The Round Up Page #6

---

they can come and get it here.

In the sh*t.

You think I'm stupid?

Thought you could trick me?

B*tch!

Is that what you thought?

You dirty Yid!

Get rid of it.

Next!

Right, state your full name.

Put all you have on the table.

Jewels, cash, deeds...

And no cheating.

You saw what happens to cheats.

Come on!

- We haven't got all day!

- What are you doing?

You're mad!

- Lie on the table.

- Your head at this end.

Is that everything?

Go on.

Next!

I don't understand.

Why are the men over there?

I don't know either.

We're ready.

Due to a lack of rolling stock,

your younger children

won't be leaving today.

- You can't separate them.

- You have no right!

Keep them in check.

Stand back!

Back to the barracks!

Don't shoot!

Go back to the barracks.

I wanted to catch the train!

- What are you doing?

- Calm down.

The lunatics'll see their kids soon.

You're the lunatics! You can't leave

children without their mothers.

Shut up!

Sergeant!

Let me do my job.

That is your job!

Escort Miss Monod back.

Don't separate them!

Let me go!

Take your belongings

and leave quietly.

You will never succeed.

You'll never destroy us.

Back in line!

Out of the way! Move!

Attention!

One step back!

About turn!

Quick march!

Pick up your stuff!

Forward march!

You have to live, Jo.

Don't stay here. Find a way out.

Promise me!

I'm getting out.

- Come with me.

- What about your parents?

I've given up hope.

I can't leave without him.

We'll take turns to carry him.

I can't, I have a hernia.

That's okay. Bring it with you.

Stop, it hurts when I laugh.

A hernia's a kind of tear

in your stomach muscles.

I couldn't even lift him.

You go ahead.

I'll see you after the war.

No way.

I won't leave you and Nono here.

- We'll wait till you're cured.

- Don't be stupid.

They said we leave in 10 days.

I'll never be better in time.

It's your only chance. Take it.

- Go and hide it.

- Where?

In one of your shoes.

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

You have a raging fever.

You should go and see someone.

Who? The doctor?

The one in Beaune.

We don't want you catching typhoid.

Okay?

Do you know the bath song?

The bath song?

No, I don't. How does it go?

By the clear fountain

As I was walking by

The water looked so lovely

That I stopped to dive in

I've loved you so long

I'll never forget you

Bath's over.

Go and get dressed.

Go ahead, children.

Most of them

have forgotten their surnames.

How will they ever find

their parents?

- You've no idea where they are.

- Poland.

Don't worry.

Why haven't we heard from them?

It's been 5 days now.

The journey takes 3 days.

I doubt they have telephones there.

No news for their children here.

Doesn't that seem strange?

Come on.

Time for your bath.

When you were asked

to take in Jews,

you did,

but in a trickle.

A thousand here, a thousand there.

Always the same with the Americans.

Arbiters of the free world!

What's so strange about the Germans

taking Israelite manpower?

Especially with the Russian front.

But morally...

It's disease prevention, not morals.

We put an end to damaging

Gaullist and communist propaganda.

What damage can some women,

old folks and children cause?

And the invalids? The disabled?

Why this sudden urge

to take on more mouths to feed?

It's absurd. Unless...

- Unless what?

- It's racial purification.

And France

is an accomplice to the crime.

Joseph Kogan?

Weismann?

Watch out!

All clear.

What did I tell you?

Come on!

Let's go!

- What are you doing?

- We're hungry.

- Stop it!

- It's not an excuse!

Tastes like sh*t, this soup!

Corporal! Quickly!

What's going on?

Come back here!

I'll go first.

You okay?

The problem

of the Israelite children is settled.

For humanitarian reasons,

I asked for families to be reunited

within two weeks.

- Are you cold?

- No.

Are you scared then?

Yeah, I am.

It's not the dead

you need to watch out for.

It's the living.

Goodnight.

Miss!

Get up!

Get the children ready,

they're leaving.

What?

We're going to see Mummy!

Get dressed!

Don't forget them!

Get up, kids!

We're going to see Mummy!

Hold on, Nono, let's get our stuff.

Not him, he's very ill.

Put him down immediately.

- Put him back in his bed!

- They all have to go.

They have fever.

All the children must leave.

I have my orders.

Help me.

You can't even stand up.

Flowers for your Mummy?

They'll wilt in the train.

Pick others when you arrive.

- Who are you?

- The doctor from Beaune.

- I have to go.

- No, wait!

You're running a raging fever.

Where's Annette gone?

I don't know.

But at least we're together.

The children!

They can't travel alone!

You clearly don't understand.

You can't do anything.

You don't understand. Let go!

Please, don't scream.

I must tell you something.

Let me go.

There's nothing you can do for them.

It's too late.

What?

- They're going to die.

- What are you saying?

They'll be murdered.

On arrival, probably.

Gassed. All of them.

You're mad.

Listen!

I'm with De Gaulle.

There's no Jewish territory

out East.

There are camps.

Extermination camps. You see?

Gas chambers.

Some Polish partisans escaped.

That's how we found out.

Most of the parents

are already dead.

They don't keep children alive.

It can't be true.

The BBC announced it

a few days ago.

The Allies wouldn't allow it.

The camps aren't a "priority".

First, they want to stop the war.

Maybe later, when we're organized,

we can sabotage the convoys.

I don't believe it.

- Your full name?

- Bauer Abel.

- Your full name?

- Salomon Thurman.

- Your full name?

- Ylan Kotosh.

Full name?

Simon Zygler

and No Zygler.

Your full name?

Bernstein, Suzanne.

Full name?

Gilberte.

Gilberte what?

What's your Daddy called?

Daddy.

Label!

Let me out!

Stop, Nono!

I want Annette!

- Let me out!

- Stop it! Let go!

- I want to get out!

- Calm down now!

What are you doing?

Someone'll see you!

PARIS, JUNE 1945

Go inside and get some rest.

She's my wife!

Someone to see you.

Have you found your parents?

No. Nor my sisters.

I have a hundred kids upstairs,

but you know...

no child from the Velodrome

who took that train

ever came back.

Have you found anyone?

No.

Yes, I have.

You!

I met some good people.

From the North.

They want to adopt me.

That's good.

I'll be going.

I left my name at the desk.

Will you write to me?

Write to me here.

I'll be here a while.

Go on...

Gisle!

You're alive!

What are you doing?

Get out of here!

You know him?

We found him

near our local station.

He must have been pushed

onto the tracks. That's all we know.

He's not very talkative.

So you know his name?

Yes, I know him.

Out of 13,000 deportees,

only 25 survived.

None of the 4051 children

put on the train ever came back.

Vichy and the Germans

aimed to round up 24000 people.

But on the morning of the round-up,

brave Parisians helped hide 10,000

Jewish men, women and children.
