( laughs ) >> stahl: on saturdayher son jeff held what would be his last get-together. nothing seemed out of the ordinary, to the extent this is ordinary. ten-year-old joseph was running in and out of the house. >> joseph hall: i'm going outside. >> stahl: all the kids were. dad even took some of them to see his nazi glow-in-the-dark t- shirt with its "ss" insignia. >> wow. >> jeff hall: it's the little things in life. >> stahl: this is the last recorded image of jeff hall alive. after people left that night, the family watched a movie, "yogi bear," as jeff slept on the couch. the others went upstairs to bed. then, at 4:02 a.m... >> 9-1-1 emergency. >> krista hall: my son shot my husband! i need an ambulance. he's bleeding. >> how old is your son? >> krista hall: ten. >> how old is your son? >> krista hall: ten. oh, god! >> stahl: you were the first detective at the scene after the murder, is that correct? >> greg rowe: that's correct. >> stahl: detective greg rowe saw jeff hall dead on the couch. he says little jose

my father was in czechoslovakia when the nazis marched in 1939. my mother, i found from a yellow pad where she was describing. my father died sometime before come and she wanted to tell people about who he was. she wrote something. the whole family was surprised because my mother had never wrote anything that we can tell. she had her own english style. it was very interesting to find this yellow pad sumac would your mother say? >> my father had gone to prague to see if he could get a stamp on a passport to get out, and they have generally been hiding and not going anywhere. they had sent me to be with my grandmother in a little town outside of prague. my mother tried to figure out, she wrote that my father had gone around and was a little bit of bribery, they had managed to get a stamp to get out. then they got my grandmother to bring me into prague and everybody just had one suitcase and they got on the train to get out. as she said, that was the last time they ever saw any members of their family. it was accidental in many ways. >> a terrible ch

a very high nazi official, some people say number three. he was somebody that actually invented the concept of the holocaust and the final solution, and he was somebody that was supposed to be transferred on to france and take an even larger role, having already done what he thought he needed to do in sec, -- czechoslovakia. so he was a general winly horrible barbarian. a decision was made by the government in exile it would be good for him to be assassinated. the slovacs in london, a group of military people that were there that had also escaped, and some of them flew with the raf, the royal air force, and wanted to be helpful in the allied effort. there were real questions how they fit in and would there be a role for czechoslovakia and real questions -- -- this is a lesson -- who the government in exile would be recognized at all because it meant repudiating munich the british government didn't want to do that, and there's some legal issues, and so here's president and young peopler like my father were working for recognition as were the

the barbarity of the nazis and all the things.and also the other part that i'd put myself back into -- they were very young. my mother was 29, and my father was 30. and what i believe from knowing them and knowing especially my father, my father was -- they were a great generation, ann, because this was -- czechoslovakia was a new country. it had begun in 1918. it was a democratic country. my father was very much a supporter of that democracy and a young diplomat. and they knew that they were going to try to set up a government in exile in london and try to figure out how to get their country back. and so it was kind of not just to save me, but a patriotic move, i think, to be with the, those who wanted to take their country back. i also do think -- and, again, speculation -- that nobody imagined that everybody would be dead, you know, that they would never see them again, that, you know, they would not have a chance to come back. >> host: your father was in charge of the bbc, of the broadcast that went over the bbc with news back

soon he realized that with the people in power, the nazis, that was almost impossible. his meetings with hitler were incredibly stilted. and he became so disgusted with what was going on, particularly after the night of the long knives when hitler murdered so many of his own followers, that he wanted to have as litted to do with the government and party as possible. which on a human level is very commendable in many ways for u.s. ambassadors serving in the country means that also he was very limited in what he could and could not do. the other frustrating part of it, as you say, his reports to the state department about his displeasure was treated -- there was a sense, why isn't he talking to these nazis more? also, again, the sentiment in the department with the exception of people like george messersmith and others. that we can't let things get too far out of hand. we don't want to get in another conflict. and those who like messersmith -- dodd didn't immediately predict a conflict. somebody like messersmith predicted a conflict like william shira was of the journalis

why isn't he talking to the nazis more. again the sentiment in the department with the exception of george messersmith and others. we can't let things get too far out of hand. we don't want another conflict. dodd didn't immediately have contact. somebody like messersmith predicted a conflict like william shira was earlier. they were seen as people who were just trying to bring bad news that no one wanted to hear. thank you very much.

