The World Will Tremble

Hey. Up.

Get up!

They don't see us.

No, Wolf. Don't.

Your shoe!

Keep your toes covered or you'll lose them.

Don't worry, we'll find you a new one before we leave.

Why did you hide it?

If you get to Kolo,

tell my wife Klara I will come for them.

Tell them yourself. Tonight.

You ready

Yeah.

No, he'll see you.

The Russians aren't far,

they'll be here by spring.

The spring?

We'll not make it to the end of the week.

No one's coming for us.

-You'll get us all killed. -We're already dead.

Come on.

-Monik, don't. Please. -Monik, now.

Now. Move.

- Herr Polizeimeister, my shovel, my shovel!

The shovel. Sorry. Forgive me.

Don't kill me. I want to work.

I want to. I want to work. I'm sorry. Forgive me.

- Kaputt, huh? - Please.

Kaputt.

You really want to work?

Uh-huh.

Then you dig with your hands, okay?

Lenz!

Your lucky day. Huh?

Hm.

Hey. Stop!

You and you.

What you're waiting for? Dig!

Move!

Dig! Dig!

On the drive back. Tonight

You're mad.

Will use the knife to cut through the side of the transport truck

-You already tried that. With a rock, now we've got a blade.

And then what?

They've already rounded up every Jew from here to Lodz.

Where exactly will we go?

Have you seen anyone arrive from Grabow?

It's only a few kilometers away across the river. It could be done.

No, it can't.

There's still a ghetto there.

I know the rabbi, Schulman,

he's with the underground, trust me, he can help us.

But what if Goldman is right?

-What? -If we escape, they'll kill everyone.

They'll kill everyone if we don't.

It's too dangerous

Every morning when they take us out, half don't come back.

We don't know if we'll survive the day.

I overheard the Poles, they say the Russians will be here by spring.

Forget the Russians. We have nobody but ourselves.

Goldman says if we just hold on a little longer...

A little longer? For what?

Was burying your parents, your sisters not enough?

Forgive me, Solomon. I only meant that...

We must stop being afraid if we want to live.

Or if we just want to survive.

Stop! Hey.

No talking. Hmm?

Okay, Oskar.

Take your hats off!

Have you done sorting before?

No, Scharfuhrer.

-You. -No, Scharfuhrer.

-Yes, Scharfuhrer. -Department?

Clothes, Scharfuhrer.

If you steal anything,

You try to escape,

you so much as talk to each other..

-Are you listening to the Scharfuhrer, dog? -Jawohl.

-What? -Jawhol, Polizeimeister.

Everything must be kept in order, in the right pile.

You pick up the belongings, you take it inside for sorting.

-Very simple. -Yes, Scharfuhrer.

No talking, no eye contact.

No speaking, no eye contact.

Come, everyone. Everyone off.

It is all right. You're safe now.

-Go over there. -This way.

Come a little bit closer. Yes, please

Stand there.

Come, come.

Am aware of the hardships you Jews have endured since the start of the war.

And in the ghettos,

the horrific living conditions,

the disease

the lack of food.

But I assure you

your suffering is finally over.

This is the Kulmhof Transit Center.

Let me be the first to tell you that you have all been chosen for good honest work.

From here you will be transported immediately

to a new state-of-the-art factory in Leipzig

where you will be given hot meals, a place to stay,

and fair wages like that of the German workforce.

Now, as you may know, there has been a scare of typhus in the ghettos.

And we cannot allow that to spread to the factory.

Therefore. before the long journey, you will need to shower,

and all your clothes and luggage will be disinfected.

Gold, money, foreign currency, and jewelry are to be deposited against a receipt

Do not lose your receipt

Since you will be asked to present it upon arrival in Leipzig.

Now please, gather your things.

Do so quickly so you can step into the warmth of the castle

where you can undress and shower.

Do not forget to properly mark your baggage

so it can be identified later.

Goldstien? Goldstien.

Make sure to hand over all valuables hidden in your garments.

The steam from the disinfecting oven will destroy everything.

It would be a shame to let your valuables be ruined.

Your number.

We all know how stressful this period can be.

We believe it would be helpful if you would write letters to your families

that you have arrived to your destination and you're safe and healthy.

This way

You two.

Solomon? Solomon Wiener?

It's me, Aaron. From Kolo.

You don't remember me? I'm Moishe's father.

Yes, yes, I remember you.

Did you see Moishe?

He was in the transport two weeks ago.

Did he arrive at Leipzig?

Will we be working in the same factory?

Uh, Moishe...

Take this gentleman's belongings inside for disinfection.

-Yes. -Now.

-You wrote your letter? -Yes.

-You can go inside. -Thank you.

Go.

Stop.

Mama! Mama!

[muffled screaming continues[

Hide this. Hide it.

My pockets are torn. Hide it.

You're risking our lives over a pencil?

If people knew what this place is, what the Germans are doing,

they will help us.

Now take it, please. Come on.

Move.

Get them out.

Stop.

What you're waiting for?

They're not gonna bury themselves.

Use every centimeter. Keep them tight.

Good.

Look in the mouth.

Good.

Hey, hey. No, no, no.

The fat ones on bottom, the skinny one's on top.

Klara. Klara.

Klara!

Klara!

Gutta! Abos!

My baby, my baby. Klara.

Kill me. Kill me now, please. Let me be with my family.

Let me be with my family

You have to leave them.

-No. No. -Leave them.

Kill me. Please.

I beg you. Please kill me

Yeah...

Continue to work. Come on.

Come on!

Come on. Come on.

- Back to work. - Come.

-We have to keep going. -Keep going?

Hey. Get up.

For what?

Hey! Continue working. Come on.

Come.

Get up! Back to work. Hey!

- This is your last warning. - Please.

Continue working now! Get up!

Come on.

Back to work.

Work!

Work.

- Ready? - Now?

As soon as we are on the truck.

-Ready? -It'll never work.

You'll get shot.

We're walking.

Move!

Tomorrow morning,

They'll have fixed the truck.

Stop!

So what is here?

We caught him outside the woods, Polizeimeister.
