SS officer:
You're so beautiful. I'd like to get you in bed. Are you a polack? You! Are you also one of those filthy communists?
Sophie:
I am a pole! I was born in Cracow! I am not a Jew. Neither are my children! They're not Jews. They are racially pure. I am a Christian. I am a devout Christian.
SS officer:
You are not a communist? You are a believer.
Sophie:
Yes sir, I believe in Christ.
SS officer:
You believe in Christ the redeemer?
Sophie:
Yes.
SS officer:
Did He not say... "Suffer the children, come unto me?" You may keep one of your children.
Sophie:
I beg your pardon?
SS officer:
You may keep one of your children. The other must go away.
Sophie:
You mean, I have to choose?
SS officer:
You are a Polack, not a Yid. That gives you a privilege, a choice.
