"Unterscharführer Siegfried Mahler, Herr General." "The ghetto headquarters in Theresienstadt await your orders." "Herr Obersturmbannführer von Holier asks to be allowed to see you at the transport siding." "Thank you." "Drive on!" " Attention!" " Attention!" "I hope it won't rain, Herr Obersturmführer." "I think everything will work out." "We had another rehearsal yesterday." " Splendid." " Now we're driving through L-Street." "The bank is already full of ghetto money." "Yes, Herr Obersturmbannführer!" "Even the selected 350 damned Jews for the International Red Cross Committee." " Heil Hitler!" " Heil Hitler, Herr General!" "Allow me to introduce..." "my adjutant..." " Obersturmführer Moritz Herz." " Heil Hitler!" " Obersturmführer Alfred Gutbart." " Heil Hitler!" " Sturmführer Hans Fiedler." " Heil Hitler!" "Fantastic." "A colossally convincing idea." "Only now do I understand what the fuhrer really had in mind." "Everyone will be able to see how wronged we were - trying to make people believe that our hands were stained with blood." "A Jewish film..." "The whole world will be astounded." "I am so glad to be in Theresienbad at last." "I'll tell you later." "Hello, this way." "Take one!" "We're quite all right here in Terezín." "We have everything we need." "A bit amateurish but otherwise convincing." "Don't forget to buy the fishing rods in Prague." "Yes." "I beg you not so cut and dry." "Once more please, and think you are helping somebody - me, for instance." "Send for the film director." "I'd like to have a closer look at him." "Film director." "Jewish pig Kurt Israel Gerron, Herr General." "I am looking forward to seeing your film..." "You'll all be in it, folks." "Keep smiling!" "OK... start rolling!" "Scene 105!" "We're fine here in Terezín." "I have everything I need." "We're fine here in Terezín." "I have everything I need." "We're fine here in Terezín." "I have everything I need." "TRANSPORT FROM PARADISE" "Bobbing along, up and down again The ship sails on with us it makes us seasick And ifs not good for us." "Bobbing along, up and down again The ship sails on with us it makes us seasick And ifs not good for us." "Attention!" "Attention!" "Attention!" "Make way!" "Make way!" "What beasts are these?" "Sheep from Ladice, Herr General." "The Bank." " They're filming here?" " No, it's a real bank, Herr General." " Whose idea was that?" " The Reichsführer-SS." " After you." " Thank you." "Carry on..." "Damn it, the cat must be somewhere." "Here pussy, pussy..." "Have you seen the cat anywhere?" "Never mind the cat." "It'll only bring us bad luck." "They could easily send us to the Small Fortress for that." "Yes, but Mr Marmulstaub would have to catch us first, you wiseass..." "Come here, you little Marmulstaub's darling." "I know what a tasty little dish you'll make!" "She'll bring us bad luck." "For god's sake, stop harping on Mylord!" "I hear one of those Nobel Prize winners is here." "Invented aspirin or something." "Vágus has some 'prominent' female in tow again." "Wife of an inventor too." "Good at figures, I believe." "And what about it?" "You donkey!" "Ever hear of Robert Pick?" "One of the world's great mathematicians." "They gave him a job straight away in the Central Documentation Office." "Do you know what that means?" "As long as Vágus is on good terms with the wife, his name will never appear on the transport list." "Yes, my friends..." "Attention!" "Here are we stealing, lads, and a marshal is marching above us." "Sure, Vágus is smart." "He even walks about in a dinner jacket." "And she, out of her love for him, will get him out of it, through her old man with his ID card!" "Carry on!" "Carry on!" "You'll never be a ladies' man like him." "You'd tie yourself in knots!" " Besides..." " Damn it, shut up, Dany!" " Hand it over!" " Thanks Vágus." "I'm filming." "Liza!" "Gerron's directing and acting his own part." "Tell me, Vágus, who'd manage to pull off a thing like that?" "Well, you see, he was terribly famous." "Yes." "36, 37..." " 39, 40." " 641, 2, 3, 4." "645, 46, 47... 648, 9... 650... 1... 2... 3 and 4... 5... 6... 8... 