Uprising

Such a boy.

Kazik, speak to me.

Let's get out of here.

No stinking Jews in my line.

The bread is for Poles

on the Aryan side, not Jews.

Go to your side! Go to the Ghetto!

Officer, I am a veteran

of the Polish armed services.

Then you're a fighter?

Mordechai Anielewicz?

You're wanted for work detail.

Let's go.

Work detail? Where?

Who knows? What's the difference?

All Jews ordered to report.

How will I know what to wear?

Don't get smart. Put on a shirt.

Let's get moving.

This work detail. It wouldn't by

any chance be a German work detail?

-I warned you--

-Because I only work for my people.

Now, move!

You, a Jewish policeman,

are a traitor to your people.

For this alone, I should kill you.

But often I ask myself the following:

Can a moral man, that's me...

...maintain his moral code

in an immoral world?

Does this question interest you?

Get out of here before I hurt you.

Papa, why are so many people

moving here?

Just be glad you've

got the bread, Tosia.

Take off your hat.

No, thank you.

I said, take off your hat.

Hurry up!

What's the matter with you?

I take off my hat for myself,

Yitzhak. For nobody else.

What now?

Please, stop.

-Let go. No.

-Please, stop.

Please. Please, stop.

He's my grandson, David.

They're bastards. They create

a Jewish police force for their dirty work...

...unless, of course, they feel like

having some fun themselves.

Of course, divide and conquer.

What is next?

Kazik.

What are you doing with this fancy car?

-Driving, if you hadn't noticed.

-What did you do? Did you steal it?

Now, Mordechai,

why would I steal what I can have for free?

What scheme are you up to now?

I am the official driver

for Adam Czerniakow.

The head of the Jewish Council.

That's who I am here to pick up

as we speak. Traffic permitting.

You can help us set up a meeting

with your boss Czerniakow.

If I did that, as his driver,

I'd put my position at risk.

If you don't, you'll be helping the Germans.

This doesn't worry you at all,

aiding the enemy?

I'd worry more if I couldn't feed myself

and what remains of my family.

Never mind how we deal

with the Jewish police.

Never mind how we deal

with schooling the children.

-We all have--

-We don't want Kazik to lose his job.

I wish you well.

Mira has contacted some sympathizers

at the border...

...who said they might be able

to get some of our students out of Poland.

But it has to be right away.

What do you think?

If you can get them out of Poland

and to Palestine...

...then I would do it at once,

before the opportunity is lost.

Yeah. I think you're right.

-Wish me luck.

-Luck.

Captain Szerynski, you're

taking these boys illegally.

All Jewish men between the age of 12

to 60 are decreed to perform forced labor.

-Did you examine their documents?

-And you are?

Yitzhak Zuckerman, their teacher.

Look at their documents.

They are legally exempt from forced labor.

Yes, they are, aren't they?

Today, everyone works, Zuckerman.

See that Zuckerman gets the opportunity

to work as well.

-Hello, everyone. Take your seats, please.

-Mordechai.

-Yes, Julian.

-I understand....

We understand we might be leaving for

Palestine through Romania, any day now.

-What do you know about this?

-Where did you hear this?

Rumor.

-Rumor from where?

-Rumor mill.

Rumor mill.

Unfortunately,

I have to leave immediately today...

...but I hope to return very soon

and address this nasty rumor.

In the meantime, taking my place

for today's lesson, I have a special treat.

A renowned scholar and rumormonger...

...Mr. Julian Wald.

Julian, come up here, please.

Okay, who remembers today's topic?

Anybody? Help me out here

because I forgot to write it down.

Something about morality.

Yes, Frania.

Can a moral man maintain his moral code

in an immoral world?

Very good. Okay, Julian?

Can you work with that topic?

Sure.

Okay.

Today's topic:

Can an immoral man

maintain his moral code...

...on a first date?

So, everything is arranged

until you get to the border.

Still, you will have to get across

on your own.

And?

And if you find a safe passage....

Yes?

If you find a safe passage

and return safely...

...then you will get a reward.

What kind of a reward?

Perhaps the fulfillment of your dreams...

...seeing your students

make the desert bloom...

...and become fertile.

That's it?

That's a lot of work. The danger alone is--

All right.

Perhaps the eternal gratitude

of your people...

...and of a certain person...

...in particular.

Who?

Someone very close to you.

What kind of gratitude?

What if I find two safe passages?

You can take off your armband now.

Go. Go.

Get down to the stream and follow it.

Over there is the border.

-Is it very far?

-No.

You should reach the safe house

before nightfall.

They are aware of your journey.

I will receive my payment now.

Thank you very much.

Good luck to you.

Welcome to our country!

See if you can pull around them.

So, Kazik...

...how did you get this assignment,

driving my car?

Your other driver was taken

to a slave labor battalion.

And?

I was chosen to replace him.

-Kazik.

-Yes, sir?

Do not steal the car.

Yes, sir.

A detachment of SS soldiers,

under the command of Lieutenant Muller...

...expended a number of hours burning

the Jewish synagogue on Stawki Street...

...upon request of the Health Ministry,

after finding unsanitary conditions.

About the hostages taken to Pawiak...

...we provided you

with the paperwork yesterday.

For this operation,

...for which we will expect reimbursement

from the Jewish Council.

That would be 20 zlotys per liter.

Six-hundred zlotys.

We will get you the funds.

About the other matter...

...23 hostages were taken,

some women and children...

...all because a Polish police officer

was roughed up.

-Certainly the children--

-This paperwork! Yeah, here it is.

Commissar Auerswald...

...you have appointed me to administer

to the needs of 350,000 people.

I find it impossible

to manage the community...

...under these circumstances.

And I must ask you to release me from

my position as head of the Jewish Council.

That would be inadvisable.

The fine levied on each prisoner

is 10,000 zlotys.

If the Jewish Council wishes to pay

the full fine, 230,000 zlotys...

...make sure they do so

by 6:
00 p.m. tomorrow.

You should get busy, Czerniakow.

Stop.

What are you hiding there?

Smells good.

Be better with jam, but...

...try it.

Get out of here.

No, please, it's for my father.

He's very sick. He needs it badly.

How badly?

Please.

Now...

...get out of here.

Tosia, come.

-Are you all right, Mama?

-I'm fine.

It's too dangerous to go out like you do.

Hello, dear.

Go, Rachel.

Papa?

Go.

Papa, we're going to sell a few books,

but we'll try to keep your favorites.

I think we need some more.

Do you want another blanket?

Are you warm enough?

I won't allow you. Do you hear me?

Papa.

I'm going to keep your favorites
