --> 00:15:57,466
Adolf Eichmann, SS Gestapo, Office of
Jewish Affairs, and that should be...
221
00:15:58,134 --> 00:15:59,328
Yes, that's all.
222
00:15:59,402 --> 00:16:02,530
And I am Heydrich,
SS Chief of Reich Security, Main Office...
223
00:16:02,605 --> 00:16:05,665
...and Reichsprotector
of Bohemia and Moravia.
224
00:16:05,875 --> 00:16:07,069
And welcome.
225
00:16:07,844 --> 00:16:10,904
You have each been given some papers.
These are for you alone.
226
00:16:10,980 --> 00:16:14,472
No copies to be made,
not to be seen or discussed with others...
227
00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:15,949
...except superiors.
228
00:16:16,018 --> 00:16:19,283
How we deal with matters here
must be held secret from our enemies.
229
00:16:19,355 --> 00:16:22,518
We control events better
when we control opinion.
230
00:16:22,992 --> 00:16:26,450
Today, each of us becomes
a bearer of secrets.
231
00:16:27,363 --> 00:16:29,888
- And our secretary will be discreet?
- He agrees.
232
00:16:30,032 --> 00:16:31,226
He agrees? Excellent.
233
00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:34,531
Communication between us after today
will pass in both directions...
234
00:16:34,604 --> 00:16:37,732
...through Lt. Col. Eichmann,
my deputy for all Jewish matters.
235
00:16:37,807 --> 00:16:39,707
He is your focal point.
236
00:16:40,343 --> 00:16:44,837
To begin, we have a storage problem
in Germany with these Jews.
237
00:16:45,348 --> 00:16:48,181
There have been conversations
for a year about this Jew...
238
00:16:48,251 --> 00:16:51,709
...and that Jew and the complexities
of the law and this problem...
239
00:16:51,787 --> 00:16:53,982
...as you, I'm sure, know has tormented us.
240
00:16:54,257 --> 00:16:57,590
We first undertook to expel them
from all means by which our people...
241
00:16:57,660 --> 00:17:01,460
...would have to deal with them,
every sphere of life of German people.
242
00:17:01,530 --> 00:17:04,294
The laws enacted at Nuremberg,
and we should drink a toast...
243
00:17:04,367 --> 00:17:06,801
...to Dr. Stuckart for devising them.
244
00:17:06,936 --> 00:17:09,496
Coauthor, in all modesty,
I am the coauthor.
245
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:14,242
They established the fundamental legality
for the creation of a Jew-free society...
246
00:17:14,310 --> 00:17:16,505
...a Jew-free economy for the world to see.
247
00:17:16,579 --> 00:17:19,946
And we, indeed, have eliminated the Jew
from our national life.
248
00:17:20,016 --> 00:17:23,281
Now, more than that, the Jew himself...
249
00:17:23,352 --> 00:17:27,083
...must be physically eradicated
from our living space.
250
00:17:27,523 --> 00:17:29,081
- Clarification.
- Absolutely.
251
00:17:29,158 --> 00:17:31,092
There will be a moment for that.
252
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,857
But if I may, we pursued
a vigorous policy of emigration...
253
00:17:34,931 --> 00:17:37,092
...but who would take more of them?
254
00:17:37,266 --> 00:17:40,497
"Who would want them?"
Was the policy's ultimate limitation.
255
00:17:40,569 --> 00:17:45,563
Every border in Europe rejects them
or charges outrageously to accept them.
256
00:17:46,375 --> 00:17:48,468
- America.
- Even America, thank you...
257
00:17:48,544 --> 00:17:52,537
...where Jews constantly whisper
in Roosevelt's ear, still turns them away.
258
00:17:53,349 --> 00:17:58,184
Then, in acquiring Poland,
we acquired two and a half million more.
259
00:17:59,355 --> 00:18:01,585
By last July,
we were met with a new situation...
260
00:18:01,657 --> 00:18:02,901
...we would, in very short order,
be acquiring some...
261
00:18:02,901 --> 00:18:04,300
...we would, in very short order,
be acquiring some...
262
00:18:04,369 --> 00:18:08,066
...five million Jews
as we conquered Russia.
263
00:18:08,607 --> 00:18:12,065
The dimensions of this problem
have magnified astoundingly.
264
00:18:12,144 --> 00:18:13,668
Five million.
265
00:18:13,846 --> 00:18:16,314
Exactly the problem. Our ghettos are full...
266
00:18:16,381 --> 00:18:19,509
All those ghettos, yes, with Polish names.
267
00:18:21,286 --> 00:18:24,255
Fully occupied, but hold for now,
please, if you would.
268
00:18:24,323 --> 00:18:28,157
At that time, last July,
confronting this new situation...
269
00:18:28,293 --> 00:18:31,751
...Reichsmarshal Göring
prepared a directive, you have a copy.
270
00:18:31,830 --> 00:18:34,765
The operative words,
if you'll permit me to read:
271
00:18:34,833 --> 00:18:37,700
"I hereby charge you
with making all preparations...
272
00:18:37,769 --> 00:18:40,329
"...in regard to organizational
and financial matters...
273
00:18:40,405 --> 00:18:44,774
"...for bringing about a complete solution
of the Jewish question...
274
00:18:44,843 --> 00:18:47,073
"...in the German sphere of influence
in Europe."
275
00:18:47,145 --> 00:18:49,545
Now, for that, I read the cleansing...
276
00:18:49,615 --> 00:18:52,675
...of the entire continent of Europe.
277
00:18:53,318 --> 00:18:55,252
You see, the word "cleansing"...
278
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,312
An accurate word, I think. If I may go on...
279
00:18:58,390 --> 00:19:00,415
...in the second paragraph:
280
00:19:00,592 --> 00:19:03,789
"Wherever other governmental agencies
are involved...
281
00:19:03,896 --> 00:19:07,332
"...these are to cooperate with you..."
I hope. So on, so on.
282
00:19:07,399 --> 00:19:09,333
"...as necessary for the accomplishment...
283
00:19:09,401 --> 00:19:12,564
"...of the desired solution
of the Jewish question."
284
00:19:14,506 --> 00:19:17,532
This is our mandate, all of us.
285
00:19:18,810 --> 00:19:20,334
May I say, in fairness...
286
00:19:20,412 --> 00:19:23,176
...the Jewish question falls
within the responsibilities...
287
00:19:23,248 --> 00:19:26,775
...of my department, the Reich Chancellery,
and we received no directive...
288
00:19:26,852 --> 00:19:28,979
If you will give me a moment or two.
289
00:19:29,054 --> 00:19:32,455
- The document is in your folder?
- Yes, it is in your folder.
290
00:19:32,658 --> 00:19:33,920
I'm sure it is.
291
00:19:33,992 --> 00:19:36,552
Finally, what has happened
since that directive?
292
00:19:36,628 --> 00:19:37,856
Succinctly, now...
293
00:19:37,930 --> 00:19:41,263
...we are standing still in Russia,
the Americans have joined the war.
294
00:19:41,333 --> 00:19:44,734
Both events are a further drain
on our military, our economy...
295
00:19:44,803 --> 00:19:47,033
...our manpower, our food supply.
296
00:19:47,339 --> 00:19:49,864
We cannot store these Jews.
297
00:19:50,909 --> 00:19:53,537
Emigration is over.
298
00:19:54,346 --> 00:19:58,510
And the inevitable solution is what we,
together at this table...
299
00:19:58,784 --> 00:20:01,082
...will discuss this afternoon.
300
00:20:10,696 --> 00:20:14,564
We'll go on. You'll find a document
listing the remaining Jewish population...
301
00:20:14,633 --> 00:20:16,498
...by country in Europe...
302
00:20:17,035 --> 00:20:21,096
...and whatever the USSR or Russia
calls itself for the time it has left.
303
00:20:21,206 --> 00:20:24,073
As I mentioned,
emigration policy will stop...
304
00:20:24,142 --> 00:20:27,134
I apologize, sir. A call for Gen. Heydrich.
305
00:20:27,946 --> 00:20:30,847
- See who it is, and end the calls.
- Yes, sir.
306
00:20:32,918 --> 00:20:34,943
We will take but a moment.
307
00:20:36,655 --> 00:20:38,748
Please sit, Dr. Kritzinger.
308
00:20:43,695 --> 00:20:45,253
Make us all comfortable.
309
00:20:55,540 --> 00:20:57,303
Where is this going?
310
00:20:58,710 --> 00:21:01,008
Yes, this is Lt. Col. Eichmann.
311
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,938
I understand, Major, but the General
is to be free of calls at this time.
312
00:21:05,083 --> 00:21:07,881
If you wish to explain the matter to me...
313
00:21:08,353 --> 00:21:09,411
Yes?
314
00:21:09,888 --> 00:21:12,379
Yes, I'm sure if you call his office, you...
315
00:21:12,457 --> 00:21:15,984
Yes. Heil Hitler.
316
00:21:19,297 --> 00:21:21,697
This meeting is not taking place.
317
00:21:22,134 --> 00:21:25,126
You are to take no phone calls
for anyone at this meeting.
318
00:21:25,203 --> 00:21:26,397
Anyone.
319
00:21:27,105 --> 00:21:30,302
Unless the Führer calls, and he won't.
320
00:21:31,410 --> 00:21:33,708
- Understood?
- Yes, sir.
321
00:21:35,747 --> 00:21:38,477
Here is Field Marshall Reichenau
strapped to a chair...
322
00:21:38,550 --> 00:21:41,610
...and put, convulsing, on the plane,
where he dies.
323
00:21:42,154 --> 00:21:44,884
He wanted to retreat as deeply
as Rundstedt did, but...
324
00:21:44,956 --> 00:21:47,891
...Rundstedt got his medal
and Reichenau, the hereafter.
325
00:21:47,959 --> 00:21:51,053
Maj. Schussheim was reluctant
to give me any message.
326
00:21:51,163 --> 00:21:52,631
He does not appreciate you as I do.
327
00:21:52,631 --> 00:21:53,655
He does not appreciate you as I do.
328
00:21:53,965 --> 00:21:55,330
Emigration.
329
00:21:55,567 --> 00:21:59,094
The policy to replace that of emigration,
and we have enough experience...
330
00:21:59,171 --> 00:22:01,537
...to do it well, is evacuation.
331
00:22:01,773 --> 00:22:05,174
Which differs from emigration
in what way? Evacuation to where?
332
00:22:05,243 --> 00:22:07,108
Let us postpone that question for a while.
333
00:22:07,179 --> 00:22:09,875
- To hell, one hopes.
- Many already have.
334
00:22:10,082 --> 00:22:12,778
- Do they even have a hell?
- They do now. We provide it.
335
00:22:12,851 --> 00:22:17,413
We have received assurances that
these Jews are held in livable conditions.
336
00:22:17,756 --> 00:22:19,883
You are postponing,
that is your prerogative.
337
00:22:19,958 --> 00:22:22,688
Will I have an opportunity
to be heard on this?
338
00:22:22,761 --> 00:22:24,524
On my word of honor.
339
00:22:24,863 --> 00:22:25,955
If I may.
340
00:22:26,698 --> 00:22:29,826
132,000 Jews left in Germany proper.
341
00:22:30,068 --> 00:22:34,437
Austria: 43,700.
Occupied Eastern Territories: 420,000.
342
00:22:35,140 --> 00:22:37,870
General Government: 2,284,000.
343
00:22:37,943 --> 00:22:42,380
Bialystok: 400,000, and Moravia: 74,200.
344
00:22:42,447 --> 00:22:45,883
- Estonia: Not a one.
- The best thing I've heard about Estonia.
345
00:22:45,951 --> 00:22:49,546
You have the list, I won't read it all.
Plenty in France, Romania, England.
346
00:22:49,621 --> 00:22:51,384
USSR: 5 million.
347
00:22:51,456 --> 00:22:56,325
In what is, or will be soon, our sphere
of control over 11 million chosen people.
348
00:22:57,028 --> 00:22:59,360
- The changing definitions?
- Yes, go ahead.
349
00:22:59,431 --> 00:23:03,162
Except that there are countries
that define Jewishness non-racially...
350
00:23:03,235 --> 00:23:06,329
...merely as a religious practice:
England, America.
351
00:23:06,571 --> 00:23:08,505
Therefore, by our racial principles...
352
00:23:08,874 --> 00:23:12,037
...there may be many additional
uncounted Israelites.
353
00:23:12,110 --> 00:23:14,578
And he speaks Jewish. He does!
354
00:23:14,780 --> 00:23:16,008
He does!
355
00:23:16,948 --> 00:23:19,439
What, then, confronts us here...
356
00:23:20,118 --> 00:23:24,020
...in open discussion, which will inform
the choices we must make...
357
00:23:24,322 --> 00:23:25,949
...is what to do...
358
00:23:26,024 --> 00:23:30,051
...to deal with this staggering number
of Jews overwhelming us.
359
00:23:31,630 --> 00:23:34,098
My suggestion is
to take all able-bodied Jews...
360
00:23:34,166 --> 00:23:36,327
...separated according to sex, to the East...
361
00:23:36,401 --> 00:23:39,029
...to work in units,
specifically for road building.
362
00:23:39,104 --> 00:23:40,662
Yes. Can we be practical?
363
00:23:40,739 --> 00:23:45,301
You are hardly describing the promised
livable conditions for these people.
364
00:23:46,044 --> 00:23:48,638
On the face of it, your plan...
365
00:23:48,713 --> 00:23:51,113
...excuse me, does not succeed.
366
00:23:52,217 --> 00:23:54,811
It is fanciful.
367
00:23:56,288 --> 00:23:58,779
You have, in this collection here...
368
00:24:00,225 --> 00:24:03,490
...five million Russo-European Jews:
10% agriculture...
369
00:24:13,318 --> 00:24:14,842
Building roads?