9..." "Jewish Pig!" "So they didn't teach you in the Prague Exhibition Palace to greet a German officer when you see one, what?" "All right, my friend, I'll see that they polish up your manners a bit here!" "Eyes down!" "Attention!" "Kurt Leschner, Herr General." "Taking over the transport." " Transport, capital C." " Thank you." "With the approval of the fuhrer, we are trialling a 'policy of collaboration' in this town, Herr General." "We are also following your instructions." "We could adopt this policy of 'carrot and stick' in other camps." "Splendid!" "A brilliant idea!" " Look at this, please." " This is splendid indeed." "Please follow me this way now." "The Theresienstadt ghetto is self-governing with an autonomous administration." "They do everything themselves, as they see fit but of course taking our wishes and advice into consideration." "They even draw up the transport list themselves, we only state the number." "In a sense, they have their own government." "Before God, the blame, merit and consequences fall upon them." "We only extend a helping hand when there's a hitch somewhere or when your little Jewish town begins to look too much like a Jewish school." "Then, of course, we get involved, Herr General." "Pregnancy is strictly forbidden, Herr General." "Any infringement means:" "Kleine Festung or transport." "The mortality rate is 300 people per day due to natural causes." "I am glad, Herr Obersturmbannführer, to have seen all this." "The Red Cross have repeatedly applied for permission to visit your camp." "I shall now be in a position to grant their request." "Theresienstadt is truly the town Adolf Hitler has gifted to the Jews." "Colossal is the word for it!" "KILL FASCISM!" "DON'T HELP SHOOT A FILM TO DECEIVE THE WORLD" "WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER MEALS AND GOING TO THE TOILET" "The Herr General sent for you." "Obersturmführer Herz, I was with the fuhrer some days ago visiting the Eastern Front." "There I saw the truly heroic deeds of our soldiers." "And what do I see here in Theresienstadt?" "Demagogic slogans of Bolshevist ink-slingers!" "I shall give the order for a new transport to be sent tomorrow." "And you, Obersturmführer Herz, will be responsible to me for a thorough search of Block H4." "You may go!" "Anything else?" "The Chairman of the Town Council is waiting outside." "Let him come in." "Have you brought the transport lists?" " Yes, General." " Speak German!" "Yes, Herr General!" "Is it drawn up by the Commission of the Town Council?" "As always, Herr General." "You have forgotten to sign it." "I shall not sign it." "Not this time." "Where the transport is going - there are gas chambers." "Nonsense, Löwenbach." "There are factories of the German Reich in Birkenau." "We need a larger labour force." "Germany is growing." "This transport will go without my signature." "Where do you get these stories of atrocity from?" "Maybe from the same people who stick the posters up in block H4?" "Sign it!" "We have explained the whole matter to you, David Israel Löwenbach." "You are making insinuations without any proof whilst shielding those who bring information to you." "And what's going on in Block H4, of course you know." " What's the number of the Bunker?" " Dial 04, Herr General." "Thank you." "Bunker!" "'Special treatment'." "You... go!" "Do you not find it strange, Herr Obersturmbannführer that you should be testing out a policy of collaboration in this town?" "Send for my dear Ignatz Marmulstaub, will you?" "The transport cards must be back by tomorrow." "Forms A10-5-2 have run out again in the Card Index Office." "There are enough." "They're not valid any more." "Each transport must have a lead seal." "I got small pliers for them." "I see my leave's gone to the devil again!" "Open the door!" "The Chairman of the Town Council!" "Halt!" "March!" "Bobbing along, up and down again The ship sails on with us." "Bobbing along, up and down again The ship sails on with us it makes us seasick And ifs not good for us." "Tell the Block Leaders that a transport is going tomorrow." "Löwenbach has refused