use zajac line be gas pellets to liquidate people in gas chambers nobody wants to be linked to the nazis we can all agree that was among the worst regimes that ever existed in humanity and it's easy to point the finger at the nazis and say how terrible they were but the historical antecedents of the american death penalty today come in large part from the nazis who is coral brand no american knows hitler's personal physician but he gave us the idiology of using a needle to kill people in the name of the law because it was easier for those who didn't who put the needle in the arm this is america. if we're going to say how great lethal injection is then let's give credit to where credit is due and give credit to karl brandt and the nazis for coming up with that idea well i don't see that it's categorically more violence than than forcibly dragging a person off to be locked in a cage forever. you know it's not the kind of thing that i think of when i think of the word violence i think of. far more bloody and painful punishments than than a procedure that is basically is similar to what is d

there was a sense thatwell, why isn't he talking to these nazis more? again the sentiment in the department with the exception of george messersmith and others. we can't let things get too far. we don't want another conflict. and those who like messersmith d dodd di't immediately prt a conflict. he was later on that. somebody like messersmith predicted a conflict like william shira was earlier. they were seen as people who were just trying to bring bad news that no one wanted to hear. thank you very much.

what's a nazi? a nazi is a very unpleasant person who believes... very unpleasant things. what things do they believe? well... nazi's think that they are better than other people. and they didn't like anyone who was different. they didn't like people who were jewish, and they didn't like-- so you called that traffic warden a nazi for all those things that he believed. well, no. he... i was feeling very angry and very wrongly, very wrongly, i called him-- a nazi rat bag. oh, not this again. i mean, i was exaggerating a little bit, and i felt cross-- the nazis were a group of germans who chased everybody with machine guns, and they were led by adi hitler. adi hitler? ( all laugh ) only to his mates then, i guess. hermy and joe joe. karen: what's a rat bag? it's a bag where you put rats in. no, it isn't. it's a rat, and you use its tail for the handle for the bag, and you put things inside it, and that keeps it, and that's a rat bag. you mean, like a handbag? yeah. want to get your mother a versace rat bag? maybe it's an airbag for a rat. what? if a rat was driving a car or s

and so they had this nazi mentality and they used nazi methods. >> hinojosa: in the year 1976, '77, '78. that's pretty horrifying. >> it's horrifying to know that it can happen all over again, that it happened in... argentina is a country that is very similar to the united states in i... 's a immigrant country, there's every nationality in argentina, people get on well, pretty well, and this happened. and it means it can happen anywhere. >> hinojosa: so what is the lesson, robert cox, that you feel all of us need to heed, again, after you lived through a dirty war that actually happened in front of your face. what is the message to us? how should we live our lives? >> the important thing is honest journalism, i think. i mean, in argentina, you had no journalism at that time, and to live in a country without journalism, without people being able to talk to each other all the time... >> hinojosa: so fighting for a free press. >> oh, that's tremendously important. >> hinojosa: and? >> and... decency. you know, let's talk about human rights and human decency. because what was lacking in a

clearly you've got football hooligans on both sides and you've got new nazi groups on both sides the difference seems to be that their political element seen in poland and parts of the media seem to be whipping up these this is a trade center phobia towards russia and towards russian supporters you've got similar problems in ukraine with extreme nationalist me a nazi groups as well and it's led to a situation where for my viewing from afar of the might choose many of the stadia. i mean how likely is it to progress is there that we're going to see further clashes there in ukraine. but i hope not. but i mean having seen some of the footage that was shown on panorama in the united kingdom of extreme right wing near nazi groups doing nazi salutes wearing the symbols and the rest it's obviously a difficult territory for us to know mark minority. and found in general we've actually got a clip we're talking about there was a fifteen second clip which is going to show our viewers know that came from the b.b.c. panorama program listening to that minute. eleven days time you were upset because

she then of course has this lovely odyssey, begins to have affairs not just with nazis but with members of the foreign community. visiting writers like thomas wolfe eventually have an affair with the soviet diplomat and becomes a spy for the soviet union. just your typical life's journey. but, there are a number of characters here who have rather startling stories. and there's a number of familiar characters with a story line i found that was a little different than i expected. charles lindburg, yeah, everyone knows charles lindburg was sympathetic of much of what was happening in germany at that time, what i did not know was why he showed up in germany in the first place? whose idea was it? the idea was initiated by truman smith. that same junior military man who was in germany in the early '20s, was the first american to meet hitler comes back in 1935 at the senior military, and at that time he's quite alarmed by the military build-up under hitler. he has a lot of sources in the army, but no sources in the air force. so, he plants the idea with gerring's people, to have gering the com