370
00:24:20,592 --> 00:24:24,494
Yes, and most will be casualties,
eliminated by natural causes.
371
00:24:24,896 --> 00:24:27,990
We intend to be complete.
We will comb Europe from west to east...
372
00:24:28,066 --> 00:24:30,694
...starting with the protectorates,
Bohemia and Moravia.
373
00:24:30,769 --> 00:24:34,705
We will evacuate them first.
All to-be-evacuated Jews, group by group...
374
00:24:34,773 --> 00:24:39,073
...will be sent to, call them transit ghettos,
and then transported to the east.
375
00:24:39,144 --> 00:24:41,374
- Please...
- You want yours first! I understand.
376
00:24:41,446 --> 00:24:43,107
Let me make my case, you'll be heard.
377
00:24:43,181 --> 00:24:46,082
When, in your plan,
do you take their women away?
378
00:24:46,151 --> 00:24:48,346
How they love to make the beast.
379
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:50,747
Control yourself.
380
00:24:51,189 --> 00:24:54,454
Jews who have beyond 65 years
will be moved into old-age ghettos...
381
00:24:54,526 --> 00:24:58,758
...possibly Theresienstadt will be chosen,
where they can expire at their own speed.
382
00:24:58,897 --> 00:25:00,888
We will sweep
all wounded Jewish veterans...
383
00:25:00,965 --> 00:25:02,796
...and those given military decorations.
384
00:25:02,867 --> 00:25:06,428
The Iron Cross, first class,
that fine distinction will be abandoned.
385
00:25:06,504 --> 00:25:09,268
They go, too, into the old-age ghettos...
386
00:25:09,340 --> 00:25:12,776
...or we will be drowning in requests
for exemptions and interventions.
387
00:25:12,844 --> 00:25:15,870
I was referring to intervention
of another kind...
388
00:25:16,014 --> 00:25:17,606
...below the waist.
389
00:25:17,949 --> 00:25:23,046
This is all very beguiling, but when you
include privileges for certain Jews...
390
00:25:23,121 --> 00:25:25,988
...the Party Chancellery
sees its interest a certain way.
391
00:25:26,791 --> 00:25:30,090
And Martin Bormann, I can speak for him...
392
00:25:30,161 --> 00:25:33,460
...has his authority as well from the Führer.
393
00:25:34,499 --> 00:25:38,936
We do not just surrender our prerogative
to decide Jew questions.
394
00:25:44,709 --> 00:25:47,610
Everyone's point of view
will be considered.
395
00:25:49,447 --> 00:25:51,779
Did you ever see an animal
with two heads?
396
00:25:51,850 --> 00:25:53,477
They do not live.
397
00:25:54,052 --> 00:25:56,612
Want to see Bormann and Göring
fight it out?
398
00:25:56,955 --> 00:26:00,322
We are not trying to roll over anyone,
quite the opposite.
399
00:26:00,391 --> 00:26:02,689
Does anyone else want to raise
this question now?
400
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,753
Because I have been asked to direct
the release of Germany and all of Europe...
401
00:26:06,831 --> 00:26:10,323
...from the Jewish stranglehold,
and I believe, together, we will.
402
00:26:10,401 --> 00:26:13,302
But the brief remains clear: All of Europe...
403
00:26:14,172 --> 00:26:18,506
...England, from Lapland to Libya,
from Vladivostok to Belfast...
404
00:26:18,576 --> 00:26:20,066
...no Jews.
405
00:26:21,012 --> 00:26:22,240
Not one.
406
00:26:31,823 --> 00:26:35,190
I propose that the appropriate expert from
the Foreign Ministry...
407
00:26:35,260 --> 00:26:38,696
...act as channel to the SS security police
in each country.
408
00:26:38,763 --> 00:26:43,166
I'm counting on you to be my link
to the Foreign Ministry.
409
00:26:44,335 --> 00:26:47,930
I think, having explained in general
what we are challenged to do...
410
00:26:48,006 --> 00:26:50,839
...I would be grateful for comments
and questions.
411
00:26:50,909 --> 00:26:54,868
Let us have some refreshment in here.
Pretend we are the directors of I.G. Farben.
412
00:26:54,946 --> 00:26:57,540
- That's how they do it, yes?
- That is how we do it.
413
00:27:01,519 --> 00:27:03,487
My friend,
I have read your recommendations.
414
00:27:03,555 --> 00:27:05,716
I appreciate the effort and the thought.
415
00:27:05,790 --> 00:27:09,385
I heard some of what I wrote
in what you already said.
416
00:27:09,928 --> 00:27:11,327
I think not.
417
00:27:21,072 --> 00:27:24,337
I hear that Heydrich has
a little Jew blood in him.
418
00:27:27,745 --> 00:27:29,610
Why don't you ask him?
419
00:27:30,748 --> 00:27:33,012
- The numbers are misleading.
- Misleading?
420
00:27:33,084 --> 00:27:35,075
"Who is a Jew?" is another question.
421
00:27:35,153 --> 00:27:38,179
- They're not a heterogeneous...
- Not a heterogeneous population.
422
00:27:42,994 --> 00:27:45,155
And how is it that you can speak Hebrew?
423
00:27:45,563 --> 00:27:47,497
Or is it only Yiddish you speak?
424
00:27:47,832 --> 00:27:51,324
I lived among them, I worked among them,
and I picked up a few words.
425
00:27:51,402 --> 00:27:53,802
Jewish, Yiddish, what they were,
not enough to speak.
426
00:27:53,871 --> 00:27:55,771
So I went in search of a rabbi.
427
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,570
Rabbi means "teacher," I came to find out.
428
00:27:58,977 --> 00:28:01,036
May I tell you the Lord's honest truth?
429
00:28:01,112 --> 00:28:03,580
So many of our highest ranking officers...
430
00:28:03,648 --> 00:28:06,640
...whose responsibility it is
to deal with the Israelites...
431
00:28:06,718 --> 00:28:09,380
...they make no attempt
to get inside the Jewish head.
432
00:28:09,454 --> 00:28:13,720
I went to visit this rabbi,
old man, long beard, in his one-room flat.
433
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:18,359
And when he saw me,
his eyes grew as large as hen's eggs.
434
00:28:18,763 --> 00:28:21,231
I asked him to teach me his language,
and he agreed.
435
00:28:21,299 --> 00:28:24,894
And he said that he would,
but that he would charge me, of course.
436
00:28:24,969 --> 00:28:27,699
I applied to my commander for funds,
and I was denied.
437
00:28:27,772 --> 00:28:31,230
I've run into this opposition all my life,
so I paid my own money.
438
00:28:31,309 --> 00:28:33,174
Very little, not much.
439
00:28:33,244 --> 00:28:36,213
And he taught me some vocabulary
and letters of the alphabet.
440
00:28:36,281 --> 00:28:39,250
Looking back, I realize,
it was poor judgment on my part...
441
00:28:39,517 --> 00:28:42,680
...because I could've so easily
had the old man put into prison...
442
00:28:42,754 --> 00:28:45,689
...and demanded lessons from him
in his cell, free of charge.
443
00:28:46,291 --> 00:28:48,088
One day, he went out.
444
00:28:48,192 --> 00:28:50,820
He was rounded up and shipped off...
445
00:28:51,062 --> 00:28:53,587
...because he had gone out unadvisedly.
446
00:28:54,932 --> 00:28:56,422
And I thought:
447
00:28:56,934 --> 00:28:58,595
"That's so stupid."
448
00:28:59,737 --> 00:29:01,671
Why are they so stupid?
449
00:29:03,408 --> 00:29:06,343
Didn't he know
that I would've protected him?
450
00:29:06,844 --> 00:29:08,937
At least until my lessons were complete.
451
00:29:09,013 --> 00:29:10,913
I want to be through by 2:30 or earlier.
452
00:29:10,982 --> 00:29:14,383
There's no reason why we can't continue.
I prefer you all at the table.
453
00:29:14,452 --> 00:29:16,716
- There will be a buffet lunch.
- Excellent.
454
00:29:16,788 --> 00:29:19,916
Settle down, we're moving along.
You have the overall idea...
455
00:29:19,991 --> 00:29:22,357
...but it's clear some areas
will evacuate swiftly...
456
00:29:22,427 --> 00:29:25,294
- What about our friends the Italians?
- The Italians.
457
00:29:25,363 --> 00:29:28,594
We must all trust the good Lord
to save us from our Italian friends.
458
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:31,260
In the last analysis,
if they don't purge their Jews...
459
00:29:31,336 --> 00:29:35,705
...we'll go down and accomplish it
and put their priorities in order.
460
00:29:36,074 --> 00:29:39,601
In France, even where we aren't occupying,
they'll ship their Jews out.
461
00:29:39,677 --> 00:29:41,508
Here is another problem.
462
00:29:41,713 --> 00:29:45,114
The Foreign Ministry sees difficulty
in evacuating too fast...
463
00:29:45,183 --> 00:29:47,708
...in Scandinavia, as you say, Lapland.
464
00:29:47,919 --> 00:29:50,149
Unless we tie up a lot more troops there...
465
00:29:50,221 --> 00:29:53,418
...troops which we need
for the Russian campaign, Moscow...
466
00:29:53,491 --> 00:29:55,550
...the Scandinavians will not cooperate.
467
00:29:55,626 --> 00:29:57,821
What do you see for the rest of Europe?
468
00:29:57,895 --> 00:30:00,625
The Foreign Ministry sees
no difficulty with the Balkans...
469
00:30:00,698 --> 00:30:03,199
...Southeast and Western Europe.
This is very good.
470
00:30:03,333 --> 00:30:05,028
- Sir.
- Yes?
471
00:30:05,101 --> 00:30:08,764
The Race and Settlement main office
is planning on sending an expert...
472
00:30:08,838 --> 00:30:11,568
...to Hungary for general orientation
on our policies.
473
00:30:11,641 --> 00:30:15,236
I think that should take place at the
same time as you send your advisor.
474
00:30:15,311 --> 00:30:17,939
It will put some iron in the glove,
so to speak.
475
00:30:18,014 --> 00:30:22,280
The glove is iron, and there should be
no confusion as to where policy emanates.
476
00:30:24,454 --> 00:30:27,548
I should hope that established
relationships will be maintained.
477
00:30:27,624 --> 00:30:29,922
If they are productive,
but not if they are not...
478
00:30:29,993 --> 00:30:32,325
...if I may speak for the group.
479
00:30:36,399 --> 00:30:38,890
- It is not my intention...
- What is your intention?
480
00:30:40,804 --> 00:30:44,069
The work done by our department.
Our particular expert is prepared...
481
00:30:44,140 --> 00:30:46,335
We both serve the Führer,
he gave me the command.
482
00:30:46,409 --> 00:30:49,003
I suggest your advisor serve as
an assistant to my man.
483
00:30:49,078 --> 00:30:52,980
That preserves the relative powers
of our offices, does it not?
484
00:30:58,454 --> 00:31:01,617
Yes, it certainly does.
That is how it should be.
485
00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:06,427
I will leave it to you, then,
to be in touch with Col. Eichmann?
486
00:31:06,496 --> 00:31:07,554
Yes.
487
00:31:10,333 --> 00:31:13,496
Settled. Moving along.
Now, a difficult problem.
488
00:31:13,570 --> 00:31:15,470
My instinct is to be Alexandrian...
489
00:31:15,538 --> 00:31:19,235
...and solve a difficult tangle
with a sharp, clean stroke this afternoon.
490
00:31:19,509 --> 00:31:21,568
All our actions must be predicated on law.
491
00:31:21,644 --> 00:31:23,976
Everything we've done
is from the Nuremberg Laws...
492
00:31:24,047 --> 00:31:27,244
...which Dr. Stuckart brought forth
to the Reichstag in 1935.
493
00:31:27,317 --> 00:31:29,911
We now have to examine
the Blood and Honor laws...
494
00:31:29,986 --> 00:31:34,389
...in regard to the problems of mixed
marriages and persons of mixed blood.
495
00:31:34,657 --> 00:31:38,184
Not only who is a Jew,
but how, in each defined circumstance...
496
00:31:38,261 --> 00:31:42,095
...the Jew is expunged from society,
the government, the economy...
497
00:31:42,198 --> 00:31:43,665
...through ordinances.
498
00:31:43,733 --> 00:31:46,201
The tapestry, if you'll permit some pride.
499
00:31:46,269 --> 00:31:50,831
The exemptions written into the law allow
too many Jews to remain among us.
500
00:31:51,407 --> 00:31:55,867
We address that problem by examining
each category and every exemption.
501
00:31:56,212 --> 00:31:58,737
There's been communication
with the Chancellery Head...
502
00:31:58,815 --> 00:32:01,517
...Lammers, who discussed these
questions with the Führer.
503
00:32:01,517 --> 00:32:04,384
You asked why you are here.
You represent him.
504
00:32:04,454 --> 00:32:06,479
And your own opinion.
We would like that, too.
505
00:32:06,556 --> 00:32:10,356
Lammers has indeed met with the Führer
or his staff on this question...
506
00:32:10,426 --> 00:32:11,893
...and reached an understanding.
507
00:32:11,961 --> 00:32:16,159
Dr. Kritzinger, can we come
to a further understanding here?
508
00:32:16,232 --> 00:32:17,824
What can we all agree on?
509
00:32:18,001 --> 00:32:22,404
What I would like agreed here is that
mixed-blood persons of the first degree...
510
00:32:22,472 --> 00:32:26,169
...they have two Jewish grandparents,
they are half-Jews...
511
00:32:26,476 --> 00:32:29,741
...they are just Jews. They go.
Their children go.
512
00:32:29,846 --> 00:32:33,907
There are, in the law, as of now,
two exceptions. If you would...
513
00:32:34,217 --> 00:32:37,380
For first-degree mixed,
if married to Germans with children...
