Czech voiceover: "In the building of the District Court in Litomerice, the extraordinary People's Court is in session. Across the courtyard, past the gallows, walks the criminal into the courtroom. He is Heinrich Jockl, one-time commander of the fortress of Terezin, notorious prison during the Occupation. He is accused of murder & manslaughter, of maltreatment of prisoners, and many other crimes. This was Jockl's kingdom of horrors: Terezin, the fortress whose thick walls guarded gruesome secrets. This is the fortress of the dead. The road of suffering. The last stopping place. The gate of death. Graves upon graves." | |
