:21:00
I wanted to see a place
where reconciliation seemed possible.
:21:04
They may not run my article.
:21:07
Possibly.
:21:09
Anyway, it's for myself.
:21:13
Who's that next to Kafka in your office?
:21:16
Someone like you, maybe.
:21:18
Hannah Arendt.
:21:21
Her friend Sholem said
she looked like 12 synagogues.
:21:25
Under the Ottoman Empire...
:21:28
the sitting room was rented to what
wasn't yet called the Jewish Agency.
:21:32
When I arrived,
they hung her portrait in homage.
:21:36
You should read
the articles she wrote in the 1950s.
:21:40
They're enlightening.
:21:46
Your grandfather....
:21:49
In 1943, when you were a student,
you hid another young man...
:21:53
and his fiancée.
:21:54
They were wanted by the Vichy police.
:21:57
My mother was born in your...
:22:02
in your garret in 1945...
:22:06
then they emigrated.
:22:09
Later, you were awarded
the title of "The Righteous."
:22:13
But you turned it down.
:22:16
You were applying to Normale Sup'...
:22:18
and you said it was normal.
:22:23
Possibly.
:22:25
Now we want to organize a meeting.
:22:29
Not with the French diplomat,
but with a free man...
:22:32
if you've remained one.
:22:35
Not a just conversation, just a conversation.
:22:39
No military or political solutions.
:22:41
Just basic problems.
:22:46
Psychology and ethics, nothing else.
:22:51
Even if I live in New York most of the time...
:22:55
I have constant nightmares.
:22:57
But a friend from Haifa says,
when he dreams...
:22:59
he dreams not about the enemy,
but about himself.
