1
00:00:01,021 --> 00:00:02,501
This is Auschwitz, and we lived there.
2
00:00:02,581 --> 00:00:04,501
Sweetie, we had no idea about that!
3
00:00:04,581 --> 00:00:06,181
-And now the curls, hm?
-[young Eva speaks Polish]
4
00:00:06,261 --> 00:00:08,421
[Eva] Then, the prisoners
were interrogated by Boger
5
00:00:08,501 --> 00:00:09,701
and his accomplices.
6
00:00:09,781 --> 00:00:11,341
Some of them even died as a result.
7
00:00:11,421 --> 00:00:12,501
[Annegret] Same thing again.
Coliform bacteria.
8
00:00:12,581 --> 00:00:14,541
That's the fourth case
we've had since summer.
9
00:00:14,621 --> 00:00:16,821
Unfortunately, I have to
terminate your contract.
10
00:00:16,901 --> 00:00:18,461
-Is it 'cause of my father?
-[prosecutor] No.
11
00:00:18,541 --> 00:00:19,781
[prosecutor]
It's about your future husband.
12
00:00:19,861 --> 00:00:21,101
Jürgen, I'm breaking things off.
13
00:00:21,181 --> 00:00:24,021
My parents didn't even go into the camp,
they were gassed right away.
14
00:00:24,101 --> 00:00:25,381
Except for my brother and me.
15
00:00:25,461 --> 00:00:28,261
[Eva] "Three-day stay
and inspection for the delegation
16
00:00:28,341 --> 00:00:30,021
is officially approved."
17
00:00:30,101 --> 00:00:31,501
This is the office of Robert Mulka.
18
00:00:31,581 --> 00:00:34,221
My client couldn't see the gas chambers
or the crematorium from here.
19
00:00:34,301 --> 00:00:36,661
Do you still have any files
from the administration back then?
20
00:00:38,861 --> 00:00:41,301
Were you in the camp?
Did you lose any relatives?
21
00:00:41,381 --> 00:00:43,301
[Eva] David! Stop!
22
00:00:43,381 --> 00:00:45,141
I don't have a brother.
I was never in the camp.
23
00:00:45,221 --> 00:00:46,901
[Miller] Why was my family spared?
24
00:00:46,981 --> 00:00:48,501
-Where's Miller?
-I thought he was already here.
25
00:00:48,581 --> 00:00:51,101
[screams]
David!
26
00:00:55,221 --> 00:00:58,901
[Stefan] "The women and children
were taken to the shower room first,
27
00:00:59,341 --> 00:01:00,381
then the men.
28
00:01:00,941 --> 00:01:04,621
In order to trick the victims
and avoid panic,
29
00:01:04,701 --> 00:01:10,781
signs were put up to say "To the bath,"
and "To the disinfection facilities."
30
00:01:10,861 --> 00:01:15,021
Between five and 700 people
came on the same train
31
00:01:15,661 --> 00:01:18,741
crammed into a 100-square meter room."
32
00:01:19,741 --> 00:01:21,101
FRANKFURT TAXI CENTER
CALL-A-TAXI FRANKFURT
33
00:01:21,181 --> 00:01:24,901
[Stefan] "Zyklon B was injected
into the room
34
00:01:24,981 --> 00:01:27,661
through an opening in the roof."
35
00:01:30,181 --> 00:01:33,981
"Outside the gas chambers,
they heard screams
36
00:01:34,061 --> 00:01:38,221
that turned into a humming sound
like a beehive,
37
00:01:38,301 --> 00:01:40,341
that got quieter and quieter.
38
00:01:43,061 --> 00:01:47,181
Death would occur within 5 to 15 minutes.
39
00:01:48,381 --> 00:01:53,501
The Special Unit had to retrieve
the bodies from the gas chambers.
40
00:01:53,581 --> 00:01:54,821
[Annegret] Stefan, go to bed!
41
00:01:55,381 --> 00:01:59,901
"They had to collect all the jewelry,
cut off the hair of the dead,
42
00:02:00,421 --> 00:02:02,821
and then take out their gold teeth.
43
00:02:03,381 --> 00:02:06,181
They removed the dead babies
from their mothers..."
44
00:02:06,261 --> 00:02:09,381
Hey! Don't read
someone else's diary, Stefan!
45
00:02:09,461 --> 00:02:10,781
That's really not okay!
46
00:02:10,861 --> 00:02:12,701
It's not a diary, Annegret!
47
00:02:12,781 --> 00:02:15,261
Eva wrote down
everything they said at the trial.
48
00:02:15,341 --> 00:02:18,221
Yeah, well, those are horror stories,
they're not for kids.
49
00:02:19,581 --> 00:02:21,941
It's what the people said in court.
50
00:02:27,861 --> 00:02:28,981
Stefan.
51
00:02:29,061 --> 00:02:30,781
You're not actually that dumb, right?
52
00:02:30,861 --> 00:02:34,141
Come on, do you know how much
of that Zyklon B they would have needed
53
00:02:34,221 --> 00:02:35,701
to use kill all of those people?
54
00:02:36,581 --> 00:02:37,941
[Stefan exhales]
55
00:02:38,021 --> 00:02:39,981
You lived there, right?
56
00:02:40,741 --> 00:02:42,461
[Stefan] Back before I was born?
57
00:02:50,021 --> 00:02:51,021
Yeah.
58
00:02:54,981 --> 00:02:55,981
Yes.
59
00:03:01,381 --> 00:03:06,781
There was one time, I saw a kid over
by the fence, um, behind our house.
60
00:03:10,541 --> 00:03:13,501
I don't know how he got over there,
he was around your age.
61
00:03:15,301 --> 00:03:19,181
[Annegret] And he asked me for something,
but... I couldn't understand him.
62
00:03:20,101 --> 00:03:23,381
Then I went, um, to the kitchen,
and got him something to eat.
63
00:03:23,461 --> 00:03:26,541
A glass of milk and some sandwiches.
64
00:03:27,461 --> 00:03:30,221
And then? Did you bring the kid food?
65
00:03:34,461 --> 00:03:35,501
Uh...
66
00:03:43,301 --> 00:03:44,661
There was no kid at all.
67
00:03:46,341 --> 00:03:48,661
All it was was a sad story, you know?
68
00:03:48,741 --> 00:03:51,621
And you fell for it, huh?
You have to grow up. C'mon.
69
00:03:51,701 --> 00:03:54,701
Off to bed, little toad.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
70
00:03:57,261 --> 00:03:59,461
[engine revs]
71
00:04:06,661 --> 00:04:07,741

