:10:01
That was my husband.
:10:07
Do you recognize him?
:10:10
He was a student
of your father's.

:10:12
His name was Carl Bohlgren.
:10:14
After he was killed, I changed
back to my maiden name.

:10:17
It was safer.
:10:20
Ah, the tea.
:10:23
We just heard he'd given
a speech at the university...

:10:26
after the expulsion
of all the Jewish professors.

:10:29
Did you know my father?
:10:30
No, unfortunately.
:10:31
I met my husband while
he was studying in Berlin.

:10:34
We didn't move here until
after your father's death.

:10:37
He was a brave man.
:10:42
Maybe.
:10:43
Why do you say that?
:10:45
Well, he had to know what they
would do, what would happen.

:10:48
The Jews weren't his problem.
:10:50
Maybe he didn't see
them solely as Jews...

:10:52
but fellow human beings
and colleagues...

:10:54
who were being
unjustly persecuted.

:10:56
And what did they
ever do for him?

:10:57
- Maybe they were just using him.
- Who told you that?

:11:00
No one. It just makes sense.
:11:01
They probably deserved
to be expelled.

:11:03
Peter, they didn't do anything.
:11:05
Well, I don't know that.
How do you know?

:11:07
They were expelled.
They must have done something.

:11:15
I'm sure it's all been
very difficult for you.

:11:18
If your father could...
:11:19
My father left us
without anything...

:11:21
and my mother had to go work
in a factory.

:11:22
Don't tell me
about things that I know!

:11:27
I have to go now.
:11:34
It's better to know what
you're agreeing to, Peter.

:11:37
Peter,
they didn't do anything.

:11:39
Maybe they
were just using him.

:11:40
How did you know
they were just books?

:11:41
They must have done something!
:11:42
You must learn
to steel yourself.

:11:44
You cannot let your feelings
overcome you.