but it needs to be done nobody wants to be linked to the nazis but the historical antecedents of the american death penalty today come in large part from the nazis and the sad part is the state of texas gets their way and they execute him and i won't be allowed to touch him until. he's my only. the house. telling me they came here. under block. but. i won't be there i will now. wealthy british. really happening to the global economy. headlines kaiser reports. dozens of reportedly being killed across the country over the weekend. for one hundred billion euros to shore up. the largest economy. in the void additional cuts imposed. in the cases of. russian president. being made in the world of tennis today polls here to tell you about the rest of the highlights. thank you very much kevin hay is what's coming up in the world of sport on the brink of history rafael nadal looks to be bjorn borg record of six french open titles as he takes on world number one novak djokovic on the parisienne clay. and running in denmark and germany record wins over the netherlands and portugal on day two of

and so the nazis jump, of course, all over this. and so one response to this is this german publication that is the jews in the united states, and it's a very uncomplimentary photo they found somewhere of laguardia who enjoyed food at a picnic, and they found the nastiest picture of him. and the whole point is look at this jew, and he's the mayor of new york, and this is why we're going to be on the march. and this kind of went back and forth across the atlantic for several years. i'm running out of time here, but i just wanted to tell you the one anecdote where the german government protested to the roosevelt administration in the late '30s about laguardia. can't you shut this guy up? we're not at war, you know? and roosevelt turned to the state department in one meeting and says, yeah, we'll discipline laguardia. like this. you know, we're not, we're just going to make a little, you know, go through the motions. and the next time laguardia came to the white house to meet franklin roosevelt, roosevelt went heil. [laughter] and they

streets in central moscow i did see several people wearing what can only be described as variants of nazi uniforms including one woman wearing a take on the s.s. uniform fully equipped with a compound on wearing a russian nationalists symbol of the protests the demonstration on the march of both being very peaceful from all sides seeing as you say there there was worries about the the number of nationalists and the message that they were putting across but it doesn't seem like that's flared up any problems of course in the last demonstration we saw in moscow in may that was really hijacked by some radical groups we saw violent clashes and sometimes extreme violent clashes seeing both the police and demonstrators enjoy it so that resulted in an investigation and raids on the the houses of opposition leaders as police try to find out if they were involved in organizing any of of those violent clashes now it also resulted in changes in the law here in russia concerning people day to day because in violations of the law demonstrations these include things like wearing masks to cover your face

groups doing nazi salutes wearing r.c. some more than the rest it's obviously a difficult territory for us to know mark minority because i and found in general we've actually got a clip we're talking about there was a fifteen second clip which is going to show our viewers know that came from the b.b.c. panorama program listening to that minute. eleven days during the ribs because it's a bit of a cake so. i am just how safe is some friends be. to set it up very well today i mean is that an accurate reflection of the problems there or was it a case of it makes good t.v. viewing in the some kind as well i think is probably in between the two frankly i mean clearly our problems there and those of us who are looking at the growth of the extreme right across the european union in neighboring countries are well aware of the situation in ukraine and for that matter in in poland. former m.e.p. they live for speaks of a bit earlier on about the subject will happy and the football will bring you all the latest. euro two thousand and

your parents went back to prague a couple of years later when everything was on raveling and the nazis were coming in and your parents escaped with you to a england. tell us about your mother's letter and what you learned about that. >> guest: my father already in the diplomatic service his father had been to be the attache. my mother wanted me to be born in prague where her mother was and so then we went back to belgrade and then my father was recalled in 1938 and he was in czechoslovakia when the nazis marched in on march 15th, 1939. and my mother -- i found had a yellow pad where she was describing my father's blight sometime she wanted to tell people who he was so she wrote something. the whole film was surprised because my mother never wrote anything that we could tell the and she had her own english style so it was interesting to find. >> guest: tell us what she said about the escape. >> guest: my father went to see if he could get a passport to head out and they had generally been hiding kind of not going anywhere. they sent me to be with my grandmother outside of prague and tri