to sign." "He's been sent to the Bunker." "Bring the report from the messenger in Bohušovice to Block H4." "Clear the square!" "The messenger from Bohušovice reports Soviet Army approaching Osvětim." "Liberation may be expected any day." " Mr Spiegel..." " Yes, Mr Spiegel." "In person." "Maybe they'll come in handy." "But Mr Spiegel, how come?" "Yes, my dear Mrs Feiner, we may well ask, but of whom?" "You are incorrigible, aren't you?" "I'm afraid so, in fact I'm sure." "At my age..." "I hear some bigwig has arrived." "Is there anything going on?" "Nothing, absolutely nothing." "Rest assured, Mrs Feiner." " Mr Spiegel." " Yes, I only dream sometimes..." "I often have such beautiful dreams..." "For example, yesterday I had a dream that I am sitting in a café in Prague, reading a paper and suddenly comes" "to my table - you know who?" "Hitler." "And he asks me," ""Can I borrow your paper, Mr Spiegel?"" "And I reply, "Anybody could"," ""but not you,"" ""Mr Hitler."" "Well, you... be very brave in a dream." "Ignatz Marmulstaub, in the meantime you will deputise for the Chairman of the Town Council." "You'll be invested with all the necessary powers." "If the gentlemen in the Council have no objections..." "But Mr Marmulstaub," "we are not in Parliament here!" "I only took the liberty of remarking," "Herr General, that I do not decide alone." "Herr Löwenbach has also indicated to me that there are gas chambers where the transports go." "Reports of gas chambers are being spread by the Communists!" "If such reports are spread, I shall personally take measures." "That sounds better." "Sit down." "Well, sit down, Marmulstaubchen." "Thank you, Herr General." "We are old acquaintances, are we not?" "Now, where did we see each other last?" "It was..." "Ah yes, in Vienna, in 1939." "Vienna..." "Funny, the places where one meets, right?" "Yes, Herr General." "Just a little formality." "You know the Führer's instructions:" "The transport lists must be signed by the Chairman of the Town Council." "Do you still wish to have a word with Löwenbach?" "And the fountain pen." "Draw up a list of men and women." "2,000 each." "We give you the power to make your own selection." "Those indispensable for municipal services will not be included." "You may go, Marmulstaubchen." "That's all right." "Good afternoon, Miss Lisselotta." "Good afternoon." "It's a nice day, today, isn't it?" "We must try and enjoy the nice things as best we..." "Life's too short to enjoy all the nice things." "Perhaps it's better to keep out of sight." "Nobody knows what may happen." "What could happen?" "Everything has already happened." "Can I be of any assistance to you?" "No, thank you." "These are only women's worries." "I really don't know what I should take with me." "Well you see, if you were with me, you wouldn't need to worry about such things." "In my position today..." "Not everyone ...be on the transport,... they?" "Some people must always be left behind, mustn't they?" "Lieselottchen..." "Thank you." "I must go now." "A transport is leaving!" "Monsieur Marmulstaub, a moment, please." " We're waiting for something." " What?" "I heard there's a transport about to leave." " No, no." " Is it official?" "I really don't know." "I hear Mr Löwenbach isn't back from HQ." "He wouldn't sign something." "Did he say anything before going to HQ?" " They say he's in the Bunker." " Are you interrogating me?" "They say it's only a working transport." "I don't know." "If I did, I'd say so." "I really don't know." " Women are going too, they say." " I know nothing." "Leave me alone." "I've told you already, I know nothing about it." "Toady!" "The rat!" "Herr Obersturmführer!" "Herr Obersturmführer!" "Turn left!" "Herr Obersturmführer!" "Where have you come from, Jew?" "You've been smoking?" "Empty your pockets!" "Breathe on me!" "Drive on, Binde." "This is it." "Block H4." "Block elder Raul Israel Bernstein," " Block stand..." " Silence!" "We'll start with the second storey, Warner." "Right, men." "We'll start with the second storey." "Stop!" "Cut him off!