''We have forced the supermen to flee. ''
:18:07
''They are running for their lives. ''
:18:10
There was a pistol in his hand
and he used it for the first time. . .

:18:15
. . .and realized
that the Germans were human.

:18:19
They could be killed.
:18:20
So from that time on. . .
:18:23
. . .the atmosphere in the ghetto
changed.

:18:26
And I would say that the uprising. . .
:18:31
. . .and the role of the
Jewish fighters' organization. . .

:18:35
. . .in the Warsaw ghetto. . .
:18:38
. . .was succeeding only because
they had the cooperation. . .

:18:43
. . .of the remnant of the
Jewish population in the ghetto.

:18:48
The resistance knows victory
is temporary...

:18:52
... that the Germans will return.
:18:54
They do their best to prepare
for the next assault.

:18:59
Under the direction of General
Jürgen Stroop it begins in force.

:19:04
He was one of Himmler's favorites.
:19:07
Himmler knew he'd carry through.
:19:10
He was a butcher brought in
to destroy the remnants of the ghetto.

:19:14
We didn't think. . .
:19:18
. . .that we were going to fight
the German army.

:19:23
From a military point of view. . .
:19:26
. . .our uprising was zero.
Maybe less than that.

:19:31
He wrote about it as if it was
this great military activity.

:19:35
When it really was this destruction
of a town. . .

:19:39
. . .with all the weaponry he had
at his disposal.

:19:43
The most telling image
is this little boy with his hands up.

:19:47
I look at that image today. . .
:19:49
. . .and it just makes you shudder.
It's so frightening.

:19:53
He accelerated everything
until he blew up everything. . .

:19:58
. . .then burned it, then gassed it.
