THIS FILM IS A FREE INTERPRETATION OF TRUE EVENTS

BASED ON THE RUSSIAN TRIAL IN 1946 AND MOABIT IN 1957

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

STELLA. ONE LIFE.

AUGUST 1940

That was good. -Perfect.

What do you think?

Play more like Gene Krupa. And at the chorus on the cymbal.

Yes, so... -Fred,

You missed your commitment.

Because there was kissing over there.

Don't look, honey. It's just Inge.

Come on, everybody. One, two, three, four...

Men and women sometimes do such things. I've heard.

I don't want it. I'm leaving soon anyway.

The Amis won't let anyone in anymore. Not us...

You may not...

I'm going swimming.

Come, frightened.

He no longer writes, has gone into hiding. -Your misjpooche either.

There are 50,000 Jews every day at the embassy for visas.

So naive. -I know, I'm naive.

Will you stop doing that?

Can I have the salt, period. -Mom, I have a question.

Why don't you go see Baranofsky? Just like the Cohns and Gutmanns.

I'm not giving that lawyer my last money.

Your father doesn't want to leave at all. -Actually.

I am German, I fought for the country fought for and will not be driven away.

You are a Jew, Gerd. Just look in your passport.

Mommy, can I wear wear your glitter dress?

I don't have anything else. -I said no.

Then I'll go naked.

You are so short-sighted, unbelievable.

The Nazis have occupied half of Europe, they are already in Paris.

Also by me. -Please.

Then we stay here and die.

I called two days ago. Please look again.

Impossible. We must be on the list.

Goldschlag, Gerhard ...

You must have the visa.

My cousin spoke to a senator in Washington.

He... What is insurance? - "Assure".

What? - "Assure".

He assured me to send it directly to the embassy.

Eight weeks ago.

I'm sorry, I know.

We are desperate. We have to leave the country.

Please...

Just let him play on. -No,

this is the third time. He's drunk. -I would be in his place, too.

Measure 12 on the 2 a semitone higher please.

When you play, think of Gene Krupa, not your grandmother.

Is that going to work? It's pointless that way.

His father is arrested. -He will be released soon.

Stella, how stupid you are. -He could get the death penalty.

For stealing butter? -Because we are Jews.

Yes, then you can't do anything.

Then we'll stop and cancel Saturday. -Still.

Stella, dear... -I've had enough of the whining.

Okay, one more time "Let us misbehave." Come on...

Come on, Theo. We're not sugar, are we?

Look at me. Your father is coming back, Theo.

FORBIDDEN TO JEWS

You are very beautiful, my child.

We want more...

Really great. -What fantastic.

That wasn't bad. -That was great.

You were absolutely incredibly fantastic.

Eight marks an hour for posing is above average.

Plus a bottle of Chateauneuf Düdelüd.

Yes, yes, in your dreams.

Is that a "yes?"

You were enchanting.

Show...

Was he?

He loved it.

If we make it across, we need to make contact.

Give me the ticket.

Wow, Broadway.

Next year at the Cotton Club.

Music. -We'll take you too.

I'm going to put in your my suitcase.

FEBRUARY 1943

JOOD

Sabotage. Away... -No.

I will come later tomorrow morning.

Today they picked up another one.

Fred, I'm afraid.

Let me sleep.

Good night...

Getting started...

Princess? I need the hammer.

Next.

The next stop is Tauentzien.

You stay here.

Cab?

Do we know each other from somewhere?

It could.

I am a playwright.

Aha...

Yes, I know you.

Can I not see my friends not see my friends anymore?

At night without a star go straight into camp.

They don't check. -Incredible.

I don't look like a Jew. -Don't do that again, will you?

Why do you get off at Tauentzien to visit Hansi?

I wanted to buy for her birthday.

How stupid do you think we are? -But so it was.

She was out and about again.

Mom? -Look...

What's that? -The world is going down and Mrs. party.

At the Dance Palace.

You're jealous. -Did you lie again?

I feel sorry for your husband. -He feels sorry for himself.

Shikse...

You don't know me at all.

Help...

Can anyone help me?

Fortunately, I am here today. Heise had sent you away.

Thanks again from my mother for the soap.

Don't bother. Your end is near.