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Binde, where are you?" "Here, Herr Obersturmführer!" "Binde!" "Here, Herr Obersturmführer!" "Up you go!" "Search every room!" "Yes, Herr Obersturmführer!" "Binde, this door here." "This is where they were running from." " Blockältester." " Block elder Raul Israel Bernstein..." " How many doors are there here?" " Only this one..." "Open up." "Lock it!" " And search the place!" " Yes, Herr Obersturmführer!" " Binde!" " Here, Herr Obersturmführer!" " Binde!" " Yes, Herr Obersturmführer!" "Found anything?" "No, Herr Obersturmführer!" "Binde!" "Here!" "Over here!" "This way." "I've got it, Binde!" "A printing press." "Jewish pigs!" "I... read you a bit, Binde..." ""Stimulates sickness..." "works slowly..."" ""or... the Soviet Army is approaching Auschwitz..."" "There must be a wireless receiver here somewhere." " Binde, search the place!" " Elisabeth Sara Feiner..." "Shut up!" "Jewish pig..." "You old Jewish whore, who's been working here?" "Who prints the pamphlets?" "Names!" "Where's the dead man?" "Would you recognise him again, Binde?" "I think so, Herr Obersturmführer." " We must find him again." " Stop!" "A lost soul!" "Take the Jewish pig to the Bunker." "Beat it out of her - everything she knows." "And don't be gentle." "Leave the motorbike here." "Dismissed!" "Yes, Herr Obersturmführer!" "Get moving!" "Blockältester." "Block leader Paul Israel Bernstein..." "Shut up!" "Is the roll-call in order?" " Yes, Herr Offizier!" " Checked." "Dismissed." "Don't hurry!" "I don't want them to torture me." "I'm an old woman." "Didn't you have a mother once?" "Don't take me any further." "Shoot me now." "My dear Holier, I'm aware that it's no trifling matter to administer Theresienstadt." "But here, order must be kept." "Without discipline war cannot be waged." "We learned that at school already." "On my desk in Berlin is a third letter from the Auschwitz Camp Commander." "Among the transports sent by you, 21 people are missing." "I shall do all in my power, Herr General." "I knew your father." "Yes, he had real Prussian blood in his veins." "Your father, Holier." "That was Germany." "If you weren't his son, I would hardly act so considerately." "But this I insist on:" "The transport numbers must tally." "Yes, Herr General." "Tomorrow carry out a general roll-call." "There are enough spaces here." "Tomorrow morning the whole ghetto will assemble." "Mr Silan, go to Room No. 38, in the Hamburg Garrison, where Fräulein Lieselotte Grab lives." "Tell her that I, the Chairman of the Town Council, wish for her to come and see me." "Certainly, Herr Marmulstaub." "Dany!" " What is it?" " Get hold of Kůzle!" "What is it?" "Date"!" "Come on out of there!" "Look, come here." "You'll go to the Hamburg Garrison and tell Lizinka to come to us this evening." "Understand?" " What for?" " That's not your business." "100...1,000..." "2,000... 5,000..." "Hamburg Garrison... 3,000... 500... 3,500" "Dresden Garrison - old women - 4,000... 5..." "Jäger Garrison..." "1,800..." "Jäger Garrison..." "Hamburg Garrison..." "Jäger Garrison..." "Dresden Garrison..." "Dresden Garrison, Block H4..." "Hannover Garrison... 2,800... 5,025..." "Werner, how could you shoot the Feiner woman, attempting to escape, and, moreover, in the ghetto." "Well, we're all crazy here." "Then this roll-call tomorrow, that means today we need the total for Bausovice Meadow... 5... 11... 18... 23... 23... 26... 29... 2... 2... 5 and 9 is 14... and 8 is 22... 2..." "3... 23... 5... 13...15 and 4 is 19 and 6 is 26 25 yes, 25... 25..." "and 7... is 32... 3... 3... 5... 9..." "11... 18... 26 31... 