00:04:50 |

00:05:11 |
Nika... |
00:05:14 |
Come, doggie. |
00:05:17 |
I toId you to stick with me! |
00:05:20 |
He's aIone and scared. |
00:05:23 |
We can't. We're in a hurry. |
00:05:32 |
Excuse me, do you |
00:05:34 |
- Cracow UhIan Regiment is? |
00:05:39 |
And the officers? |
00:05:45 |
There's a hospitaI |
00:05:48 |
They may know something. |
00:06:42 |
- Is dad there? |
00:07:19 |
ln nomine Patris, et Filii, |
00:07:32 |
- Mom, the coat. |
00:07:35 |
Dad's coat. |
00:07:43 |
HoId this. |
00:08:06 |
- What's happening? |
00:08:10 |
The president's address! |
00:08:13 |
... until today has |
00:08:17 |
of the overwhelming |
00:08:21 |
our eastern neighbor |
00:08:27 |
of covenants, and the immutable |
00:08:32 |
Warsaw as the capital |
00:08:37 |
- Who's that? |
00:08:41 |
- The Soviets are everywhere. |
00:08:44 |
The POW's are at the station |
00:08:49 |
- They were to be transported to Russia. |
00:08:53 |
- You can Ieave her with me. |
00:08:56 |
Wait here. |
00:08:59 |
I have another bicycIe. |

00:09:06 |
Take the bicycIe |
00:09:12 |
September 1 7, 1 939 |
00:09:16 |
The Bolsheviks have entered. |
00:09:20 |
Surrounded by Soviet tanks, |
00:09:28 |
They take us for POW's |
00:09:34 |
They have separated the officers |
00:09:38 |
but have retained us, the officers. |
00:09:41 |
l'll try to write from time to time |
00:09:45 |
what happen to me |
00:09:50 |
Maybe this notebook |
00:09:54 |
- They're dividing us. |
00:09:57 |
What're you doing? |
00:09:59 |
I've decided to describe |
00:10:02 |
day by day. |
00:10:04 |
The Germans take our soIdiers, |
00:10:08 |
Makes no difference. |
00:10:12 |
No honor to an officer. |
00:10:14 |
- I see onIy the dark side. |
00:10:17 |
Moscow hasn't signed |
00:10:31 |
How Iong do you think |
00:10:34 |
HitIer decIared |
00:10:38 |
and communism is forever. |
00:10:40 |
Greetings to the representatives |
00:10:44 |
First Lieutenant of the NKVD KozIov. |
00:10:47 |
thousand years at Ieast. |
00:10:49 |
- You never Iose your sense of humor. |
00:10:57 |
- How goes it, comrades? |
00:11:01 |
Their aIIiance won't Iast a year, |
00:11:04 |
which means they'II |
00:11:07 |
Who? |
00:11:10 |
One transport to SmoIensk, |
00:11:14 |
and the third to Kharkov. |
00:11:17 |
- nna? Your wife? |
00:11:25 |
What're you doing here, nna? |

00:11:45 |
Nearby. I have another |

00:11:56 |

00:11:59 |
nna, Iisten to me... |
00:12:02 |
You're a wife of a PoIish officer. |
00:12:06 |
This conversation is pointIess. |
00:12:10 |
PointIess? I've traveIed across |
00:12:15 |
I'm bound by my miIitary pIedge. |
00:12:21 |
You swore to me... |
00:12:26 |
TiII death do us part, |
00:12:30 |
I swore to them too. |
00:12:37 |
You just don't Iove us. |
00:12:39 |
- By God, nna, caIm down. |
00:12:47 |
I beg you, ndrzej... |
00:12:52 |
No taIking to the prisoner! |
00:12:54 |
- ndrzej. |
00:13:00 |
- Daddy! |
00:13:03 |
Don't go away! |
00:13:11 |
Take her. |
00:13:13 |

00:13:18 |
Take care. |

THE YOUNGEST CAVLRY CPTIN... |
00:15:44 |
Maybe the navy bIue |
00:15:49 |
No, thank you, my dear. |
00:15:51 |
I thought you were working. |
00:15:54 |
I found an oId paper |
00:15:58 |
when he was the youngest |
00:16:05 |
Our son Iives. He's in captivity, |
00:16:13 |
Thank you. |
00:16:16 |

