'' " He goes onstage clad as Hitler and satirizes him , knowing he will have to flee . Zeisig learns Meyer has been arrested and deported to Oranienburg concentration camp . Equipped with a forged passport , a fake beard and an assumed name , Zeisig leaves Germany and eventually enters the Soviet Union . His goal is still Hollywood .