Brunner must make Berlin Jew-free. -I'm not waiting for that.

How do you want to abscond?

You need food stamps. -Think about it, little Johnny.

Passports, passes. Rolf can do everything.

Johnny is in love. -Lick my ass.

Ask the foreman what he meant. Could be a misunderstanding.

We have to resist. -They beat Baum to death.

Yes, we let them walk all over us. -They need us for weapons.

Yep. -Forced laborers from Poland are replacing us.

It's a targeted action against us. -Says who?

Rolf. -Ah, Rolf.

In Auschwitz, they were killing Jews just like that.

Those are ghost stories. -So says someone from the Wehrmacht.

Exactly. He got it from his aunt and she from her cat.

We have survived for thousands of years. So have the Nazis.

We are smarter and more beautiful.

And we can swing.

Take Fred again, it'll help take his mind off things.

That I didn't think of that.

You see, be glad you have me.

Walk on...

Walk on...

Since Stalingrad, the atmosphere has been exuberant.

In the summer, the war is over. Then we go to Capri.

On the harbor is a luxury hotel with delicious lemon ice cream.

You stink. -What?

You stink of cigarettes.

So better?

Why did you marry me?

I've never felt felt so alone as with you.

Is that also my fault?

I don't want any more.

I don't want any more.

I don't want any more.

Fred, I love you anyway.

Everything will be fine.

The war is almost over.

Everything will be all right, my love.

All of them? Roger.

HELPING WOMEN WIN

Jews, out.

Wait here, I'll get Fred.

They have Fred.

Come...

Walking through, not standing still.

Halt, stop, stay put.

Yes, your pass...

Walkthrough.

Walkthrough.

Your pass...

Halt.

Your pass.

Aren't we forgetting something?

Mama, your glove.

Thanks.

Give me your pass.

What are you doing? -We are going into hiding.

Please, please, calm down.

Mama, I'm so afraid of Fred.

They killed everyone at Auschwitz.

I'm sorry, you have to be quieter.

Fenske searched like a hound dog. -Thank you, Clara.

Come here...

Mama, we need food stamps. Please...

No, that's...

Don't go outside. -Don't go out.

They are taking us to concentration camps. -Side...

It is forbidden. I tell Frau Schöne.

Do But. We'll see who believes them.

How cheeky.

Stay put.

Zeidler von Jagow, SS. Your papers...

We got bombed, they got burned. -Name?

Ida Proeck. -Where bombed?

Three days ago in Dortmund. -What are you doing in Berlin?

I am with family. -Name and address?

You come with me to the office.

No, please, my father is sick.

Can we arrange this differently? -What are you thinking about?

I understand. Always the same with you guys.

I'm Rolf Isaakson, by the way, Four Fourth Jews.

Johnny said you needed food stamps and a pass.

Or aren't you Stella?

Easy now, we just met.

You do have a big mouth.

Paul, you here too?

That's my... -...fiancé.

I can also arrange a pass for you. Then you can go outside.

Normally it costs 2,000 marks. For me, it was a friend's price.

Oh God, how delicious. -That tastes good to you, little hamster.

Oh, Daddy.

Don't.

Stella, please, we're friends after all.

We are not a family.

Stay put.

Stop.

Damn. -That way.

Gestapo, are you Frau Schöne? -Herr Fenske, do you have to do this?

You would hide illegals here. -What are you doing there?

Everything is in order, Herr Conradi. Go back inside.

Move aside.

How many people live here? -One, my husband is dead.

Why is the door locked?

Good evening.

Your room is on Gransow, Gerd and Toni.

Pension Rinkel on Rankeplatz. Funny, isn't it?

Thank you, very generous.

I don't know what to do in return.

I'm going with Rolf, I told you so.

I don't like that. Please come with us.

Proeck from Berlin and Gransow from Cologne in the same room? Work for the Gestapo.

It's all right.

I arrange food stamps. -No contact.

This is far too dangerous for all of us. Good night.

Be careful.

Yes, yes, we will be careful.

This doesn't.

Aaron and I have known each other since we were young childhood. I can't do it next to a friend.

Yes, a friend.

I'm not running a 2,000 mark. I can't afford that.

I am also a friend. -You are not a friend.

