Breathe. |
00:01:17.995 - 00:01:19.167 |
We should never forget
how young they were. |
00:01:26.837 - 00:01:30.512 |
My father,
Stephan Gold, |
00:01:33.093 - 00:01:36.017 |
was the youngest
unit commander in Mossad. |
00:01:36.179 - 00:01:38.853 |
David Peretz had his 29th
birthday while on the mission. |
00:01:40.183 - 00:01:44.859 |
When my mother crossed
through the checkpoint, |
00:01:48.025 - 00:01:50.119 |
into Soviet-controlled
East Berlin, |
00:01:50.193 - 00:01:52.537 |
she was only 25. |
00:01:53.572 - 00:01:55.540 |
They'd had the courage to
confront an unimaginable evil. |
00:01:58.410 - 00:02:01.789 |
A man whose
sadistic experiments |
00:02:03.707 - 00:02:05.926 |
left thousands
disfigured or dead, |
00:02:06.209 - 00:02:09.634 |
who became known by a name which
defiles the annals of medicine, |
00:02:10.631 - 00:02:15.102 |
the Surgeon of Birkenau. |
00:02:16.261 - 00:02:18.355 |
Their mission had
been to capture him |
00:02:21.892 - 00:02:24.771 |
and return him
to Israel to stand trial. |
00:02:24.853 - 00:02:27.902 |
Instead, it ended on the
streets of East Berlin. |
00:02:30.609 - 00:02:34.455 |
These three dared to relive
Israel's greatest nightmare, |
00:02:36.948 - 00:02:41.670 |
her greatest pain. |
00:02:42.579 - 00:02:44.081 |
And in the simple act
of facing the monster, |
00:02:45.666 - 00:02:48.419 |
they helped to vanquish it. |
00:02:49.336 - 00:02:51.759 |
This book is dedicated
to my inspiration, |
