- Goodnight, Tati.

Mum?

Yes?

I have an idea.

What's your idea?

We should get married.

What do we do with Dad?

We'll invite him.

Goodnight, darling.

You can finish tomorrow.

You'll teach me

to speak French good?

Right now?

No, I'm having lots of work to do.

I have.

I have lots of work to do.

Make fun of me.

Goodnight, darling.

What does that mean?

My little Yiddish noggin,

I think you'd say.

You're my little Yiddish noggin.

Goodnight, Mum.

To all Divisional Chiefs,

you will arrive

at the first address at 4 AM.

All listed Jews

must leave their homes immediately.

You will proceed swiftly

without needless chatter.

The ethics of the operation

are not to be debated.

to the primary detention centre,

whatever their state of health

or age.

Gas and electricity meters

Pets will be given to the concierge,

with tenants' keys.

Arrestees must be in possession

of identity cards.

Each detainee is allowed one pair

a bowl, a cup, blankets...

Razors are permitted.

Moreover, detainees must take

two days' food per person.

You will send childless couples

and bachelors to Drancy camp.

All the others

Kitty! Kitty!

They're here! They're coming!

They're coming! Wake up!

I'll report you!

There are only poor folk here.

They haven't done anything!

Stay out of this! Back inside!

Go!

That's an order!

The children too?

- Mum!

- The children!

Stop! Don't hurt her!

They're taking the children too!

The children!

- Quiet!

- Run!

Stop!

They're taking the children!

Open up, now!

Run!

It's the Zyglers.

Don't hurt her!

Stop hurting her!

- Vladimir, please take the children.

- You too, Ida.

I can't leave my husband.

Children, don't make a noise.

I'll see you soon.

Where are you going?

Taking my brother to his nanny's.

- Name?

- Louise Timonier.

We just moved in.

What are you doing?

Let's go!

What are you doing here?

I told you to keep out.

They're Jews.

Mummy!

Thanks anyway.

Get the hell out!

I'm missing two from my list.

Louise and Lon.

Where are they, ma'am?

Do you honestly

expect me to tell you?

I won't leave!

This is my home.

Your name!

He fought in the Great War!

His Jewish comrades died for France!

How dare you?

Those are my children!

Murderers!

Excellent.

Only four suicides so far, sir.

And almost no fighting.

Yes, but how many have we got?

What time is it?

- I said, how many?

- 5000.

We're below target. Look lively!

Ida...

Get your paws off me!

Idiot!

Open up. Police!

Open it or we'll blow the lock off.

What are you doing?

A madwoman jumped with her brat.

I don't want an epidemic.

My God!

Who was it?

We know everyone here.

Who cares, they're dead.

Right, how many Jews here?

We've got five.

Sura, Charlotte, Rachel,

Joseph and...

Stupid dago name.

Schmuel Weismann.

- He isn't here.

- Where is he?

Deceased.

It doesn't say so here, ma'am.

Last week.

Embolism.

Just to repeat myself, you're allowed

Hurry up!

Girls, help me!

Take warm clothes,

they'll come in handy.

Where are you taking us?

Chop chop!

Get some crockery.

Nothing breakable.

No need, you'll get them there.

Forget that, too.

You won't need it there.

Where's "there"?

Why won't you tell us?

I don't know

and I don't give a damn!

Quick or I'll get the Gestapo.

You'll change your tune.

Don't try to escape,

we have orders to shoot.

Move!

For Poor Relief.

Shouldn't we tell Dad?

That's an idea I like.

So, not a widow after all?

Hubby's embolism all cured?

Get the champagne!

What's embolism, Mum?

It's okay, Jo. You didn't know.

Gently, please!

She got out of hospital yesterday.

You think they'll hurt my teddy?

They can't. It's a toy.

I don't understand.

Are you okay, Mum?

- Are you sure?

- Not a word.

Otherwise, they won't let me

come with you. Not a word.

- Your papers!

- Leave it, Momo, she's new.

Mona, make any cash last night?

Want a jar at Ren's?

Yeah, sure...

This strip of a girl? A prossie?

With a sprog and no tits?

As if you don't know

how twisted you men are.

Come on, Mona, let's have a drink.

I know where we'll hide her.

You're the Zygler girl, aren't you?

We'll take her to Father Bernard.

And Professor Traube, where's he?

At Collge St. Vincent,

with his students.

He's an early riser for a teacher!

Those kicked out of their schools

have no choice.

Remind me

to send a van to St. Vincent.

We have a Jew to pick up.

One Saul Traube.

You have ten minutes.

Food for two days,

one small suitcase.

You understand French, don't you?

- I have my orders.

- Not orders to peep, though.

Run up to the attic and hide.

- What are you going to do?

- Warn Dad.

I've got to beat them there.

Take your coats.

They'll think you left.

I'll try to delay them.

Go on!

The little b*tch!

Check upstairs.

Stop it!

Not so proud now, eh?

- Good riddance, I say.

- Shut up!

What'd these kids do to you?

Where are they taking them?

Jerusalem!

Death to Jewish vermin!

I'm not vermin!

Die!

Look, Mum, it's Jo!

Mum, grab him!

- We can keep him.

- I'm not allowed to.

Goodbye, HIne.

- That's enough.

- Goodbye, Sura.

Goodbye, Jo.

If anyone escapes,

hostages will be chosen at random

and shot.

Is that clear?

I'm sorry, Dad.

Sorry for what, son?

Isnt it better,

the whole family together?

I'm a war veteran.

I want to know where we're going.

- Are we leaving France?

- On my word as an officer, no.

I believe you.

Let's face facts, we've failed.

With all due respect, sir,

you call that a failure?

A mere 10,000 Jews missing!

They had accomplices.

To arrest more Jews,

we'll have to search Aryan homes.

From now on,

you must never say your old name,

nor your little brother's

nor other family members' names.

You must forget

your old address, your school,

your classmates...

You must change your date of birth,

your religion and everything else.

Do you see?

It's a question of life or death.

Thank you.

I know what you risk.

To fight Hitler

is to fight the Antichrist.

Excuse me,

the Winter Velodrome, please?

The senior doctor's expecting me.

I'm looking

for the consultations room.

- Who are you?

- Annette Monod.

Let go of my wife!

Miss! Our son has a bad fever.

I won't be a moment.

Can you tell us our new address?

Our children might worry.

We've been without water for 2 days.

Please, do something.

I'll be right back.

Where are we going?

My daughter has measles.

I won't be a moment.

Are you alone?

I beg your pardon?

I asked for reinforcements.

I'm sorry.

What's your name?

I only have 6 nurses,

including you, for 8000 people.

Ask Matthey Joanis at the nursery

what you can do.

Do you know if doctors are coming?

No.

I have 60 volunteers ready,

but they want no witnesses.

They dragged Jews from hospitals,

old folks' homes,

asylums even.
