:22:00
It was he who organized
our withdrawal from the ghetto.
:22:04
Nobody even knew
exactly what he was doing. . .
:22:07
. . .because he was such an urchin
from Powisle.
:22:11
As it turned out. . .
:22:14
. . .I immediately understood
that nobody was waiting for me.
:22:19
Nothing was ready.
Nothing was prepared.
:22:22
We have to do it by ourselves
from the beginning.
:22:26
I have to say that nobody believed,
especially Antek. . .
:22:31
. . .that it was possible.
:22:33
But it happened and here you are.
You're sitting here healthy.
:22:37
Such is the impudence
of Powisle guys.
:22:43
The other thing that really touched me
about the story. . .
:22:47
. . .was the honor of these people.
:22:49
In particular,
that it was Jewish honor.
:22:52
They said, ''We will live with honor
or we will die with honor.
:22:57
Jewish honor. ''
:22:58
The Germans had taken a role call,
1 92 children and 1 0 adults.
:23:03
Korczak was at the head of this army.
:23:06
The remnants of the moral soldiers
he had raised in his republic.
:23:11
The story is, Korczak was offered
permission to return home. . .
:23:16
. . .but not the children.
:23:17
He was making a statement.
''lf they go, I go. ''
:23:22
''The orphans walked
with quiet dignity.
:23:25
I shall never forget this scene.
:23:28
This was no march to the train. . .
:23:30
. . .but rather a mute protest
against this murderous regime.
:23:35
A procession the like of which
no human eye has ever witnessed. ''
:23:41
The ghetto resistance
lasted almost a month.
:23:44
Which is longer than some major armies
held out against the Germans.
:23:49
Longer than the army of France,
longer than the army of Poland.
:23:55
I think it's a symbol
of immense courage. . .
:23:58
. . .of the importance of seeing
that there are some things. . .
