coming out reports, it looks at the post for nuremberg trials. i'm rebecca, written in the name from maine, and the entire news team can't, thanks very much for it was the 1st international tribunal in history. the number of trials 75 years ago, high ranking officers of the nazi regime of morning. judging by the allied forces, were the 1st criminals to be held accountable for their crimes. for the measure,

count them on getting rid of a pair earlier. frazier. our 2 part series, the 3rd reich. the dog starts nov 12th. on d, w. germany in 1945, hitler was dead. his nazi regime had taken the lives of 6000000 jews. the country's leading representatives were to be held accountable for their actions by an international military tribunal for the 1st time in world history, $24.00 high ranking nazis were charged and made to stand trial in the german city of moore and back to school. with that plus

a slew of students. i don't think you can consider the holocaust in terms of classical justice at all. that's in the end, there's no forgiving what happened. that's high school saying this, but at least the perpetrators could be tried in court. how do the victims and the children of the war criminals view the nuremberg trials, 75 years on the nominees, my name is paid to johan, god, those who in 1944, we were all deported to auschwitz when my entire family was murdered. there goes wrong. i'm nicholas tongue, the son of hans fung hitler's deputy in occupied poland. he was the governor general and politically responsible for every murder committed there between

19391945. so if you can not, my name is clay not to play in. my maiden name is toma and my. my father was the assigned defense counsel for a flute holes in back. hitler's chief idealogue of loopholes and bag. and the 1st deputy in poland. hans funk were among the leading nazis who were in the dock in nuremberg on nov. 20th, 1945, many other high ranking nazis had gone into hiding or like hitler and his propaganda minister use of google. those had committed suicide. the trials were held in iran, back of all places. the city where the nazi party had staged its rallies, where the fascist had flexed their muscles. now for the 1st time in history, a state's rulers were to be held personally responsible for their crimes by an

international tribunal. the 4 war time allied powers, the us, the soviet union, britain and france, had agreed to this even before the hostilities ceased in what might be called an irony of history. nuremberg, the palace of justice, was left virtually undamaged by the war room. $600.00, the largest in the criminal court, was remodeled to accommodate the trial of the century. i could told a retired judge was asked by the americans to defend a flood walls and bag. there were too few lawyers who hadn't been compromised during the nazi era. loon, who was 17 at the time later, accompanied her father to the trial on several occasions and mind my own father was picked up by a jeep. it was the cia she and i need

a few hours later he returned and said, i've been called on to be the court appointed defense counsel for 2 accused. who still don't have any defense, lawyers, enough kind tide to go on mind. my father was very distressed and said, i had no other choice i had to except for nicholas funk. the trials marked the abrupt end of a carefree childhood. his father, hans frank, hitler's deputy, and occupied poland was one of the major war criminals. he was called the butcher of poland. a fact that didn't escape nicholas who was just 6 at the time of the trial after school, someone taunted me minister minister gas canister, because i was the son of a rush minister. that wasn't so bad. another said, hey mickey, that's what they called me,

your dad's going to hang soon. all i said was, yes. more than 600 journalists from around the world followed the nuremberg trials. do new or do you mushy. all you could hear was the translators machines. and i if a need for me, it was a tense, oppressive atmosphere. yeah. that was also charged with shame. most fear the response to the major war criminals were indicted on the following charges. conspiring to commit crimes against peace planning, initiating and waging a war of aggression participating in war crimes and crimes against humanity. because i mentioned to 80 all of the accused pleaded

not guilty. petain, god was just 14 years old when he was sent to auschwitz in 1944, along with his mother and his little sister. both of them were killed in the gas chambers survived for 4 with girls. so i followed the proceedings and was gratified to see that at least in the main war, criminals were put in the dark by the allies. and that in the end, or they got the punishment they deserved. during the trials testimony from witnesses and documents showed that the jewish victims had been murdered systematically by all these corpses, died of suffocation. but the major war criminals denied responsibility for the killings. the accused didn't exactly cover themselves in

glory at the nuremberg trials. they denied responsibility and blamed everything on their superiors. they were just following orders. they pinned it all on their dead leader had learned this. they tried to deny everything. and then in the trial, they were shown films of the concentration camps with the mountains of corpses. and even killing was stunning. you could see that there is a doctor to houma for the defendant rosenberry for alclad, toma, an avowed opponent of the nazi regime, who now had to defend a nazi war. criminal proceedings were ruling on dusty behind. if i was a real shock for everyone involved, basically all of the lawyers because they'd never suspected the dimension of the

crime. but action nish, they didn't know the extent of the atrocities committed at auschwitz, birkenau. she stood tall back in both us. my father certainly didn't. it was conducted with the so many germans only learned the full extent of the nazis crimes during the trial, including those committed by nicholas fox father. so i have the feeling that he was rightfully charged them for these because i saw photos of the corpses of the concentration camps, including the bodies of children who were my age at the time. and that shocked me because it only said underneath them, poland, i thought poland belong to us, the funk family. my oldest brother norman saw the photos and he went to our mother

and said, mom, if the photos are real, dad doesn't stand a chance of. you can, you show us on october 1st, 1946, the verdicts were announced of the accused 3 were acquitted. 3 received lifetime sentences and 4 were given prison sentences 12 were sentenced to death. the executions took place, not long afterwards. in the trial court's former gym. you know, i saw it at the cinema. they showed that they're not how they were hanging about them wanting in their coffins with the white and black stripe robe around their necks. i thought they all deserved to wear those neckties is a good 12 more trials took place at the u.s. military tribunal in iran, back of the $185.00 additional defendants. $24.00 were initially

sentenced to death. we need i don't think that we germans back then or even later on, condemned those criminals. the allies did it for us. if vice neatest v d. she applies. i don't know how those trials would have gone in a german court. after the last of the american led trials, few attempts were made to capture and prosecute other nazi war criminals. the world was preoccupied by the cold war, and germans once again had the say in their own courtrooms. so many former nazis remained in positions of authority in the young federal republic of germany. and many of the others who had blood on their hands were never caught

after being led in the direction of democracy by the allies. the victors, who freed us, it would really have been good to clean house and charge everyone. but naturally, people didn't want that. especially those guilty of crimes when they used their connections to prevent that. and then the supreme court exonerated all of the judges teach ya. the justice system never really cleaned house. the old judges and department heads were back again too and sitting on the constitutional court and cost still, the nuremberg trials were a historic milestone and they later pave the way for the creation of the international criminal court in the hague was i and she give

us poor g.p.s. on the info, but you only positive thing to come out of my father's criminal life. was due to him. those 4 indictments were invented or found to put people like him on trial to, to always carries a photo of his father who was sentenced to death and hanged whenever he feels just the tiniest sense of pity for his father. he thinks about the images of auschwitz, and that restores his belief that justice was served at the norm. bad trials

style. modern female restoration, retro classic custom, a power luxury well suited to lovers of high price. like judy read. these works of art, using stamps. not brushes impeccably captured by frederico artists with extraordinary technique who creates a perfect combination of time 16

literature invites us to see people in particular. you know the books on you tube we are living during the most extraordinary years.