-[door closes]
-[object thuds]
79
00:04:32,861 --> 00:04:34,061
[Eva] Is anyone home?
80
00:04:36,541 --> 00:04:37,701
Where are you?
81
00:04:40,621 --> 00:04:43,741
[Annegret] Welcome back, Eva.
I hope you had a pleasant journey.
82
00:04:43,821 --> 00:04:44,941
-[Eva] Who's sick?
-[Annegret] Papa.
83
00:04:45,021 --> 00:04:47,341
-[Eva] What's wrong?
-They picked him up yesterday.
84
00:04:47,421 --> 00:04:48,621
[Eva] Is it his shoulder again?
85
00:04:48,701 --> 00:04:51,261
With the sirens blaring,
he had a heart attack.
86
00:04:52,181 --> 00:04:53,261
[Eva] What?
87
00:04:55,701 --> 00:04:59,781
And it's all your fault.
The court sent over a subpoena.
88
00:04:59,861 --> 00:05:01,261
Asking our parents to testify.
89
00:05:01,341 --> 00:05:04,741
You're behind this, aren't you?
You did this, in your delusional state!
90
00:05:04,821 --> 00:05:06,541
-No, I didn't.
-They're all murderers, right?
91
00:05:06,621 --> 00:05:08,901
They're all monsters.
The worst crime in human history,
92
00:05:08,981 --> 00:05:11,021
and our parents are right
in the middle of it!
93
00:05:11,101 --> 00:05:13,541
I didn't have anything
to do with it, Annegret!
94
00:05:15,061 --> 00:05:16,621
-Where's Mother?
-At the hospital.
95
00:05:18,261 --> 00:05:19,861
-Is he going to die?
-[Annegret scoffs]
96
00:05:20,381 --> 00:05:21,741
-Answer me!
-Don't raise your voice.
97
00:05:21,821 --> 00:05:23,181
Stefan's finally sleeping.
98
00:05:23,781 --> 00:05:25,221
That heart attack is all your fault.
99
00:05:25,301 --> 00:05:26,581
Is that enough information?
100
00:05:28,981 --> 00:05:31,461
-I'm going over there.
-[Annegret] They don't want to see you.
101
00:05:31,541 --> 00:05:32,541
[door slams]
102
00:05:42,021 --> 00:05:43,061
Some tea.
103
00:05:55,741 --> 00:05:56,741
[sighs deeply]
104
00:05:56,821 --> 00:06:00,341
To sacrifice our dignity
right near the end. It's just pathetic!
105
00:06:00,421 --> 00:06:02,461
It's the right move,
it'll turn things around.
106
00:06:03,621 --> 00:06:06,861
I guess we were lucky to run
into the Bruhns family, after all, huh?
107
00:06:06,941 --> 00:06:09,341
The receipt
for your breakfast, Herr Mulka.
108
00:06:13,341 --> 00:06:15,261
FOUR SEASONS
Invoice
109
00:06:27,701 --> 00:06:29,821
[dishes clattering noisily]
110
00:06:35,301 --> 00:06:37,101
[Kübler] The Poles were
remarkably cooperative.
111
00:06:37,181 --> 00:06:39,381
But unfortunately,
our maps were, in fact, inaccurate.
112
00:06:39,461 --> 00:06:40,981
And what happened with Miller?
113
00:06:41,901 --> 00:06:42,981
[Kübler] He disappeared.
114
00:06:43,461 --> 00:06:44,821
[prosecutor] I knew something
was off about him.
115
00:06:44,901 --> 00:06:48,501
I'm sure he's on the lam in Poland,
one of those "Scouts of Peace".
116
00:06:48,581 --> 00:06:50,541
He's just a confused young man.
117
00:06:50,621 --> 00:06:52,421
Yeah, the East Germans planted him here.
118
00:06:52,501 --> 00:06:54,301
Why? What information
could he have obtained?
119
00:06:54,381 --> 00:06:55,621
-We've got nothing to hide.
-They're all over the place,
120
00:06:55,701 --> 00:06:56,861
those Stasi spies.
121
00:06:56,941 --> 00:06:59,221
And why call him back now?
That doesn't make any sense.
122
00:06:59,301 --> 00:07:02,341
The Stasi has its own logic.
You mark my words!
123
00:07:02,421 --> 00:07:04,221
[background chatter]
124
00:07:04,301 --> 00:07:05,341
[Kübler sighs deeply]
125
00:07:05,421 --> 00:07:08,861
Hey, um, I heard that Mulka
was actually telling the truth.
126
00:07:11,141 --> 00:07:13,141
Yeah. Um, yeah, that's unfortunate.
127
00:07:13,941 --> 00:07:16,261
They were right,
our maps were inaccurate, um...
128
00:07:16,341 --> 00:07:19,381
It turns out the officers' houses
were east of the fence.
129
00:07:19,461 --> 00:07:22,501
So he definitely wouldn't have walked past
the gas chamber on his way to work.
130
00:07:22,581 --> 00:07:25,101
Yeah, but he could see the building
clearly from his office.
131
00:07:25,181 --> 00:07:27,421
That was also wrong.
He faced the other direction.
132
00:07:27,501 --> 00:07:28,821
Damn it. Really?
133
00:07:28,901 --> 00:07:30,621
That was extremely sloppy preparation.
134
00:07:30,701 --> 00:07:32,661
I want Masberg and Kress held accountable!
135
00:07:32,741 --> 00:07:34,821
[Kübler] But we've got
the driving permits.
136
00:07:36,781 --> 00:07:39,261
Weren't they all destroyed
at the end of the war?
137
00:07:39,341 --> 00:07:40,541
Obviously not all.
138
00:07:42,861 --> 00:07:43,981
[sighs]
139
00:07:44,661 --> 00:07:45,701
Guten Morgen.
140
00:07:46,261 --> 00:07:48,101
Can I speak to you, Herr Kübler?
141
00:07:48,621 --> 00:07:49,621
-What's the matter?
-[prosecutor] Good talk.
142
00:07:49,701 --> 00:07:51,941
-See you in court, Kübler.
-[Kübler chuckles]
143
00:07:52,661 --> 00:07:53,981
-Hm?
-Could we please...
144
00:07:56,061 --> 00:07:57,221
[sighs]
145
00:08:02,581 --> 00:08:04,981
Who told you that my father
worked at Auschwitz?
146
00:08:05,621 --> 00:08:06,861
Beg your pardon?
147
00:08:07,221 --> 00:08:08,861
My father was a cook there.
148
00:08:11,341 --> 00:08:13,101
[mutters]
149
00:08:13,181 --> 00:08:14,261
I didn't know about that.
150
00:08:16,741 --> 00:08:19,861
Now my parents have to testify!
Did David Miller arrange this?
151
00:08:20,741 --> 00:08:22,581
[Kübler] Fräulein Bruhns, I have no idea.
152
00:08:23,261 --> 00:08:25,501
My... my father had to go to the hospital!
153
00:08:25,981 --> 00:08:29,941
He got so upset that...
that he even had a heart attack.
154
00:08:30,021 --> 00:08:31,701
[breathes deeply]
155
00:08:33,821 --> 00:08:35,101
[Eva] I can't even visit him.
156
00:08:38,181 --> 00:08:39,501
He cannot testify.
157
00:08:40,261 --> 00:08:41,581
It's gotta be an error, Fräulein Bruhns.
158
00:08:41,661 --> 00:08:43,301
That subpeona wasn't sent by our side.
159
00:08:43,941 --> 00:08:45,101
Definitely not.
160
00:08:45,661 --> 00:08:47,581
[associate] Herr Kübler,
we're heading out.
161
00:08:49,021 --> 00:08:50,021
[elevator dings]
162
00:08:50,101 --> 00:08:51,541
[Kübler] Are you ready for the trial?
163
00:08:55,621 --> 00:08:56,781
No.
164
00:08:58,101 --> 00:08:59,261
[Kübler] We need you today.
165
00:09:02,461 --> 00:09:04,461
[background chatter]
166
00:09:05,621 --> 00:09:07,141
[judge] Silence in the court!
167
00:09:09,541 --> 00:09:10,981
[defense lawyer] Thank you.
168
00:09:12,981 --> 00:09:14,261
Thank you very much.
169
00:09:14,901 --> 00:09:17,941
The on-site visit officially confirmed
the maps are inaccurate.
170
00:09:18,581 --> 00:09:23,541
As my client previously stated,
he had no knowledge of the gas chambers.
171
00:09:27,381 --> 00:09:28,621
[spectator coughs]
172
00:09:34,581 --> 00:09:37,061
Primary Defendant,
do you stand by what you said before
173
00:09:37,141 --> 00:09:40,261
that you did not know
that the gassings were happening?
174
00:09:42,821 --> 00:09:45,901
[Kübler] Or that thousands of people
were murdered in the gas chambers daily?
175
00:09:50,101 --> 00:09:51,421
I had no knowledge of this.
176
00:09:52,701 --> 00:09:54,621
Absolutely no knowledge at all?
177
00:09:57,181 --> 00:09:58,181
No.
178
00:10:09,261 --> 00:10:10,701
What I have here are the driving permits
179
00:10:10,781 --> 00:10:13,221
for some very specific transports
into Auschwitz
180
00:10:13,301 --> 00:10:15,261
that weren't destroyed
during its liberation.
181
00:10:17,661 --> 00:10:20,901
Driving permits
for the delivery of Zyklon B.
182
00:10:21,661 --> 00:10:23,381
Signed by the primary defendant.
183
00:10:23,461 --> 00:10:25,101
[spectators murmuring]
184
00:10:25,181 --> 00:10:28,381
[Kübler] "Driving permits
for May 24th, 1942.
185
00:10:28,461 --> 00:10:29,861
200 kilograms.
186
00:10:30,621 --> 00:10:34,741
September 13th, 1942. 300 kilograms.
187
00:10:35,301 --> 00:10:38,901
October 2nd, 1942. 200 kilograms.
188
00:10:38,981 --> 00:10:41,501
-A driving permit for October 19th, 1942.
-This changes things now...
189
00:10:41,581 --> 00:10:43,141
-200 kilograms.
-…that Mulka signed for it.
190
00:10:43,221 --> 00:10:46,101
December 1st, 1942. 200 kilograms.
191
00:10:46,181 --> 00:10:49,981
-January 13th, 1943. 300 kilograms."
-Write that down.
192
00:10:50,061 --> 00:10:52,421
[spectators murmuring]
193
00:10:53,861 --> 00:10:57,381
All of them are signed... by Robert Mulka.
194
00:11:01,221 --> 00:11:03,861
The chemical was obtained
only for its intended use
195
00:11:03,941 --> 00:11:05,981
so that means for disinfestation.
196
00:11:06,061 --> 00:11:09,141
There was an outbreak
of both spotted fever and typhoid.
197
00:11:09,221 --> 00:11:10,861
Both are transmitted by lice.
198
00:11:12,221 --> 00:11:14,541
In the archives,
there was also this complaint
199
00:11:14,621 --> 00:11:18,181
written by a Polish functionary prisoner
to the administration.
200
00:11:19,741 --> 00:11:21,501
He worked in the Disinfection Department.
201
00:11:21,581 --> 00:11:24,381
Fräulein Bruhns,
could you please translate this for us?
202
00:11:30,701 --> 00:11:33,661
"The 18th of February, 1943.
203
00:11:33,741 --> 00:11:36,301
To the camp administration.
Please take note.
204
00:11:38,261 --> 00:11:43,501
The shipment of Zyklon B
from Degesch, Hamburg, is not odorized.
205
00:11:45,461 --> 00:11:48,101
It is not suitable for pest control."
206
00:11:50,421 --> 00:11:53,541
What is the significance?
Please explain, Prosecutor.
207
00:11:53,621 --> 00:11:58,021
Odorization is a safety precaution
where a distinctive odor is added
208
00:11:58,101 --> 00:12:00,941
or mixed into an odorless gas
as a warning system.
209
00:12:02,181 --> 00:12:04,541
However, this gas was not meant