Carpet Trade Salomon Sounds like stinking rich Jews.

They have their reservations.

Come on, you can do it. I know you.

Lucky. -On the women.

Excuse me.

I just heard a recording of Charlie Parker.

Goosebumps. -Gave.

Do you have the money on you?

Unfortunately, it has become more expensive. It's 2,000 more.

We don't have that. Everything is borrowed. -I don't set the price.

Mama still has the gold brooch from grandma's. There is a whole story attached to that.

We had a deal. -Otherwhere, passes cost three times as much.

I recently sang in a dream.

We were rehearsing and you always had something to say.

And then I woke up and had to cry.

I miss you very much. Even Inge.

I have to think of Fred now.

Sorry, wrong time.

I call mom about the brooch.

Honey, are you finally coming?

Women...

I couldn't do anything.

Yes, yes, yes, sucker.

Do it nicely. We want to sell them again.

Now I've done it again.

You did that well. Why the pout?

Such are the times. Join in or go down.

He eats cabbage rolls every Wednesday. -Hans Albers?

Then when you have a kissing scene with him, you drop dead.

It is a tough profession.

Do you have something for me?

It can't actually be done anymore. -Why? I do want more of it.

What? -In this recording, already five...

women with mixed marriages along.

These are blank passes. This is very illegal.

That's what I find so exciting about you.

You are me one.

First you disappear off the face of the earth and then....

Can I have them now?

Please don't.

"Mommy." -Hold on.

"Mama." Well, well, well.

Your parents live here, mine in Auschwitz.

Guess who cries at night? "Mommy, I miss you so much."

What have I done wrong to you? -Nothing, that's why.

Go to your master. We need poet.

This place is expensive. -I am not your whore.

You just have to fuck him. You can do that so well anyway.

Honey... -Go away.

Stay put. Come with me.

I need a place to sleep. Do you have a room or not?

A room? Me? -He said.

Mikki, do I have it?

That tent in the Taunusstraße. -That one again...

Go to room mediation and say you've been bombed.

How do I file a tax return?

Yes, who does that in the police?

...against your greatest danger are heartbreaking.

International Judaism encourages this with all its might.

Just as the resistance to communism...

in our struggle for power in our own country....

was lulled to sleep by the Jewish newspapers and only

was rekindled by National Socialism.

This will be on our table on our table.

Judaism shows itself once again the incarnation of evil.

The guard is around the corner.

...as an image of the devil of...

Storms back in a moment later, me half naked.

Whether for his records could have my pass again.

That's how they are. But don't worry.

I have a real officer's voice game. That makes an impression.

Isn't it risky to show your workplace?

Maybe not so smart. Let's not.

You'll get your tax return anyway: 2 p.m. at the KaDeWe.

Thank you Cioma, you are a treasure.

I know you weren't at the station. Are you a Jew?

Breakfast is at 7 a.m.

What's the matter? -Nothing, go to sleep.

500 is too much. -As much as Rolf.

You are not Rolf. Maximum 200. -These are real.

400 or not. -Then don't.

The pool closes in 15 minutes.

15 Minutes to Closing Time.

We definitely need to go again.

I have been bombed. I need a place to sleep.

Pussy...

Fuck off, leave me alone.

I heard you are important now.

Pussy...

You have no decency.

You lonely bastard should thank me thank me for knowing you.

Right. Thanks.

You're a predator. I like that.

Where are you going?

I thought to a hotel.

I'll be right back. Don't leave.

Excuse me?

Excuse me, sir. Do you have a light?

I have the passes.

Quick...

Hey, there's no running here.

Germany, Germany above all else.

Above everything else in the world...

For the German homeland.

This one is open. So is this one.

Man up. Our comrades are dying at the front.

He looks again. It's not kosher.

What are you staring at? Meatball.

I'm going after it. -After that meatball?

Worthless,

In "Große Liebe," she looks like a poodle. -Her voice is great.

You are much better. Can we have salt and pepper?

Where does that leave Johnny?

Do you long for him? -Maybe.

Jeez, Rolf, Berlin looks like a village.

Hello, Inge. Don't you remember me? -Yes, hello.

Where is Johnny?

Just pretend I wasn't there.

