What is 88 - 13?"
His father beat him,
shut him in the cellar,
yelled death threats
through the door.
One day in the bathroom,
The child wondered what the bodies
were doing face down on the ground.
"Daddy, there were
women and children
lying by the cemetery.
What were the bodies doing there?
What were the 13 children doing?
Daddy, what were the bodies doing?
The 88 women on the ground?
The 88 bodies, the 88 children?
Were the children dead?"
I can feel it.
It's going to fall.
I can feel it's going to snow.
It will be beautiful.
Hello, sir.
Do you have a cigarette?
Come with me, please.
Come with me.
I'm happy you came.
I couldn't ask Lucy.
Here.
Apart from you, I don't know who....
It's pure lies.
You'll see how spiteful men can be.
-Should I read them?
-Do what you like.
It's worthless.
A disgusting, repugnant past.
Lies.
My father wasn't in Berlin
at the time.
He wasn't a technician.
He was just a shopkeeper
in Hamburg.
He was forced to enlist
in a Polish battalion
in the east of the country.
I have nothing to do with this.
The envelope contained three letters.
Jst had kept them on him.
They were anonymous,
posted in Le Mans.
The first, sent a year ago,
well-known to Shoah historians.
Enclosed was a facsimile
of a memo written by an engineer,
dated June 5th, 1942,
stamped, "Secret: Affairs of State".
"Since December 1941,
in exemplary fashion
using three vans,
without any sign of defect.
The explosion in Kulmhof
should be seen as an isolated case
caused by an operational error.
Special instructions
have been addressed
to the services concerned
to avoid such incidents.
One:
To facilitate rapid distribution
of carbon monoxide,
without pressure build-up,
two 10-centimeter vents will be made
at the top of the rear wall.
These vents will be fitted
with adjustable metal valves.
Two:
The normal load capacity
is from 9 to 10 pieces
per meter squared.
But the large Saurer vans cannot be
used for that many.
The problem is not
one of overloading,
but the effect of maximum loading
on the vehicle's maneuverability.
It therefore seems necessary
by one meter.
Reducing the number of pieces
as we've been doing
is not the answer
because the empty space must also
be filled with carbon monoxide.
The manufacturer pointed out
that making the van shorter
at the rear
would cause the cargo
to shift towards the front,
In fact,
there is a natural compensation
in the distribution of the load.
There is a natural compensation
in the distribution of the load
caused by the fact
that during the operation,
the load tends to force
its way towards the rear doors
and ends up lying in this area.
Consequently, the front axle
is not overloaded.
Three:
The pipe that connects
the exhaust to the van
tends to rust because
it is eaten away from the inside
by liquids that flow into it.
Pointing the nozzle downward
prevents this from happening.
Four:
To facilitate cleaning,
a watertight drain
will be installed in the floor.
The cover of the 20 to 30
centimeter opening
will be fitted with an elbow siphon
to allow for the drainage
of thin liquids during the operation.
Thicker dirt will be disposed of
through the large drainage hole
during cleaning.
To enable this,
the floor can be tipped slightly.
Five:
The observation windows can be
eliminated as they're rarely used.
This will save a great deal of money.
Six:
Grills should cover
the lamps high enough
to make it impossible
to break the bulbs.
Experience shows
they can be done away with.
However, when the back door
is closed and it gets dark inside,
the load pushes hard
against the door.
This is because
the merchandise rushes
towards what little light remains
as it gets dark.
This hampers the locking of the door.
It has been noticed that the fear
aroused by the darkness,
provokes screaming
when the doors are locked.
It seems expedient
to keep the lights on
before and during
the start of the operation.
Lighting is also useful
for night work
and for cleaning the van."
You can't sleep here.
I'm not asleep.
You must have fainted then.
-Really?
-Come on.
Thank you.
Come and drink something.
No, I'm fine.
-I should call a doctor.
-No, thank you.
-Where do you live?
-Nearby.
The memo had been submitted
for examination and decision
to SS-Obersturmbannfhrer Rauff.
It had been signed:
"By order of Jst. "
Feeling better?
What did you mean
by "black as a prison."
Why did you say that?
You frightened me.
We kissed.
We wanted each other.
We were going upstairs....
And then you remembered your mail.
You went to get it.
When you came back,
you had changed.
You were a different man. Cold.
You really hurt my wrists.
It was the other guy that did it.
He must have been hiding
in the hallway.
He appeared out of nowhere.
Louisa, I....
Let's go back to before the mail.
I touched your breast.
With my other hand, remember,
I was stroking your back.
I felt you against me,
pressing against my stomach.
I took you in my hand.
When I was a child,
I'd close my eyes and see the sun
through my eyelids.
It was red, frightening,
like an explosion.
I could no longer feel Louisa's body.
I clung onto her flesh.
I could no longer see her eyes.
A face without a mouth.
A sort of body without arms or legs.
The second letter Jst had given me
was composed of pieces
from the 1942 report,
pulled apart, broken up,
deconstructed.
The words were scattered
over a sheet of music.
I didn't know it but I held the proof
of the sender's identity.
What's the good news,
Mr. Corporate Shrink?
Hello, Mr. Paolini.
Whisky, wine, pastis.
Whisky.
It's not my office, but it's better
than in that busy cafeteria.
Have you ever played this piece?
It's short.
It must be the Franck,
the second movement.
We had a go at it.
Why are you so obsessed
by the Farb Quartet?
As I told you,
I'm forming a little orchestra.
If I organized a concert this summer,
would you take part?
What an appalling idea!
Here? No!
I've always hated company parties.
They make me think of mass burials.
I thought the young executives
could meet the old boys.
They were all really fond
of the quartet.
Which old boys?
The few that are left
have forgotten it
or have gone deaf by now.
You're lying.
No one would have talked about us.
Yes, Lynn Sanderson did.
She was madly in love!
She couldn't hear a thing.
We only had one real musician,
Arie Neumann.
He was great.
He came from marketing.
He was laid off
during the restructuring program.
He was an amazing guy.
-No.
The quartet broke up when
he stopped coming to rehearsals.
Did you stay in touch?
No, I don't know
what happened to him.
Why aren't you answering?