for disinfection.
210
00:12:05,181 --> 00:12:08,301
They had no desire
to warn the victims of the gas.
211
00:12:09,541 --> 00:12:11,061
[Kübler] Besides, to gas 1,000 people,
212
00:12:11,141 --> 00:12:14,461
you would only need
four kilograms of Zyklon B.
213
00:12:14,541 --> 00:12:16,981
[spectators murmuring]
214
00:12:17,061 --> 00:12:20,581
[judge] Silence in the court.
Silence, please.
215
00:12:20,661 --> 00:12:23,061
-[spectator 1] Animals!
-[spectator 2] You pigs!
216
00:12:23,141 --> 00:12:25,501
You're all pigs! And you're a murderer!
217
00:12:33,741 --> 00:12:37,181
And the amount delivered
was enough to gas over 300,000 people.
218
00:12:42,861 --> 00:12:43,901
[judge] Danke.
219
00:12:50,141 --> 00:12:51,581
[judge inhales deeply]
220
00:12:51,661 --> 00:12:53,021
[exhales sharply]
221
00:12:54,461 --> 00:12:56,461
Does the Primary Defendant still maintain
222
00:12:56,541 --> 00:12:58,821
he didn't know anything
about the gassings?
223
00:13:00,861 --> 00:13:03,501
We need to have a conversation
and change our strategy.
224
00:13:04,341 --> 00:13:06,661
It's like I tried to tell you before,
there is no other way.
225
00:13:07,261 --> 00:13:09,301
[defense lawyer]
We really need to discuss this now.
226
00:13:12,661 --> 00:13:16,181
Your Honor, I'd like to request a recess
so I can confer with my client.
227
00:13:16,261 --> 00:13:17,261
[judge] Uh-huh.
228
00:13:19,621 --> 00:13:23,501
[judge] We'll adjourn the court...
for five minutes.
229
00:13:26,381 --> 00:13:28,381
[spectators murmuring]
230
00:13:41,261 --> 00:13:42,301
[mouthing]
231
00:13:45,221 --> 00:13:47,261
[defense lawyer] I don't think
there's any way around it now.
232
00:13:47,341 --> 00:13:49,341
Listen, Robert, you should do
what he's saying.
233
00:13:51,901 --> 00:13:53,861
You were also on the trip to Poland?
234
00:13:55,141 --> 00:13:58,821
Herr Jerichow told me
that the young man, Herr Miller,
235
00:13:58,901 --> 00:14:00,101
that he went missing.
236
00:14:06,181 --> 00:14:07,781
Kind of a reckless young man.
237
00:14:09,381 --> 00:14:10,821
I was just like him once.
238
00:14:13,541 --> 00:14:15,181
Can't help worrying about the kid.
239
00:14:17,901 --> 00:14:21,021
I doubt that Herr Miller wants you,
of all people, worrying about him.
240
00:14:37,101 --> 00:14:38,301
What did he want?
241
00:14:40,141 --> 00:14:41,381
He asked about David.
242
00:14:42,581 --> 00:14:43,581
Hm...
243
00:14:44,981 --> 00:14:46,301
[judge] Silence, please.
244
00:14:47,541 --> 00:14:50,581
What was the result
of your consultation, Defense Counsel?
245
00:14:53,741 --> 00:14:57,261
My client does admit to having had
knowledge that the gassings had happened.
246
00:14:57,821 --> 00:14:59,581
-[thumps]
-[judge] Uh-huh.
247
00:14:59,661 --> 00:15:01,661
[spectators murmuring]
248
00:15:02,301 --> 00:15:03,541
[judge] Silence!
249
00:15:05,381 --> 00:15:08,581
[Dr. Jerichow] But he was always
opposed to what was occuring in the camp.
250
00:15:09,501 --> 00:15:11,061
He actually wanted to leave.
251
00:15:12,181 --> 00:15:14,141
He volunteered to go to the front lines.
252
00:15:14,741 --> 00:15:16,021
But it was to no avail.
253
00:15:16,101 --> 00:15:19,301
Now you're trying to convince us
that he's some kind of resistance fighter?
254
00:15:19,981 --> 00:15:21,021
-[spectator laughs]
-What a joke!
255
00:15:21,101 --> 00:15:22,661
[Dr. Jerichow] I would like to call
a witness to the stand
256
00:15:22,741 --> 00:15:25,141
who will provide evidence
of my client's mindset.
257
00:15:25,221 --> 00:15:27,861
I move the court hear the testimony
of the witness Frau Prieß.
258
00:15:29,661 --> 00:15:31,461
Prieß? Who does he mean?
259
00:15:31,981 --> 00:15:33,021
Prieß...
260
00:15:33,101 --> 00:15:34,181
Can I see that?
261
00:15:35,621 --> 00:15:38,701
I can't find her name written
anywhere on your witness list.
262
00:15:38,781 --> 00:15:39,781
One moment.
263
00:15:42,181 --> 00:15:43,341
-Do you have it?
-[Dr. Jerichow] Ah...
264
00:15:43,421 --> 00:15:44,501
-[court clerk] Nothing.
-Me neither.
265
00:15:44,581 --> 00:15:47,301
Yeah. I must have gotten my wires crossed.
266
00:15:47,381 --> 00:15:50,861
I move the court hear the testimony
of the witness Edith Bruhns.
267
00:15:52,821 --> 00:15:53,901
[chair scrapes]
268
00:15:53,981 --> 00:15:55,821
[Kübler] We have received no such request.
269
00:15:56,861 --> 00:16:01,261
We move that the testimony of this witness
be rejected pending our approval.
270
00:16:02,541 --> 00:16:04,701
We grant the motion
of the defense counsel.
271
00:16:05,341 --> 00:16:07,021
[judge] Can you please usher
in the witness.
272
00:16:07,101 --> 00:16:08,181
[Dr. Jerichow] Very well.
273
00:16:11,301 --> 00:16:12,501
[door opens]
274
00:16:26,981 --> 00:16:30,381
[judge] Witness, state your name,
address, and occupation.
275
00:16:30,461 --> 00:16:33,301
My name is Edith Bruhns, born Edith Wilms.
276
00:16:34,061 --> 00:16:37,461
I live at Berger Straße, 218.
And I'm a restaurant owner.
277
00:16:38,341 --> 00:16:40,701
[judge] Please be seated, witness.
And I must caution you,
278
00:16:40,781 --> 00:16:43,581
you are obligated to tell the truth
and nothing but the truth.
279
00:16:45,341 --> 00:16:48,661
-I swear on my children's lives and the--
-[judge] Yeah, yeah. Be seated, witness.
280
00:16:49,181 --> 00:16:51,421
[typewriter clacking]
281
00:17:00,621 --> 00:17:02,501
[judge] When did you arrive at the camp?
282
00:17:03,301 --> 00:17:05,181
In September of 1940.
283
00:17:05,261 --> 00:17:06,661
[judge] And in what capacity?
284
00:17:07,221 --> 00:17:11,381
I accompanied my husband there,
he worked in the officers' mess as a cook.
285
00:17:11,461 --> 00:17:13,181
[judge] Did you know about the camp?
286
00:17:15,541 --> 00:17:17,101
I knew they detained prisoners.
287
00:17:17,861 --> 00:17:19,941
[judge] And what did you witness
while you were there?
288
00:17:20,701 --> 00:17:22,821
Did you also work in the officers' mess?
289
00:17:24,181 --> 00:17:27,341
No, I had my two young daughters
to take care of.
290
00:17:28,541 --> 00:17:30,501
[judge] So you never set foot in the camp?
291
00:17:32,181 --> 00:17:33,221
[spectator coughs]
292
00:17:35,141 --> 00:17:36,141
I did.
293
00:17:37,581 --> 00:17:39,421
There was as hairdresser there I'd visit.
294
00:17:42,861 --> 00:17:43,981
[spectator] Nazi whore!
295
00:17:44,341 --> 00:17:45,541
[judge] Silence!
296
00:17:48,621 --> 00:17:52,381
And I, um, I noticed normal people
were also imprisoned there.
297
00:17:52,461 --> 00:17:54,901
Well, I... I mean, who weren't criminals.
298
00:17:56,021 --> 00:17:58,061
[judge] And that didn't make you
want to leave?
299
00:17:59,661 --> 00:18:00,661
Yes.
300
00:18:00,741 --> 00:18:03,261
I wanted my husband to request a transfer.
301
00:18:04,021 --> 00:18:05,861
But he would have gotten
drafted into the army
302
00:18:05,941 --> 00:18:07,821
'cause at that time, they needed soldiers.
303
00:18:08,901 --> 00:18:10,781
He was afraid that he would die.
304
00:18:12,861 --> 00:18:14,821
So I stopped asking him to do it.
305
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,301
[judge] What did you know
about the gassings?
306
00:18:25,421 --> 00:18:28,101
When the wind was from the east,
we had to shut the windows
307
00:18:29,181 --> 00:18:30,701
because of the ash.
308
00:18:30,781 --> 00:18:32,301
[judge] Answer my question.
309
00:18:37,021 --> 00:18:39,421
Yes, I was aware.
310
00:18:39,501 --> 00:18:41,181
[spectators murmur]
311
00:18:41,261 --> 00:18:43,381
[judge] And you never thought about
the people who were dying
312
00:18:43,461 --> 00:18:44,781
right next door to you?
313
00:18:55,661 --> 00:18:58,541
Um, one day, Annegret came to me,
my older daughter.
314
00:18:59,621 --> 00:19:02,021
She said, "There is a little boy
by the fence."
315
00:19:02,101 --> 00:19:03,661
She was right about that.
316
00:19:03,741 --> 00:19:05,701
There was a boy who made it
into our garden.
317
00:19:07,581 --> 00:19:09,421
I went to him but he was dead.
318
00:19:09,501 --> 00:19:11,181
You could tell he starved to death.
319
00:19:13,101 --> 00:19:15,221
I informed our neighbors
this had happened.
320
00:19:17,621 --> 00:19:18,981
And the boy was taken away.
321
00:19:24,061 --> 00:19:25,341
[chair scraping]
322
00:19:26,861 --> 00:19:28,741
[Dr. Jerichow] Who was your neighbor?
323
00:19:30,061 --> 00:19:32,741
Herr Mulka. Robert Mulka.
324
00:19:32,821 --> 00:19:34,581
[Dr. Jerichow] You and your husband
must've participated
325
00:19:34,661 --> 00:19:36,421
in the social life of the officers?
326
00:19:38,181 --> 00:19:40,021
If the occasion arose, yes.
327
00:19:40,981 --> 00:19:45,101
Did you attend the officers'
Christmas party in 1943 as well?
328
00:19:45,181 --> 00:19:46,981
[whispers]
1943.
329
00:19:47,061 --> 00:19:48,501
We could have. Yes.
330
00:19:48,581 --> 00:19:52,261
[Dr. Jerichow] Do you recall a specific
incident that happened there?
331
00:19:54,421 --> 00:19:56,381
Uh, um, I'm not sure what you mean.
332
00:19:56,461 --> 00:19:59,861
[Dr. Jerichow] Didn't you file a complaint
with the Reich Security Main Office
333
00:19:59,941 --> 00:20:04,101
in Berlin against the primary defendant
just one day after the party?
334
00:20:05,621 --> 00:20:07,541
I... I really don't recall.
335
00:20:07,621 --> 00:20:10,021
[footsteps]
336
00:20:10,101 --> 00:20:11,421
[spectators murmur]
337
00:20:11,501 --> 00:20:12,981
[Dr. Jerichow]
"Reich Security Main Office."
338
00:20:13,061 --> 00:20:14,621
-[judge] Mm-hm...
-[Dr. Jerichow] "Complaint."
339
00:20:15,461 --> 00:20:17,141
[judge] You don't remember this?