514
00:32:37,453 --> 00:32:38,681
...they're exempted.
515
00:32:38,755 --> 00:32:41,849
Their children, second-degree mixed,
would be treated as Germans.
516
00:32:41,925 --> 00:32:45,224
The other exception is first-degree mixed
who the Reich has chosen...
517
00:32:45,295 --> 00:32:47,593
...to honor with privilege
for whatever reason.
518
00:32:47,664 --> 00:32:50,792
We are talking here of men and women
who live as Germans.
519
00:32:50,867 --> 00:32:54,394
They do not worship
or behave as Jews, but...
520
00:32:54,971 --> 00:32:57,633
...have some quantity of blood.
- The genetic Jew.
521
00:32:57,707 --> 00:33:00,335
In those cases,
we'll examine each determination...
522
00:33:00,410 --> 00:33:02,742
...and perhaps revoke their exemption.
523
00:33:02,812 --> 00:33:05,645
- The Nuremberg Laws...
- Whoever receives exemption...
524
00:33:05,715 --> 00:33:10,243
...better have extraordinary merits,
not just a German parent, husband or wife.
525
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,222
Those who are exempt from evacuation,
they too will fall in certain categories...
526
00:33:14,324 --> 00:33:16,121
Could you, General... Sorry.
527
00:33:16,192 --> 00:33:21,425
I have the real feeling I evacuated 30,000
Jews already, by shooting them at Riga.
528
00:33:22,932 --> 00:33:25,025
Is what I did evacuation?
529
00:33:26,269 --> 00:33:28,760
When they fell, were they evacuated?
530
00:33:29,405 --> 00:33:33,205
There are another 20,000, at least,
waiting for similar evacuation.
531
00:33:35,778 --> 00:33:38,372
I just think it is helpful to know
what words mean.
532
00:33:40,817 --> 00:33:42,409
With all respect.
533
00:33:46,522 --> 00:33:49,650
If I might, I think it's unnecessary
to burden the record...
534
00:33:49,726 --> 00:33:53,287
Yes. In my personal opinion,
they are evacuated.
535
00:33:53,363 --> 00:33:55,354
- Explain.
- I have just done so.
536
00:33:55,431 --> 00:33:58,662
That is contrary to what
the Chancellery has been told.
537
00:33:59,235 --> 00:34:01,703
I have directly been assured!
538
00:34:05,141 --> 00:34:09,737
Purge the Jews, yes.
But to annihilate them...
539
00:34:11,547 --> 00:34:14,812
That we have undertaken
to systematically...
540
00:34:15,351 --> 00:34:17,876
...annihilate all the Jews of Europe?
541
00:34:17,954 --> 00:34:20,013
No. That possibility...
542
00:34:20,423 --> 00:34:24,792
...has personally been denied to me
by the Führer.
543
00:34:27,430 --> 00:34:30,365
And it will continue to be.
544
00:35:05,168 --> 00:35:06,795
Yes, I understand.
545
00:35:11,240 --> 00:35:12,468
Yes.
546
00:35:14,310 --> 00:35:16,403
He will continue to deny it.
547
00:35:18,815 --> 00:35:20,248
My apologies.
548
00:35:22,285 --> 00:35:24,378
Do you accept my apologies?
549
00:35:27,590 --> 00:35:28,921
Of course.
550
00:35:29,926 --> 00:35:30,827
So very kind.
551
00:35:30,827 --> 00:35:31,691
So very kind.
552
00:35:31,994 --> 00:35:35,395
- Close the doors, please.
- Those mixed in the first degree.
553
00:35:35,465 --> 00:35:38,434
Yes, those mixed in the first degree,
who are exempted...
554
00:35:38,901 --> 00:35:40,425
...will be sterilized.
555
00:35:40,503 --> 00:35:43,939
May I just point out,
in regard to special exemptions...
556
00:35:44,607 --> 00:35:48,270
...it's widely known,
I've heard the opinion expressed myself...
557
00:35:48,344 --> 00:35:51,006
...that there are 80 million good Germans...
558
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:55,414
...and each one knows his "decent Jew,"
even if he regards all the rest as vermin.
559
00:35:55,852 --> 00:36:00,482
If there are decent Jews, then before they
are decent and indeed after, they are Jews.
560
00:36:00,556 --> 00:36:02,786
No. First-degree exempted
will be sterilized.
561
00:36:02,859 --> 00:36:06,727
No more children, and eventually,
no more mixed blood, once and for all.
562
00:36:06,796 --> 00:36:08,376
It is important to know what words mean.
563
00:36:08,376 --> 00:36:08,705
It is important to know what words mean.
564
00:36:08,777 --> 00:36:10,938
But it's important to remember
in 1,000 years...
565
00:36:11,012 --> 00:36:15,449
...no matter who holds the power,
history will be written in those words.
566
00:36:15,951 --> 00:36:19,785
Do you expect the men serenely
to submit to being sterilized?
567
00:36:19,854 --> 00:36:23,017
Why not?
They've already had their cocks clipped.
568
00:36:23,858 --> 00:36:26,793
It's voluntary. One can lose
one's possibility to reproduce...
569
00:36:26,861 --> 00:36:29,329
...or one can be evacuated.
570
00:36:29,397 --> 00:36:33,356
If a first-mixed is sterilized, of course,
the Nuremberg restrictions don't apply.
571
00:36:33,435 --> 00:36:36,563
- The Nuremberg Laws are very specific...
- When I am done.
572
00:36:36,638 --> 00:36:38,367
Thank you. Please.
573
00:36:38,773 --> 00:36:41,901
As to second-degree mixed,
those born to a half-Jew and German...
574
00:36:41,977 --> 00:36:44,810
...or one-quarter Jew,
three-quarters German, equals German.
575
00:36:44,879 --> 00:36:49,009
With exceptions: If both parents are
mixed-blood, the child's a Jew.
576
00:36:49,084 --> 00:36:52,679
If the child looks or sounds Jewish,
even with only one-quarter mixed...
577
00:36:52,754 --> 00:36:53,948
When that blood is dominant.
578
00:36:54,022 --> 00:36:55,455
Then he is a Jew.
579
00:36:56,257 --> 00:36:59,158
Third: A mixed-second with
a criminal or political record...
580
00:36:59,227 --> 00:37:02,094
Excuse me, sir, is this a second or a third?
581
00:37:02,497 --> 00:37:03,987
A mixed-second.
582
00:37:04,065 --> 00:37:05,589
- Third exception.
- Third exception.
583
00:37:05,667 --> 00:37:09,398
In other words, he that behaves like a Jew
will be considered as such.
584
00:37:09,471 --> 00:37:12,372
If any of these second-mixed exceptions
marry a German...
585
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,273
...then they will be evacuated,
no special dispensations.
586
00:37:15,877 --> 00:37:19,779
- The marriage laws are very complex...
- Mixed marriages include German relatives.
587
00:37:19,848 --> 00:37:23,909
They have a vested interest in the couple,
also in children born to the marriage.
588
00:37:23,985 --> 00:37:25,748
So here it is.
589
00:37:25,820 --> 00:37:29,449
Marriages between mixed-firsts and
Germans, if they have had no children...
590
00:37:29,524 --> 00:37:31,822
...depending on repercussions
on the German side...
591
00:37:31,893 --> 00:37:35,351
...either the half-Jew is evacuated,
or to the old-age ghetto.
592
00:37:35,430 --> 00:37:38,593
- Theresienstadt.
- Possibly. Somewhere.
593
00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:42,864
The same holds true for the full-blood Jew
with a German wife or husband.
594
00:37:43,071 --> 00:37:45,938
If there are children,
if the rules classify them as Jews...
595
00:37:46,007 --> 00:37:49,670
...they go with the Jew parent, evacuation
or ghetto, depending on the case.
596
00:37:49,778 --> 00:37:53,737
If they're classified as German, that spares
both the child and the Jew parent.
597
00:37:53,815 --> 00:37:56,181
Jews of first-mixed
married to first-mixed are Jews.
598
00:37:56,284 --> 00:37:57,979
Children as well, treated as such.
599
00:37:58,053 --> 00:38:00,783
First-mixed married to second-mixed
and children, the same.
600
00:38:00,855 --> 00:38:04,586
Unless they're exempted by special
considerations, they are gone.
601
00:38:05,326 --> 00:38:08,693
Otherwise to the ghetto,
possibly Theresienstadt.
602
00:38:10,765 --> 00:38:15,293
In all cases,
the SS will be the determining agency.
603
00:38:21,409 --> 00:38:24,776
No question lingers in your mind
about that, does it?
604
00:38:32,153 --> 00:38:34,485
Sterilization will be a growth industry.
605
00:38:34,556 --> 00:38:37,957
Who would not choose infertility
to avoid evacuation?
606
00:38:38,026 --> 00:38:40,187
- They would never know.
- Would never know what?
607
00:38:40,395 --> 00:38:42,659
If you use a word other than "sterilize"...
608
00:38:42,730 --> 00:38:44,823
You think they would never know?
609
00:38:44,899 --> 00:38:46,730
It is simply a matter of secrecy.
610
00:38:46,801 --> 00:38:48,359
The smell of blood carries very far.
611
00:38:48,436 --> 00:38:52,634
I find the plan unworkable.
I find the plan personally insulting.
612
00:38:52,707 --> 00:38:56,473
I have given years to codifying the laws
regarding interracial marriage.
613
00:38:56,544 --> 00:39:01,481
Now I'm presented with this clumsy,
forgive me, unworkable structure.
614
00:39:02,750 --> 00:39:05,947
My work, these laws,
any legal code worthy of the name...
615
00:39:06,020 --> 00:39:08,682
...restricts the enforcers of law
as well as its subjects.
616
00:39:08,756 --> 00:39:11,281
There are some things you cannot do.
617
00:39:15,563 --> 00:39:17,053
As you see it.
618
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:20,534
What I see is all I have to contribute here.
619
00:39:22,303 --> 00:39:26,433
Let me offer a modification,
a simple change we can all accept.
620
00:39:27,108 --> 00:39:28,837
Maybe this helps the outline.
621
00:39:28,910 --> 00:39:33,904
Sir, what you have suggested,
and not to put too fine a point on it...
622
00:39:33,982 --> 00:39:37,076
...you have said the half-mixed
will be eliminated.
623
00:39:37,152 --> 00:39:40,747
- Evacuated.
- "Evacuated." My mistake.
624
00:39:40,822 --> 00:39:45,054
That is a wholesale departure
from the law. But my suggestion...
625
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,650
Yes, which is?
626
00:39:47,428 --> 00:39:50,989
I say the half-mixed should get
the choice we talked about...
627
00:39:51,065 --> 00:39:53,693
...to be either sterilized or taken away.
628
00:39:54,369 --> 00:39:58,430
Does that not come closer to the spirit,
at least, of the Nuremberg Law?
629
00:39:58,506 --> 00:40:00,599
- Dr. Stuckart, does it?
- No.
630
00:40:00,842 --> 00:40:04,710
Sorry, no. Sterilization is promising...
631
00:40:04,779 --> 00:40:08,613
...but attempting a supersession
of what are clearly defined laws...
632
00:40:08,683 --> 00:40:12,744
...in order to impose all these
subjective evaluations, it's like...
633
00:40:12,954 --> 00:40:16,151
Forgive me,
it is like the imposing of ad hoc law.
634
00:40:16,558 --> 00:40:19,652
Depending on subjective evaluations,
as to if he looks Jewish...
635
00:40:19,727 --> 00:40:22,560
...or has a Jewish personality,
or whatever else...
636
00:40:22,630 --> 00:40:24,928
...is subject to interpretation
and variation...
637
00:40:24,999 --> 00:40:28,264
...including the assertions
of the damned Jew himself.
638
00:40:28,636 --> 00:40:31,002
What does this do?
It subverts the Nuremberg Laws...
639
00:40:31,072 --> 00:40:32,972
...and perpetuates disrespect for the law.
640
00:40:33,041 --> 00:40:35,339
I think we are basing
our proposals carefully...
641
00:40:35,410 --> 00:40:38,140
No, with all due respect and all frankness,
it's a tangle.
642
00:40:38,213 --> 00:40:39,805
And this is not pride of authorship.
643
00:40:39,881 --> 00:40:44,113
I'm simply reacting to the bureaucratic
train wreck that's to follow.
644
00:40:46,287 --> 00:40:50,246
Please, it is simply solved.
Sterilize them all.
645
00:40:53,995 --> 00:40:57,795
We could call it "medical re-socialization"
or something.
646
00:40:57,865 --> 00:40:59,264
We can find ways.
647
00:40:59,334 --> 00:41:02,701
The biological necessities
are all met. My...
648
00:41:03,371 --> 00:41:06,807
The Nuremberg Laws are respected,
a simple procedure...
649
00:41:06,874 --> 00:41:08,273
A snip here, a snip there...
650
00:41:08,343 --> 00:41:09,867
This is not a joke!
651
00:41:09,944 --> 00:41:11,707
- It is not...
- X-rays.
652
00:41:12,347 --> 00:41:15,043
- That is how you do it.
- Exactly how?
653
00:41:16,251 --> 00:41:19,948
You have this X-ray machine
built into a counter or a desk.
654
00:41:20,054 --> 00:41:24,650
Some unfortunate Jew stands at attention
in front of the desk, and...
655
00:41:24,926 --> 00:41:26,518
I am not coming to your office.
656
00:41:26,594 --> 00:41:31,429
So you either raise the desk
or lower the desk, depending on...
657
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,194
A certain subterfuge...
658
00:41:33,268 --> 00:41:36,635
- I do not know if it sterilizes the female.
- A technical question.
659
00:41:36,704 --> 00:41:38,399
Not voluntary, you're saying?