"Jeez, Rolf, Berlin looks like a village."

Please say That you had nothing to do with Inge.

"I had nothing to do with Inge."

You are a very special woman.

I know.

Shall we get married? -right now?

Gestapo, coming along. -Does that lady belong to you?

I don't know her. -Yes, yes, come on.

Going forward...

She has no bra on.

July 2, 1943, 4:12 in the afternoon.

Continued questioning of Kübler, born Goldschlag, Stella Sara.

Is that him?

You say he lives in Taunusstraße 39?

But he doesn't live there, ever.

Sit up straight.

Jewish cunt.

Tell about the meeting at the KaDeWe.

It was in the KaDeWe by the perfume. -And that was on?

June 23. -Earlier you said 20.

Definitely the 23rd. Inside, because it was raining.

The 23rd was a Sunday.

Sorry, it was the 22nd. -The second lie. The 22nd, the 23rd...

Why aren't you wearing a bra?

Where does he live? -Don't know. We barely know each other.

Your Jewish friend claimed the opposite.

You have been thick since drawing school.

I posed for him once. -Harder.

I posed for him once. -Posed?

Regulation 13 has been in effect since yesterday. We can convict Jews without trial.

I ask one more time: where does he live? -I don't know.

That was for fun, now it's getting serious. Where does he live?

I don't know.

Who else knows where he lives?

Mikki. -Mikki, who?

Mikki Hellman. -Address?

Don't give up now. -I don't know.

It says here.

Kantstraße 12. -That's a mailing address.

I'm tired of this game. She lies her ass off, that cunt.

Where is Cioma Schönhaus?

Where does Schönhaus live?

George, wait, let her.

Get up. Come on...

Now you are going to write a card.

Come on.

Sit down.

It will be fine.

Here, write down:

Dear Mikki, I need to see you urgently, I'm in an awkward position.

Excuse me...

Is it going or would you rather take a break?

A short break then.

Here...

That boy, over there. -Is that him?

Yes, that's him.

Let go of me...

Because of her for sure.

Dr. Schreyer, Obersturmbannführer Mohnke is there.

Close bites.

I'll be right back.

Obersturmbannführer Mohnke, how good to see you again.

I'm sorry, but it's not mutual.

Excuse me, what are you doing? Stay put.

They should be here. My mother... -What is their last name?

I was bombed.

Keep off. -There they are.

Those are my parents.

Out. -Stella?

Oh, my child, my child.

Doodle...

Come, come.

You have to say what happened. Otherwise, I can't help you.

We need a doctor.

Sit down first. -But how...

Stella, please, talk to me.

Please...

He kicked me all the time.

Who. -The police officer.

Have you been arrested?

They asked questions all the time.

What did you do?

Nothing. I didn't do anything.

You can't.

I didn't do anything.

It's okay. -I didn't do anything.

I didn't do anything.

All the best, sweetie.

Everything will be fine.

Come on, quickly.

Come on.

All out...

Come on, faster... Moving up...

In here.

Today to Theresienstadt? -No, Auschwitz.

It stinks. -Someone farted.

Eichental, Joseph Israel.

Eichental, Veronika Sara.

Hochstein, Albert Israel.

Drachenfeld, Karl Israel.

Adler, Wilhelm Israel.

Adler, Margaret Sara.

Adler, Levin Sara.

Ernst, Otto Israel.

Goldner, Max Israel.

Goldner, Mathilde Sara.

Meier, Johanna Sara.

Kübler, Stella Sara.

You can't. -It's not my turn yet.

My husband is a soldier. We have a right to Theresienstadt.

This is a misunderstanding.

You are not allowed to separate families. That's not allowed anyway.

Would you please send this letter to my niece to my niece? It is very important.

LIST TO DEPORT JEWS FROM BERLIN

Line 11, in other words.

Here, past the train station, via Alt-Moabit, directly to Rathenower.

These are the barracks on Turmstraße. Does it ring a bell?

Or shall we just quit?

Where did you get off?

There was a bus. The driver was sitting on a bench smoking.

At the Waldstraße?

Show how you came from there to them.

After a few meters we turned off.... -The road to the studio, Frau Kübler.

Please, I don't want to go to Auschwitz. I'm still so young.

