The Sorrow and the Pity Page #10

were extremely revolted

and refused to have any part in it.

Gentlemen,

this Jew's criminal record shows nothing

of the suffering of our people

during his tyranny.

This is why I give the floor to the person

who has suffered most.

I ask for nothing.

You are the judges, not me.

Please, Sturm, you are the one

with the most right to judge him.

It is not my decision to take.

Suffering is too subjective.

It would be unfair.

However, I see an ancient article

of criminal law which applies:

"If ever a Jew commits a sin...

"If ever a Jew commits a sin of the flesh

with a Christian woman,

"he shall be publicly hung

without further ado."

"If ever a Jew commits a sin of the flesh

with a Christian,

"he shall be publicly hung

without further ado,

"as punishment,

and as an example for all others."

Have mercy! I've done nothing wrong!

I've always acted in the name of my savior!

It's not my fault

that your duke wanted to betray you!

I can fix everything, I swear. Everything!

Take all that I own. Take all my money.

But don't take my life!

I am innocent!

I'm just a poor Jew. Let me live.

I want to live!

I want to live! Live!

The State Council and I speak

for all Wurtemburgers in decreeing

that all Jews must leave Wurtemberg

in the next three days.

This is valid across the entire country.

This decree has been taken in Stuttgart

on February 4, 1738.

May our descendants remember this,

for in doing so, they will spare themselves

much pain and suffering,

and will keep their blood pure

of the influence of this accursed race.

THE END:

There were only certain people

who actually enjoyed Le Juif Suss,

the anti-Semites who saw

their beliefs confirmed in the movie.

The collaborators would also see it.

Then there were those

who were taken by surprise.

I'd say that 80%%% of the people

who came to see Le Juif Suss

assumed it would be just like

any other light-hearted movie.

The German films weren't

particularly good.

However,

they featured many French film stars,

as Continental had made

many French films before the war.

Tino Rossi and the like

filmed at Continental.

s an artistic endeavor,

several actors are off to Germany.

t East Station,

we've spotted Albert Prjean.

Danielle Darrieux.

Suzy Delair.

Junie Astor.

Viviane Romance.

Dr. Karl Frhlich, president

of the German Cinema Corporation,

has invited them on a 12-day studio tour

of Vienna, Munich and Berlin.

Today Mr. Heydrich,

general of the S.S. and head of security,

was sent to Paris by Mr. Himmler,

chief of the S.S. and the police,

to officially install Mr. Oberg

in his new post in occupied territory.

Mr. Heydrich is president

of the International Criminal Police,

a commission to which

France has always belonged.

Mr. Heydrich visited Mr. Bousquet,

secretary general of the police,

and Mr. Hiller,

secretary general of administration.

He also had a chance

to see Mr. Dartier de Pellepoix,

in charge of Jewish Questions,

as well as Mr. de Brinon.

What was Paris like back then?

There were two sides to Paris.

There were those struggling to survive,

and there was high-society.

Il we were missing was Rgine.

There's no doubt about it.

Everyone's ashamed to say it today,

but for some, life in Paris was great.

Maxim's and Le Boeuf sur le Toit

did a booming business.

The movie industry was in full swing.

From what I've heard,

actually, or so they say,

French films were so good then

because a certain category

of producers had fled to the States.

Many directors have gone on

to do very well in their careers,

but they forget what they said then.

Paris was a fun and crazy place.

Let me assure you that there were

some wild and crazy times back then.

Il right, boys. This way.

We'll go straight to the source

to whet our whistles.

What happened to you in 1937?

You can't even begin to imagine.

-It's a long story.

-Be careful...

First give us a drink,

then we'll see what's up.

I think we're going to earn our drink today.

-Is that red wine?

-Yes, it's as Red as I am.

So what happened in here?

This cellar has seen everything.

The Resistance in uvergne began here.

The night the first weapons arrived,

we met in this very cellar.

and we sang the Internationale.

We weren't Communists,

but as Ptain sang the Marseillaise,

we had to sing the Internationale.

You see, people attended

the raising of the colors reluctantly.

-Yet they still came?

-They had no choice.

It is in times like those

when you begin to realize

what people are really like.

-How do you mean?

-They were scared stiff.

With only a few exceptions.

-Was it really a risk not to come?

-Risk or no risk, they still came.

-So they thought there was a risk?

-They thought so.

I was under the impression

that there were quite a few students here

who ardently supported General de Gaulle.

For example,

there was the son of a colleague

whose name escapes me, among others.

What about among the teachers?

I really can't say

how many teachers supported him.

We were sympathetic

to the young people's cause,

but there wasn't the same enthusiasm...

the same enthusiasm

which was gaining momentum

among the young people.

Why do you think that is?

It often seems to be the case in life.

Young people are, in general,

more sincere and more dynamic.

They don't think things through.

I think it would be fair to say

that they are less cautious.

They are more open and friendly.

What do you think?

-They're not as scared.

-True.

Some of my students got caught.

I can't really say who.

Not so many, just a few of them.

In fact, many of them now have

streets named after them here.

There was Bacaud.

The street going to Fontvige

is named after him.

-I taught this charming boy.

-He was in the Resistance?

These people,

as Dionnet was saying earlier,

had created a network.

We only found out about it later.

They continued to pretend

they were just your average students.

But we only found out about this later.

Perhaps Dionnet,

who was in the Resistance, knew.

What was it like for the others?

How did the others react

when someone's desk was empty?

I don't know. I can't remember.

When a student's parents were arrested,

and the son showed up at school

the next day, how did they react?

-I can't remember.

-How can you forget?

Can you remember?

No, I can't.

No specific examples.

I see some examples on the wall.

Those are our former students...

Aren't those the students

who died in World War l?

It says World War ll.

I'm trying to remember, but I can't.

Clermont-Ferrand is giving

Marshal Ptain a warm welcome.

He has come to approve

the constitution of the Peasants' Union,

and the end of the winter crusade

for National id.

The head of state will then receive

the donations to National id

brought by peasants

from all over the region.

It is a symbolic ceremony

for the French mutual aid campaign.

great day for France as our hearts

beat together in collective hope.