she begins to have affairs not just with nazis but members of the foreign community, visiting writers like thomas wolf eventually has an affair and becomes a spy for the soviet union. just your typical life's journey. so there are a number of characters here who have some rather startling stories. and then there's a number of familiar characters with a story line i found that was a little different than i expected. >> it was why he showed up in germany in the first place. whose idea was it? well, the idea was -- initiated by truman smith, that same junior military attache who was in germany in the early '20s comes back in 1935 as a senior military attache. and by that time, he's quite alarmed by the military build up. so he plants the idea with people to have gurring, the commander of the air force to invite lind burg. he'll show all the test flights and that's exactly what happens. and lindburgh goes to these things, usually brings the military attaches with him, if not, he debriefs them and provides valuable for washington. now, you can ask about his motives and they probably were t

it's a neo-nazi organization of a bunch of skinheads. i was the founding father of that club. >> i got thug reich tattooed on my belly. the reason i got it is, we were thugs. the reich was for the third reich, the whole nazi thing. i combined the two, and came up with that. it almost became a motto for a lot of guys. >> i don't even see the tattoos anymore. i'm used to them because i got to know who he is and like instead of just being someone on the streets and seeing him and they judge him, i see him for who he is. >> blood and honor was an organization that was created by the late ian steward donaldson, the lead singer of screwdriver. it was a skinhead organization in the late '70s, early '80s. in the '90s, it split into two different factions. the blood and honor i belonged to was combat 18. or c-18. the 18 stands for 1 and 8 for the letter a and h for adolf hitler. >> is that good? >> when i saw pierson born, i saw god that day. that was one of the strangest, greatest feelings that i'll probably never feel again. you know it was the

american history tv, andrew nagorski discusses his book, "hitlerland: american eyewitnesss to the nazi right to power." this event in new york city was cohosted by the leo beck institute, and it's about an hour and ten minutes. thank you, i'm going to be brief, you did not come to hear me. i do want to say a word about the topic and myself and then a little bit more about our speaker. i am a reguge myself, i came to this country at the age of two. my father was a leading jewish leader for years and he was fortunately out of germany with his dieing father in palestine when hitler came to power, outside he would have been quickly arrested and heaven knows what fate he would have been his. we came here as reguges and i'm fascinated with the german history, and the third richt, i was taught by these reguges. some not reguges the same as others. carl deutsch -- so giving an introduction to andrew nagorski, i was fine to do that. but then i realized that i needed to do his bio, so i wanted to make sure i had these things right. i knew him both in terms of his father, who played a major role

the allegations add to an embarrassing scandal of the security services handling of the neo-nazi threat the scandal erupted last november. >> german lawmakers are outraged. a committee investigating the knee and not see murdering has learned that the office for the protection of the constitution destroyed relevant documents just one week after the scandal broke. a document that has recently come to light seems to indicate that the field office routinely shredded documents. >> our confidence that we're being given accurate information is deeply shaken. >> i am worried that security agency's task with protecting the constitution or trying to cover up their mistakes. that is why i am calling for the interior minister to investigate from top to bottom. >> the head of germany's criminal police agency has been instructed to investigate these latest allegations. he admits that mistakes were made, but he says that his agency is not to blame. >> we should have created a unit devoted to monitoring germany's right wing seen earlier. that is what i meant when i said the security agencies have faile

tone and had nothing to do with the reality that is despite the fact these reports and rising neo nazis and a punitive new language law and the economic problems in the country featured prominent politicians and think tanks we went to the capital tal and to investigate what this was all about and finding myself on that list certainly came as a big surprise until i managed to speak to some of the locals who say that being there is nothing out of the ordinary here is andrei has also been the victim of the

but it needs to be done nobody wants to be linked to the nazis but the historical.of the american death penalty today in large part from the nazis and the sad part is. their way and they execute him and i won't be allowed to touch him until after he's dead. and he keeps telling me they can't hear me and they are. blocked. i won't be there i will not witness the killing much wealthier british study done. on time to. go to the. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cancer a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines conjure reports. in egypt thousands have flooded the capital stock free or square calling for a ban from next week's election runoff feet former prime minister protesters are alarmed by shell fix close ties to the fall regime and the military they believe his candidacy could be a threat to the revolution along the went on to shafiq rallied thousands of activists have marched on to who we are calling for the violence against women a number of assaults on females have risen dramatically since the start
