Do you remember the scene when Sal Mineo has to explain what he did in Auschwitz to the Irgun leaders?

I remember the book more than the movie. I haven't seen the movie in probablly 20 years.

           "You say you got this dynamiting experience in the Warsaw Ghetto fighting Nazis.
            That's right.
            You blew up quite a few Nazis with this dynamite?
            All I could.
            Good.
            Now, return to Auschwitz, please.
            From the gas chambers, the bodies went where?
            The ovens.
            At Auschwitz, they had crematoriums only at the last.
            Before the installation of the ovens, what happened to the bodies?
            They buried them.
            How?
            In trenches and holes.
            -And who dug the holes? -I don't know.
            I ask you again, who dug the graves?
            I don't know.
            They had demolition squads.
            At least sometimes they did.
            To blow holes in the ground...
            ...then dump the bodies in.
            That is correct.
            Now may I tell you something, Dov Landau?
            At no time did the Jews use dynamite in the Warsaw Ghetto.
            They had no dynamite.
            Do you remember better now?
            Maybe.
            So it was not possible for you to learn the use of dynamite in the Warsaw Ghetto.
            You learned about dynamite in Auschwitz...
            ...making mass graves to receive the dead bodies of your people.
            True?
            Yes.
            Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of them.
            And you saved your own life by working in that camp as a Sonderkommando.
            -Correct? -Yes.
            It was the duty of those Jews who became Sonderkommandos...
            ...to shave the heads of other Jews.
            Yes.
            To remove dead bodies from the gas chambers.
            To collect gold fillings from their teeth.
            Yes!
            What could I do?
            We take into consideration that you were less than    when you entered Auschwitz.
            Even so, we must have the truth.
            Is there anything else?
            Yes.
            Then tell us.
            No, I won't tell you.
            Please, don't make me tell you.
            Kill me. I don't care.
            -I won't tell you. -Tell us.
            They used me.
            They used me...
            ...Like you use...
            ...a woman.
              You will repeat for me the following words:
              "l, Dov Landau...
              I, Dov Landau...
              "...do give my body, my brain, my soul and my being...
              ...do give my body, my brain, my soul and my being...
              "...without reservation or qualification...
              ...without reservation or qualification...
              "...to the freedom fighters of the Irgun.
              ...to the freedom fighters of the Irgun.
              "Under torture, even unto death...
              Under torture, even unto death...
              "...I will never divulge the name of a fellow member of the Irgun."
              ...I will never divulge the name of a fellow member of the Irgun."
