. . .that are more important
than life itself.

Mordechai Anielewicz
was a man who was aware. . .
:24:10
. . .that his life and death. . .
:24:13
. . .was gonna have a meaning
beyond the mundane.
:24:17
It was very important to him. . .
:24:20
. . .that he fought and died
in the ghetto. . .
:24:24
. . .so his death would have meaning
as defending where he lived.
:24:29
He and his wife remarkably
both made it out.
:24:33
You think it's a happy ending, that
he and his wife made it to Palestine.
:24:39
And they raised a family.
He had a family.
:24:42
And they started a kibbutz.
:24:44
But the sad part of the story
for me. . .
:24:48
. . .and what breaks my heart. . .
:24:51
. . .is that he never really
escaped the effects. . .
:24:55
. . .of what happened during the war.
:24:58

On one hand, they lived
these incredible, fulfilling lives. . .
:25:08
. . .and have been able to appreciate,
maybe more than most of us. . .
:25:13
. . .what life has to offer.
:25:15
On the other hand, they have this--
:25:19
I don't know how to describe it.
Almost like steel ingot, hot guilt. . .
:25:25
. . .that just lances them.
And they have to live with that.
:25:30
General Stroop
was standing in front of me. . .
:25:34
. . .without a belt, without suspenders.
:25:37
He already had one death sentence
and came to Poland to get a second.
:25:42
He stood in front of me at attention,
clicked his heels.
:25:46
For a soldier,
this is victory, no doubt.
:25:49
The loser has surrendered.
He will be punished.
:25:53
Everything is in order.

After a few years,
the German chancellor, Willy Brandt. . .
