Labyrinth of Lies Page #3
A summer camp by the lake?
Mr. Bauer, who is this rookie
that brought me here?
Can we talk a moment?
Do you want a coffee?
Schmittchen, coffee, please.
We'll be back right away.
The list is not enough.
What do you suggest?
I will ask Bichinsky what he saw.
Concrete actions.
That means that all SS men
from Auschwitz are suspected.
-All of them.
-Yes, that's clear to me.
I want to know what happened there.
Mr. Radmann...
This is a labyrinth.
Do not lose yourself.
Sr. Bichinsky, tell me everything
you have experienced.
Where to start?
At the beginning.
What did he do?
Hans Brandner struck the witness
with a whip until fainting.
The witness has lost an eye.
Why did Brandner hit?
Because he dared to look at him.
-We arrest him now.
- What? No.
- Why not?
-We don't have charges.
-But...
-It is not a murder.
Everything else has prescribed.
What are we doing here?
I have to see him.
I have to see what kind
of man he is.
-Thank you.
-You are as beautiful as your mother.
How kind, Mr. Brandner.
I see.
Wait.
- Mr. Brandner?
- Yes?
I think we know each other.
I do not remember.
Of course we do.
I never forget a face.
I don't know.
You are not from around here, right?
Try one.
You will not find better.
Sorry, I have to make a delivery.
Come.
My robe, Schmittchen, fast!
Stay sitted.
How do you imagine that?
You want to bring people from Poland,
Israel, and God knows where else.
We even do not have diplomatic relations
with these countries.
And for what?
To prove that someone did something
in Poland during the war.
These people witnessed
thousands of murders.
What murders? Be realistic.
What is the purpose?
We had no choice.
Those who refused, died.
In addition, all of this
in Nrnberg after the war.
150 men were sentenced in Nrnberg.
By the allies, not by
Germans. It's not finished yet.
I'm sorry, attorney,
You need to be in court.
This is unprecedented.
A country that condemns its own soldiers
for their actions during the war.
You're not going anywhere.
Do you know one thing?
I love this country.
Still.
In spite of everything.
It has suffered so much.
And you are only going to
open old wounds
that just starting to heal.
Did you know that Bauer is a jew?
He was in a camp in 1933.
Seems he's never got over.
- Carefull, Toni!
- Marlene!
Toni, I said carefull.
Nothing has happened.
Dad, this is Johann Radmann.
We went to the cinema and he brought me home.
Pleased to meet you.
-Come, I'll make you dinner.
-Thank you.
-Debt of honor.
-No, this...
Come again.
What do you need?
I am looking for
the camp of Auschwitz.
You are totally out of your mind.
Nobody wants that.
You do not and neither do we.
Leave things as they are.
man, Hitler has gone.
The Russians are the new enemy.
I need the files of the SS men
who served in Auschwitz.
All of them.
10 million nazis.
Incredible, isn't it?
These idiots
wrote down everything.
If you believe that you can
bring them to justice
It's like believing in Santa Claus.
I only am interested in Auschwitz.
You brought a truck with you?
Here, 600,000 SS files.
About 8,000 served in Auschwitz.
But you will have to dig
them out yourself.
Thanks.
It was a machine.
What?
Auschwitz.
It was a killing machine
of 8000 sharks
large, small,
bureaucratic, sadistic...
Two months ago I had 15 names,
now I have 8,000 SS men.
That is 8,000 suspects, Gnielka.
My lasts case was
for driving without a license.
Think of it like this: the more enemies,
the greater the honor.
What do we drink to?
Veritas.
It was the motto of my father.
To the truth.
8.000 Schulzes and Brandners.
And I need witnesses for all.
-Let us in.
- What do you want?
You have to testify.
- On what?
- You are a witness, Mr. Kirsch.
I need your statement.
-I don't want to talk about it.
-Simon, please.
You must testify.
You owe it to the victims.
What do I owe to whom?
What do you want?
Didn't you have enough?
What do you want?
Do you want to investigate Auschwitz?
Do you think that you're going
to change something?
You have no idea.
No idea.
Why?
My girls.
Ruth and Klara.
So small.
We arrived early morning,
we were hundreds, thousands.
We were hungry and cold.
It was very cold.
We were surrounded by
the SS with their dogs.
Everyone, go, go,
quick, quick, in a row.
Hannah went away on a truck.
Suddenly there was... this doctor.
He wore white gloves.
Looked like an angel.
He was very calm.
He knelt down to see Ruth and Klara.
He stroked Ruth's head,
smiled, and said:
"Your twins are cute.
I'll take them to my station."
And I thought he was a doctor,
that they would be safe.
Then the others told me
what Mengele does with twins.
He tortured them
with his experiments.
Injected viruses,
typhus, tuberculosis, diphtheria.
Cut them open without anesthesia.
removed organs.
inserted needles in the head.
He sewed the twins, young children,
back-to-back,
as if they were siamese.
And I gave them to him.
Why they are dead and I'm alive?
We will bring that doctor
to the justice.
I promise.
There was a doctor in the camp.
Dr. Josef Mengele.
You know the stories?
We need to get him,
Dr. Josef Mengele.
He is Auschwitz.
All those who participated,
who have not said no,
are Auschwitz.
How are you getting on?
Calmly and objectively,
Only say what you clearly remember.
Ms. Mandelbaum.
Come, please.
We go to revision.
-Do you agree, Haller.
-It will be a pleasure.
Mr. attorney general, I need help
for my investigation.
Give him Mr. Haller.
Attorney general, please.
I can not give Haller,
he already has a lot of work.
This case is of our
highest priority.
Please
Even the chancellor Adenauer
has made it clear
This unfortunate chapter must end.
A trial would be deadly.
On the contrary.
What is deadly is to shut up.
It would be deadly
for a young democracy.
In addition, the one who
decides here is me.
This is my case.
I design a strategy,
and you work with me.
and you put me up to date.
Quiet, don't bite.
I am in charge of the investigation
by the orders of the attorney general.
Yes, the child has grown.
- Who are the suspects?
- All of them.
What do you mean, all?
-All those who served there.
-That's ridiculous.
"Here, a child,
about five years old,
jumped off the truck.
he had an apple in his hand.
Boger was at the door.
The child stood there
happy with his apple.
Boger approached the child,
grabbed him by the feet
and slammed his head
against the wall.
Then Boger took the apple
and told me to clean up the wall.
And then Boger ate the apple."
That was every day life in Auschwitz.
Don't you find this ridiculous?
How many addresses do you have?
The authorities don't cooperate.
-Take the phone books.
- Excuse me?
I'm fed up. Bring all
telephone books in Germany.
We will find the addresses ourself.
Mengele was the worst of all.
Do you know why?