these murderers and monsters?
514
00:32:57,061 --> 00:32:59,541
Many citizens want an answer
to that question.
515
00:32:59,621 --> 00:33:02,021
The head defense attorney, Fritz Jerichow,
516
00:33:02,101 --> 00:33:06,181
is currently making his final arguments
behind closed doors.
517
00:33:06,701 --> 00:33:08,901
[Dr. Jerichow] With regard to the case
of my client Boger,
518
00:33:08,981 --> 00:33:12,621
I would like to point out the problematic
nature of the witnesses' testimonies.
519
00:33:12,701 --> 00:33:16,301
My client was not posted
to Auschwitz before December of 1942
520
00:33:16,381 --> 00:33:19,181
and he was only assigned to
the Political Department
521
00:33:19,261 --> 00:33:20,741
in January of 1943.
522
00:33:21,301 --> 00:33:26,541
However, there are several witnesses who,
even despite in-depth questioning,
523
00:33:26,621 --> 00:33:30,221
maintain that they saw him
in the summer and autumn of 1942
524
00:33:30,301 --> 00:33:32,341
as a member of the Political Department.
525
00:33:33,461 --> 00:33:36,701
For instance, the account
from witness Paweł Sowa,
526
00:33:38,181 --> 00:33:43,741
said that on the 28th of October 1942,
my client was with a firing squad
527
00:33:43,821 --> 00:33:47,101
executing inmates, and he saw him there.
528
00:33:48,181 --> 00:33:51,181
In a camp where several
of the non-commissioned SS members
529
00:33:51,261 --> 00:33:53,541
looked similar in stature
to defendant Boger.
530
00:33:53,621 --> 00:33:55,741
He's roughly six feet tall, and back then,
531
00:33:55,821 --> 00:34:00,901
he possessed, as is still the case,
a certain military leanness about him,
532
00:34:01,621 --> 00:34:03,461
so it's not at all surprising.
533
00:34:03,541 --> 00:34:04,821
[spectator coughs]
534
00:34:04,901 --> 00:34:06,461
Now these witness statements show us
535
00:34:06,541 --> 00:34:09,301
how easily these officers
could be mixed up,
536
00:34:09,381 --> 00:34:12,661
and it's only possible to recognize
someone in uniform with certainty
537
00:34:12,741 --> 00:34:15,181
if one knows the person very, very well.
538
00:34:16,381 --> 00:34:19,741
The different ranks looked so similar
that even commanding officers
539
00:34:19,821 --> 00:34:22,741
often mistook one
non-commissioned guard for another.
540
00:34:22,821 --> 00:34:26,421
This is a fundamental flaw
that affects the whole trial.
541
00:34:26,501 --> 00:34:28,181
[defendants thumping]
542
00:34:28,261 --> 00:34:30,661
[Dr. Jerichow] Thank you.
I request that the defendants involved
543
00:34:30,741 --> 00:34:32,741
in the segregation process be acquitted.
544
00:34:35,741 --> 00:34:39,461
These men behaved contrarily
to Hitler's extermination order,
545
00:34:40,061 --> 00:34:42,981
as they made the decision
to bring people into the camp
546
00:34:43,061 --> 00:34:44,741
and not send them straight
to gas chambers.
547
00:34:45,341 --> 00:34:48,501
There might even be some
who would argue that these men
548
00:34:48,581 --> 00:34:51,701
have managed to save innumerable lives.
549
00:34:51,781 --> 00:34:53,461
[spectators murmuring]
550
00:34:53,541 --> 00:34:55,261
[spectator] Those people are monsters!
551
00:34:55,341 --> 00:34:58,581
[judge] The defendants may now make
their final statements.
552
00:34:58,661 --> 00:35:00,861
Primary Defendant Mulka.
553
00:35:00,941 --> 00:35:02,461
[judge] Please stand.
554
00:35:02,541 --> 00:35:04,181
[birds chirping]
555
00:35:04,261 --> 00:35:06,061
[Robert] I hereby place my future
556
00:35:06,141 --> 00:35:10,421
and that of my unfortunate family
in the hands of the high court
557
00:35:11,941 --> 00:35:15,421
in the firm belief that it will
very carefully weigh
558
00:35:16,261 --> 00:35:20,061
the fateful circumstances that led me
to my regrettable predicament
559
00:35:20,141 --> 00:35:24,101
at that time
and give them due consideration.
560
00:35:25,941 --> 00:35:31,701
Thus, I remain hopeful
in the expectation that the court
561
00:35:32,661 --> 00:35:34,581
will come to a just decision.
562
00:35:35,421 --> 00:35:37,181
[keys jingling]

