Breathe. |
00:01:19.012 - 00:01:20.172 |
We should never forget
how young they were. |
00:01:27.854 - 00:01:31.517 |
My father,
Stephan Gold, |
00:01:34.094 - 00:01:37.029 |
was the youngest
unit commander in Mossad. |
00:01:37.197 - 00:01:39.859 |
David Peretz had his 29th
birthday while on the mission. |
00:01:41.167 - 00:01:45.866 |
When my mother crossed
through the checkpoint, |
00:01:49.042 - 00:01:51.135 |
into Soviet-controlled
East Berlin, |
00:01:51.211 - 00:01:53.543 |
she was only 25. |
00:01:54.581 - 00:01:56.515 |
They'd had the courage to
confront an unimaginable evil. |
00:01:59.419 - 00:02:02.786 |
A man whose
sadistic experiments |
00:02:04.691 - 00:02:06.921 |
left thousands
disfigured or dead, |
00:02:07.227 - 00:02:10.628 |
who became known by a name
which defiles the annals of medicine, |
00:02:11.631 - 00:02:16.091 |
the Surgeon of Birkenau. |
00:02:17.270 - 00:02:19.329 |
Their mission had
been to capture him |
00:02:22.876 - 00:02:25.777 |
and return him
to Israel to stand trial. |
00:02:25.845 - 00:02:28.871 |
Instead, it ended on the streets of East Berlin. |
00:02:31.618 - 00:02:35.452 |
These three dared to relive
Israel's greatest nightmare, |
00:02:37.957 - 00:02:42.656 |
her greatest pain. |
00:02:43.596 - 00:02:45.063 |
And in the simple act
of facing the monster, |
00:02:46.666 - 00:02:49.430 |
they helped to vanquish it. |
00:02:50.336 - 00:02:52.770 |
This book is dedicated
to my inspiration, |
