Justice Jackson at Nuremberg (1945) on Nazi Atrocities Against Jews

Film and audio excerpts from U.S. chief prosecutor Justice Robert H. Jackson's November 21, 1945, opening statement before the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg: (1) Jackson's classic first sentences; (2) Jackson speaks, as defendants listen, about Nazi persecution of Jews; and (3) Jackson quotes from defendant Hans Frank's diary about persecution of Jews in Poland, and from Gen. Stroop's report, leather-bound and photo-illustrated, on the 1943 destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto. For more information, visit http://www.roberthjackson.org.

Tribal Jew vs. Jew look it up

[conn6m]

Well, personally I don't think anybody came out of world war 2 very well. The poles remember marched into Czechoslovakia in 1938 after the British and French appeasement - and they were bloody awfull to the jews in their own country.

I think people who watch this vid should seek out the actual german report 'The Warsaw Getto no Longer exists' by Jurgen Stroop for a real look into the mind of a pychotic murderer. It's been translated into English.

@Ulrieka4U Noticed that you are from Poland. Guess you are too young to remember the Warsaw Ghetto. Just one aspect of what the nazis did to your country.

@Ulrieka4U Why? are you a neo-nazi or something? For neo-nazis seem to think that they were all innocent. The nazis should be on trial. PERIOD.

Are you Anti semetic?

Who is the hateful, ignorant bastard who counts for the one "dislike" of this video?

What is the purpose for those random words that flash at the bottom of the screen? They appear where subtitles would normally go, but the words shown in this video have no bearing on what is being spoken except in cases of rare coincidence.

@Ulrieka4U I think what you would want to say is that BOTH the Germans and Russians should be on trial. Then again, the defence of Karl Donitz proved that the United States had broken international law too; so should they all be on trial- even one of the victors? I hear what you are trying to project, and to a certain extent I agree with you. But the Russians were among the victors, and only the losers get punished.

Why are the subtitles wrong?

Stalin was Hitler's ally till 1941 and he had killed more people but he had never been tried for crimes against humanity.
