:11:00
. . .to anyone
who showed up voluntarily.
:11:03
And Jews were saying:
:11:05
''See? If they were
to take us to our deaths. . .
:11:09
. . .they wouldn't give us
bread and marmalade. ''
:11:12
So how can you believe?
:11:14
It's unbelievable, by the way.
:11:17
It's so unbelievable. . .
:11:20
. . .that out of the blue. . . .
:11:22
How can you believe
that somebody is going to kill you. . .
:11:27
. . .just because you are a Jew?
:11:32
So people don't believe in it.
:11:36
You don't want to, and you can't.
:11:41
Sometimes the truth can be. . .
:11:43
. . .not emotionally involving
or dramatic or plausible.
:11:47
If I were to say I'd crash a plane
into the World Trade Center. . .
:11:52
. . .and both centers, hit by two
planes, were going to collapse. . .
:11:56
. . .no one in America who's not
judged mentally deficient. . .
:12:00
. . .would have believed it.
:12:02
Even in the ghetto,
people had trouble believing. . .
:12:06
. . .Treblinka was a killing center. . .
:12:08
. . .just as we're still dealing in our
own country in late September 2001 . . .
:12:14
. . .trying to come to terms
with, how could this happen?
:12:19
The biggest obstacle
that Zuckerman and Anielewicz faced. . .
:12:23
. . .as leaders of the
Jewish fighting organization. . .
:12:27
. . .was trying to convince the rest
of the Jews within the ghetto. . .
:12:32
. . .that their life was in danger.
:12:36
When the first action started. . .
:12:39
. . .we sent out Z ygmunt
to follow the train.
:12:43
Near Treblinka,
railroad workers told him. . .
:12:46
. . .there are trains with people coming
but they're returning empty.
:12:50
There are no transports of food,
no wells are being dug. . .
:12:55
. . .and the camps are silent.
:12:58
What the Germans couldn't hide
was the smell.
