: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.
:13:03
This couldn't be done.
:13:05
They could hide everything
but not the smell.
:13:09
This was impossible.
:13:11
So, what he saw. . .
:13:14
. . .were trains going in,
going out empty. . .
:13:19
. . .and the smell of burnt flesh.
:13:23
In just 7 weeks...
:13:25
...265,000 people are deported
to their deaths at Treblinka.
:13:31
The 60,000
who remained in the ghetto...
:13:34
...are without illusions
as to what the Germans have in store.
:13:38
I didn't see for me any chance--
:13:42
Not for me, for the Jews in general. . .
:13:48
. . .the possibility to survive.
:13:52
That means that what you can do. . .
:13:56
. . .is choose the way
you are going to die.