00:16:20 |
We have to Iisten to the Iecture |
00:16:24 |

00:16:29 |
MuIIer. Doctor MuIIer. |
00:16:46 |
Does he have |
00:16:48 |
- that MuIIer? |
00:16:53 |
poIice government adviser. |
00:16:59 |
Dr. MuIIer. |
00:17:02 |
Jan... |
00:17:04 |
... you don't want to go there? |
00:17:09 |
Out of the question. |
00:17:14 |
We can't Ieave |
00:17:17 |
The Germans must beIieve |
00:17:21 |
when it comes to the independence |
00:17:33 |
Cracow, Nov. 6, 1 939 |
00:17:41 |
HeIIo... heIIo. |
00:17:47 |
Yes, ChanceIIor. |
00:18:06 |
GentIemen, |
00:18:11 |
We have been informed |
00:18:15 |
you start cIasses, seminars |
00:18:22 |
You don't seem to reaIize |
00:18:26 |
This kind of conduct |
00:18:32 |
is a hostiIe act |
00:18:39 |
In fact the university was aIways |
00:18:44 |
against Germany, the center |
00:18:48 |
The university is cIosed. |
00:18:51 |
You aII are under arrest. |
00:18:55 |
where you'II have enough time |
00:18:59 |
- Excuse me... |
00:19:03 |
I categoricaIIy protest |
00:19:10 |
Comments are forbidden. |
00:19:13 |
Whoever wiII try to disobey |
00:19:15 |
orders wiII be shot. |
00:20:20 |
November 1 939 |
00:20:26 |
Everybody fIed: poIice stations, |
00:20:31 |
- treason. |
00:20:34 |
- when you didn't fight. |
00:20:37 |
The camp does not justify |
00:20:41 |
- It's a fitting term: treason! |
00:20:45 |
- The truth is quite different. |
00:20:49 |
- where our C.-in-C. has fIed. |
00:20:52 |
that we were unprepared? |
00:20:54 |
History wiII judge |
00:20:58 |
Rehearsed pIatitudes, those, I think |
00:21:02 |
- I'm an engineer, I design pIanes. |
00:21:07 |
- The PoIish uniform. |
00:21:11 |
Don't jump at each other's throat. |
00:21:18 |
We stiII take part |
00:21:24 |
It's aII over with us. |
00:21:26 |
Try to find peace with this, |

00:22:58 |
This checks out. Everything's correct. |
00:23:03 |
I aIready appIied twice for traveI |
00:23:07 |

00:23:11 |
To my famiIy. |
00:23:13 |
MussoIini envies us aIready. |
00:23:16 |
That's what is in our fiIes. |
00:23:19 |
nd you were refused twice. |
00:23:23 |
I've appIied again. |
00:23:29 |
Refused! |
00:23:32 |
I used to Iive in Cracow before |
00:23:37 |
She's a citizen of the GeneraI- |
00:23:42 |
No! |
00:23:44 |
Let me return to Krakow, pIease. |
00:23:47 |
You can return of course, |
00:23:51 |
It's cIear in bIack and white that |
00:23:55 |

00:24:00 |
He'II be reIeased and |

00:24:40 |
Where's the pIate for |
00:24:45 |
I put it over here |
00:24:49 |
This one is for the GeneraI. |
00:25:03 |
Good. |
00:26:19 |
Sir, I report that the first |
00:26:22 |
Thank you. |
00:26:42 |
GentIemen... |
00:26:45 |
I have no doubts |
00:26:49 |
we'II reminisce about our |
00:26:52 |
None of us thought that |
00:26:56 |
onIy for immediate victories. Defeat |
00:27:01 |
... and captivity, |
00:27:03 |
but aIso a return home |
00:27:08 |
You don't Iay down your arms before |
00:27:12 |
So it's onIy up to you if you |
00:27:20 |
few words to those, |
00:27:22 |
who, not career officers, |
00:27:26 |
and are the majority here, |
00:27:30 |
Iawyers... |
00:27:35 |
You must endure, |
00:27:37 |
because there won't be a free |
00:27:44 |
The aim for us, ordinary |
00:27:48 |

00:27:51 |
Yet you'II have to make |
00:27:57 |
I wish you as weII as myseIf |
00:28:01 |
to return home safe and sound. |
00:28:07 |
To meet our nearest and dearest |

God is born on earth, |
00:28:18 |
Lord bereft of |
00:28:23 |
Lustrous flames fade, |
00:28:29 |
lnfinite unending Wonder! |
00:28:34 |
Scorned yet clothed |
00:28:40 |
Mortal though |
00:28:46 |
Thus the Word |
00:28:51 |
Dwelling without end |
00:29:11 |

That's not the point. |
01:08:26 |
To you, this is just evidence, |
01:08:33 |
ha. |
01:09:21 |
On the strength of the decision |

to ascertain the circumstances |
01:09:38 |

01:09:41 |
Each body underwent |
01:09:59 |
A shot in the back of the head, |
01:10:01 |
the favorite way of killing |
01:10:07 |
Judging by autopsies, brains, |
01:10:12 |
that the Polish POW's |
01:10:15 |
earlier than in the fall of 1 94 1. |
01:10:20 |
The Germans committed |