660
00:41:38,506 --> 00:41:41,270
Every Jew, of whatever degree,
whoever betrothed to...
661
00:41:41,342 --> 00:41:44,277
...however mixed,
whatever service to the state.
662
00:41:45,580 --> 00:41:47,878
You're saying
we don't need to evacuate them...
663
00:41:47,949 --> 00:41:50,816
- We pinch off the race at this generation.
- The Reich's law...
664
00:41:50,885 --> 00:41:53,319
We make the law we need.
Why am I telling you this?
665
00:41:53,388 --> 00:41:56,653
How many lawyers are in this room?
Raise your hand.
666
00:42:03,698 --> 00:42:06,496
Jesus Christ. It's worse than I thought.
667
00:42:06,901 --> 00:42:09,301
The children, what then for them?
668
00:42:11,372 --> 00:42:13,806
You just line them up
in front of their desks...
669
00:42:13,875 --> 00:42:16,810
...and X-rays toast their little gonads.
670
00:42:16,844 --> 00:42:17,956
If I might, for perspective:
671
00:42:17,956 --> 00:42:19,423
If I might, for perspective:
672
00:42:20,559 --> 00:42:23,892
We have already been using sterilization
for the mentally defective...
673
00:42:23,962 --> 00:42:26,396
...since 1939 in our T4 program.
674
00:42:26,632 --> 00:42:29,931
- T4?
- "Euthanasia" is the correct term, yes?
675
00:42:30,469 --> 00:42:33,438
Yes. Reichsführer Himmler
discussed it with the General.
676
00:42:33,505 --> 00:42:37,965
Apparently, a doctor at the biological
institute in Dresden has a simple injection.
677
00:42:38,477 --> 00:42:40,240
You can father no children.
678
00:42:40,412 --> 00:42:43,540
- Where can I get it?
- It would be useful with the ladies.
679
00:42:43,615 --> 00:42:44,809
"I am fixed, my dear."
680
00:42:44,883 --> 00:42:47,374
Of course,
it is as yet only tested with mice and rats.
681
00:42:47,819 --> 00:42:52,779
Actually, you would not need the injection,
just the papers to say that you had had it.
682
00:42:55,661 --> 00:42:58,152
I have figures, but they're not exact.
683
00:42:58,230 --> 00:43:02,428
Between 1933 and 1936, roughly 169,000...
684
00:43:02,501 --> 00:43:04,731
...and by now, to date, possibly 300,000...
685
00:43:04,903 --> 00:43:07,599
...under the Law for the Protection
of German Blood...
686
00:43:07,673 --> 00:43:10,005
...have been sterilized by various methods.
687
00:43:10,509 --> 00:43:14,502
X-rays, injecting some corrosive chemical
directly into the womb...
688
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:19,239
Yes, this was only for the Reich itself,
not occupied territories.
689
00:43:19,318 --> 00:43:21,377
- Yes.
- Yes.
690
00:43:23,221 --> 00:43:25,849
Are they fit for labor after these methods?
691
00:43:25,924 --> 00:43:30,224
With the X-rays, it's a problem of dosage.
Less a problem, I think, with the women.
692
00:43:32,431 --> 00:43:34,058
Less a problem with the women.
693
00:43:34,499 --> 00:43:36,899
Secretary Bühler makes
an important point.
694
00:43:37,069 --> 00:43:40,095
- Labor.
- Yes, exactly. Labor.
695
00:43:40,372 --> 00:43:42,704
I'm not implying
that our problems are the same...
696
00:43:42,774 --> 00:43:46,210
...as in the Eastern Territories,
but the need for workers...
697
00:43:46,278 --> 00:43:50,977
...as the military need men,
the need for production is only growing.
698
00:43:51,783 --> 00:43:55,947
That is why sterilization is
the preferred option.
699
00:43:57,255 --> 00:43:59,917
It leaves our captive workforce,
what remains of it...
700
00:43:59,992 --> 00:44:03,359
I do not think our people want to wait
a generation to end this problem.
701
00:44:03,428 --> 00:44:07,956
We have deferred Jews by the thousands
in armaments, construction.
702
00:44:09,735 --> 00:44:12,533
Wait, I can give you an exemplar.
703
00:44:12,604 --> 00:44:16,563
It's just a quote from a letter
from the Debruder Public Company...
704
00:44:16,642 --> 00:44:19,133
...but there are many companies...
705
00:44:19,444 --> 00:44:22,004
The sound of his voice,
and the sun goes down.
706
00:44:22,681 --> 00:44:26,082
- The specialist for I.G. Farben...
- I do not think you understand...
707
00:44:26,251 --> 00:44:29,482
Over 10,000 Jews
in the metal industry alone...
708
00:44:29,888 --> 00:44:33,415
...about 19,000 altogether in Berlin,
and that's just Berlin...
709
00:44:33,492 --> 00:44:37,792
...failing our production goals, even now,
for the war!
710
00:44:38,597 --> 00:44:41,031
He makes a point.
We are moving too fast here.
711
00:44:41,099 --> 00:44:42,930
Nothing has been thought through.
712
00:44:43,068 --> 00:44:46,196
The questions of sterilization
and deportation are separate.
713
00:44:46,271 --> 00:44:49,240
- Yes, but linked.
- Deportation, evacuation, elimination.
714
00:44:49,307 --> 00:44:52,470
Where I am, we have to move them out
now, quickly, wipe them away.
715
00:44:52,711 --> 00:44:54,679
- Yeah, not to return.
- Never to return.
716
00:44:54,746 --> 00:44:57,840
There are labor shortages
in the Reich and elsewhere we control.
717
00:44:57,916 --> 00:45:01,374
- There is no argument about that.
- Everywhere, and in our four-year plan...
718
00:45:01,453 --> 00:45:04,251
Not that fucking four-year plan again.
719
00:45:04,322 --> 00:45:07,155
But our war is against the Jews.
I do not see the logic...
720
00:45:07,426 --> 00:45:11,760
We won't sterilize them and wait until they
die, or sterilize and exterminate the race.
721
00:45:11,830 --> 00:45:14,628
That's farcical.
Dead people don't hump or get pregnant.
722
00:45:14,700 --> 00:45:18,830
Death is the most reliable form
of sterilization. Put it that way.
723
00:45:22,507 --> 00:45:24,236
So who is deferred?
724
00:45:26,478 --> 00:45:30,209
First-degree mixed married to Germans
with second-degree children are exempt.
725
00:45:30,282 --> 00:45:33,479
Individually, first-degree mixed
who have special privilege.
726
00:45:33,552 --> 00:45:36,521
- For labor, if needed...
- I can't give a rule for everything.
727
00:45:36,822 --> 00:45:38,380
Can I just say one word more?
728
00:45:39,191 --> 00:45:43,594
In the obligation
to maintain a lawful society...
729
00:45:43,662 --> 00:45:45,254
Another lecture.
730
00:45:45,697 --> 00:45:47,858
...what we would be saying to those...
731
00:45:47,933 --> 00:45:50,663
Where we depart from the law
in deporting a Jew married...
732
00:45:50,736 --> 00:45:52,067
Good! Deport them!
733
00:45:52,137 --> 00:45:55,800
- A new law will be required...
- Write it! Why don't you write it?
734
00:45:55,874 --> 00:45:59,173
Consider: The Jews are taken away.
735
00:45:59,244 --> 00:46:02,543
The German spouses will inherit
the property of the Jewish spouses...
736
00:46:02,614 --> 00:46:05,105
...go to court,
and apply for a death certificate.
737
00:46:05,183 --> 00:46:07,413
What happens to your secret killings then?
738
00:46:07,519 --> 00:46:11,580
No matter what you call them,
the secret is out, dear friends.
739
00:46:12,457 --> 00:46:16,553
Perhaps not inheritance.
Perhaps divorce, freedom to remarry.
740
00:46:16,628 --> 00:46:18,653
So a requisite divorce mechanism...
741
00:46:18,730 --> 00:46:21,028
...dealing with these marriages
to be terminated...
742
00:46:21,099 --> 00:46:24,296
...becomes the Reich's responsibility
to its German citizens.
743
00:46:24,402 --> 00:46:26,370
- Fuck.
- I am speaking.
744
00:46:29,174 --> 00:46:32,041
Except for those initiated before
the spouse is deported...
745
00:46:32,110 --> 00:46:36,069
...the courts will be so busy with divorces,
they'll be on 24-hour shifts.
746
00:46:36,148 --> 00:46:39,379
- The litigation wait will be decades.
- Or longer.
747
00:46:39,451 --> 00:46:43,911
I have no sympathy with Germans who
climbed in bed with members of the tribe.
748
00:46:43,989 --> 00:46:47,049
Nor do I.
I ask myself, "What is his concern?"
749
00:46:47,626 --> 00:46:50,652
When the ruling principle
of our government and our party...
750
00:46:50,729 --> 00:46:55,132
...is to make Germany Jew-free,
you are arguing to let these Yids stay?
751
00:46:55,333 --> 00:46:59,861
To influence, to operate freely,
with the exception that you neuter them?
752
00:47:00,806 --> 00:47:02,398
They are not free.
753
00:47:02,541 --> 00:47:05,977
The law restricts them, it isolates them.
I am merely speaking of...
754
00:47:06,044 --> 00:47:09,445
- Perhaps the judge has love for them.
- Yes, special love.
755
00:47:09,514 --> 00:47:12,005
For whom? For Jews?
756
00:47:13,852 --> 00:47:16,685
Wonderful. You don't have my credentials.
757
00:47:17,155 --> 00:47:20,215
Forgive me. From your uniform,
I can see that you're shallow...
758
00:47:20,292 --> 00:47:21,953
...ignorant, and naive about the Jews.
759
00:47:22,060 --> 00:47:25,325
Your line, what the Party rants on about...
760
00:47:25,397 --> 00:47:28,764
...is how inferior they are,
some subspecies...
761
00:47:28,834 --> 00:47:31,394
...and I keep saying how wrong that is!
762
00:47:31,870 --> 00:47:35,863
They are sublimely clever!
And they are intelligent as well.
763
00:47:37,375 --> 00:47:40,310
My indictments to them are stronger
because they are real...
764
00:47:40,378 --> 00:47:42,073
...not your uneducated ideology.
765
00:47:42,147 --> 00:47:45,913
They are arrogant, self-obsessed,
calculating and reject the Christ.
766
00:47:45,984 --> 00:47:48,009
I won't have them pollute German blood.
767
00:47:48,086 --> 00:47:50,077
- Please, Doctor.
- He doesn't understand.
768
00:47:50,155 --> 00:47:51,747
And neither do his people.
769
00:47:51,823 --> 00:47:55,725
Deal with the reality of the Jew,
and the world will applaud us.
770
00:47:56,394 --> 00:48:00,990
Treat them as imaginary phantoms,
evil, inhuman fantasies...
771
00:48:01,066 --> 00:48:03,830
...and the world will have
justified contempt for us.
772
00:48:03,902 --> 00:48:06,598
To kill them without regard for the law
martyrs them...
773
00:48:06,671 --> 00:48:08,696
...which will be their victory.
774
00:48:08,773 --> 00:48:13,142
Sterilization recognizes them
as a part of our species...
775
00:48:13,211 --> 00:48:16,476
...but prevents them from being
a part of our race.
776
00:48:17,315 --> 00:48:18,782
They'll disappear soon enough.
777
00:48:18,850 --> 00:48:22,081
And we will have acted in defense
of our race and of our species...
778
00:48:22,153 --> 00:48:23,381
...and by the law.
779
00:48:23,455 --> 00:48:25,859
He spoke of the Law
for the Protection of German Blood.
780
00:48:25,993 --> 00:48:27,517
I wrote that law.
781
00:48:28,862 --> 00:48:31,353
When you have my credentials,
then we'll discuss...
782
00:48:31,432 --> 00:48:33,832
...who loves the Jews and who hates them.
783
00:48:35,602 --> 00:48:37,729
Pigs don't know how to hate.
784
00:48:39,406 --> 00:48:42,637
I know, too,
when it comes to the half-mixed...
785
00:48:42,709 --> 00:48:46,304
...that to kill them abandons
that half of their blood which is German.
786
00:48:47,648 --> 00:48:49,309
I'll remember you.
787
00:48:49,583 --> 00:48:51,983
You should. I'm very well known.
788
00:48:55,422 --> 00:48:59,188
- We should take a moment just to...
- Absolutely.
789
00:48:59,259 --> 00:49:00,988
If I may, for a moment.
790
00:49:01,061 --> 00:49:05,896
Dr. Stuckart has raised the question of
administrative consequences of evacuation.
791
00:49:05,966 --> 00:49:09,060
He is a very brilliant scholar of the law...
792
00:49:09,136 --> 00:49:13,732
...and, I'm sure, just as totally committed
to a Jew-free Europe as any of us.
793
00:49:15,108 --> 00:49:17,133
Let us take a moment.
794
00:49:18,345 --> 00:49:20,108
Go on with the food.
795
00:49:35,562 --> 00:49:36,688
More lemon.
796
00:49:38,332 --> 00:49:42,598
If you are suggesting that you have
dominion over me, just remember this:
797
00:49:42,669 --> 00:49:46,867
Even the Party,
which I have served loyally since 1922...
798
00:49:46,940 --> 00:49:49,101
...answers to the government.
799
00:49:49,176 --> 00:49:52,737
They both answer to the Führer.
You may be a friend of Göring...
800
00:49:52,813 --> 00:49:56,442
...but if you're a betting man,
put your money on Bormann.
801
00:49:57,284 --> 00:49:59,844
Hear you've been flying
that little plane of yours.
802
00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:01,478
This morning, yes.
803
00:50:01,555 --> 00:50:04,524
I'm never comfortable off the ground.
Not me, I admit.
804
00:50:04,591 --> 00:50:08,254
Nietzsche advises the secret
to enjoying life is to live dangerously.
