00:00:28.819 --> 00:00:30.905

No Well then

00:00:30.988 --> 00:00:34.241

If we'd opened the doors there would have been chaos

00:00:34.325 --> 00:00:37.998

How could we have restored order

00:00:37.161 --> 00:00:40.289

It happened so fast It was snowing The bombs

00:00:40.372 --> 00:00:43.542

The flames There were flames all over the village

00:00:43.626 --> 00:00:46.754

Then the screaming began and got worse and worse

00:00:46.837 --> 00:00:50.257

If they'd all come rushing out we couldn't just let them escape

00:00:50.341 --> 00:00:54.512

We couldn't We were responsible for them

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.876

لا أعـرف عـم تسـأل

00:00:03.043 --> 00:00:06.588

أول شيء أسـأل عنه هو لمـاذا لم تقـمن بفتـح الأبـواب

00:00:06.755 --> 00:00:10.003

بالطـبع لأسـباب وجـيهة

00:00:11.885 --> 00:00:14.555

لم نسـتطع لمـاذا لم تسـتطعن

00:00:14.722 --> 00:00:17.099

كنـ ا حارسـات

00:00:17.267 --> 00:00:20.479

مهـمتنا هي حراسـة السـجينات

00:00:20.646 --> 00:00:23.001

لم نسـتطع السـماح لهـن بالهـرب

00:00:23.019 --> 00:00:24.442

فهـمت

00:00:24.608 --> 00:00:27.528

وإذا هـربن لتـم توجـيه اللـوم إليكـن ولتـمت إدانتكـن

00:00:27.695 --> 00:00:29.405

وربمـا تم إعدامكـن لا

00:00:29.572 --> 00:00:31.449

إذن مـاذا

00:00:31.615 --> 00:00:34.827

إن فتحـنا الأبـواب لحـدثت فوضى

00:00:34.994 --> 00:00:37.396

كيف لنا أن نتمـكن من استعـادة النظـام

00:00:37.663 --> 00:00:39.415

حدث الأمـر بسـرعة وكان الثلـج يتسـاقط

00:00:39.582 --> 00:00:43.502

القـنابل والحـرائق كانت الحـرائق تنتشـر في القرية

00:00:43.669 --> 00:00:47.002

ثم تعـالت الصرخـات وسـاء الوضـع أكثر وأكثر

00:00:47.215 --> 00:00:50.998

حتى وإن اندفعـن جمـيعا للخـارج لم يكن بوسـعنا أن نسـمح لهن بالهـرب

00:00:50.177 --> 00:00:51.097

لم نسـتطع

00:00:52.137 --> 00:00:54.474

كنـا مسـئولات عنهـن

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.968

Je ne comprends pas ce que vous demandez

00:00:03.998 --> 00:00:04.867

La première chose que je demande c'est

00:00:04.904 --> 00:00:06.804

pourquoi n'avez vous pas ouvert les portes

00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.501

Ça m'a l'air clair

00:00:09.542 --> 00:00:12.238

Nous ne pouvions pas

00:00:12.278 --> 00:00:14.337

C'est évident Vous ne pouviez pas

00:00:14.038 --> 00:00:17.247

Nous étions de garde

00:00:17.283 --> 00:00:21.242

Et notre boulot était de garder les prisonnières

00:00:21.287 --> 00:00:23.255

Pas de laisser s'échapper ces femmes

00:00:23.289 --> 00:00:24.551

Je vois

00:00:24.059 --> 00:00:26.956

Et si elles s'échappaient vous seriez blâmées

00:00:26.993 --> 00:00:28.688

peut être bien accusées Non

00:00:28.728 --> 00:00:29.099

Peut être exécutées Non

00:00:30.029 --> 00:00:31.257

Quoi alors

00:00:31.297 --> 00:00:34.596

Si on avait ouvert les portes on aurait été en plein chaos

00:00:34.634 --> 00:00:37.432

Comment aurait on pu restaurer l'ordre

00:00:37.047 --> 00:00:38.994

Ça s'est passé si vite

00:00:39.997 --> 00:00:42.769

Il tombait de la neige il y avait les bombes les flammes

00:00:42.808 --> 00:00:44.935

Il y avait des flammes dans tout le village

00:00:44.977 --> 00:00:46.774

Et y a eu les premiers hurlements et ça empirait

00:00:46.812 --> 00:00:48.037

Si elles s'étaient toutes

00:00:48.414 --> 00:00:50.939

précipitées dehors elles se seraient toutes échappées

00:00:50.983 --> 00:00:53.508

Et notre devoir c'était On était responsables

00:00:53.553 --> 00:00:54.085

de ces femmes

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.921

Ich verstehe ihre Frage nicht Erst frage ich warum sie nicht aufgemacht haben

00:00:06.714 --> 00:00:13.469

Wir durften nicht Warum

00:00:14.596 --> 00:00:21.852

Wir waren Wärter wir mussten sie zusammenhalten wir konnten sie nicht weglaufen lassen

00:00:22.979 --> 00:00:30.651

Wären sie weggelaufen würden sie angeklagt werden

00:00:31.001 --> 00:00:36.024

Nein hätten wir aufgemacht würde ein Chaos enstehen wir hätten keine Ordnung schaffen können

