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, 00:02:55.975 - 00:03:01.607
