Despite the pleading of Burke and the witness, Judge Silver dismisses the prosecution's case. A devastated Burke tells Ann that, while it is too late to save the victims, he thinks that it is important to remember what happened to them. He accuses Ann of living in a fantasy world and urges her to visit the bridge where Mishka threw his victims into the Danube River. At the time, the Red Army was storming Berlin and the Second World War was effectively over, yet Hungarians were still massacring their Jewish countrymen. An infuriated Ann screams "Some Hungarians! Not my father!"
