Who can't believe it. Nobody expected it.
Jews defending themselves.

To be able to buy food..

Stay here, l'll go.

He groans.
We came to say goodbye.
We're going to Otwocks with my mother.
The baby is alredy there, it's safer.
They say that the uprising is imminent.
That dreadful Szalas should be killed.
He begs for money everywhere in your name.
People give generously.
He has piled up a tidy amount.
Cough
Oh, Lord !
His liver is as big as a football.
His gall bladder is inflamed.
But he will survive.
l'll try to find him some levulose.
You'll come again ?
H'm, who knows ?
Doctor...
Thank you. Get some rest.
- Thank you for coming.
