and on between the 23 rd the 28th, we come into nuremberg. the entire old city of nuremberg had been destroyed one night. the allies flew bombers over and just destroyed the entire city. the amazing thing is the following day, the germans came out of the bunkers. they came out of the under ground shelters and many of them did survive. in nuremberg, i saw the sports plaques where hitler used to do a lot of his speeches. on may 8, the war ends and we're in the austrian alps and we're in the mountains. >> how did you all find out that hitler had killed himself? >> you did not know that? >> didn't. >> did not know that want we did not know that. we wind up in a german city and they surrendered to the 80th infantry division. here's an interesting anecdote that took place. the german general whose name was general balck requested a meeting with the general of the 80th infantry division and the reason he wanted the meeting, he wanted to be assured that his who were on one side of the river would be able to get across the river to the american zone.

that learned that upsets us like in this respect the nuremberg trials can be seen to have made a tragic legal mistake to classify living in spawn which ran these children's homes as a purely charitable organization and equipped those involved with the challenges from today's point of view that was as related to the judicial era class a feel and child on. a low to return she is on her way to the city of fribourg. she knows germany well. she often visited her foster parents here. today she's giving a talk to students at the catholic university of applied sciences as a living witness. as always she tells her life story in german all that will happen and that is why they gave us new 1st and last names. until then i had been. and now i was early to say if i leave it. alone says her lectures have also been a form of therapy for her. it's a way of coming to terms with her own past but i guess that. you're meant to be excited said that your time in germany shaky and yet you still consider yourself polish. would you say that germany is also your homeland in a way on. yes i think that's true it i

front page news there is coverage of the nuremberg laws. nasd nazis pass decrees against jews. i will show you one more from nevada that speaks to an interesting challenge that we thought about as we were putting together this exhibition. this is a reno, nevada, paper. march 27th of '33. they are reporting on the fact that einstein is renouncing his citizenship and that he won't return to germany. if you look over two columns also you see this article. mistreatment of jews ends. there had been no stories about persecution of jews for a week coming out of nazi germany. the secretary of state says we may consider physical mistreatment of jews virtually terminated. that speaks to one of the challenges of the exhibition is to get visitors to read history forward. we know the end of the story. we know that naziism would lead to mass murder of 6 million jews and millions of others. americans in the 1930s had no idea that was coming. so that's one of the challenges that we tried to address throughout the exhibition is to get people to read history as it was happening. that's one of th

what happened is by the way, people city nuremberg crisis was a failure, in many ways it was, washington was not deposed by angry officers. the system continued, the army happily continued under civilian command. all that was good. really, what happened partly was the officer class did get added to the bond holding class. it was the compromise, washington supported that. now you have the other components of the scheme, you have the officer class of the armed forces involved in the same economic dynamic relationship. you can see the nuernberg conspiracy as a failure. you can also see it as a success. coming out of the conspiracy he kind of sets the table for what he is going to do in the 1790's. he has a new relationship with george washington, and you might think because washington counseled hamilton, an army is a dangerous thing to play with. you would think that washington had thought, well hamilton is crazy, i had to stay away from him. actually, their correspondents after the conspiracy is a fascinating study in the dynamics of their always fascinating tense and important relationshi

not when they [inaudible] not when the nuremberg laws planned jews from mixing with german blood andnot when all his employees and families had to stop working for him because he was aeo jew. when it became almost impossible for him to buy raw materials like lead and t copper for his business and not when he and freddy dismayed watched the footage of hitler presiding over the 1930 olympics after banning non- aryans from joining squad. not even when word began to spread that the nasis were rounding up communists, homosexuals and other undesirables in the jews might be next. not even then heinrich stayed firm but nothing bad will happen to us he kept repeating to his son as a matter of faith. you seea freddy here at about ae 11 with a belt around his waist and that is not just any belt. bat was a military belt that his father had worn during the war and freddy used to prance around the house wearing it dreaming about fighting for the germans himself because he thought of himself first as a german and then as a jew growing up as a kid and it's easy to forget that the golden time that th

remember asougugh to h hitler'sstening to spspeeches over r the radio, nuremberg rallies. cocould not understand the words, but thehe tone and the reaction to the crowdwd, the adoring crowd, was very clelear and very frightening. we knonow what it led to. it comes to mind at once when you listen to trump's ravings in the crowd. i don't suggest he is anything itler had an h ideology not only massacring the slavs,0 million conquering much of the world, but also an internal ideology. the state under control of the nazi party should control every aspect of life, should even control the business community. that is not the world we are in. in fact, it is almost the opposite. the business controlling the government. as far as trump is concerned, the only detectable ideology is pure narcissism, me, that is the ideology. as long as i am smart enough to masters,ing the real pour money into the pockets of the very wealthy and the corporate sector, they will let you get away with her antics. it is pretty striking to see what happened at the davis conference this january. that is the m

bryden box pilgrimage to jerusalem in the 1470s and '80s, or to this, the image of jerusalem from the nuremberg chronicles in 1493, jerusalem has remained as the center, an image of truth and reality while all the rest of the world was displayed in fiction and fantasy, jerusalem was always portrayed realistically. so as a remembrance of your time with us today i would like to give you jerusalem. >> thank you. [applause] >> thank you. >> it's so wonderful when we can connect what we have in this last library with something that you just said, so that's a real for us. we will now take questions. should we raise the house lights so we can see one another? questions for dr. armstrong. we have microphones floating through the room and they will be happy to hand you a microphone and give you a voice. >> thank you for your talk. do you think humanity has finished writing scripture quacks do you see as creating more scripture? >> well, one of the interesting things that my editor in new york asked me to do when you read the first draft of my new book, he said, you know, you say that scripture starts go

. >> the 6 million number was first used in the nuremberg trials. it was derived from a combination of german sources, some kinds of things, the killings in the soviet union they kept pretty good records so we have a fair sense of that. some of them were based on prewar estimates of populations and then postwar count of refugees. one of the big problems is that for a lot of jews killed in extermination camps, the germans did not bother keeping records of how many people they were killing. so we have a very good count of the number of jews who were enslaved by the germans and many of whom were then worked to death and died in horrible conditions in slave labor camps. but to the jews who were sent directly to the gas chambers, the germans did not keep meticulous counts of those. so there is a lot of squishyness i guess you could say, in some of these precise numbers. so 6 million is a ballpark. i have seen incredible figures as low as 4.8 million. i have seen figures as high as six and a half million. 6 million is a give or take number with a fairly l