805
00:50:08,328 --> 00:50:10,592
He enjoyed it so much he went mad.
806
00:50:10,664 --> 00:50:13,497
Look at the world,
and tell me the pleasures of sanity.
807
00:50:13,567 --> 00:50:14,795
Excuse me, Doctor.
808
00:50:14,868 --> 00:50:17,666
Would you join me for a moment?
Thank you.
809
00:50:37,090 --> 00:50:38,648
We will accomplish this.
810
00:50:38,725 --> 00:50:42,627
I will not allow administrative
technicalities to slow it down.
811
00:50:43,163 --> 00:50:47,065
Every agency will jump to follow my order,
or arses will sting.
812
00:50:47,301 --> 00:50:52,034
And there are no shortages of meat hooks
on which to hang enemies of the state.
813
00:50:53,740 --> 00:50:56,231
This will be an SS operation.
814
00:50:56,777 --> 00:51:00,736
And as the war goes on, the SS will
more and more command the agenda...
815
00:51:00,814 --> 00:51:04,545
...and put marks against the names
of the less than cooperative.
816
00:51:04,618 --> 00:51:06,210
You have a choice to make.
817
00:51:06,286 --> 00:51:08,481
You understand that I respect the...
818
00:51:08,555 --> 00:51:10,546
Please.
819
00:51:10,757 --> 00:51:13,123
You will still have to make your choice.
820
00:51:13,393 --> 00:51:15,088
Do not let a strutting...
821
00:51:15,162 --> 00:51:18,825
...imbecilic, porcine prick
like Klopfer make it for you.
822
00:51:20,467 --> 00:51:21,957
I'd rather not see the bullies...
823
00:51:22,035 --> 00:51:24,765
...I admit we have more
than our share of them in the SS...
824
00:51:24,838 --> 00:51:27,534
...take too much of an interest in you.
825
00:51:29,910 --> 00:51:32,572
- Interest in me?
- Do you not think?
826
00:51:33,780 --> 00:51:36,874
And all I want from this meeting
is unanimity...
827
00:51:37,017 --> 00:51:40,180
...and no trouble
getting what has to be done, done.
828
00:51:42,155 --> 00:51:45,283
With you at my side, so much is possible.
829
00:51:57,771 --> 00:51:59,204
I've done this arithmetic.
830
00:51:59,272 --> 00:52:03,140
The real size of the labor force is alreadya million less than the figures show.
831
00:52:03,210 --> 00:52:06,702
The economic considerations are not
the only considerations.
832
00:52:06,780 --> 00:52:09,271
I'll say they're not.
Have you done the extrapolations?
833
00:52:09,349 --> 00:52:13,410
My friend, with due respect,
may I say, "Fuck the extrapolations"?
834
00:52:17,457 --> 00:52:20,915
I hope you understand,
I want to be as useful as I can.
835
00:52:22,396 --> 00:52:24,728
- We must be in contact.
- Exactly.
836
00:52:30,037 --> 00:52:31,470
No one listens.
837
00:52:33,940 --> 00:52:37,774
From where he sits,
he does not have the ghettoes or the stink.
838
00:52:37,844 --> 00:52:41,871
And he's burglarizing administrative
control from the Governor-General.
839
00:52:41,948 --> 00:52:45,213
- Privileges of rank.
- I don't hear any urgency.
840
00:52:45,519 --> 00:52:49,114
Privileges of rank. The higher you go,
the more infallibility is bestowed.
841
00:52:49,189 --> 00:52:51,817
But I don't hear any
cut-the-bureaucracy solutions.
842
00:52:51,892 --> 00:52:53,416
Our problems.
843
00:52:53,827 --> 00:52:56,853
You're right.
He does not have our problems.
844
00:52:56,930 --> 00:52:59,296
Crap. "The privileges of rank."
845
00:52:59,599 --> 00:53:02,830
All that matters is the SS blood group
tattooed under your arm.
846
00:53:02,903 --> 00:53:04,871
That's a secret password for you people.
847
00:53:04,938 --> 00:53:07,236
What are these suspicions?
848
00:53:07,374 --> 00:53:11,242
I will tell you this: When cholera hits
the ghettoes, and typhoid...
849
00:53:11,311 --> 00:53:14,769
...your tattoos won't protect you
from shitting your guts out...
850
00:53:14,848 --> 00:53:16,975
...until you dry up and die.
851
00:53:17,384 --> 00:53:19,784
Then tell me about infallibility.
852
00:53:20,687 --> 00:53:23,747
Those little Nuremberg country sausages,
the gritty little ones.
853
00:53:23,824 --> 00:53:27,760
- You can keep your oysters. What is that?
- Can you get them here?
854
00:53:28,762 --> 00:53:30,559
- Lange?
- Yes, sir?
855
00:53:31,331 --> 00:53:35,563
Who were those 30,000 you say you shot,
when you say you shot?
856
00:53:35,802 --> 00:53:38,362
In Riga, Latvia.
857
00:53:38,438 --> 00:53:41,771
27,800 I have some responsibility for.
858
00:53:43,009 --> 00:53:47,343
And stood by with my men and allowed
Latvian civilians to kill in mobs.
859
00:53:49,216 --> 00:53:54,449
I received memos directing the,
one would say, "evacuation" of Jews...
860
00:53:54,521 --> 00:53:59,254
...who, shot and buried in soil and corpses,
managed to crawl out, still alive.
861
00:54:00,727 --> 00:54:02,558
Not exactly war, is it?
862
00:54:04,631 --> 00:54:07,691
- And gas chambers about to come?
- What gas chambers?
863
00:54:08,635 --> 00:54:09,932
Gas chambers?
864
00:54:10,003 --> 00:54:11,766
I hear rumors, yes.
865
00:54:16,009 --> 00:54:18,842
This is more than war.
866
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,979
- Must be a different word for this.
- Try "chaos."
867
00:54:24,184 --> 00:54:28,245
Yes. The rest is argument,
the curse of my profession.
868
00:54:28,488 --> 00:54:30,432
I studied law as well.
869
00:54:31,367 --> 00:54:33,927
How do you apply that education
to what you do?
870
00:54:34,169 --> 00:54:37,332
It has made me distrustful of language.
871
00:54:38,841 --> 00:54:40,832
A gun means what it says.
872
00:54:44,346 --> 00:54:46,075
Do we need all this discussion?
873
00:54:46,148 --> 00:54:50,084
- He has his style.
- Yes. Very persuasive.
874
00:54:52,154 --> 00:54:53,849
Is there a problem, Doctor?
875
00:54:53,922 --> 00:54:56,584
He is non compos mentis.
876
00:55:12,574 --> 00:55:14,804
- It's your boss.
- On your feet.
877
00:55:20,416 --> 00:55:23,385
Beautiful lake. Is it not? I'm sorry.
878
00:55:24,553 --> 00:55:28,990
After the war, I shall live in this house
and rise to see that lake every day...
879
00:55:29,058 --> 00:55:31,686
...and dream comforting things.
880
00:55:32,928 --> 00:55:37,524
I am a dreamer, as I think you are.
881
00:55:38,033 --> 00:55:39,967
Yes, it is a dream world.
882
00:55:40,035 --> 00:55:42,401
Maj. Lange, how can I help you?
883
00:55:43,038 --> 00:55:45,097
Politics is a nasty game.
884
00:55:45,641 --> 00:55:49,771
I think soldiering requires the discipline
to do the unthinkable...
885
00:55:50,079 --> 00:55:53,014
...and politics requires the skill...
886
00:55:53,082 --> 00:55:56,381
...to get someone else
to do the unthinkable for you.
887
00:55:56,452 --> 00:55:59,615
But we need the politics,
so we put up with them.
888
00:56:00,823 --> 00:56:02,848
- At least for now.
- Yes.
889
00:56:03,759 --> 00:56:06,091
We look forward to a better day.
890
00:56:07,029 --> 00:56:08,553
A peaceful world.
891
00:56:09,431 --> 00:56:11,558
A German culture triumphant.
892
00:56:13,836 --> 00:56:15,827
That is what we work for.
893
00:56:16,505 --> 00:56:18,598
I appreciate the words, sir.
894
00:56:19,108 --> 00:56:22,236
We are servant-soldiers, are we not?
895
00:56:22,444 --> 00:56:25,242
- Yes, that is what we are.
- Indeed.
896
00:56:29,518 --> 00:56:31,110
Did you ask him?
897
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:32,987
Ask him what?
898
00:56:33,155 --> 00:56:37,216
- Does he have a little Jewish blood?
- No, not yet.
899
00:56:38,227 --> 00:56:40,252
Inform me when he answers.
900
00:56:47,136 --> 00:56:49,127
That's what I heard.
901
00:56:49,204 --> 00:56:51,934
A grandmother or a grandfather.
902
00:56:52,875 --> 00:56:54,399
His father.
903
00:56:55,511 --> 00:56:59,948
That's the rumor, and if it is true,
how happy would he be to tell you?
904
00:57:01,583 --> 00:57:04,143
- I want a work document in two days.
- Yes.
905
00:57:04,219 --> 00:57:07,154
- No more than 30 copies.
- Yes, sir. 30 numbered.
906
00:57:07,222 --> 00:57:11,852
And those spools, the stenotype record,
have it destroyed.
907
00:57:11,927 --> 00:57:13,189
Yes, sir.
908
00:57:13,729 --> 00:57:16,459
- Let's get them back in here.
- All right.
909
00:57:19,001 --> 00:57:21,561
- Who's up there, sir?
- Dr. Klopfer.
910
00:57:22,104 --> 00:57:23,196
Kritzinger is...
911
00:57:24,773 --> 00:57:27,571
The gentleman outside walking: Find him.
912
00:57:36,018 --> 00:57:37,076
Sir?
913
00:57:41,557 --> 00:57:43,218
It has got colder.
914
00:57:50,866 --> 00:57:52,891
What a pretty little maid.
915
00:57:54,002 --> 00:57:58,029
I would like to remind all of you
that our Führer enunciates the goals.
916
00:57:58,106 --> 00:58:01,598
It is our task to turn his vision into reality.
917
00:58:01,743 --> 00:58:04,371
We can debate the "how"
and the "when" up to a point.
918
00:58:04,446 --> 00:58:07,244
We can not debate the "if," Dr. Stuckart.
919
00:58:07,916 --> 00:58:12,046
- I am not purposely contentious.
- Nor was I trying to be insulting.
920
00:58:14,856 --> 00:58:16,756
I would like to try...
921
00:58:23,031 --> 00:58:26,933
We will now discuss method.
Who would like to speak on this?
922
00:58:28,170 --> 00:58:30,502
What is being advocated here?
923
00:58:30,672 --> 00:58:34,199
A law dissolving all marriages
between mixed and German?
924
00:58:34,610 --> 00:58:36,578
- Why not?
- Courts adjust.
925
00:58:36,778 --> 00:58:38,769
As we all do. That is not the point.
926
00:58:38,847 --> 00:58:40,815
You're too inflexible, my friend.
927
00:58:40,882 --> 00:58:44,283
You know damn well the courts will be
happy to be rid of the problem.
928
00:58:44,353 --> 00:58:48,619
I'm pointing out a problem of casting every
Jew and non-Jew into a sausage machine.
929
00:58:48,690 --> 00:58:52,285
If that's the plan, I'm asking
that some legal framework be built.
930
00:58:52,361 --> 00:58:54,556
Let's do it. If we skip a few steps, so be it.
931
00:58:54,630 --> 00:58:56,257
"Skip a few steps!"
932
00:58:56,331 --> 00:58:59,061
When you plane down a piece of wood,
a few chips go flying.
933
00:58:59,134 --> 00:59:01,068
Jews or judges, who are the chips?
934
00:59:01,136 --> 00:59:03,604
I would like to say...
935
00:59:04,706 --> 00:59:09,166
...in this discussion,
regarding the tone, first...
936
00:59:09,711 --> 00:59:13,579
...abandon your misperception that
Dr. Stuckart has affection for the Jews.
937
00:59:13,649 --> 00:59:18,552
I'm sure he does not, and his heart is pure.
He believes in supremacy of law.
938
00:59:19,588 --> 00:59:21,055
Jews...
939
00:59:21,857 --> 00:59:25,850
...in any event,
will vanish soon enough from Germany.
940
00:59:26,895 --> 00:59:28,760
But the method, yes.
941
00:59:29,665 --> 00:59:32,964
You accept, casually...
942
00:59:33,802 --> 00:59:36,100
...the obliteration of legal distinctions...
943
00:59:36,204 --> 00:59:39,696
...and the use of extreme,
inconceivable measures...
944
00:59:39,775 --> 00:59:44,508
...that, I say again, that our Chancellery
was assured would not be used.
945
00:59:44,579 --> 00:59:46,672
That is where we have come.
946
00:59:47,082 --> 00:59:49,880
A soldier cannot decide
where he chooses to fight.
947
00:59:51,787 --> 00:59:52,811
Where are we here?
948
00:59:52,888 --> 00:59:55,618
Gen. Heydrich invited your opinions
on the methodology.
949
00:59:55,691 --> 00:59:56,715
Indeed.
950
00:59:56,792 --> 00:59:58,157
I can say this.
951
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:02,228
You're going to have your work cut out
with the Catholic church...
952
01:00:02,297 --> 01:00:04,424
...with the Reich divorcing
all those Catholics.
953
01:00:04,499 --> 01:00:07,263
That's not going to make
our priests very comfortable...
954
01:00:07,336 --> 01:00:08,530
...or the Vatican.
955
01:00:08,603 --> 01:00:12,505
The Vatican has no love for the Jew.
Why should they interfere?
956
01:00:12,641 --> 01:00:14,973
The Lutherans would not object either.
