RURAL POLAND - SMALL DEPOT - DAY A small depot set down against monotonous countryside in the far hinterlands of rural Poland. A folding table on the wood- plank platform. Pens, ink well, forms. A three year old girl holding the hand of woman watches a clerk register her name and those of two or three families of farmers standing before him. Finishing, he motions to an SS guard nearby to escort them to a waiting, empty, idling passenger train. The people climb aboard as the clerk gathers his paperwork. He folds up his little table, signals with a wave to the engineer, and climbs up after them. The nearly-empty train pulls out of the sleepy station. EXT.