The issue now is clarification. You are not on the list yet.

Ah, Schützendorf? What a coincidence.

Her mother took singing lessons at Schützendorf. So did I.

Ah, yes.

We turned right, past a cafe.

Very good, keep going.

There was a park. -There is no park there.

Or a green strip. In an alley.

And there was the studio?

Would you recognize it?

I am sending two Jewish inspectors with me.

It must be around the corner. Will you get paid?

Yes, 160 marks. And transportation.

Don't you live in the ghetto? -No.

He lives on the Torstraße and I on the Rosenthaler Platz.

We were here an hour ago as well.

But it's here. In that cafe he got sugar.

Sugar? Make fun of your mother. -Günther, be nice.

Where then?

It is the next right.

Final attempt.

I remember: with Ledermeyer's daughter.

You see, I know you.

Shit...

Admit it, you have no idea.

I will not betray you. We'll say he's gone, but that you know the cafes.

What do we do now? -We bring her back.

The lady doesn't know, she just said.

Well, that wasn't so smart. Now you're getting on the list.

They are taking us to Auschwitz.

I don't want to go to Auschwitz. -Hold on.

I don't want to go to Au...

Tomorrow discuss it with Lachmut.

He was kind to you.

Come in if you are not a Jew.

20? -Yes.

Two? -Yes.

I was with Kübler. We looked for Schönhaus.

That didn't accomplish anything. You, zero? -Yes.

Four? -Gone.

But she knows the stores where he hangs out.

So, what do you think?

Fair is fair, she can sing.

She's good.

What are you singing about?

Jazz, as well as what you want.

Negro music?

Is that allowed?

Come on, let's hear something.

I'm listening...

That's what you're good at.

Thanks.

I can't use her. Schönhaus is gone.

We don't know.

Yep, I'm sure.

We continue.

Coming.

Come, hup.

I could do the same do as Abrahamsohn did.

So what does it do?

Besides dropping me off with Skat? -I know a lot of people.

Join us. -What is it? Leave me alone.

Gestapo, coming along.

Rock on.

They still live there. A woman brought groceries.

Mandelbaum, an elderly couple.

Kantstraße 38, third floor. I am waiting there.

Lilo, what a coincidence.

Are you not feeling well? You look very pale.

How big you have grown.

This is the Stella. You don't have to be afraid of that.

In Theresienstadt you can work and bathe in the evening.

I'm not betraying anybody. -No? Then it stops.

Would you rather go to Auschwitz? How stubborn can you be?

Hello...

How are you doing? What do you think for yourself?

I slowly infiltrate. -It's great work, isn't it?

Good pay, nice outside.

I heard you were at the movies. -Yes, I was looking for someone.

Yes, yes, nice movie watching. -No...

Don't lie. Can I trust you?

You're having fun at my expense.

I don't. -Don't make fun of me.

If Rolf were here, everything would... -Who is this Rolf?

Her boyfriend Rolf Isaakson was arrested with her arrested. He works in Wuhlheide.

Rolf fakes passes. He's good. -Is he a good guy? Then he's good.

You know what? I'm sick of it. Put them on transportation.

Auschwitz, on the 28th. Dad and mom too.

I promise to do better. -Then do that.

Three new ones tomorrow, otherwise I'll put you on the train.

You are that fiancé.

Who did you call? Rolf?

We broke up.

Oh god, heartbreak.

Eat anyway. I thought you were hungry.

Forgive me...

Getting up, coming along.

Getting up, I said.

Quickly down the stairs. Down...

Everyone here says it was you. -You have to participate.

You should not betray your own people.

Who am I doing this for?

Oh, now it's our fault.

So why are we here?

Doodle...

We should not allow this. -She is always on the Ku'damm.

That's why she has her own room. -Traitor...

You had better not have mentioned Rolf.

The interrogation got out of hand.

The boss felt provoked.

Left, the last one.

Get me out of here. I have money. Take my watch.

Please help me.

I'll get you out of here.

We have to give them names and addresses.

You know the hiding places. The man with the beret?

Or the couple from the allotment garden In Wedding?

I need to give Dobberke something concrete.

So you want names. You got gotspe.

I want you to be allowed out of here. -What? -I'm going to Auschwitz.

