Korczak Page #6

You are killing yourself.

You have to rest. You

can't live like this.

At night you write, during the

day you meet those scoundrels.

I beg you...

It is not good to be a Jew.

It's worse to be an old, ill Jew.

But the worst is to be an old ill Jew,

who has to provide for 200 children.

But nevermind.

I had a very successful day today.

Jews!

Listen to me!

Jews! Don't let the

Germans put you asleep!

Don't let them remove you!

I come from Lachwia!

I ran away from Lachwia...

I'll go to the girls.

...to tell you the truth.

They will put you to death!

They have furnaces...

In which they burn Jews...

Brothers!

Maybe we should let

the children go away.

A few of them have some relatives,

some will manage to go out...

There must be some chance.

Children have to be with the people.

If the people die, they have

no chance to survive, no future.

We have to think only about one thing:

to live through our defeat

in the most beautiful way.

Then maybe... We should

let the children go out.

No. We would expose them

to fear and pain this way.

No. Maybe we will manage to be fine.

Everyone promised you the

orphanages will be fine.

That's right.

Now go to sleep.

Goodnight.

Sleep well.

Goodnight.

I thought I wouldn't manage to

come. It's getting more difficult.

I brought the documents for you.

You have to hide yourself, can you hear me?

Maybe they really transport people to

the east. They work hard in the fields...

Jews are good for such a job. I saw it in Palestine.

Doctor, I beseech you!

You have to understand... The hiding place is prepared.

We will bribe the guard tomorrow.

Jerzy will come for you at 9.

I hoped we won't talk about it

anymore. I asked Jerzy not to.

How can you propose me such a thing?

What would you think about a

mother who abandons her child?

How could I abandon 200

children in time of misery?

How is this possible that you,

such a close person to me...

are not able to understand it.

If only some support could come.

The removals will start. They did that in other cities.

Czerniakow assured me they will leave us alone.

Kohn and Gancwajch gave me their word yesterday.

I wonder what would he do if I nodded to him,

or wave my hand in a friendly manner.

My bald patch is an easy target.

He has a rifle so why

is he standing like that?

He has no order.

Thank you, Father, for the

magical mystery of Your tale.

I am happy. I don't call you either

just or good. I just say: my God.

I say:
my, I say: trust.

All Jews out!

Out!

What's the matter?

Fine, gentlemen. We will be ready in 15 minutes.

Mrs. Stefa, in 15 minutes.

Children, we are going on a trip.

We put our best clothes

on and pack our bags.

We have little time, so we

take only things we really need.

Doctor, it's a very good Swiss

passport. I've arranged everything.

You will come with us in the first transport.

Izaak, go downstairs and ask them to take

the dogs out and not urge on the children.

Children will go by themselves, in pairs.

- Doctor, this is...

- Do what I ask you to.

What happened?

They started to evict orphanages.

What about Dr. Korczak?

Do you know anything about the Orphanage?

Get in! Hurry up!

They couldn't take the doctor!

- Mrs. Maryna?

- Yes.

It's Jzek. I'm calling from Ghetto.

- They have just evicted the Orphanage.

- How's that possible?

I don't know. They took all of them.

Doctor, Mrs. Stefa, all the children.

They are walking with a green banner.

Other orphanages walk after them.

Hello, Mrs. Maryna?

They are all going to Umschlagplatz.

We have to do something.

Jozek!

I can't talk right now. I'll call you later.

Hello!

Mrs. Maryna, they are still alive.

Call Czerniakow, he knows the truth.

I have a letter for Dr. Korczak.

- Doktor Korczak wird gesucht!

- Doctor!

Doctor!

I have...

I have an American passport!

In September 1942, doctor Korczak together with

his children died in gas chambers in Treblinka.
