January 27, 1932. Dusseldorf, Germany.
Adolf Hitler, a rising political fi gure with Germany’s Nazi party,
addresses some of Germany’s elite.
The superiority of the aryan race!
A consciousness of right which was rooted solely in the conviction of the superiority and
therefore of the right of the aryan race.
Just in the same way Cortez or Pizarro
annexed Central America and the northern states
of South America…
…not on the basis of any claim of right, but
from the absolute inborn feeling of the superiority
of the aryan race.
We have the so-called aryan race
which…has created for itself a privileged position
in the world.
England did not conquer India by the way of justice and
of law.
She conquered India without regard to
the wishes of the natives… and with the most brutal
ruthlessness.

More than a year later. May 10, 1933. Berlin, Germany.
A few years ago, the Nazi party had little support
in Germany.
And now Hitler has been Chancellor of Germany since January. And then
this? ...How?!
See, Leah. You didn’t believe me when
I told you I saw our classmates burning
books and--
...spouting Hitler’s racist ideas. I didn’t want to believe
you, Isaak.
Burn them all!!!
We must protect the purity of the aryan race!
Heil Hitler!!!

I heard that a lot of
Jews are fl eeing the country.
Did you hear that rumor,
Leah?
Leah?!
It’s far worse than boycotts,
Isaak. People are being arrested.
Writers, teachers…anyone opposing Hitler…
they’re being sent to some sort of prison
camp.
Did I tell you, how last month
Nazi thugs stood outside my uncle’s
bakery?
They were shouting at his regular customers,
telling them not to buy bread from him just because he’s Jewish.
The economy’s a shambles. People are desperate for work, and Hitler’s convinced them he can improve life in Germany.
At what cost? He’s blaming all of Germany’s problems on--
...the Jews! Hitler will purify
Germany! Hitler will restore Germany to its former glory!

I love you, Isaak. I don’t want
to lose you!
You won’t lose me, Leah. Things will change.
Things can’t stay like this for long, can they? Germany can’t remain
like this, can it?
Come with me, Isaak.
Leah… M-my family. They
can’t leave. My father’s shop…
My parents need me… I…
I…I didn’t know how to tell you, Isaak... b-b-but my family is
leaving too.
Leaving? Leaving where?
Not Berlin?!
Leaving Germany. Tomorrow. My parents
are terrifi ed about what’s happening and think it’ll
only get worse.
We have cousins in Holland. We’ll
go there.

‘Things will get better.’
People won’t blindly follow Hitler.
They won’t.
Things will get better. They
have to.