957
01:00:15,077 --> 01:00:17,011
I agree with Dr. Stuckart.
958
01:00:17,079 --> 01:00:20,515
The problems outweigh
the short-term ideological satisfactions.
959
01:00:20,582 --> 01:00:23,016
Military necessity comes first.
Am I wrong?
960
01:00:23,485 --> 01:00:25,214
Why can this not be simpler?
961
01:00:25,587 --> 01:00:30,081
The Ministry of Justice, which I represent,
can live with it gladly.
962
01:00:30,392 --> 01:00:32,292
Maj. Lange, an opinion?
963
01:00:34,329 --> 01:00:36,194
General...
964
01:00:36,264 --> 01:00:39,631
...I accept the chain of command.
I have no other gods before it.
965
01:00:40,202 --> 01:00:42,636
The politics of it all...
966
01:00:44,439 --> 01:00:45,701
No, nothing.
967
01:00:45,774 --> 01:00:48,072
- We are more than a nation of armies.
- I hope.
968
01:00:48,777 --> 01:00:50,005
General?
969
01:00:50,445 --> 01:00:54,438
If Dr. Stuckart is saying we should turn
a few Jew-loving Germans against us...
970
01:00:54,516 --> 01:00:57,246
...I would happily throw them all
on the same transport.
971
01:00:57,319 --> 01:01:00,550
It is, however, a political decision,
not mine particularly to make.
972
01:01:00,822 --> 01:01:04,053
Can you step back from trying
to settle these details today?
973
01:01:04,126 --> 01:01:06,151
Other agencies will want to be heard.
974
01:01:06,228 --> 01:01:08,822
Now, that is wisdom from my neighbor.
975
01:01:08,930 --> 01:01:12,957
I favor sterilization, I think,
but not wholesale...
976
01:01:14,002 --> 01:01:15,715
...what Gen. Heydrich outlined earlier.
Why not?
977
01:01:15,715 --> 01:01:16,943
...what Gen. Heydrich outlined earlier.
Why not?
978
01:01:17,250 --> 01:01:21,311
X-rays, injections: Why are we discussing
theoretical solutions?
979
01:01:21,755 --> 01:01:25,714
Goethe said that theories are gray,
but that real life is green.
980
01:01:25,792 --> 01:01:28,420
Stop chattering, and be realists here.
981
01:01:28,495 --> 01:01:31,794
I insist, as I have before,
that the best way is the quickest way.
982
01:01:31,865 --> 01:01:35,494
Purge them totally off our land,
ideally, off our planet.
983
01:01:38,305 --> 01:01:41,536
And for the Eastern Territories,
leave us able-bodied workers.
984
01:01:41,608 --> 01:01:45,908
If they are separated,
the men from the women, QED, no babies.
985
01:01:46,146 --> 01:01:48,546
And evacuate the others, as you outlined.
986
01:01:48,748 --> 01:01:50,147
Get it done.
987
01:01:50,483 --> 01:01:52,678
All right, we've gone around.
988
01:01:53,620 --> 01:01:55,349
I have your opinions.
989
01:01:55,422 --> 01:01:58,482
I want to move on.
Let's have the food in here.
990
01:01:58,825 --> 01:02:01,817
I wish to keep going.
We can eat while we work.
991
01:02:02,529 --> 01:02:05,191
To clarify what I agree with
and what I do not...
992
01:02:05,498 --> 01:02:09,093
...I agree with the doctor about
the complications of all the variations.
993
01:02:09,169 --> 01:02:13,868
But I favor deportation
or sausage-making, right?
994
01:02:14,541 --> 01:02:18,705
I hear talk from some of you who live here
in Germany about labor force.
995
01:02:18,778 --> 01:02:21,713
What is the reality,
at least for the Polish Jews?
996
01:02:21,781 --> 01:02:23,976
Damn few of them are fit
for labor of any kind.
997
01:02:24,184 --> 01:02:28,314
You do not find Jews with dirt under
their fingernails, so who is this labor force?
998
01:02:28,388 --> 01:02:32,119
What we have are ghettoes
filled and overfilled...
999
01:02:32,192 --> 01:02:36,094
...with the scabrous, the rotting.
We do not have the food for them.
1000
01:02:36,162 --> 01:02:39,029
The stink of their diseases
does not stop at the walls.
1001
01:02:39,099 --> 01:02:41,966
And you ship them up to us
by the thousands to deal with.
1002
01:02:42,035 --> 01:02:43,434
What are we to do?
1003
01:02:43,503 --> 01:02:45,801
We have no place to put them.
1004
01:02:46,439 --> 01:02:49,931
We have no more place to put our own.
We cannot shoot 3.5 million Jews.
1005
01:02:50,009 --> 01:02:52,477
We cannot poison them,
and we cannot use them.
1006
01:02:52,612 --> 01:02:56,048
You'll have Maj. Lange and his men
come in with their special methods.
1007
01:02:56,116 --> 01:02:59,882
- How many Rigas do we have to have?
- Build the wall higher.
1008
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:04,315
What we are asking, before you flood us
with all of these Jews...
1009
01:03:04,391 --> 01:03:08,794
...let us first clean out ours, empty our
ghettoes into whatever you have for them.
1010
01:03:08,862 --> 01:03:10,352
Military, too.
1011
01:03:11,664 --> 01:03:14,565
Mass shootings by our groups
create morale problems...
1012
01:03:14,634 --> 01:03:16,829
...especially when the Jew is
a German Jew...
1013
01:03:16,903 --> 01:03:19,337
...who is intellectually superior
to the Russian Jew.
1014
01:03:19,406 --> 01:03:23,672
Even with local civilians cooperating,
mass slaughter leaves a bad taste.
1015
01:03:23,743 --> 01:03:25,335
I can so testify.
1016
01:03:25,412 --> 01:03:28,472
We've had to deal with the backlash
when it comes to German ones.
1017
01:03:28,548 --> 01:03:31,984
If your method of disposing
all the Jews diverts military units...
1018
01:03:32,051 --> 01:03:35,851
...and rolling stock from the Eastern Front,
then it is a stupid choice.
1019
01:03:35,922 --> 01:03:39,016
Recognizing the priority
for ridding ourselves of the Jews...
1020
01:03:39,092 --> 01:03:42,220
I'm not arguing priority,
but method and expediency.
1021
01:03:42,295 --> 01:03:44,388
I'm sorry, why can't you shoot them?
1022
01:03:44,931 --> 01:03:48,526
Didn't you hear him? It is the worst thing
for our soldiers to be doing.
1023
01:03:48,601 --> 01:03:51,661
They are women and children,
and soldiers have a sense of honor.
1024
01:03:51,738 --> 01:03:53,433
Plenty of honor in following orders.
1025
01:03:53,506 --> 01:03:56,532
- Would you like to volunteer?
- Enthusiastically.
1026
01:03:56,643 --> 01:03:58,440
- I will.
- You will not.
1027
01:03:58,578 --> 01:04:01,308
Eleven million, even half that,
executed in small batches...
1028
01:04:01,381 --> 01:04:04,145
...would be asinine,
for the reasons Dr. Meyer mentioned.
1029
01:04:04,217 --> 01:04:07,778
Inefficient use of time, troops,
equipment, bullets. No.
1030
01:04:08,221 --> 01:04:12,988
As Maj. Lange will learn,
using gas is much cheaper and less public.
1031
01:04:13,193 --> 01:04:14,387
Please.
1032
01:04:15,728 --> 01:04:19,186
The T4 euthanasia program
has used injections...
1033
01:04:19,265 --> 01:04:21,631
...but most effectively...
1034
01:04:22,368 --> 01:04:24,802
...a carbon-monoxide gas.
1035
01:04:25,004 --> 01:04:29,600
We began using it on Polish mental
patients in Brandenburg in January, 1940.
1036
01:04:29,909 --> 01:04:34,573
An area is constructed
that resembles a shower room or a bath.
1037
01:04:35,248 --> 01:04:38,843
The subjects are brought in naked,
as though for a shower...
1038
01:04:38,918 --> 01:04:42,979
...and outside, stainless-steel tanks
pump in pure carbon monoxide...
1039
01:04:43,056 --> 01:04:45,820
...which, what it does is...
1040
01:04:49,295 --> 01:04:51,092
I have figures.
1041
01:04:54,934 --> 01:04:59,098
In May, this program was extended
to Hartheim and in June at Sonnenstein.
1042
01:04:59,172 --> 01:05:03,836
In the first six months of 1940,
8,765 persons were gassed.
1043
01:05:03,943 --> 01:05:07,504
By the end of 1940, a total of 26,459.
1044
01:05:07,914 --> 01:05:10,974
By the end of August last year,
another 35,049.
1045
01:05:11,150 --> 01:05:14,551
We terminated this particular program,
however, on September 1.
1046
01:05:14,621 --> 01:05:19,058
In the end,
70,273 have been gassed by this method.
1047
01:05:19,359 --> 01:05:22,487
At this time,
we began the advanced program.
1048
01:05:22,562 --> 01:05:25,463
- The General Government knew nothing...
- Keep going.
1049
01:05:27,367 --> 01:05:31,394
Last summer, we ordered the construction
of 20 mobile gassing trucks...
1050
01:05:31,471 --> 01:05:34,565
...using their redirected exhaust
back into the chamber.
1051
01:05:34,641 --> 01:05:37,041
Three such trucks have been in use
since last month.
1052
01:05:37,310 --> 01:05:41,770
- But the Chelmno camp, now Kulmhof...
- Already constructed, under our noses.
1053
01:05:41,848 --> 01:05:44,840
In each truck,
you can get in 40 to 60 Jews at a time.
1054
01:05:44,918 --> 01:05:47,478
In fact, the more you have in,
the faster it works.
1055
01:05:47,554 --> 01:05:48,885
And the...
1056
01:05:49,589 --> 01:05:52,285
...carbon monoxide, what it does is...
1057
01:05:54,027 --> 01:05:56,018
The bodies come out pink.
1058
01:05:56,796 --> 01:05:59,594
- The gas turns them pink.
- That's a nice touch.
1059
01:05:59,666 --> 01:06:02,601
If it is already built, what is this meeting?
1060
01:06:02,869 --> 01:06:04,166
Why bother?
1061
01:06:07,206 --> 01:06:09,367
The system has shown that it works.
1062
01:06:09,909 --> 01:06:13,470
It will work for you. It is settling in.
1063
01:06:14,614 --> 01:06:17,208
The method is now defined.
1064
01:06:17,984 --> 01:06:21,044
The Jews go in red and come out pink.
That is progress.
1065
01:06:26,159 --> 01:06:28,127
I should never mix wine with whiskey.
1066
01:06:28,227 --> 01:06:29,888
What's the matter?
1067
01:06:31,764 --> 01:06:33,891
I think I will be all right.
1068
01:06:34,233 --> 01:06:37,202
Don't make excuses
if you have to leave for a minute.
1069
01:06:37,270 --> 01:06:38,931
Sort of a headache.
1070
01:06:39,372 --> 01:06:40,498
Hurry.
1071
01:06:48,047 --> 01:06:49,105
Eat.
1072
01:06:53,286 --> 01:06:56,153
- Fucking ridiculous!
- Not at all, sir.
1073
01:06:57,156 --> 01:06:59,784
- It could not be the mixing.
- The cigar?
1074
01:07:01,361 --> 01:07:03,386
Everything all right, sir?
1075
01:07:05,798 --> 01:07:07,527
Could be the cigar.
1076
01:07:08,334 --> 01:07:12,134
I could never abide them.
And my father would chew them.
1077
01:07:12,405 --> 01:07:15,465
His mouth was always full
of evil juice and pulp!
1078
01:07:15,541 --> 01:07:17,773
It would fill up, and he would have to spit!
1079
01:07:17,907 --> 01:07:19,898
I would leave it there, sir.
1080
01:07:20,443 --> 01:07:22,035
Cigarettes...
1081
01:07:23,112 --> 01:07:24,773
...they calm me down.
1082
01:07:25,247 --> 01:07:26,908
Settle my stomach.
1083
01:07:27,783 --> 01:07:29,444
They calm me down.
1084
01:07:33,456 --> 01:07:37,085
The problem is,
there are not enough of them in the world.
1085
01:07:42,998 --> 01:07:46,297
- We should be in there, should we not?
- Yes.
1086
01:07:49,205 --> 01:07:50,263
Sir?
1087
01:07:58,714 --> 01:08:00,648
- Is this clean?
- Yes, sir.
1088
01:08:00,716 --> 01:08:04,345
- Let me have a glass of water.
- I brought some out, sir.
1089
01:08:04,453 --> 01:08:06,216
I'm not addressing you.
1090
01:08:06,288 --> 01:08:10,247
- And a bromide tablet of some kind.
- You did not like the food?
1091
01:08:12,328 --> 01:08:13,818
I did not eat.
1092
01:08:14,530 --> 01:08:19,524
- I know of no philosophy...
- Philosophy clutters your argument.
1093
01:08:19,969 --> 01:08:23,336
We have to countenance the suffocating
glut of this parasitic people...
1094
01:08:23,406 --> 01:08:27,206
...consuming our food, contaminating
our professions, controlling our currency.
1095
01:08:27,276 --> 01:08:29,506
- None of that is true.
- In your philosophy.
1096
01:08:29,578 --> 01:08:32,103
Perhaps that's what the chosen people
were chosen for.
1097
01:08:32,181 --> 01:08:36,242
No, I apologize. You take a position,
you deserve a response.
1098
01:08:37,620 --> 01:08:39,087
It is a cold winter.
1099
01:08:39,288 --> 01:08:42,052
The war, in spite of the rallies,
posters and the radio...
1100
01:08:42,124 --> 01:08:46,720
...looks like a longer, harder war.
The Jews are in the way.
1101
01:08:48,197 --> 01:08:52,964
And how can I, one rather peripheral figure
in your grand plan, be in your way?
