Memories of Anne Frank Page #3

---

I answered. The Jews are bad

because they are Jews.

Did you ever meet a bad German?

- That has nothing to do with it.

- Can you explain...

..the meaning of moral law?

What do the words "Love your brother

as yourself" mean?

What does "Do not do unto others..."

"..what you would not want

done to you" mean?

Well?

What does it mean?

- Go away!

- I'm sorry to have to tell you.

You are not ready

for your exam yet.

I imagine you are wondering

why I struck you.

Because we both know...

..that I shouldn't have.

You know why?

Inside our soul we all know

what is right...

..and what is wrong.

It's as if we all had

a compass inside.

A secret compass

that indicates the same direction.

That is the moral law

the philosophers talk about.

It is the reason you don't want

to do to others...

..what you would not

be done to you.

We also know, that if you want,

you can kill me.

Many of us do not

follow moral laws...

..such as me, when I hit you.

- Mr. barracks boss.

- Buch!

- Come!

- Yes, sir.

Anna.

- Thanks, Mom.

- Don't thank me.

Forgive me.

Can you forgive me?

I said horrible things.

Anna, I am your mother

and you are my little girl.

There will be the last selection

today. Himmler's orders.

The Russians are near.

We must destroy the installations...

..and eliminate the evidence.

Buch, are your satisfied

with your assignment?

- Yes, excellency.

- Did you ever waver? - No.

Our human material

is disappointing us.

Even that of the chosen SS corps.

- I will do my duty. - I am pleased.

- Thanks, excellency.

It is difficult to hold back pity.

Reichsfuhrer Himmler said that too.

To kill women and children

in cold blood...

..and remain sane people...

..you need courage,

moral strength and mental lucidity.

We can begin with the procedure.

Today's is the latest.

You.

You.

I won't get past the selection

today. I know.

You must be self confident.

You'll make it, Peter.

- I have a high fever.

- Be quiet.

- I'll end up in the cremating oven.

- Be quiet.

Commander.

- What do you want? - I want to

submit my case to your attention.

- I'm listening.

- I cannot work any longer.

It's not right that I continue being

a burden to the administration.

Alright. For us,

one piece is like any other.

- Did you think over what I said?

- You deceived me.

You are young and have time

to find your answer.

- Then I'll pass your test. - You

didn't tell me everything. - Sure?

- That's how you'll end up.

- Like my children, I know.

Does your conscience tell you

to do that?

Think about it.

If you want to pass the exam,

this is the most important question.

How many times must I tell you

it is forbidden to write?

Why?

- You must leave.

- Where is my mother?

- Go on!

- Where is my mother? - Anna!

- Where is my mother?

- I don't know.

My father and mother are here.

Don't take me away.

Think your father is still alive?

You!

- Can you run?

- Sure.

Come with me.

Anne, look! It's Peter!

Stop!

Dear God, please save Peter.

Take this to the Commandant, run.

- Anne!

- Mum!

- Margot! Anne!

- Mum!

- Anna! Where are they

taking you? - I don't know.

Special Prisoner's Infirmary

The Lord begins to create

the heavens and he earth.

However our beautiful earth was

deserted, completely empty.

Dark shadows covered

the immense oceans...

..and an impetuous wind

blew everywhere.

- It blew over the earth and

the oceans. - What did he do then?

The Lord fashioned man

from a handful of earth.

Then he blew a breath

of life-giving air over it.

-In this way God gave man the

great gift of life. -That was Adam?

Yes.

Yes.

Here's my gift.

This is mine.

If mum were here,

she'd make chocolate cake.

- What's a cake? - A round thing,

sweet and very good.

- What does "sweet" mean?

- It's a taste.

If you could touch it,

it would feel smooth and soft.

- What's chocolate? - Something

good. - Darling, close your eyes.

Here's a surprise.

Like it, darling?

Blow out the candle.

- Thanks dad.

- Best wishes.

Bergen-Belsen Prison Camp

Look, there are no

chimneys in this camp.

I know that here they swap

special Jewish prisoners...

..for German prisoners.

-What are those tents there?

-Many Hungarians and Dutch arrived.

- Dutch?

- Yes.

Is there anyone

from Amsterdam among you?

I'm Hanneli Goslar,

from South Amsterdam.

- What's your name?

- Hanneli Goslar, from Amsterdam.

- Hanneli Goslar?

- Yes.

- Hanneli, is that really you?

- Yes.

- Hanneli! I'm Peter's mum.

I remember,

we met at the Frank's house...

..before Anne left

for Switzerland. - No.

- Anne is here.

- Anne is here?

Yes, I'll go call her.

Anne is here!

Anne is here.

Hanneli.

Where are you?

Hanneli, is that really you?

Are you Hanneli Goslar?

Yes, Anne. Why are you here? Did

the Germans invade Switzerland?

No. We hid at dad's company

in Amsterdam.

- Are the others here too?

- Margot is here, she's very ill.

Where are your parents?

- My father is dead. - I want

to come closer, where are you?

- I want to see you, Anne.

- I'm close to the seventh light.

Anne, I must see you!

Anne, what are you doing?

Come back here.

- Hanneli.

- I'm here.

- Careful.

- I want to see her.

- I want to see Hanneli.

- Please, come back here.

Come back here!

- Anne!

- Hanneli, where are you?

They cut my hair off.

They don't give us anything to eat.

I'll never grow up.

We'll grow up together.

As soon as I can,

I'll bring you something to eat.

Soon we'll be at school again and

your hair will have grown back.

Anne, come away!

- I'll come back, I promise.

- I'll wait for you.

Come on. Dad, I spoke to Anne.

Where is he?

Your father is dead,

go back to your huts.

- Quickly!

- Burn those papers!

The Russians are bombing us!

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

- Follow me!

- We've finished. - Quickly!

We're ready, Commandant.

- Do it.

- Blow everything up!

The Germans are leaving!

The Germans are leaving!

Silence! Be silent!

Stop it! Shut up!

Shut up.

- Get rid of all the evidence,

understand? All of it! - Yes sir.

Do you really think

they'd let us go like that?

They destroyed the crematorium

to get rid of the evidence.

- They don't want the Russians to

find it. - What does it matter?

They won't

make the selections any more.

They have other evidence

to get rid of.

Don't you understand?

What evidence?

- What evidence, Otto?

- What evidence?

- Take my shoes.

- What about you? - I'll stay here.

- I've got fever. - If you stay...

- I'd die on the march anyway.

- You can do it, I'll help you.

- Listen.

If Edith, Anne and Margot

are still here, I can't go.

If they take them away, it's best

if you go with them. Be quick.

If you find them before me,

tell Anne I'll keep my promise.

I'll marry her.

Goodbye, father.

Good luck, my son.

All those still here,

come out for roll-call!

Move it!

Quickly, everyone out!

You too.

You know you did something

you shouldn't have.

But you don't want to listen
