Ruth
:15:12
Silence, Rachel.
:15:15
Silence.
:15:18
Isn't it time to break the silence?
:15:20
I need some peace.
:15:21
You will never have peace
without forgiving all of us.

:15:25
Shut up, Rachel.
:15:37
This time I've given up for good.
:15:39
You speak German?
:15:41
Just like you, you and your mother.
:15:52
This is your mother
as a child, in Berlin.

:16:01
And the woman?
:16:02
The woman who saved her life.
:16:07
Saved her life?
:16:08
My mom sent for Ruth to come live
with us in America after the war.

:16:13
I thought she came to America alone.
:16:15
That's true, too.
:16:16
My parents immigrated here
from Europe, back in 1933.

:16:21
I was born in the USA.
My name is Rachel Rosenbauer.

:16:25
I'm your mother's cousin.
:16:30
Hi, Rachel.
:16:33
I'm so sorry that she never
told us anything about you.

:16:38
Or about this woman.
:16:41
Why didn't she?
:16:45
It's all my fault...
:16:47
even though I was just a child at the time.
:16:50
Just like your mother.
:16:54
When she came to live with us,
I was terribly jealous of her.

:16:58
She would secretly look at
this photo at night and cry.