1102
01:08:54,236 --> 01:08:57,433
You underestimate your influence.
I do not.
1103
01:08:58,674 --> 01:09:01,234
You would be a hard man to bring down.
1104
01:09:02,044 --> 01:09:05,036
But certainly not impossible.
1105
01:09:07,016 --> 01:09:09,917
Did I hear you say earlier, "Be practical"?
1106
01:09:10,486 --> 01:09:11,475
Yes.
1107
01:09:11,554 --> 01:09:13,954
Then this is the moment to be practical...
1108
01:09:14,023 --> 01:09:18,221
...until a time when Germany
can afford your philosophy, which is what?
1109
01:09:18,394 --> 01:09:22,023
"Hound them, impoverish them,
exploit them, imprison them...
1110
01:09:22,097 --> 01:09:25,999
"...just do not kill them."
And you are God's noblest of men.
1111
01:09:26,068 --> 01:09:29,037
I find that truly remarkable.
1112
01:09:31,106 --> 01:09:35,372
Sitting at that table, I will ask for your
agreement to what has been proposed.
1113
01:09:36,378 --> 01:09:37,970
And I must answer now?
1114
01:09:38,047 --> 01:09:41,505
You will answer now,
or you will answer later.
1115
01:09:43,919 --> 01:09:45,648
I will not oppose you.
1116
01:09:45,721 --> 01:09:48,155
- I want more than that.
- Of course.
1117
01:09:48,991 --> 01:09:50,083
Good.
1118
01:09:50,459 --> 01:09:52,188
We understand each other.
1119
01:09:52,761 --> 01:09:55,457
May I tell you a story?
1120
01:09:55,631 --> 01:09:57,599
- A good one?
- A true one.
1121
01:09:59,134 --> 01:10:00,795
Tell me the story.
1122
01:10:02,438 --> 01:10:05,737
- It was told to me by a friend of mine.
- Yes?
1123
01:10:05,808 --> 01:10:07,002
He knew a man...
1124
01:10:07,343 --> 01:10:11,177
Do you realize how much thought and
effort has gone into the Four-Year Plan?
1125
01:10:11,247 --> 01:10:12,737
Plenty, I'm sure.
1126
01:10:12,815 --> 01:10:15,113
Reichsmarshal Göring is very clear.
1127
01:10:15,184 --> 01:10:18,676
The necessities of the war
mean that the Jew question has to wait.
1128
01:10:18,754 --> 01:10:20,085
There's been a new directive.
1129
01:10:20,155 --> 01:10:22,282
That says nothing about
a change in priorities.
1130
01:10:22,358 --> 01:10:23,552
- It is implied.
- Not by me.
1131
01:10:23,626 --> 01:10:25,719
Why is it your way or nothing?
I mean the SS.
1132
01:10:25,794 --> 01:10:27,762
- Now you understand.
- I do not.
1133
01:10:27,830 --> 01:10:29,627
You have stated it.
1134
01:10:29,698 --> 01:10:34,032
- When I report to the Reichsmarshal...
- There has been a new directive.
1135
01:10:34,370 --> 01:10:37,806
It has to be as the SS directs.
You can't sail a ship with two captains.
1136
01:10:37,873 --> 01:10:39,898
The Führer is the captain.
1137
01:10:40,476 --> 01:10:43,036
And for this,
he has given Heydrich the command.
1138
01:10:43,112 --> 01:10:45,137
Even Göring has given it.
1139
01:10:47,116 --> 01:10:49,175
- Resign yourself.
- Resign?
1140
01:10:49,251 --> 01:10:51,685
Yourself to how it's going to be done.
1141
01:10:51,921 --> 01:10:54,754
- A soldier cannot decide...
- Yeah, spare me.
1142
01:10:55,958 --> 01:10:59,052
A Communist, by definition,has a defect of reason.
1143
01:10:59,128 --> 01:11:01,494
The Russian is not a Communist,my friend.
1144
01:11:01,564 --> 01:11:04,362
The Russian does not give a damnwho runs things.
1145
01:11:04,633 --> 01:11:06,100
I have lived amongst them.
1146
01:11:06,168 --> 01:11:08,898
The Russian only cares
he has a bottle of vodka to suck...
1147
01:11:08,971 --> 01:11:11,599
...and some form of
domestic animal life to fuck.
1148
01:11:11,674 --> 01:11:16,475
Then he will happily sit in shit
his whole life. That is his politics.
1149
01:11:17,179 --> 01:11:18,942
I know those people.
1150
01:11:19,448 --> 01:11:20,847
That is the distinction.
1151
01:11:21,684 --> 01:11:23,777
I absolve the Jews of that.
1152
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:26,750
- What did Kritzinger say?
- Told me a story.
1153
01:11:26,822 --> 01:11:29,791
- Which was?
- Later. He made his point, he feels better.
1154
01:11:29,858 --> 01:11:32,088
- Nothing to eat?
- Lf there's time later.
1155
01:11:32,161 --> 01:11:34,459
We should've had music.
There must be a piano here.
1156
01:11:34,530 --> 01:11:38,557
- A string trio would add to the experience.
- Yes, I should have. I'm sorry.
1157
01:11:38,634 --> 01:11:42,070
Food, wine, brandy, no music?
A little lovely, late Beethoven?
1158
01:11:42,137 --> 01:11:44,697
- I'm sorry.
- It would not have been practical.
1159
01:11:44,773 --> 01:11:47,139
- Yes.
- I'm teasing.
1160
01:11:48,477 --> 01:11:51,105
I take it that you do not get good food
up in Cracow.
1161
01:11:51,513 --> 01:11:54,971
If all Berlin eats like you,
no wonder we have shortages.
1162
01:11:55,050 --> 01:11:58,918
Was it Mussolini who said,
"War reveals man's nobler character"?
1163
01:11:58,988 --> 01:12:00,546
Are we ready?
1164
01:12:00,623 --> 01:12:03,490
- Feeling better?
- Thank you, yes.
1165
01:12:03,626 --> 01:12:05,491
- Something you ate?
- I'm fine.
1166
01:12:05,561 --> 01:12:06,994
The cigar.
1167
01:12:07,062 --> 01:12:09,030
- The cigar?
- Unexpected.
1168
01:12:09,765 --> 01:12:11,630
We will forego cigars.
1169
01:12:12,768 --> 01:12:15,669
That should be no great trial.
Where did we stop?
1170
01:12:15,738 --> 01:12:20,232
The last remark was by Gen. Freisler.
"The Jews go in red and come out pink.
1171
01:12:20,309 --> 01:12:22,800
- "That is progress."
- The side-effect of CO gas.
1172
01:12:22,878 --> 01:12:25,972
There's more to say on that.
We're studying something faster...
1173
01:12:26,048 --> 01:12:29,984
...other faster and cheaper gases that
could be used. Cyanide is being tested...
1174
01:12:30,052 --> 01:12:32,020
...various forms.
- Electrocution, too?
1175
01:12:32,788 --> 01:12:34,756
There is research being done to see...
1176
01:12:34,823 --> 01:12:37,917
...whether electrocution
can even more effectively...
1177
01:12:39,061 --> 01:12:42,861
...quietly put an end,
a period to the end of the sentence.
1178
01:12:42,931 --> 01:12:46,833
Say one truckload an hour,
including putting the contents in...
1179
01:12:46,902 --> 01:12:50,998
...running the engines, removing the
contents, cleaning the inevitable soiling...
1180
01:12:51,073 --> 01:12:55,669
...on a 24-hour schedule,
1,440 a day times 20 trucks.
1181
01:12:55,944 --> 01:12:59,038
That's 28,800 a day...
1182
01:12:59,114 --> 01:13:02,481
...10,512,000 in one year.
1183
01:13:03,085 --> 01:13:06,316
But I cannot imagine you could operate
consistently at that rate.
1184
01:13:06,388 --> 01:13:08,219
Not to mention disposal.
1185
01:13:08,290 --> 01:13:10,155
Gas vans are a short-term field solution.
1186
01:13:10,225 --> 01:13:14,321
We have three camps where permanent
gas chambers will be operational.
1187
01:13:14,396 --> 01:13:15,454
I'm sorry?
1188
01:13:15,531 --> 01:13:18,557
Yes, I was about to mention Belzec,
Sobibor, and Treblinka...
1189
01:13:18,634 --> 01:13:22,297
...before Gen. Hofmann was taken ill.
- It was a fine cigar.
1190
01:13:22,504 --> 01:13:24,369
Ultimately,
the camps will be the primary locations.
1191
01:13:24,406 --> 01:13:25,503
Last summer, Reichsführer Himmler
asked me to visit a camp...
1192
01:13:25,503 --> 01:13:28,336
Last summer, Reichsführer Himmler
asked me to visit a camp...
1193
01:13:28,406 --> 01:13:31,102
...up in Upper Silesia called Auschwitz...
1194
01:13:31,176 --> 01:13:34,475
...which is very well isolated
and close to significant rail access.
1195
01:13:34,546 --> 01:13:37,606
We are turning that camp into
a major center, solid structures.
1196
01:13:37,682 --> 01:13:40,549
Here's where your Jewish labor
comes into play, Herr Neumann.
1197
01:13:40,618 --> 01:13:43,985
The Jews hold the bricks,
and build the buildings themselves.
1198
01:13:44,222 --> 01:13:48,784
When the structures are complete,
we expect to be able to process 2,500...
1199
01:13:48,860 --> 01:13:51,294
...an hour, not a day.
1200
01:13:51,529 --> 01:13:52,757
An hour.
1201
01:13:58,670 --> 01:14:01,002
And those numbers look a lot better.
1202
01:14:01,072 --> 01:14:03,097
2,500 an hour?
1203
01:14:03,208 --> 01:14:04,402
2,500?
1204
01:14:04,642 --> 01:14:08,408
At 24 hours a day, that is 60,000.
1205
01:14:09,347 --> 01:14:11,838
60,000 each day.
1206
01:14:13,751 --> 01:14:17,278
That's 21.9 million Jews a year...
1207
01:14:17,355 --> 01:14:19,220
...if ever there were that many.
1208
01:14:19,891 --> 01:14:22,121
We are also constructing
the means of disposal...
1209
01:14:22,193 --> 01:14:25,094
...which will obviously depend upon
the process of combustion.
1210
01:14:25,163 --> 01:14:28,064
Yes, industrial in nature,
large, commercial gas-fed ovens...
1211
01:14:28,133 --> 01:14:29,862
...no residue to speak of.
1212
01:14:37,075 --> 01:14:39,543
60,000 Jews every day...
1213
01:14:40,211 --> 01:14:41,872
...go up in smoke.
1214
01:14:43,314 --> 01:14:45,077
We can achieve that.
1215
01:14:45,984 --> 01:14:47,212
Imagine.
1216
01:15:01,099 --> 01:15:02,589
Assembly line!
1217
01:15:02,667 --> 01:15:04,862
Yes, the clever Americans
have shown us that...
1218
01:15:04,936 --> 01:15:07,837
...but we put it to the purpose of
a triumphant German vision.
1219
01:15:07,906 --> 01:15:10,306
Triumphant German vision.
1220
01:15:10,375 --> 01:15:12,536
So this is my command to you here.
1221
01:15:12,610 --> 01:15:15,408
Link arms, your units, your ministries...
1222
01:15:15,480 --> 01:15:18,074
...apply your intelligence,
apply your energies.
1223
01:15:18,983 --> 01:15:21,383
The machinery is waiting, feed it.
1224
01:15:21,452 --> 01:15:25,013
Get them on the trains.
Keep the trains rolling.
1225
01:15:25,223 --> 01:15:28,989
And history will honor us for having
the will and the vision to advance...
1226
01:15:29,060 --> 01:15:32,655
...the human race to greater purity
in a space of time so short...
1227
01:15:32,730 --> 01:15:35,358
...Charles Darwin would be astonished.
1228
01:15:35,934 --> 01:15:37,834
I want to bring this meeting to a close.
1229
01:15:37,902 --> 01:15:41,133
One matter we postponed is
the point at which mixed becomes...
1230
01:15:41,206 --> 01:15:44,266
...wholly German or wholly Jew.
That line will be drawn quickly.
1231
01:15:44,342 --> 01:15:48,745
I am not trying to rewrite your law,
but I am invoking Führer's princip.
1232
01:15:49,113 --> 01:15:51,547
His word is above all written law.
1233
01:15:52,283 --> 01:15:54,547
Do we have any disputes left to face here...
1234
01:15:54,619 --> 01:15:58,953
...either with my authority
or with what we have agreed?
1235
01:16:00,425 --> 01:16:01,517
General?
1236
01:16:01,593 --> 01:16:03,652
Let us astonish Charles Darwin.
1237
01:16:03,828 --> 01:16:06,661
I second the motion.
It is our most important war.
1238
01:16:06,731 --> 01:16:07,789
Sir?
1239
01:16:09,801 --> 01:16:12,736
We are discussing the inevitable
and bringing it about...
1240
01:16:12,804 --> 01:16:15,102
...in the most practical way
under one command.
1241
01:16:15,173 --> 01:16:19,200
I have no dispute with that.
I understand the realities...
1242
01:16:19,577 --> 01:16:22,512
- With the understanding that...
- And indeed...
1243
01:16:23,248 --> 01:16:25,375
...count on my support.
1244
01:16:26,818 --> 01:16:31,585
With the understanding that consideration
will be given to my proposal, yes, proceed.
1245
01:16:32,590 --> 01:16:34,524
I defer to the SS.
1246
01:16:35,260 --> 01:16:38,058
If you are to do it, then force feed it.
Speed it along.
1247
01:16:38,129 --> 01:16:42,896
Our situation, such as in Warsaw,
is difficult, edging towards disastrous.