That's how they shot the Poles. |

I was there a year ago. |
01:12:04 |
Where? |
01:12:06 |
In Katyn when the Soviets |

01:14:07 |
The Katyn graves opened up |
01:14:11 |

01:14:18 |

There were horribIe |
01:15:20 |

01:15:24 |
- But it's pIain that... |
01:15:27 |

01:15:29 |
murdered everyone shooting |
01:15:33 |
Piss off. You're drunk. |

Not for a moment are we |

about the terrible |
01:17:19 |
who were later dumped |
01:17:21 |
into a common pit... |
01:17:24 |
and next dragged out of the pit... |
01:17:32 |
those jackals and hyenas. |
01:17:38 |
POW's were murdered |
01:17:42 |
in cold blood |
01:17:45 |
calmly, systematically. |
01:17:51 |
Dumped into a common pit, |
01:17:55 |
professional officers, |

By his service papers. |

It was snapped when |
01:20:54 |
He wasn't a professionaI officer, |
01:20:57 |
but an engineer designer, |
01:21:01 |
He Iooks so gIum, |

Those Germans who worked |

01:33:26 |
- We'II pIait a thick braid. |
01:33:33 |
It won't grow after the camp. |
01:33:41 |
It's a pity to cut it off. |
01:33:45 |
Do your duty. |
01:33:50 |
Don't you worry. |

It'd be a true misfortune |
01:34:14 |
if my brother were Ieft |
01:34:19 |
nd the rest. |
01:34:21 |
It's indifferent to me. |
01:34:27 |
Do you think I'm mad? |
01:34:29 |
How to judge a mad woman... |
01:34:33 |
... before the tribunaI |
01:34:39 |
Who puts on a wig of someone's |

01:35:25 |
LIEUTENNT PILOT |

You're Iooking for someone? |
01:35:45 |

01:35:53 |
But he was taken away |
01:35:59 |

01:36:02 |
When the Germans dug out |
01:36:07 |
the Canon said Mass there? |
01:36:12 |
Red Cross who were there, |
01:36:15 |
But I've brought a pIaque |
01:36:18 |
- Did the Canon agree? |
01:36:29 |
Lieutenant PiIot |
01:36:32 |
kiIIed in Katyn in priI 1 940. |
01:36:38 |
But I cannot |
01:36:41 |
I thought tempIes differed from |
01:36:49 |
Those who took the Canon |
01:36:53 |
aII enemies of the peopIe's |
01:36:57 |
The Soviets did it in '40. |
01:37:02 |
- You must agree. |
01:37:05 |
How this pIaque may |
01:37:16 |
Take it away. |
01:37:50 |
What do you want to do? |
01:37:53 |
To put it on our tomb |
01:38:01 |
- Where have you been so Iong? |
01:38:05 |
- You couId sometimes drop a Iine. |
01:38:08 |

01:38:14 |
So heIp me. |
01:38:18 |
- You're afraid. |
01:38:22 |
Join the Party. |
01:38:25 |
It's not that way. It's a different |
01:38:30 |
us from it neither during |
01:38:34 |
You've joined aIready. |
01:38:39 |
Even the Rising |
01:38:42 |
You won't change this worId. |
01:38:48 |
Or buiId as much freedom |
01:38:52 |
as much PoIish identity |
01:38:55 |
You're too wise |
01:38:58 |
You've found a pIace in |
01:39:02 |
whereas I am whoIe |
01:39:05 |
If I must choose, |
01:39:10 |
You choose the dead, |

No. I choose the murdered, |
01:39:35 |
How Iong wiII it take? |
01:39:37 |
The work - 20 minutes, |
01:39:42 |
I don't understand. |
01:39:44 |
You asked how Iong |
01:40:07 |
Do your work. |
01:40:29 |
I hear that you spread |
01:40:34 |
What do you think is faIse? |
01:40:37 |
My brother's Ietter from |
01:40:40 |
priI 6, 1 940 is true. |
01:40:43 |
You know it was the Germans. |
01:40:48 |
You put a pIaque in the cemetery |
01:40:51 |
with a faIse date of your |
01:40:55 |
- To sIander the Soviet comrades? |
01:40:59 |
The truth is a given. |
01:41:02 |
The Russians persuade |
01:41:05 |
The Germans accuse the Russians. |
01:41:08 |
- government did not expIain the affair. |
01:41:13 |
How can you say I spread |
01:41:17 |
You'II sign a statement that |

No. |

Who did you fight in the Rising? |
