——"It is night in Moscow already. And soon it will be dark here. Do you think we'll ever see the dawn in our lifetime?" Is there still a chance to see Dawn?)

——"When it comes in spring, we'll be on the move again. Keep the spririts up, Dr."

This is the last dialogue between the head of the Prime Minister’s Office and General Hoffman of the Race Affairs Office when the meeting is about to be separated. Looking at the white world in front of him, the civilian officials who have just discovered that they have been deceived. Lissen's expressions were dumb, and his heart was bleak and weak; while Hoffman, who was responsible for the implementation of the Nazi racial policy, had a relaxed and hopeful expression, without the shock and discomfort when he first heard the truth of the killing. The two people at this moment know that when their group of people leave from here, the "machine beast" mentioned in the meeting will be completely awakened by them, and they will madly and desperately lead them to the one they are longing for. The dawn of a "pure world"-this is exactly the "beautiful" expectation of all participants in this conference.

And in the Jewish concentration camps in Poland, Lithuania, and Russia that are thousands of miles away, there are millions or even tens of millions of Jews, looking straight through the narrow windows on the cold winter night. In the dark night sky, I silently prayed that I could see the dawn of spring as soon as possible. Although they don't know, most of them will not survive this long winter night, just because of the "beautifulness" that other people expect in their hearts...

Therefore, I can't help thinking, if the realization of a dream requires the sacrifice of another group of people's dreams, should I persist as the subject?

Humans are group animals. Many times when a person is in public, he will show a completely different side due to the influence of group emotions, lose individual thinking and fall into group blind obedience.

In the film, representatives from different regions and departments come from different areas, have different business backgrounds, and represent different interests. When freely speaking and expressing opinions at the meeting, everyone was not disturbed, so they were able to express a lot of dissatisfaction with Heydrich’s proposal based on their personal interests: the representative of the Prime Minister’s Office believed that Jews could not perform manual labor, so "let them work." The idea of ​​​​is not practical. The representative of the Race Office hoped to get leadership because he saw the huge business opportunities hidden in the sterilization program. The Polish representative blocked the plan of the Great Migration because he did not want to become a shelter. Legal experts were dissatisfied with explaining the deprivation of authority. Outlaws, representatives of the industrial sector dragged on and delayed time because of the need for a large amount of cheap labor, officers of the army's law enforcement team were angry because of the guilt caused by the killings, and the SS represented by Heydrich wanted to further consolidate. Power is contending with forces such as Goering and Bowman, so it is desperately implementing extremely radical measures... If this situation develops without restraint, then the conference will be reduced to a feather.

So the meal break started at the right time. In the first round of rest, the organizer Heydrich rejected the stubborn Prime Minister’s Office official’s request for a talk, but took the initiative to have a private conversation with jurists and law enforcement officers. He saw through the nature of jurists’ behavior and threatened them with intimidation. He understood The law enforcement officers were troubled by their inner moral confinement and used “dirty political rather than disciplined soldiers” to help them out, thus easily gaining the theoretical commanding heights and the support of the plan executors; and during the second round of rest, Hai Hai Derich only dealt with Collison's each individually. Not only did he point out that the latter was "hard to defeat" but "not impossible" from the beginning of the dialogue, but he also pierced the latter's hypocritical mask illusion and pointed out the latter's theory. Not only does it not conform to the reality of the country, but it is essentially as dirty and ugly as a bloody massacre. So just so let the opponent shut up.

When the meeting started again, the opponents began to mute, and the supporters began to frantically clamor, and scenes of support from the table began to appear frequently. The few people who had been silent and swayed gradually forgot their previous worries and small abacus, and fell into it together. In a frenzy.

Even if they are anesthetizing themselves, they are doing a "great cause" that shines through the annals of history, and their human nature still makes them subconsciously have to admit that they are doing the dirtiest, most indecent, and most shameless in human history. A stinking behavior for thousands of years. Therefore, the organizers of the meeting continued to work hard to remove the traces of the meeting, and even the record papers were burned; the representative of the Prime Minister’s Office asked privately whether the law enforcement officers had actually shot and killed nearly 30,000 Jews; the general of the Race Office lost control after hearing the horror of the massacre. I was so nervous in the toilet that my hands trembled; the conference delegates were shocked to collective silence when they heard that 60,000 people could be killed in one day; Eichmann, who calmly announced the method of killing and the number of people killed, was so nervous that he ran to the kitchen alone to drink water to stabilize his emotions during the meeting. It was also revealed by a colleague that I was frightened and fainted at that time... Therefore, no matter how distorted the external value scale, how righteous and righteous it looks, the moral mirror of one’s heart is always there, but sometimes it will Be covered in dust, and people choose not to wipe it.

From the beginning of the meeting, when Heydrich entered the hall, all the staff stood at attention and saluted, shouting "Heil Hilter". At the end of the meeting, all the staff stood around the conference table, stood at attention and saluted again, shouting long live Hitler. Although there were various disputes in the process, what Heydrich called "uniformity" was finally realized. From beginning to end, Heydrich always smiled. Even in the face of the humiliation of jurists and protests from government officials, he still squeezed out a smile, even publicly making verbal concessions and apologies, but in the end he All the participants were unified to his opinions, and the conference proposal was passed by a unanimous vote. Is it because he is kind enough? Is it because he knows the technique of compromise? Is it because of his high prestige? Obviously neither. His smile shows his confidence and ease of heart, and what gives him this is not his legal and moral advantages, but because he holds the power to ignore the law and the highly centralized system behind him. Only in this institutional environment can such a tacit understanding be reached: everyone at the meeting knows that their opinions will be “heard”, but only Heydrich’s decision will be “implemented”, so no matter what happens in the process How many opinions must be completed at the end of the meeting to complete self-transformation and sublimation, into the roar of the collective torrent.

At the beginning of the movie, the maid opened the curtains, and the light in the room changed from dark to bright; at the end of the movie, the housekeeper turned off the light, and the light in the room changed from bright to dark. Outside the house, the world was white, silent lakes, and silent jungles. Only Schubert's music flowed slowly in the world, as if nothing had changed, but everything was different.
