THEY'RE WATCHING ME.

[Salamo] I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I WAS THERE.

I STAYED ALIVE BY THINKING OF THE ONES I LOVED.

ALLEGRA...

YOU'RE IMPOSSIBLE.

YOU'RE DELICIOUS.

YOU TASTE LIKE APRICOTS.

POPPA...

MY BROTHER, AVRAM, AND MY BEST FRIEND, JACKO.

[Smacking]

SALAMO, SALAMO...

JACKO AND I BOXED TOGETHER

EVER SINCE WE WERE KIDS ON THE DOCKS.

YOU GOT IT.

[Panting]

YOU DROP YOUR GUARD.

HE THINKS YOU'RE TIRED,

SO THAT BRINGS HIM IN.

YOU SLIP WHAT'S COMING, AND THEN OVER THE TOP WITH A STRAIGHT RIGHT.

THAT'S THE PUNCH.

WHAT I CARED ABOUT MOST WAS FIGHTING AND WINNING.

[Crowd cheering]

COME ON!

UGH. UGH.

UGH. UGH.

CHAMPION!

[Grunting]

UGH. AHHH!

OHH!

[Bell ringing]

[Crowd roaring]

SALAMO!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...

THE WINNER...

AND THE NEW MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION

OF THE BALKANS, SALONIKA'S OWN

SALAMO AROUCH!

[Crowd roaring]

THEN THE NAZIS OCCUPIED GREECE.

WE COULDN'T EAT IN CAFES LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

WE COULDN'T RIDE IN CARS AND BUSES.

WE COULDN'T EVEN WALK ON THE STREETS

OF OUR OWN CITY.

OUR HOMES AND JOBS WERE TAKEN AWAY,

AND WE WERE FORCED TO LIVE IN GHETTOS.

ANYONE FOUND OUTSIDE THE WALLS WAS SHOT.

IT'S TOMORROW MORNING!

WE'RE LEAVING-- 6:00 SHARP.

THE TRAIN STATION, 6:00 IN THE MORNING!

ONE SUITCASE APIECE IS ALL YOU'RE ALLOWED!

TOMORROW MORNING AT 6:00, THE TRAIN STATION!

[Woman] WHAT IS IT?

TRAIN STATION, 6:00 IN THE MORNING!

EVERY DAY WE WERE TAKEN BY THE S.S.

TO DO FORCED LABOR.

WE'RE BEING SHIPPED OUT. EVERYONE GOES.

WHEN?

TOMORROW, 6:00 IN THE MORNING.

YOU SEE, THE RUMORS WERE RIGHT.

WHERE ARE THEY SENDING US?

WHO KNOWS.

WON'T BE THE RIVIERA, YOU CAN BET ON THAT.

BABY, COME TO GRANDPA.

[Chuckling]

[Distant siren wailing]

DON'T CRY.

AS LONG AS WE'RE TOGETHER,

IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.

COME ON, WE HAVE TO PACK.

POPPA, I WANT TO MARRY SARAH TONIGHT BEFORE WE GO.

THERE'S NO TIME.

WE LOVE EACH OTHER, POPPA. NO!

MAYBE THAT WAY THEY'LL LET US STAY TOGETHER.

COME, SALAMO. WE HAVE TO PACK.

POPPA, FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME?

WHY SHOULDN'T THEY GET MARRIED?

SALAMO, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I'LL BE BACK.

WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!

[Siren approaching]

[Siren fading]

[Man speaking German]

[Translator] I BELIEVE IN A HIGH AND ETERNAL JUSTICE

THAT IS HELPING US.

[Man speaking German]

[Translator] EVEN WHEN I WAS STILL AN UNKNOWN LITTLE SOLDIER

I BELIEVED IT COULDN'T BE POSSIBLE

THAT MY PEOPLE WERE BOUND TO GO DOWN.

[Hitler speaking German]

[Crowd cheering]

[Translator] AND BECAUSE I BELIEVED IN THE HELP

OF A HIGHER CREATURE,

THAT'S WHY I STARTED MY STRUGGLE

AS A SMALL AND QUITE UNKNOWN QUANTITY

IN THIS BIG GERMAN REICH.

[Hitler speaking]

[Salamo] ALLEGRA AND HER FAMILY WERE HIDING

IN ANOTHER PART OF THE CITY.

THE SAFEST PLACE FOR US TO MEET

WAS IN THE DARKNESS OF A MOVIE THEATER.

[Translator] IT IS IMPOSSIBLE MY PEOPLE WILL GO DOWN.

[Hitler speaking]

[Translator] AND ARE NOW MORE ENTITLED THAN BEFORE

TO LIVE IN PEACE.

I MISSED YOU SO MUCH.

A THOUSAND TIMES

I WISHED MY FAMILY HAD STAYED IN THE GHETTO INSTEAD OF HIDING.

YOU STILL TASTE LIKE APRICOTS.

I CAN'T BEAR NOT KNOWING WHERE YOU'LL BE.

PSST!

[Hitler speaking]

JACKO LEFT. HE HAS JOINED THE PARTISANS.

HE DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR RELOCATION,

AND THE S.S. SHOT HIS FAMILY.

[Translator] HITLER HAS NOW FINISHED HIS SPEECH.

AND ALL TOGETHER THE COMPANY IS SINGING.

I BETTER GO.