[♪ tense music]
564
00:35:46,101 --> 00:35:49,821
Today is the final day of what has come
to be called The Auschwitz Trial.
565
00:35:49,901 --> 00:35:53,981
The trial lasted for more than 100 days
during which the primary defendant
566
00:35:54,061 --> 00:35:56,301
was questioned about his knowledge
of the gassings.
567
00:35:57,341 --> 00:36:02,341
...all waiting to hear the verdict
on the 22 defendants here today…
568
00:36:02,421 --> 00:36:04,941
[reporter speaking Italian]
569
00:36:05,021 --> 00:36:07,381
Herr Mulka, a photo!

[♪ tense music]
572
00:36:12,061 --> 00:36:16,301
[prosecutor] Not one of the accused
has taken responsibility for his actions.
573
00:36:16,381 --> 00:36:19,861
Prosecutors, witnesses,
and the public have waited for 20 months
574
00:36:19,941 --> 00:36:23,181
to hear a single compassionate
word from the defendants.
575
00:36:23,261 --> 00:36:27,381
It would clear the air if even one of them
uttered a single word of human kindness.
576
00:36:28,661 --> 00:36:29,981
It hasn't happened though.
577
00:36:31,061 --> 00:36:34,541
I don't believe it will. Danke.
578
00:36:50,781 --> 00:36:52,061
[Eva speaking Polish]
579
00:37:00,541 --> 00:37:01,701
Courtroom's full.
580
00:37:02,861 --> 00:37:05,541
There must be one more seat
that's still available.
581
00:37:07,181 --> 00:37:08,181
You have a pass?
582
00:37:08,781 --> 00:37:09,941
You know me though.
583
00:37:10,861 --> 00:37:11,941
You can listen from the outside.
584
00:37:12,021 --> 00:37:14,581
[bailiff] The high court
is now in session. All rise.
585
00:37:22,061 --> 00:37:25,221
[judge] The Frankfurt Regional Court
is now in session.
586
00:37:29,261 --> 00:37:33,741
We call the criminal case
against Mulka et al.
587
00:37:35,701 --> 00:37:40,101
Criminal liability of the crimes committed
during the National Socialist era
588
00:37:40,181 --> 00:37:42,781
depends on the laws enforced at the time.
589
00:37:42,861 --> 00:37:44,701
-Herr Schoormann?
-[judge] According to German law,
590
00:37:44,781 --> 00:37:46,621
the principal offenders
are Hitler and Himmler.
591
00:37:46,701 --> 00:37:47,861
[officer] It's full.
592
00:37:47,941 --> 00:37:49,701
-Uh...
-Herr Schoormann?
593
00:37:49,781 --> 00:37:51,061
Recognize me?
594
00:37:51,981 --> 00:37:53,141
Well, naturally.
595
00:37:53,221 --> 00:37:54,621
[judge] ...whether the defendants
acted as perpetrators...
596
00:37:54,701 --> 00:37:56,541
-Why aren't you inside?
-...that is, with intent in regard
597
00:37:56,621 --> 00:37:57,981
to the principal offense...
598
00:37:58,581 --> 00:38:01,221
-Come here.
-…or as accomplices of the regime
599
00:38:01,301 --> 00:38:02,381
at the time.
600
00:38:04,421 --> 00:38:07,581
The following words
were inscribed above the camp gate...
601
00:38:07,661 --> 00:38:09,661
"Your work will set you free."
602
00:38:10,901 --> 00:38:16,581
However, the invisible subtext read,
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."
603
00:38:17,261 --> 00:38:21,381
For then just beyond that gate
was a hell that is simply impossible
604
00:38:21,461 --> 00:38:26,621
for our brains to comprehend
and that words cannot describe.
605
00:38:31,181 --> 00:38:32,181
The defendants...
606
00:38:32,261 --> 00:38:37,501
are accused of murdering numerous people
at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
607
00:38:39,021 --> 00:38:42,581
Jews and Christians, Poles and Germans,
608
00:38:42,661 --> 00:38:46,301
Russian prisoners of war
and members of other faiths,
609
00:38:46,381 --> 00:38:48,461
people from all over Europe.
610
00:38:49,181 --> 00:38:52,181
Over the course of the many
months of this trial,
611
00:38:52,261 --> 00:38:55,781
this court has experienced
in spirit all of the suffering
612
00:38:55,861 --> 00:39:00,421
and all of the anguish
that these people themselves endured,
613
00:39:00,501 --> 00:39:05,261
that will from this day forward
be associated with the name Auschwitz.
614
00:39:06,221 --> 00:39:11,941
There will probably be some among us
who, for a long time, will be unable
615
00:39:12,021 --> 00:39:15,781
to look into the joyful
and trusting eyes of a child
616
00:39:16,621 --> 00:39:21,621
without being reminded of the hollow,
questioning, bewildered
617
00:39:21,701 --> 00:39:24,741
and terrified eyes of the children...
618
00:39:24,821 --> 00:39:29,501
who took their very last steps
in Auschwitz.
619
00:39:31,141 --> 00:39:32,541

