1:10:16
Most important was to see
if you could get up in the morning.
1:10:22
First you touched your bunkmate
to see if he was still warm.
1:10:28
If he was still alive.
1:10:31
Maybe you could use his boots.
1:10:37
After a while they started sending
guys home when they couldn't work.
1:10:45
Lots of the guys tried to get sick
'cause they wanted to go home.
1:10:50
They drank salt water.
1:10:53
And they died.
1:11:00
The ones who didn't get dystrophy
and could still walk
1:11:04
were sent out in work brigades.
1:11:08
They sent me as an expert
to the open-cast mines in Siberia.
1:11:16
Did you ever think about home?
1:11:22
I ...
1:11:25
I stopped believing in it.
1:11:28
I stopped thinking about you.
1:11:31
I just counted the winters
1:11:35
and thought about eating.
1:11:39
Now and then, the farmers
smuggled us something to eat.
1:11:42
And on the way back,
1:11:45
a Russian took me to his house.
1:11:48
He showed me a picture
1:11:51
with a ...
1:11:54
black ribbon around it.
A picture of his son.
