We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

MANUEL SANDOVAL (left) is another refugee from Europe, who escaped with the help of the antiNazi German, Belgian and French underground. The memories that torture him are not of his own sufferings alone. Rather, he thinks of the comrades "who did not live to know again what it is to feel the sunshine of a quiet, peaceful day: to know again what it is to feel clean, washed, dressed in decent clothing." He thinks of them every day, "when I eat good food, when 1 drink a glass of good clear water." This is what Manuel wants to tell as many people as he can reach on his lecture tour: "Your brothers died so that people forever may have the right to eat good food, and drink clear water and work in peace. We must see that no one forgets. Every person who lives in a free nation today lives there by the grace of another human being's courage and mortal sacrifice. Russian, British, Chinese, American, Dutch, all antiNazis everywhere . . . each day with their lives they buy a free future. How can we ever forget?" (Played by Michael Ingram) NATHAN, "before Hitler" was a genial warm-hearted young German, destined by nature for a happy and useful existence. He became one ■of the persecuted. His fiancee was killed by the Nazis. Like a few others in the world's fantastic reallife drama of today, he was able to find his way to a place within the Nazi Machine. In the deadly precarious position of an assumed Nazi who tries to fight them from within their own ranks, he is in Copenhagen now as a Gestapo agent, on the trail of Torben's secret station. His real purpose is to help the station. With tragic and terrible reason to hate, Nathan has still been guided by the words of an old friend, a Rabbi, who was later murdered. "Remember what one of the world's greatest leaders said when they took His life . . . 'Forgive them, for they know not what they do.' You see? It is ignorance that makes men cruel. Turn your hatred into a relentless fight against ignorance and cruelty." (Played by Ian Martin) 28