37..." "What did she say, Mr Silan?" "She said that she is not what you take her for - that she must get up early tomorrow morning for the roll-call on the Bausovice Meadow." "Will there really be selection, Herr Marmulstaub?" "Yes, yes, my friend, but it will not affect you, even if you have to be there." "Feed the cat..." "and go to bed, will you?" "The cat's gone, Mr Chairman of the Town Council." "She's probably looking for a mate..." "Goodnight." "Grünberg..." "Grünberg..." "Grünberg..." "Grunwald... no..." "Grünberg..." "Grosser..." "Gratz..." "Gottlieb..." "Grab Lieselotte!" "Hello, Anne!" "Hello, Liza!" "Hello, Štěpán!" "Hello, Liza!" " Where are you off to, Vágus?" " Where do you think I'm going?" "Oh, yes, I suppose you haven't heard that the celebrated mathematician, Robert Pick," "lives in this town." "As it happens, his wife has asked me to supper." "And do you like Mrs Pick, Vágus?" "Are you crazy?" "How... you...?" "It's sure to be just for work." " You can't go with the transport." " I'll leave the fur gloves with you." "When this is all over, they'll come in handy again." "Who knows how difficult it may be to get things after the war." "Maybe they won't have the wagons and you won't go." "It's only for work." "You don't need to worry about me." "I've never been so afraid." "Dad and Mum didn't even go, nor the girls from our room." "After the war we'll have everything." "A flat and the curtains you told me about, everything right." "And in the corner there'll be a little white bed." " And we will both sing to our baby." " Yes." " Anne, no matter what happens..." " No." " Believe me." " Hold me tight!" "Hello, boys!" "We asked you to come, Liza, because the transport's leaving tomorrow and we're going with it... and perhaps we'll never..." "We're all very fond of you." "I wanted to play something for you... and..." "We caught a cat, you know." "So we thought a nice little Schnitzel..." "Hello, Liza!" "Yes, boys, and Mr Marmulstaub invited me, too." "Where are the others?" "They've gone to a concert." "Play something, Dany." "How many of you will there be?" "Zrzek!" "Lock the door!" "Dany!" "Mylord!" "Kůzle!" "Kůzle, don't do anything stupid." "The cat was called Liza, you know." "Date"!" "Date"!" " Štěpán, you'll never come back." " I'll come back." "They've all gone now." "Father, mother, sisters, everybody." "First they stole everything from us." "You can't go." "They'll kill you." "They've killed all of them." "I know." "Darling!" "Don't cry!" "Anne." "Now don't be silly." "Open your eyes." "Štěpán, I've nothing left in the world." "No father, no mother, no sister." "And they'll take you from me too." "We'll all meet again." "And then I'll give you the fur gloves." " Štěpán!" " Anne!" "Look, give me your papers, Štěpán!" "Don't gape!" "We'll swap papers." "Whoever has these papers won't be put on the transport." "Mrs Pick will see to that." "Understand?" "I'll go with the boys tomorrow." "Bye!" "Štěpán!" "Mrs Pick!" "You're here at last." "Oh dear, Oberschreiber Dvorzak." "Darling!" "You're here at last?" "Kůzle!" "Kůzle!" " Who are you writing to?" " Home." "You still have someone at home?" "You're half and half?" "Can I read it to you, Liza?" ""Parents, we're going somewhere, but don't worry." "I'm grown up." ""Everybody's kind to me." "They call me 'kid'."" ""I don't know where we're going." "It doesn't matter..."" "That's 27 words." "I... write three more." "Then write "Dear Parents" and sign it." "Go on!" "Write!" "Thank you, Liza." "Herr Obersturmführer, the total population in the ghetto, before assembly on the Bausovice Meadow: 62,353 Jewish pigs." "Of these, 59,984 have passed out of the ghetto." "Remaining in the ghetto are 192 who are insane, 2,156 who are seriously ill " "21 Jewish pigs snuffed it on the march through the streets." "Reporting is Unterscharführer Mahler." "Strangely enough the figures are correct." "Open the gate!" "The gate!" "And now a thorough search of the pigsty, understand?" "Drive on!" "Our dead man's still alive, Binde!" "First, I'll have the transport roll-call, in case he gives us the slip, and then the counting will be carried out." "Go on." "Quicker, quicker, quicker." "Attention!" "Attention!" "Attention!" "Carry on!" "Carry on!" "Carry on!" "I know you, don't I?" " Yes, yesterday in Block H4." " Who's missing here?" "Mrs Feiner." "I'm keeping a place for her." "She's sure to come, Herr Offizier." " Our dead man, Binde?" " Nowhere to be found." "Attention!" "Attention!" "Attention!" "Here!" "Deputy Chairman of the Town Council David Israel Löwenbach reporting today: 59,984 Jewish pigs." "Herr Obersturmbannführer will allow me to present today's transport?" " Certainly, Herr Obersturmführer." " Thank you." "Present today's transport first, Marmulstaub." "Yes, Herr Offizier!" "Present the transport!" "Quick!" "André, Luis." " Keep going." " Appenheim, Rosa..." "Only the men." "Ahrenheim, Gustav..." "Ascher, Leo..." "Ascher, Georg..." "Bada, Štěpán..." "Vágus!"