Because you couldn't keep your mouth shut.

Man yourself.

Dobberke listens to me.

You won't get out of here without me. -Rot, you disgust me.

Rolf, I need you...

Then go to Auschwitz.

In a workshop for the blind in Mitte employs twenty Jews.

I know boats with ten or more people in hiding.

I know half of Charlottenburg.

I can fill a whole train. Tell him that.

Good Day.

Do it.

Passes, please.

No, stop, stop.

What are we working on?

You disgust me, pig.

It's your fault.

Exactly what you want.

Let go of me...

So, are you alive too?

Go away, quickly. The place is crawling with Gestapo.

Where do we meet? -Side Cinema,

day after tomorrow, noon performance.

I want to work with Bruno Goldstein.

What? -She lets people go.

Shut up. -Why?

He lies. -Silence.

Are you crazy. Burgstrasse wants to close this down.

You are still alive Because I am protecting you.

What about about that friend on the Ku'damm?

Who is lining his pockets here? He has a suitcase of money.

Break it up now. Apart, I say.

Isaakson now goes to his room.

The wedding is Monday at Wedding City Hall.

No more whining. -Yes, Sturmscharführer.

I have arranged something for your parents.

They both go to Theresienstadt. There they are out of harm's way.

Thank you, you take good care of me.

Will you also take good care of me?

Are you allowing Jews to flee?

And you know that too, Walter.

You are too good for this business.

Such a stylish woman.

I have a friend in the Waffen-SS at Auschwitz.

He says.

the Jews upon arrival be distributed immediately.

Some go to work.

The others are taking showers.

They put in 500 all the time.

Children and women first.

Then the door closes...

and gas comes out of the showers.

After 15 minutes, everyone is dead.

That goes on all day long,

from morning to night.

Day by day.

Walk on, hup, hup.

Don't worry, I'll be fine.

They have a concert hall in Theresienstadt and even a choir.

I'll send you food. Maybe I can get hunting sausage.

Keep us in your heart, my sweet, sensitive child.

You are the only thing we have.

Mama...

It is better there than here.

You are safe there. That's what Dobberke says, too.

Don't promise us too much.

Reverse.

Be careful.

First Ilya was arrested, then Hansi.

Three weeks later Fritz-Günther. Everyone was arrested.

Inge Lustig betrayed me. -Inge? Our Inge?

At café Bollenmüller.

They took me to the Burgstraße and nearly beat me to death.

Gossip is going around.

A blonde woman betrays Jews on the Ku'damm.

Maybe Inge.

That would be true.

Why would she do that?

She could kill herself anyway.

I am very glad you are alive.

I know people who smuggle Jews smuggling into Switzerland.

With bicycles. The train is too dangerous because of controls.

In three weeks we will be there, we'll be free.

Stella, we're going to America.

Life is about to begin.

What is it?

Nothing. That sounds great.

Everybody, get out of there.

Here comes the regimental mother.

60 Jews in one fell swoop, all deported.

Why are you looking at me like that?

What a miserable creature you are.

For this you will pay, witch. -After the war we will come and get you.

Shame on you.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

What a shame, Stella Kübler.

Your pass, please.

Stop him, he's a Jew.

Lilo, I'm coming to pick you up. Grab your coat and come with me.

He can't. He has scarlet fever. -Work with me.

Come here...

For the entrance...

It was as if they were going on a picnic.

It was always just a short walk to the nearest camp.

But behind the barbed wire no picnic awaited them.

Only death prevailed here.

Wedding rings.

Piles of glasses and gold teeth.

Ripped from their mouths.

With these instruments the teeth were pulled out.

Everyone was murdered by order of the Nazi leadership.

Please sit down and look at that.

The Germans, who said they didn't know, were also responsible.

They simply put their fate into the hands of criminals and idiots.

Kübler, where is your husband?

They couldn't hear it.

Then how do you know that my client called the Gestapo?

Well, that was her trick.

She allowed herself to be feted and then she betrayed people. Not just me.

So you don't know.

Is it true that at that time you had 10,000 marks and a gold cigarette case?

Yes. -Then you were a good match.

During the conversation, did you touched my client's hand?

