One of Hitler's most notorious henchmen goes to court.
His televised trial awakens the world to the Holocaust and has a profound impact on the three people you are about to meet.
Writer/Producer EDIE TUROVITZ KASTEN, Camera DAVID SEMAN, Editor HARVEY MOSHMAN
I was born the day he was sentenced to death. Both my parents were Holocaust survivors.
I remember the trial well, I was a 12 year old student at the time.
Whay was it like watching it?
My father was 1939, 20 years old, radio-operator for 6th army. He only told me from Kharkow. He´d never tell about Babin Jar or what criminal orders he have to give to his comrades. I think the Antisemitism was accepted in all countries in this time and nobody says something against, nowhere. Only seeing at a other direction and going to church every sunday - double-standard! We have to be careful!
he was a monster
He was a bad man. But not a monster. He was deluded and he did not have the right values. His life shows that it is important to ask questions, and to question authority.
monsters don't exist, nazis do.
important not to call those people monsters or any other non-human name, they are human, the worst kind, but still human. if we call them monsters, we somehow excuse their behavior as they are not part of humanity, which is false.
the truth is just that those people never, not till the last moment, felt that they had done something other than magnificent to the world by murdering millions of jews including children and babies.
saddest part of it is, there are many people around who still have those feelings inside them.
the only way to get rid of this poison is through education.
never forget
@@BGold_Animation most of the Einsatzgruppe leaders were extremely educated. Didnt fix them
The little smirk on his face was disgusting. Evil personified.
If he was forced to do it, and didn't want to, then I'm sure he could have resigned, or if he was really against it, he should have worked to destroy the nazis from within.
Yes, there were punishments for resisting the N*zis or defying orders, depending on what those order were, but researchers have found either zero or close to zero instances of punishment for a N*zi who said that they wanted to do another job. That job was often at the front, so certainly death was a risk. But this idea that war criminals were only following orders… you didn’t climb ranks or stay in your position if you don’t go the extra mile to be brutal.
And N*zis often got more leeway from each other than one would expect, not less, due to this “us against them mentality” and willingness to look the other way during certain violations if the other person did the same for them.
@@NoelleMar Well said.
If he apologized what would happen to him differently ?

I still don't understand the psychology of this. I don't think I ever will.
This man killed indirectly hundreds of thousands of people, and even when some survivers tell some horrific stories that they saw with their own eyes, he doesn't feel guilty.
I just don't understand it. It doesn't add up. Unless he and his colleagues were sociopaths.
@@cgxf2188 ok 👍
We should never understand. This is unfathomable.
"We will meet again" Eichmann said at the gallows, why would he say that? It could only mean that evil is ongoing and the evil that manifested itself as him will return, so in executing him, that evil is free to try re-entry into the world as opposed to being contained in the body that instead is then jailed? Does that makesense?
Eichman was evil
what has the world learned from this? ... sadly, nothing
No kidding. Now we kill babies and call it politics.
I did not exist at the time. I am certainly no apologist for Mr. Eichmann and his totally UNACCEPTABLE and IMMORAL activities from 1941 to 1945. But having looked at the whole Eichmann case in 2020, it seems to me that the Israeli court was not as creative as it could have been in the punishment for his crimes after he had been found guilty. They should have sentenced him to live either in jail in Israel for the rest of his life or under house arrest in Tel Aviv for the rest of his life. This would have shown the world that Israel was not going to stoop to his level .
I hope he rots in hell every day he was EVIL!
Eichmann was right. He had to obey orders if not he will be killed. Those American pilots who dropped two atom bombs on innocent Japanese civilians did the same thing as eichmann did, obeyed orders. Those pilots who dropped agent orange toxic defoliant in Vietnam and killed thousands of innocent people did the same as eichmann did... Obeyed orders. Those troops and pilots who killed destroyed Iraq did the same as eichmann did... Obeyed orders. They all escaped but a eichmann and several such low ranking officers were executed while American soldiers pilots all were heroes. Where is justice in this world.???