"Fiala, Vlastimil!" "Fiala, Vlastimil!" "Faster, faster!" "Up with you, UP..." "Get a move on, quicker, quicker." "There you go." "Go on!" "Who could this be?" "I'll deal with you personally, my lad." "Come on then." "Are you coming?" "Stop the transport muster!" "Start the counting again!" "Like sheep, like sheep." "Never again, like sheep." "Like sheep, never again." "Like sheep, like sheep..." " Jewish pig..." " You're in charge here?" "Yes, Herr Offizier!" "To the wall!" "Turn round!" "Turn around!" "Do any of you know anything about this?" "Never seen this before, right?" "Empty your pockets!" "On the double!" "Go on, get a move on!" "Stick your hands higher up." "Where did you get this from?" "Who gave it to you?" "Who printed it?" "Swine, kill the lot!" "Kill the lot!" "Swine!" "Kleine Festung for both." "Special Treatment." "Get out!" "Halt!" "Who wrote that?" "The Russians." "Search the whole place!" "Report to my office with the results in an hour's time at the latest!" "Open the door." "Löwenbach, the game's up." "We've found the printing press." "We know who your messenger is." "We've got the whole gang." "The transport is leaving in a few hours and you'll be on it." "You know what awaits you." "Yes, I know." "Gas chambers, crematoria..." "I know." "However, I also know that you shall lose the War." "The whole world is... against you, Herr Offizier." "You're not afraid of us at all, Löwenbach?" "We lost one war and yet again we are the masters of world history." "We've learnt how to put the fear of death into people..." "The history of the world teaches us that tyrants always go under." "Beware of history." "Take him away." "To the transport." "Go on, move." "The day after tomorrow, the whole thing starts all over again." "If I were you, Herr General, I wouldn't bother with these people." "They're notables that Marmulstaub has included in the transport." "But my dear Obersturmbannführer, you've been here a few years." "I'm only here for a single day." "I'm interested in the people." "They've asked for a hearing and they shall have it." " Jewish pig Georg Israel Gradnauer..." " Prior to '33?" "Minister of the Reich and Prime Minister of Saxony..." "Colossal!" "Jewish pig Leon Israel Meyer..." "What did you do formerly?" "French Minister for Commerce and Maritime Affairs." "Minister - and can't even speak!" " Jewish pig Georg von Rosenthal..." " Prior to '33?" "Major General." "What are you doing here in Theresienstadt?" "Picking out horse hair from saddles in the German Military School, Herr General." "I order him to be taken out of the transport." "Have the numbers taken to the transport." "Yes, Herr Obersturmbannführer." "Herr Obersturmführer, No. 41 withdrawn from the transport on the orders of General Knecht." "Come on to Daddy's heart." "Come, come!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Stop!" "Off you go." "Never again like sheep, never again like sheep." "Away with that." "Keep going!" "Keep going!" " Keep going!" "Keep going!" " 1,991 to 2,000!" "Old man, we're leaving." "I already told you, gentlemen..." "Herr Obersturmbannführer, Transport GH for Birkenau ready to leave." "Thank you." "Thank you, Obersturmbannführer." "I was very satisfied with my visit, Herr Obersturmbannführer." "Within three weeks you may expect a visit from the Danish Red Cross." "Now at last we shall be able to grant their request." "A pity I shall not be able to greet the Commission personally," " but I'm sure you'll manage fine." " Certainly..." "Herr Obersturmbannführer..." "Obersturmführer..." "Sturmführer Obersturmführer." "It has to be possible." "It was my pleasure, you know." "The pleasure was all mine." "Karl, bring ten bottles of Champagne, sandwiches and salad to the office."
