Au Revoir les Enfants Page #5

and line up in the yard.

Was Bonnet a Jew?

Keep calm, children.

Quiet down

and listen to me, children.

They've arrested Father Jean.

It seems we've been denounced.

What about Bonnet?

Bonnet, Dupre and Lafarge

are Jewish.

Father Jean took them in

because their lives were in danger.

Go to the dormitory

and pack quickly and calmly.

But first we'll say a prayer

for Father Jean and your friends.

Our Father, who art in heaven...

Negus got away.

They didn't get Negus.

They're looking for him and Moreau.

Father Jean had resistance leaflets.

When you're ready,

go to the dining hall.

Quentin, pack Laviron's bag

and take it to the infirmary. Hurry!

Want some help?

Don't worry.

They'd have gotten me anyway.

Negus got away.

I know.

Take these.

I've read them all.

You want The Arabian Nights?

- What are you doing here?

- I brought his bag.

Are you gonna get up?

What do you want now?

We can't stay here.

They're searching the attic.

Sister, put a compress on him!

Hurry!

You'll get us all arrested!

There's a Jew here.

I'm sure of it.

We haven't seen anyone.

You, come here.

Pull down your pants. Quick!

What happened?

- Its her.

- Get out!

I'm going over the roof.

Good-bye, Julien.

He's a friend.

What are you doing with them?

Here.

Aren't you happy?

You'll get a vacation.

You don't smoke?

Don't worry about it.

They're just Jews.

You really liked Bonnet?

Don't act so pious!

You guys are to blame!

I got fired

for doing business with you.

Mrs. Perrin stole more than I did.

Stop acting so pious!

There's a war going on, kid.

Are there any other Jews among you?

Answer me!

What about you?

Sure you're not Jewish?

Your name?

Pierre de la Rozire.

Go stand against the wall.

You think they'll arrest us?

We didn't do anything.

We were in the chapel.

We came for confession.

That soldier did his duty.

His orders were

to let no one leave.

The strength of the German soldier

is his discipline.

Thats what you French lack:

Discipline.

We're not your enemies.

You must help us rid France

of foreigners and Jews.

Good-bye, Father.

Good-bye, children.

See you soon.

Bonnet, Negus and Dupre

died at Auschwitz.

Father Jean

died in the camp at Mauthausen.

The school reopened its doors

in October of 1944.

More than 40 years have passed,

but I'll remember every second of that

January morning until the day I die.