00:00:37.449 --> 00:00:46.124

Es geschah alles so schnell es hat geschneit die Bomben das Feuer Alle fingen an zu schreien

00:00:46.581 --> 00:00:49.542

und es wurde immer schlimmer hätten wir sie rausgelassen dann wärden sie weglaufen

00:00:49.959 --> 00:00:53.922

Wir waren ja verantwortlich für sie

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.753

I don't know what you're asking The first thing I'm asking

00:00:04.837 --> 00:00:08.632

is why didn't you unlock the doors Obviously

00:00:08.716 --> 00:00:10.718

For the obvious reason

00:00:11.886 --> 00:00:14.013

We couldn't Why couldn't you

00:00:14.096 --> 00:00:16.932

We were guards

00:00:17.998 --> 00:00:20.519

Our job was to guard the prisoners

00:00:20.603 --> 00:00:22.897

We couldn't just let them escape

00:00:22.098 --> 00:00:26.233

I see And if they escaped then you'd be blamed

00:00:26.317 --> 00:00:28.736

you'd be charged you might even be executed

00:00:28.819 --> 00:00:30.905

No Well then

00:00:30.988 --> 00:00:34.241

If we'd opened the doors there would have been chaos

00:00:34.325 --> 00:00:37.998

How could we have restored order

00:00:37.161 --> 00:00:40.289

It happened so fast It was snowing The bombs

00:00:40.372 --> 00:00:43.542

The flames There were flames all over the village

00:00:43.626 --> 00:00:46.754

Then the screaming began and got worse and worse

00:00:46.837 --> 00:00:50.257

If they'd all come rushing out we couldn't just let them escape

00:00:50.341 --> 00:00:54.512

We couldn't We were responsible for them

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.071

Я не поняла вопроса

00:00:03.419 --> 00:00:06.338

Во первых я спросил почему вы не открыли дверь

00:00:06.464 --> 00:00:08.215

Это же очевидно

00:00:08.841 --> 00:00:10.176

По очевидной причине

00:00:11.886 --> 00:00:13.637

Мы не могли Почему

00:00:14.597 --> 00:00:16.557

Мы же были надзирательницами

00:00:17.224 --> 00:00:19.685

Наша задача охранять заключенных

00:00:20.895 --> 00:00:23.999

Мы не могли позволить им сбежать

00:00:23.189 --> 00:00:24.044

Понятно

00:00:24.523 --> 00:00:27.359

Если бы они сбежали в этом обвинили бы вас

00:00:27.443 --> 00:00:29.032

Нет Вас могли казнить

00:00:29.445 --> 00:00:31.322

Нет Так в чем же дело

00:00:32.156 --> 00:00:34.408

Если бы мы открыли двери начался бы хаос

00:00:35.999 --> 00:00:38.621

Мы бы не смогли навести порядок Всё произошло так быстро

00:00:38.746 --> 00:00:41.791

Шел снег взрывались бомбы кругом всё горело

00:00:41.999 --> 00:00:43.918

Вся деревня была в огне

00:00:44.126 --> 00:00:47.213

Крики становились всё громче

00:00:47.421 --> 00:00:49.298

Заключенные могли вырваться наружу

00:00:49.465 --> 00:00:53.469

Но мы не могли позволить им разбежаться Мы же отвечали за них

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.877

No sé lo que está preguntando

00:00:03.044 --> 00:00:06.589

Lo primero que pregunto es por qué no abrieron las puertas

00:00:06.756 --> 00:00:10.003

Es obvio Por la razón obvia

00:00:11.886 --> 00:00:14.555

No podíamos Por qué no podían

00:00:14.722 --> 00:00:17.001

Éramos guardias

00:00:17.267 --> 00:00:20.478

Nuestro trabajo era custodiar a las prisioneras

00:00:20.645 --> 00:00:23.998

No podíamos dejarlas escapar

00:00:23.189 --> 00:00:24.044

Ya veo

00:00:24.607 --> 00:00:27.527

Y si escapaban las culparían a ustedes estaban al cargo

00:00:27.694 --> 00:00:29.404

podrían ser ejecutadas

00:00:29.057 --> 00:00:31.447

Entonces

00:00:31.614 --> 00:00:34.826

Si hubiésemos abierto las puertas aquello habría sido un caos

00:00:34.993 --> 00:00:37.495

Cómo podríamos haber restablecido el orden

00:00:37.662 --> 00:00:39.414

Ocurrió muy deprisa Estaba nevando

00:00:39.058 --> 00:00:43.501

Las bombas las llamas Había llamas en todo el pueblo

00:00:43.668 --> 00:00:47.999

Entonces empezaron los gritos Eran cada vez peores

00:00:47.213 --> 00:00:50.027

Y si todas salían corriendo no podíamos dejarlas escapar

00:00:50.174 --> 00:00:51.968

No podíamos

00:00:52.135 --> 00:00:55.471

Éramos responsables de ellas

Movie Summary

The story of Michael Berg, a German lawyer who, as a teenager in the late 1950s, had an affair with an older woman, Hanna, who then disappeared only to resurface years later as one of the defendants in a war crimes trial stemming from her actions as a concentration camp guard late in the war. He alone realizes that Hanna is illiterate and may be concealing that fact at the expense of her freedom.
