will remain buried.

There is no appropriate punishment

for what happened here.

This is not to punish.

It's about the victims,

their stories.

What do we do now?

Simon wrote it down.

What brings you back?

The only answer to Auschwitz

is doing the right thing.

Good morning.

You're back?

I am sorry.

Get over it.

No one is perfect.

Except me.

Thanks. Goodbye.

Hello. What do you want?

I have to make some repairs.

He is to me.

What do you want?

Can I fix this?

That's completely destroyed.

I know.

But it means a lot for me.

No, the tear is too large.

You can't fix it.

I don't care what it costs.

Buy yourself a new one.

And treat it better.

I guess I'll have to accept it.

Yes, you have to accept it.

What a good life.

Friends, cake, and champagne.

What else can you ask for?

My mother didn't make the cake

just for you.

Let the boy eat,

he is still growing.

To the day of trial,

To the prosecutor's office of Frankfurt.

And to you, Johann.

L'chaim.

To life.

L'chaim.

To life.

And that's it.

Johann.

I brought the jacket.

I thought the tear is irreparable.

Not quite.

The trial begins tomorrow.

I know. Good luck.

You will testify on Friday.

Are you ready?

Rookie,

I've been ready for 20 years.

I'm going to enter.

Gentlemen,

today we are making history.

I'm proud of you.

The meeting and negotiation of the

presiding judge at the Regional Court

in Frankfurt am Main is opened.

The Auschwitz trial began in 1963.

211 survivors of the camp have given their testimony.

In the biggest trial in the German history

were tried 19 SS members who served in Auschwitz.

17 have been convicted.

During the 20 months of the trial,

they showed no remorse or insight.

Fritz Bauer died in 1968 of heart failure.

Josef Mengele lived undisturbed in Brazil until 1979.

He died in a swimming accident.

This trial was a turning point in German history.

The crimes of the Nazi era could no longer be denied.

Dedicated to the attorney general Fritz Bauer,

the prosecutors Joachim Kugler, Georg Friedrich Vogel, Gerhard Wiese

and the journalist Thomas Gnielka.