All of the defendants
invoke orders from their superiors.
623
00:39:52,221 --> 00:39:55,661
In the criminal case against Mulka et al,
624
00:39:55,741 --> 00:39:57,541
the following verdict
is hereby pronounced.
625
00:39:57,621 --> 00:39:58,741
[Eva] I'll be right back.
626
00:39:59,821 --> 00:40:03,421
[radio host] The court has just delivered
its verdict at the Gallus Courthouse.
627
00:40:03,501 --> 00:40:07,621
16 of the 20 remaining defendants
were sentenced to a prison term.
628
00:40:07,701 --> 00:40:09,661
Six defendants, including Wilhelm Boger,
629
00:40:09,741 --> 00:40:12,341
the so-called "beast",
received lifetime sentences.
630
00:40:12,421 --> 00:40:15,341
What can you say?
That all happened ages ago.
631
00:40:15,421 --> 00:40:17,381
There was a war going on.
Everything was different back then.
632
00:40:17,461 --> 00:40:18,861
Hey, be more careful!
633
00:40:19,741 --> 00:40:22,501
You're always leaving dark spots
on the potatoes!
634
00:40:23,821 --> 00:40:27,581
[radio host] With this decision, the court
largely follows the widely held opinion
635
00:40:27,661 --> 00:40:30,181
that only a select few people
in positions of authority
636
00:40:30,261 --> 00:40:32,461
bear responsibility for the genocide
637
00:40:32,541 --> 00:40:35,821
whereas everyone else
was just following orders.
638

