1:04:00
It was really
a very painful time for me.
1:04:04
The year ends,
and Zelig is still missing.
1:04:12
I just moped around and wept.
1:04:14
And one night
after a very bad time...
1:04:17
my sister Meryl said to me...
1:04:20
"Come on, let's go out
for dinner or a concert."
1:04:23
I said, "No. I can't do it,"
but she insisted.
1:04:27
We went out
and ended up in a movie.
1:04:30
We saw "Grand Hotel," and
with it, there was a newsreel.
1:04:43
Adolf Hitler and
the National Socialist Party...
1:04:47
continue to consolidate gains
in depression-ridden Berlin.
1:04:50
Denouncing
the Treaty of Versailles...
1:04:52
the Nazis make fervent appeals
to German patriotism...
1:04:56
Eudora Fletcher is stunned
by what she sees.
1:05:00
Amongst the brown shirts...
1:05:02
she spots a figure
who could be Zelig.
1:05:05
Then it made all
the sense in the world...
1:05:08
because although
he wanted to be loved...
1:05:11
craved to be loved...
1:05:13
there was also
something in him...
1:05:16
that desired immersion
in the mass and anonymity.
1:05:20
And Fascism offered Zelig
that kind of opportunity...
1:05:23
so that he could make something
anonymous of himself...
1:05:28
by belonging
to this vast movement.
1:05:32
She sails for
Europe the following week.
1:05:36
Ten days later,
she arrives in Berlin.
1:05:39
Germany is a country deep
in the throes of the Depression.
1:05:43
Militarism and unrest
are in the air.
1:05:47
She searches everywhere
and makes inquiries...
1:05:49
but it is impossible.
1:05:51
After three weeks...
1:05:52
the authorities begin
to get suspicious.
1:05:55
They watch her.
1:05:56
While she is out,
they search her hotel room.
