"i was sitting with the chief german justice during the auschwitz case as a spectator.was a witness for the defense, a free man. he told the court's stories. the judge said next to me, who was this man? i said this is a nice acquaintance of mine. he is only responsible for 400,000 jews. why is he running around? i said because he is a defense witness now. he came back when he was through. he stopped and said, how are you? i said we have both grown older. later i talked with a reserve judge who said this is very bad for us. with him running free and we should judge the little ss men who killed two. originally sentenced to 25 years in 1949, he was also released from landsburg prison in 1951." 70 years after the nuernberg trials it remains a great deal of confusion surrounding these revolutionary trials. they certainly served as a warning to rogue political leaders that under the right set of political circumstances they might find themselves accountable. however, other aspects of the nuernberg legacy remain uncertain. the 1990's were a heady time for those who believed a

state for communities and local government. 72 years ago the world learned of the liberation of auschwitzt the devastation wrought upon people in europe, we swore that we would never let genocide happen again. we failed. genocide happen in cambodia, it happened in rwanda, the 20th century ended with genocide in bosnia. the 21st—century began with genocide in darfur war. faced not only with this unimaginable evil but also with our repeat of failure to learn from it, it is easy to ask how can life go on? i find the answer in the words of one young victim of the holocaust, what she wrote in her diary. i still believe people are really good at heart. anne frank was right. people can be good. people can be better. wejust need right. people can be good. people can be better. we just need to right. people can be good. people can be better. wejust need to be reminded of ourfailings can be better. wejust need to be reminded of our failings and not permitted to forget what happens when hatred is left to grow unchecked. you can see the seriousness of the comments there. the national holocaust memori

there was, in act knowledging the anniversary of the shut down of auschwitz, the largest nazi concentration camp, there was a holocaust statement that was written by the white house. and it certainly paid tribute to those who were lost in the holocaust. but it did not specifically talk about jews who were killed in the holocaust. and that was something in a a lot of people found very startling because you did not see that with president obama. you didn't see that with president george w. bush. sean spicer tried to say no, that's not -- you know, he was saying george w. bush didn't have it in his statement. abbey phillips of the "washington post" pointed out actually he did. talk about this, this back and forth. the white house says i wasn't an oversight. what's going on here? >> again, sean spicer throughout this press conference effectively tried to downgrade anybody's concerns about what concerned, whether it was on the immigration order or steve bannon being appointed as a principle to the national security council or whether it's this holocaust memo. the holocaust memo was found to be q

you yourself travels for the third time recently to auschwitz.re? they are almost too deep for words. one of my colleagues there said that took us to the edge of words. i think the most profound thing that struck me was the sheer mechanistic efficiency and the normality for those who did these terrible things, the accountants, the doctors, the architects. they just the accountants, the doctors, the architects. theyjust did their jobs, and they never really focused on what those jobs were. and that job was executing millions of people. it was absolute destruction of humanity, and their own humanity, though they didn't know it. that was very powerfully seen. and i think that has to say to us, we must be alert and we must speak out. the secretary of state for communities and local government began his speech by saying that the holocaust did not begin in a gas chamber, it began with words. isn't that right, that the way we treat each other as common humanity is where these kind of evil actions actually start? you are so of evil actions actually start

abby weiner is a romanian jew, who survived auschwitz but lost his parents there. and he was honored by voices for hope at this holocaust remembrance ceremony at a synagogue in west hartford, attended by 500, 700 people. a massive outpouring of support for him and for the values that are represented by people who come here as immigrants fleeing persecution and violence, as he did in nazi germany. and he said the words came before the bullets and gas chambers. the words of nazi germany came before the bullets and gas chambers. words have consequences. edicts and orders have consequences. and when i spoke, i told my own story, a proud story of my father, who came here also from nazi germany in 1935. he was 1 years old. he spoke vitter -- he was 17 years old. he spoke irrelevantly no -- he spoke virtually no english. he knew almost no one. and this country, the greatest in the history of the world, gave him a chance to succeed. he was a proud american. how sad and ashamed he would be today to see actions by the president of the united states that ban a group from comi