I have to ask a question.

[Diana] Go ahead.
643
00:41:02,901 --> 00:41:04,581
I'm Eva Bruhns. I was an interpreter.
644
00:41:04,661 --> 00:41:06,021
And I've been here
for almost a year now and I--
645
00:41:06,101 --> 00:41:09,381
[Diana] I know. I was there the day
that witness talked about Lili Tofler.
646
00:41:10,581 --> 00:41:13,621
My father shot her five times,
the final shot was fatal.
647
00:41:16,901 --> 00:41:18,501
'Cause she'd written some letter.
648
00:41:21,341 --> 00:41:22,621
Just some love letter.
649
00:41:25,021 --> 00:41:26,221
She was only in love.
650
00:41:32,661 --> 00:41:34,141
Can you forgive your father?
651
00:41:39,421 --> 00:41:42,301
I'm putting all my hope in my child
growing up to be a good person.

You have a visitor. A gentleman.
655
00:42:02,541 --> 00:42:03,981

[Stefan] And my prickly toad lady!
661
00:42:17,661 --> 00:42:19,661
Do Mom and Papa know you're here?
662
00:42:19,741 --> 00:42:23,621
They think I'm at Tommi's.
But he's not my best friend now.
663
00:42:23,701 --> 00:42:24,901
[Eva] Oh, yeah? Why not?
664
00:42:25,821 --> 00:42:28,661
His parents don't want him
to play with me anymore.
665
00:42:30,101 --> 00:42:31,941
Mother hit me, you know.
666
00:42:32,021 --> 00:42:33,101
I don't believe that.
667
00:42:33,181 --> 00:42:36,301
Yeah. She did it 'cause I called her
a toothless granny.
668
00:42:36,901 --> 00:42:39,101
-Oh, Stefan...
-She now has removable dentures now.
669

-[fake munching]
-Stefan.
670
00:42:41,101 --> 00:42:43,781
You can't say that,
it'll hurt her feelings.
671
00:42:45,181 --> 00:42:46,741
A toothless granny?
672
00:42:46,821 --> 00:42:49,501
[both laughing]
673
00:42:49,581 --> 00:42:52,581
Granny, granny, granny!
[laughs]
674
00:42:54,581 --> 00:42:55,581
[chuckles]
675
00:42:56,261 --> 00:42:57,461
And how's Papa?
676
00:42:58,741 --> 00:43:00,461
They reopened the restaurant.
677
00:43:02,301 --> 00:43:03,341
That's good.
678
00:43:06,421 --> 00:43:09,061
[Stefan] It's weird. Now you're all alone.
679
00:43:10,101 --> 00:43:12,461
And Annegret has a fiancé.
680
00:43:12,541 --> 00:43:13,741
Dr. Küssner.
681
00:43:14,741 --> 00:43:17,661
He says call him Hartmut.
But he has to get a divorce.
682
00:43:18,261 --> 00:43:21,181
[Stefan] Hartmut...
[chuckles]

00:43:22,501 --> 00:43:24,341
I want you to come home.
684
00:43:25,901 --> 00:43:28,981
I know that,
but... I've got to spend some time alone.
685
00:43:32,621 --> 00:43:34,541
[Stefan] Do you think it will snow soon?
686
00:43:35,461 --> 00:43:36,581
Yeah, I'm sure.
687
00:43:39,621 --> 00:43:41,301

[receptionist] Fräulein Bruhns?

Uh, there's a call for you.
694
00:43:58,981 --> 00:44:00,341
His name had an "Ü"...
695
00:44:02,461 --> 00:44:05,461
-Jürgen?
-Uh, Hans Kübler, prosecutor's office.
696
00:44:06,341 --> 00:44:08,501
Hello, Herr Kübler. How are you?
697
00:44:10,341 --> 00:44:12,461
Um, we're currently preparing
a new set of charges.
698
00:44:12,541 --> 00:44:14,101
[Eva] Have you heard from David?
699
00:44:16,341 --> 00:44:17,461
No.

[Kübler clears throat]
701
00:44:19,941 --> 00:44:23,061
The man you're looking for,
he really was the hairdresser at the camp.
702
00:44:23,141 --> 00:44:25,381
I found him on the list
of functionary prisoners.
703
00:44:25,941 --> 00:44:27,941
His name is Wiktor Jaschinsky.
704
00:44:28,701 --> 00:44:31,021
His daughter Magda worked
as his assistant until she
705
00:44:31,101 --> 00:44:35,341
was shot at the Black Wall
in November 1944 by Boger.
706
00:44:37,981 --> 00:44:39,181
Is he still alive?

