. . .especially Stroop himself
in his diary wrote. . .
:08:05
. . .on May 1 6th, he blew up
the Tlomackie Street temple and said:
:08:09
''Warsaw is judenrein. Warsaw is free
of Jews. '' Which was not the case.
:08:13
The Jews were living underground
and fought up to December.
:08:18
My interpretation is that Stroop lost.
If there were a Warsaw Ghetto battle. . .
:08:24
. . .the purpose was not only
to eradicate it, but get rid of leaders.
:08:28
And many did escape
and continue to fight.
:08:31
That was an interesting opportunity
to interpret that I think. . .
:08:36
. . .will shed a slightly new light,
or at least offer. . .
:08:39
. . .an opportunity for discussion among
experts about what happened there.
:08:44
Enough!
:08:52
The problems you have
to create a movie are infinite.
:09:01
I had to get enough knowledge to
be able to ask people questions. . .
:09:07
. . .that wouldn't be insulting,
and be able to listen.
:09:10
And after all the information I got,
I had to. . .
:09:13
. . .pass that on to different people
making a movie.
:09:17
I met survivors in Europe,
L.A., Poland, Israel, all over. . .
:09:22
. . .just scores and scores of them.
And I became quite knowledgeable.
:09:27
Kazik was very helpful. His influence
was details, factual things. . . .
:09:34
There were kids running, people
starving, feathers floating. . . .
:09:38
You say, ''This looks incredible.
So real. All these buildings. ''
:09:43
Then you see this man standing there
and he's laughing, smiling or staring.
:09:49
And you realize,
wow, he was here.
:09:51
He looked around and he pointed to
a third floor in the square and said:
:09:57
''That was my apartment. '' I think
we all had chills down our spine.
