So... I am to speak to you about
my work with the adoption agency.
1:06:34
Correct.
1:06:35
I don't mind.
1:06:38
What I did may have been
slightly illegal, but...
1:06:41
..I brought happiness
to so many people, huh?
1:06:45
Now tell me, if you will,
how you came to work for this agency.
1:06:54
In the spring of 1963...
1:06:56
..I was contacted by someone I knew
in the Comrades Organisation.
1:07:00
Who?
1:07:02
Frau Maloney will not answer that.
1:07:04
They'd helped me after the war...
1:07:07
..and wanted me to return the favour
by getting a job in an adoption agency.
1:07:11
Did they say why?
1:07:13
If you let me finish, you'll find out.
1:07:19
The Rush-Gaddis agency hired me.
1:07:22
The Comrades Organisation
was interested in rejects.
1:07:26
Couples who were denied children
because the husband was too old.
1:07:30
I looked for applications from families
with Nordic Christian backgrounds,...
1:07:36
..in which the husband was born
between 1910 and 1914, and the wife...
1:07:41
..between 1933 and 1937.
1:07:45
The husband had to work
in something like the civil service.
1:07:49
And both spouses
had to be in perfect health.
1:07:52
- Did they explain why they wanted this?
- That information is not relevant.
1:07:57
I was expected to obey my orders,
not to question them.
