:37:01
- They would never know.
- Would never know what?
:37:03
If you use a word other than "sterilize"...
:37:06
You think they would never know?
:37:08
It is simply a matter of secrecy.
:37:10
The smell of blood carries very far.
:37:11
I find the plan unworkable.
I find the plan personally insulting.
:37:16
I have given years to codifying the laws
regarding interracial marriage.
:37:19
Now I'm presented with this clumsy,
forgive me, unworkable structure.
:37:25
My work, these laws,
any legal code worthy of the name...
:37:28
...restricts the enforcers of law
as well as its subjects.
:37:31
There are some things you cannot do.
:37:37
As you see it.
:37:39
What I see is all I have to contribute here.
:37:44
Let me offer a modification,
a simple change we can all accept.
:37:49
Maybe this helps the outline.
:37:50
Sir, what you have suggested,
and not to put too fine a point on it...
:37:55
...you have said the half-mixed
will be eliminated.
:37:58
- Evacuated.
- "Evacuated." My mistake.
:38:02
That is a wholesale departure
from the law. But my suggestion...
:38:06
Yes, which is?
:38:08
I say the half-mixed should get
the choice we talked about...
:38:12
...to be either sterilized or taken away.
:38:14
Does that not come closer to the spirit,
at least, of the Nuremberg Law?
:38:18
- Dr. Stuckart, does it?
- No.
:38:21
Sorry, no. Sterilization is promising...
:38:25
...but attempting a supersession
of what are clearly defined laws...
:38:28
...in order to impose all these
subjective evaluations, it's like...
:38:33
Forgive me,
it is like the imposing of ad hoc law.
:38:36
Depending on subjective evaluations,
as to if he looks Jewish...
:38:38
...or has a Jewish personality,
or whatever else...
:38:41
...is subject to interpretation
and variation...
:38:44
...including the assertions
of the damned Jew himself.
:38:47
What does this do?
It subverts the Nuremberg Laws...
:38:50
...and perpetuates disrespect for the law.
:38:52
I think we are basing
our proposals carefully...
:38:54
No, with all due respect and all frankness,
it's a tangle.
:38:57
And this is not pride of authorship.
:38:59
I'm simply reacting to the bureaucratic
train wreck that's to follow.