I just wanted... -Is my client...

perhaps for your advances fled to the toilet?

Did she say that? Shame...

She deserves a slap in the face.

Ladies and gentlemen, silence please.

It has been proven that my client did not have a weapon.

"Cooperate or I'll shoot," she said.

Frau Kübler describes:

it differently: she came to warn you, so that you could flee.

Did you think that your mixed marriage would protect you from deportation?

I would never have have left my son behind.

But he was taken that day at your request brought to the gathering camp.

He died in Theresienstadt Because she betrayed me.

My son had to go through her to the concentration camp.

This was my mother.

Please sit down. Silence, please.

The death of your son is a tragedy, but...

Are you not co-responsible?

You can't be serious. -I don't sleep a wink.

The hatred I get over me. -You witness.

What are you afraid of? Just tell the truth tomorrow.

Now let's get something to eat first.

Do you like fish, Mr. Aaron Salomon?

You're allergic to fish. -I never had any.

Then that was Johnny.

Remember when we went home with Fred going home...

and you, with your head still on rehearsal, ran into a lantern?

I can't say that everything was because of Inge.

You said so yourself. -I only suspected that.

I don't know what you're referring to.

You've done terrible things.

You can't deny that.

My parents were murdered in Auschwitz, did you know that?

I spent ten years in Russia. And got TB.

I didn't know that. -In January, I applied for help.

Do you know what happened?

The German state refused.

Instead, I am now being on trial. The media is falling all over me.

"The Blonde Ghost." "Monster," what they don't write.

Even my own daughter Doesn't want to see me anymore.

And now I have to go back to jail.

I never had a life.

Were you in love with me?

I don't get it. We were so close. I thought I knew you.

It was not your choice.

The Nazis tortured and forced you. -Rolf betrayed them.

Don't blame others. -He disappeared with a lot of money.

Zeitmans, Siedler, Kalkstein know what you have done. You don't make something like that up.

You have to repent anyway.

You can't live with this guilt. -Do you remember Al Mannheimer?

What about him? -He said I had a thing with Dr. Bandman.

Here's how it works.

What does that have to do with the process? -They are jealous.

They hate me. Because I'm blond and beautiful And stand out.

Who are "they?" -The Jews, they denounced me.

The witnesses are playing under one hat. -Are the Jews the culprits?

This is mass psychosis. -We are the Jews.

You betrayed our friends. -Don't shout like that.

You stole Lilo's address And betrayed them.

Cease now. -No.

You have driven hundreds to death. -Shut up.

I don't know what I did to you, for you to attack me like this.

You are either on my side or you are leaving. Think about it carefully.

You should be ashamed. Shame on you.

Shalom, Stella.

Shalom.

Have you been able to make a choice? -Yes.

In the name of the people the following judgment:

In six cases the accused acquitted.

She is sentenced to ten years as an accessory to murder

and deprivation of liberty resulting in death.

That is justice.

The sentence is imposed because of the Soviet court imposed imprisonment....

and by the accused served sentence...

and pretrial detention in this case, considered to have been served.

Unbelievable. -What a scandal...

You lose your rights as a citizen. The defendant bears...

You are free to. -...the cost of the process.

You may go home. Congratulations.

Please sit down for the reasons for this verdict.

FREIBURG 1984

...Like this class from Dortmund, visiting the monument.

A place to keep the memory of Nazi atrocities.

Today that is needed more than ever.

...annihilation of the Jewish race... -...because the murder of six million Jews....

was only possible because an entire people became perpetrators.

Let's misbehave...

STELLA GOLDSCHLAG WAS BOTH VICTIM AND PERPETRATOR

FROM SEPTEMBER 1943 TO THE END OF THE WAR, SHE BETRAYED HUNDREDS OF JEWS

MANY OF THEM WERE MURDERED IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS

AFTER A FIRST SUICIDE ATTEMPT IN 1984, SHE ENDED HER LIFE IN 1994

STELLA'S TRAGEDY TOOK PLACE IN A COUNTRY IN WHICH COUNTLESS PEOPLE

WERE GUILTY OF CRIMES IN THE NAME OF NAZISM

"YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PAST...

BUT TO PREVENT THAT THIS EVER HAPPENS AGAIN"
