  • SS officers plunge into the factory. All the Jews are to assemble outside immediately. The selection begins. David can do nothing, he is told to "shut up". The Reinhardts and their child, Nora - David's assistant and Mrs. Schrieber, all are taken to the Umschlagplatz. Stephanie is taken by the Germans - destination unknown. Sophie wants to cry but she has no tears left.
