. -- american nazi party remember when we dealt with the political spectrum, we had neo-nazis, the american nazi party is way out on the right wing. the more out on the buildable spectrum, the more -- on the political spectrum, the more inclined to violence you are. the american nazi party filed for a permit to march through this town in illinois on adolf h marchs birthday and a through the jewish section of town in full nazi uniforms. the city said no, we are not giving you the permit. the nazis said you are violating our freedom of assembly and our freedom of speech. by marching on adolf hitler's birthday, we are expressing our political view. it was denied. they sued. nazinow what the american part y did? they got the american civil liberties union to defend them. the aclu -- are you familiar with it? the american civil liberties union is a very liberal group made up essentially of lawyers and they take cases that they feel are right and argue them pro bono, for free. thenazis on the right go to american civil liberties union on the left and they get a jewish lawyer. they say to him, we

and they said that the nazi party alone had the right to rule germany and the right to destroy the party'sies. >> their rise to power was based on fraud, deceit, intimidation and coercion. culminating finally in terror and flame. into that flame went the democratic constitution of the republic and the freedom of the german people. for the fires set by the nazis extended to the very reich. a witness who formerly held a high position in the berlin police administration tells of his investigation into the fire. >> to speak briefly and to state the facts, first of all, we ascertain that quite generally, hitler had wished for a large scale propaganda campaign. he took on the job of making the necessary proposals and it was goebbels who first thought of setting the rice stack on fire. a group of 10 reliable was made ready. and he was informed about every detail of the plan. it was expected from goering and he gave his assurances that he should do so that the police would be -- they would take up a false trail. >> using the fire as a pretext for seizing power, the nazi conspirators lost no time i

the nazi already does very well in the election -- party does very well in the election in 1924. they are losing a lot when the economy is getting better. they go way down again and then it takes the depression for the nazis to get the most votes they will ever get. it would be hard to deny that myself. what was the second question? >> anti-semitism in germany opposed to eastern russia and france pre-hitler. >> it would be a guess going into the late 19th century. i would go back to the lectures we did on austria, france, germany, but i didn't really look into a lot that clearly from the trial. i have great respect for someone who takes it on their whole life. this is one year. looking back to the late 19th century -- i'd have to think about it. i don't know off the top of my head. i have a guess, but i don't know myself to say how much worse it is. france and austria -- i mean, austria had the national socialists well before the germans. a lot of the germans were looking elsewhere. a lot of the nazi party members were not even german. austria, egypt, it was in america for a long

this was once a center of the nazi party in munich and here where the nazis planned the systematic seizure of jewish assets today a belated restitution for those crimes is being worked on. the backs of documents that have arrived at the central institute for our history in munich are a treasure trove for the art world provenance researcher michael hop has received the entire archive of the uli as buller our dealership from the years 1933 to 1945 to work through. it could be a huge opportunity to locate lost artwork from jewish collections. as this that's i finish. this can be like looking for a needle in a haystack we have at least $1500.00 photos like this to digitize. we have a total of nearly 40000 of burleigh's transactions that we're working on and figuring out so we have a lot of work ahead of us i mean my god performs the. order . pick up some big talk. a little from asa. to hoot and stein james blish woulda fritz goodman i got to 0 in on. these are important names but we must always remember that they're simply representative of very very many faiths and the nazi era. by them given

he knew of the nazi party.he was not a participant it in, not a member of it at that point in time. but then because of the great depression, a lot of car companies were abandoning grand prix racing, including mercedes and auto union, so by 1933, early '34, rudy was -- had a terrible car accident, so it was kind of crippled, had just lost his wife in a skiing accident and had -- the only thing left in his life was racing and getting back into rating, and with the rise of hitler and his investment in automobile racing and grand prix racing, he opportunity presented for rudy was join in the nazi party, become a representative, or never race again. and i think the answer to that question for him was, not even a reluctant one, even though he didn't believe in the ideology or even necessarily -- definitely not the sort of anti-semitism. but i don't think he hesitated. i think the joined -- i know he joined straightaway. the tried, he pitched, did everything he could to get back into shape to join the team. because r

many of the other big names in the nazi party had a ready disappeared by that point. or like at all, hitler had committed suicide. nuremberg was the site of the annual party rallies here, propaganda, events designed to showcase the nazis power. those who had once enjoyed the adulation of the crowds here at the rally grounds when now called to account for their actions a historical 1st. never before had the leaders of a state been forced to face trial for their actions. the germans were to be shown how a democracy works. alfred toma a retired judge was obliged by the americans to defend alfred always in bag. he was chosen because there weren't enough lawyers deemed sufficiently on the tainted cannot. tahan sometimes accompanied her father to the courtroom. it was a tense and oppressive atmosphere as far as i was concerned. and filled with the sense of disgrace. he oddny atmosphere. the charges leveled against the main war. criminals were conspiring against world peace planning and waging a war of aggression, war crimes and crimes against humanity. none of the defendant

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 t

there is a nazi party that was hitler. in germany you can make the case. there was some truth to it that if you get rid of the nazi elements in the government. you get rid of all atheism sure we could be restored to a decent country after all it was the country of mozart, all that. there was a real culprit. the nazi party. >> do you not to five. >> in japan it was not so simple because there is no equivalent to the hot nazi party. there is no hitler. it was no holocaust even though it's eight enormous about of killing in china, also southeast asia. there was no deliberate systematic attempt to exterminate people. there have to be another explanation. -- militarism, there was something deeply rotten about japanese culture. so why germany could do not survive and revive the best of german culture, the feeling amongst the rather ignorant allies after the war was that there's something so rotten about japanese culture that is fatalistic, warrior like. the whole culture has to be turned upside down. so could be you keep place. it -- would have to be manned. ever