1248
01:16:42,967 --> 01:16:44,298
Thank you.
1249
01:16:44,902 --> 01:16:47,996
Yes, what can I say?
My enthusiasm is boundless.
1250
01:16:49,173 --> 01:16:51,266
- Obviously.
- Sorry?
1251
01:16:51,576 --> 01:16:54,704
I trust my enthusiasm is clear,
is apparent. Yes!
1252
01:16:54,779 --> 01:16:55,837
Neumann?
1253
01:16:55,913 --> 01:17:00,350
I'd like to know that adequate labor
will still be available, especially skilled...
1254
01:17:00,418 --> 01:17:03,251
- On a case-by-case basis. Maj. Lange?
- Yes.
1255
01:17:03,788 --> 01:17:06,416
I urge that speed
that Dr. Meyer asked of you.
1256
01:17:06,491 --> 01:17:09,517
The Poles are not as disciplined
a population as we Germans.
1257
01:17:09,594 --> 01:17:11,960
I will report our will
to the Governor-General.
1258
01:17:12,030 --> 01:17:14,658
He'll understand I'm relieving him
of a burden. Colonel?
1259
01:17:14,732 --> 01:17:17,064
I thoroughly approve
and am anxious to start.
1260
01:17:17,135 --> 01:17:20,571
I look forward to working with your office,
and yours, Colonel.
1261
01:17:20,638 --> 01:17:22,503
The sooner, the better.
1262
01:17:27,545 --> 01:17:31,709
- The note-taking, General?
- I think we can now dispense with him.
1263
01:17:31,783 --> 01:17:35,310
Many of you took notes,
I'll give you the day to memorize them.
1264
01:17:35,386 --> 01:17:36,978
They are to be burned.
1265
01:17:37,055 --> 01:17:40,252
Col. Eichmann will prepare
a discrete transcript of this meeting.
1266
01:17:40,325 --> 01:17:41,656
You will each receive a copy.
1267
01:17:41,726 --> 01:17:44,593
It may be shown to superiors,
but to no one at a lower level.
1268
01:17:44,662 --> 01:17:48,154
All comments are to be sent,
in the most privileged way, to me...
1269
01:17:48,232 --> 01:17:50,029
...through Col. Eichmann.
1270
01:17:55,039 --> 01:17:56,131
Good.
1271
01:17:56,741 --> 01:17:59,039
We have accomplished something.
1272
01:17:59,644 --> 01:18:01,771
I thank all of you gentlemen.
1273
01:18:01,846 --> 01:18:04,007
Heil Hitler!
1274
01:18:04,148 --> 01:18:07,948
There is plenty of food left for those of you,
and please...
1275
01:18:08,886 --> 01:18:12,253
- Are you off, General?
- I have a few minutes. Come.
1276
01:18:25,470 --> 01:18:28,701
Leave him. His Führer lied to him.
I think he got the message.
1277
01:18:28,773 --> 01:18:30,570
General, just a word.
1278
01:18:33,911 --> 01:18:34,900
In here.
1279
01:18:44,922 --> 01:18:46,085
Stop it!
1280
01:18:48,287 --> 01:18:51,085
You. What are you doing?
You're in uniform.
1281
01:18:51,157 --> 01:18:53,489
I'm sorry, sir, it just seemed to happen.
1282
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:55,052
Not in uniform.
1283
01:18:55,328 --> 01:18:57,193
Nothing ever just happens.
1284
01:18:58,231 --> 01:19:00,893
If you prefer,
we can send you to the Russian front.
1285
01:19:00,967 --> 01:19:02,764
Clean off these cars!
1286
01:19:10,610 --> 01:19:12,544
- Are you leaving tonight?
- Yes.
1287
01:19:12,612 --> 01:19:14,546
Not another night in Berlin?
1288
01:19:14,614 --> 01:19:16,844
You have nothing to do, sir. I have.
1289
01:19:17,083 --> 01:19:20,883
- You surprised me at the end, Dr. Stuckart.
- Not my intention.
1290
01:19:23,856 --> 01:19:25,619
Leave the paper tapes with me.
1291
01:19:25,692 --> 01:19:29,059
We'll begin transcribing tomorrow,
but leave the tapes with me now.
1292
01:19:29,128 --> 01:19:31,961
- You want all the tapes, sir?
- Yes, all of them.
1293
01:19:33,900 --> 01:19:35,561
Dr. Stuckart's car!
1294
01:19:38,304 --> 01:19:39,635
Are you unwell?
1295
01:19:41,307 --> 01:19:43,298
Good night, Dr. Stuckart.
1296
01:19:46,245 --> 01:19:47,803
My car.
1297
01:19:52,418 --> 01:19:54,147
Gen. Hofmann's car!
1298
01:20:01,227 --> 01:20:03,354
It is night in Moscow already.
1299
01:20:05,331 --> 01:20:07,162
Soon, it will be dark here.
1300
01:20:09,302 --> 01:20:12,567
Do you think we'll ever see
the dawn in our lifetime?
1301
01:20:13,539 --> 01:20:17,805
Come spring, we'll be on the move again.
Keep you spirits up, Doctor.
1302
01:20:17,910 --> 01:20:19,309
The Governor-General has...
1303
01:20:19,378 --> 01:20:22,506
...specifically been told
that we would be the first area...
1304
01:20:22,582 --> 01:20:25,779
...to have our ghettos emptied,
the Jews evacuated. The possible...
1305
01:20:25,852 --> 01:20:28,320
I know the conditions, but you are wrong.
1306
01:20:28,454 --> 01:20:30,922
The first to be cleansed is Germany.
1307
01:20:31,324 --> 01:20:33,315
Then you. Germany first.
1308
01:20:33,392 --> 01:20:36,555
- The bureaucratic...
- This is my operation, no bureaucrat...
1309
01:20:36,629 --> 01:20:40,121
...with his nose in the rule book
and hand on his cock will slow it down.
1310
01:20:40,199 --> 01:20:42,895
We'll be moving Jews in days, not weeks.
1311
01:20:43,202 --> 01:20:46,228
You can start writing up
your train schedules.
1312
01:20:48,007 --> 01:20:50,407
Schubert Quintet in C Major.
1313
01:20:53,446 --> 01:20:55,914
The adagio will tear your heart out.
1314
01:20:59,118 --> 01:21:01,245
Tell the Governor-General
to expect my call.
1315
01:21:01,821 --> 01:21:04,187
- Have we helped your problem?
- Yes, I hope so.
1316
01:21:04,390 --> 01:21:05,618
Good. You, sir?
1317
01:21:05,858 --> 01:21:08,383
- I'm sure trains will be available.
- Anything else?
1318
01:21:08,761 --> 01:21:10,695
You have been very patient.
1319
01:21:10,763 --> 01:21:13,823
Don't count on it.
Have a good ride to Cracow.
1320
01:21:14,567 --> 01:21:15,727
Thank you.
1321
01:21:16,836 --> 01:21:19,134
Well done, Colonel. Fine meeting.
1322
01:21:20,706 --> 01:21:21,695
Thank you.
1323
01:21:22,842 --> 01:21:24,309
Thank you as well.
1324
01:21:24,377 --> 01:21:28,404
I admire your gift for organization.
The meeting was very economical.
1325
01:21:30,583 --> 01:21:32,073
Now.
1326
01:21:36,355 --> 01:21:39,722
Do either of you think
we would have that final solution?
1327
01:21:39,926 --> 01:21:42,827
That in a year, there wouldn't be
a Jew left on the continent?
1328
01:21:42,895 --> 01:21:44,658
That we control? Why not?
1329
01:21:45,865 --> 01:21:48,595
- You drink, Eichmann?
- Yes, sir.
1330
01:21:48,668 --> 01:21:49,930
Were you ever drunk?
1331
01:21:50,736 --> 01:21:52,499
From time to time.
1332
01:21:53,406 --> 01:21:54,703
Well, then...
1333
01:21:55,775 --> 01:21:57,367
...take a fucking drink.
1334
01:21:58,578 --> 01:22:01,274
- I am on duty, sir.
- Then it's an order.
1335
01:22:01,881 --> 01:22:02,973
Thank you.
1336
01:22:03,049 --> 01:22:06,348
And tell us again about the pink bodies.
1337
01:22:09,455 --> 01:22:11,013
Sir, I'd rather not.
1338
01:22:11,090 --> 01:22:14,184
- The sounds, the screams.
- He will faint again.
1339
01:22:16,596 --> 01:22:18,154
I did not faint.
1340
01:22:22,068 --> 01:22:24,161
I had a physical symptom.
1341
01:22:25,838 --> 01:22:27,999
What was the story
you were going to tell me?
1342
01:22:28,107 --> 01:22:30,337
- Story?
- Kritzinger.
1343
01:22:30,576 --> 01:22:35,206
Yes, he told me a story about a man
he'd known all his life, a boyhood friend.
1344
01:22:35,381 --> 01:22:38,145
This man hated his father.
Loved his mother fiercely.
1345
01:22:38,217 --> 01:22:39,946
The mother was devoted to him...
1346
01:22:40,019 --> 01:22:43,011
...but the father beat him, demeaned him,
disinherited him.
1347
01:22:43,089 --> 01:22:47,355
Anyway, this boy grew to manhood and
was still in his 30s when the mother died...
1348
01:22:47,426 --> 01:22:51,260
...this mother who had nurtured
and protected him.
1349
01:22:51,697 --> 01:22:52,994
She died.
1350
01:22:53,065 --> 01:22:57,695
The man stood as they lowered
her casket and tried to cry...
1351
01:22:57,770 --> 01:23:00,034
...but no tears came.
1352
01:23:01,207 --> 01:23:05,644
The man's father lived to old age,
died when the son was in his 50s.
1353
01:23:05,745 --> 01:23:09,181
At the father's funeral,
much to his son's surprise...
1354
01:23:09,482 --> 01:23:12,417
...he could not control his tears.
1355
01:23:13,486 --> 01:23:17,354
He was wailing, sobbing.
He was apparently inconsolable.
1356
01:23:18,424 --> 01:23:19,823
Lost, even.
1357
01:23:21,394 --> 01:23:24,363
That was the story Kritzinger told me.
1358
01:23:26,699 --> 01:23:28,360
I don't understand.
1359
01:23:29,035 --> 01:23:30,195
No?
1360
01:23:31,404 --> 01:23:35,272
The man had been driven his whole life
by hatred of his father.
1361
01:23:35,341 --> 01:23:37,400
When the mother died, that was a loss.
1362
01:23:37,476 --> 01:23:38,807
When the father died...
1363
01:23:38,878 --> 01:23:41,472
...when the hate had lost its object...
1364
01:23:41,547 --> 01:23:43,947
...then the man's life was empty.
1365
01:23:45,051 --> 01:23:46,245
Over.
1366
01:23:49,155 --> 01:23:50,554
Interesting.
1367
01:23:51,123 --> 01:23:53,421
That was Kritzinger's warning.
1368
01:23:55,828 --> 01:23:58,763
What? That we should not hate
the Israelites?
1369
01:23:58,831 --> 01:24:01,527
No, that it should not so fill our lives...
1370
01:24:02,201 --> 01:24:05,898
...that when they are gone,
we have nothing left to live for.
1371
01:24:06,806 --> 01:24:08,501
So says the story.
1372
01:24:11,911 --> 01:24:14,141
I will not miss them.
1373
01:24:17,383 --> 01:24:18,372
Time.
1374
01:24:20,319 --> 01:24:22,844
You have to take me up
in that plane of yours sometime.
1375
01:24:22,922 --> 01:24:26,187
Yes, we should do that.
Not right after you've eaten.
1376
01:24:26,459 --> 01:24:29,155
- Friday.
- Everything will be prepared.
1377
01:24:32,565 --> 01:24:34,965
One working copy, edited by me,
for your approval.
1378
01:24:35,034 --> 01:24:38,333
30 copies, numbered.
No other records, I guarantee.
1379
01:24:49,648 --> 01:24:50,637
Good.
1380
01:25:13,713 --> 01:25:16,807
- You certainly know how to throw a party.
- Thank you.
1381
01:25:16,883 --> 01:25:18,145
Shalom.
1382
01:25:55,555 --> 01:25:57,648
Does it tear your heart out?
1383
01:26:01,394 --> 01:26:02,918
Beautiful, sir.
1384
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:11,830
I've never understood the passion
for Schubert's sentimental Viennese shit.
1385
01:27:16,069 --> 01:27:20,529
Col. Eichmann carefully editedthe stenographic record of the conference.
1386
01:27:20,773 --> 01:27:23,765
Copies were distributedto the participants to be read...
1387
01:27:23,843 --> 01:27:25,572
... and then destroyed.
1388
01:27:25,645 --> 01:27:29,513
Gen. Heydrich flew backto his headquarters in Czechoslovakia...
1389
01:27:29,582 --> 01:27:32,710
... where, in a few terrible weeks,he had earned the nickname:
1390
01:27:32,852 --> 01:27:34,843
The Butcher of Prague.
1391
01:27:34,988 --> 01:27:37,388
In the spring, two Czech patriots...
1392
01:27:37,457 --> 01:27:40,620
... trained to assassinate himand dropped from a British bomber...
1393
01:27:40,693 --> 01:27:42,923
... succeeded in wounding him.
1394
01:27:43,363 --> 01:27:46,890
In reprisal, thousands of Czechswere rounded up and shot.
1395
01:27:47,667 --> 01:27:51,159
Heydrich's wounds grew infected,he fell into a coma and died.
1396
01:27:52,438 --> 01:27:55,236
Eichmann, as Heydrich's deputyfor Jewish affairs...
1397
01:27:55,308 --> 01:27:58,471
... was left to finishwhat they had begun at Wannsee.
1398
01:27:59,412 --> 01:28:01,846
He considered it a matter of honor.