Guten Abend, Father.

[Wally] Congratulations.
715
00:46:00,781 --> 00:46:04,501
Have you come give me
a shove right over the ledge?
716
00:46:05,221 --> 00:46:07,501
Or is enough to do patricide on paper?
717
00:46:08,981 --> 00:46:10,901
You agreed to the transfer of ownership.
718
00:46:10,981 --> 00:46:11,981
Yeah.

720
00:46:13,141 --> 00:46:15,141
Hopefully, I'll pass away quickly.
721
00:46:16,061 --> 00:46:18,461
And avoid seeing
the downfall of the company.
722
00:46:20,301 --> 00:46:22,341
Thanks, that was a really great pep talk.
723

-Here.

724
00:46:27,301 --> 00:46:28,381

[Jürgen] Your sacred Citroën?
726
00:46:33,581 --> 00:46:34,741
To what do I owe this honor?
727
00:46:36,261 --> 00:46:38,421
I want you to have the staff's respect.
728
00:46:40,261 --> 00:46:42,861
If you drive a sports car
to work every day,
729
00:46:43,661 --> 00:46:44,941
it'll be difficult.

731
00:46:55,141 --> 00:46:56,461
Father, I killed someone.
732
00:47:03,341 --> 00:47:05,981
It was a week after I found out
that Mother had died.
733
00:47:13,341 --> 00:47:14,981
[Jürgen] I ran away from the farm.
734
00:47:15,901 --> 00:47:19,781
I wanted to make my way to you
to free you from that prison.
735
00:47:31,141 --> 00:47:32,221
I was in a forest.
736
00:47:33,221 --> 00:47:34,741
Then planes were overhead.
737
00:47:36,141 --> 00:47:38,421
The Americans were coming
to attack Frankfurt.
738
00:47:44,301 --> 00:47:45,381
Uh...
739
00:47:46,861 --> 00:47:48,981
I saw the anti-aircraft fire
on the horizon.
740
00:47:52,021 --> 00:47:54,901
Then I saw one plane,
it burned and veered away.
741
00:47:57,501 --> 00:47:58,941
There was a man who fell out.
742
00:48:01,061 --> 00:48:02,501
His parachute deployed.
743
00:48:04,381 --> 00:48:05,981
He fell through the branches...
744
00:48:07,581 --> 00:48:09,341
directly in front of me.
745
00:48:14,581 --> 00:48:15,701
I walked closer.
746
00:48:17,741 --> 00:48:19,861
He was on the ground.
He couldn't move at all.
747
00:48:23,301 --> 00:48:24,301
"Help me!"
748
00:48:25,781 --> 00:48:26,941
That's what he said.
749
00:48:32,021 --> 00:48:34,261
Then he grabbed me
when I tried to run away.
750
00:48:37,741 --> 00:48:38,941
So I just kicked him.
751
00:48:43,141 --> 00:48:47,141
First I kicked his legs, then his stomach.
752
00:48:49,461 --> 00:48:50,741
And finally his face.
753
00:48:54,261 --> 00:48:55,421
Until he was dead.
754
00:48:59,221 --> 00:49:00,861
During all this, I ejaculated.
755
00:49:06,341 --> 00:49:07,541
I lost all control.
756
00:49:13,221 --> 00:49:15,061
When I think about it,
it's like I wasn't there.
757
00:49:15,541 --> 00:49:16,861
Just evil itself.
758
00:49:19,661 --> 00:49:24,301
But it was just... my helplessness
759
00:49:25,981 --> 00:49:27,701
My hatred…
760
00:49:29,941 --> 00:49:32,661

864
00:57:13,421 --> 00:57:14,421
EXIT
865
00:57:14,501 --> 00:57:16,901
[Sissi] I read that they're preparing
another trial.
866
00:57:16,981 --> 00:57:18,621
Will you be involved again?
867
00:57:18,701 --> 00:57:20,741
[Eva] I want to,
but I have to apply first.
868
00:57:20,821 --> 00:57:24,261
[Sissi] Is it really worth the effort?
The sentences are ridiculously lenient.
869
00:57:24,341 --> 00:57:26,141
[Eva] Yes, it's worth the effort.
870
00:57:28,421 --> 00:57:30,501
Where are you heading?
I'm going to Gallus.
871
00:57:30,981 --> 00:57:32,981
The plane should have landed by now.
872
00:57:33,061 --> 00:57:34,621
[Jürgen breathes deeply]
873
00:57:35,821 --> 00:57:38,541
I guess it'll take
another 30 minutes to get here.
874
00:57:38,621 --> 00:57:41,901
It's what people call
"rush hour traffic," isn't it?
875
00:57:41,981 --> 00:57:42,981
[Jürgen] Yes.
876
00:57:46,501 --> 00:57:48,901
[receptionist] You know, we bought all
our bed linen from you.
877
00:57:49,901 --> 00:57:51,141
Excuse me?
878
00:57:51,221 --> 00:57:53,021
[receptionist]
You're Herr Schoormann, right?
879
00:57:53,941 --> 00:57:55,221
-Yes.
-Much cheaper than buying it
880
00:57:55,301 --> 00:57:57,341
from a wholesaler. How do you do that?
881
00:57:58,061 --> 00:57:59,301
[dog barking]
882
00:57:59,381 --> 00:58:01,261
Everything gets sewn in the GDR.
883
00:58:01,821 --> 00:58:02,981
[Jürgen chuckles]
884
00:58:03,101 --> 00:58:04,181
Ah...
885
00:58:04,981 --> 00:58:08,341
-Ah! So that's why!
-[Jürgen chuckles]
886
00:58:08,421 --> 00:58:09,821
[receptionist laughs]
887
00:58:10,501 --> 00:58:11,861
In the GDR, huh?
888
00:58:12,861 --> 00:58:13,861
[receptionist blows air]
889

890
00:58:22,461 --> 00:58:24,021
To pass the time more quickly.
891
00:58:25,781 --> 00:58:28,341
Or would you prefer something
more modern, Herr Schoormann?
892
00:58:30,501 --> 00:58:32,581
-Go ahead and leave it on.
-Great.
893
00:58:33,781 --> 00:58:37,221
I'd much rather listen to this
than that so-called "new music."
894
00:58:38,221 --> 00:58:40,661
The noise from a construction site
sounds better.
895
00:58:40,741 --> 00:58:42,021
[rain pattering]
896
00:58:42,101 --> 00:58:44,101
[receptionist]
The world is going down the drain.
897
00:58:44,181 --> 00:58:45,421
So strange...

to the Guesthouse in Old Frankfurt.
