  • The various Imagine Spots Peter has of Fruma's death.
  • A terrified, brutally tortured Graciela sobbing. That being said, props to her for not giving in until Klaus plays the Good Cop/Bad Cop routine by appealing to her as a son who just wants his father back.
  • Fruma and her children saying goodbye to Peter outside the courthouse.
  • The prosecution's opening arguments to Eichmann's trial, quoted word for word from the real one.
    Gideon Hausner: When I stand before you here, Judges of Israel, to lead the Prosecution of Adolf Eichmann, I am not standing alone. With me are six million accusers. But they cannot rise to their feet and point an accusing finger towards him who sits in the dock and cry: "J'accuse." For their ashes are piled up on the hills of Auschwitz and the fields of Treblinka and are strewn in the forests of Poland. Their graves are scattered throughout the length and breadth of Europe. Their blood cries out, but their voice is not heard. Therefore I will be their spokesman.
  • The footage from the concentration camps, especially the clip of small children showing their prisoner number tattoos.
  • Peter's mother being distraught over accidentally breaking the glass of the framed picture of Fruma.
