This scene 10 times more powerful today than in 1961 when the film was released. Why one may ask? Because we see such frightening parallels to what the character of Ernst Janning is speaking about in this scene. Today is not the time for those of us who know what the truth is and what is right and wrong to speak up against hatred, bigotry and lies.
This movie came out when I was one year old. I look at these famous actors who are now all dead and it seems that they are speaking to me personally, about this moment in history.
Burt Lancaster, Spencer Tracy, Fredrick March, Gregory Peck, Sidney Poitier, Jack Lemmon... all could always be counted in to give 1000% to any role they took on. The old Hollywood guard set the bar so high it has rarely been approached. 💯
I saw this when I was little on a Sunday afternoon….and didn’t understand most of it, but understood enough to be sad by it. Watched years later after I went to listen to a women who lived through the holocaust, at a camp. I was 14yrs old and I sobbed through most of the women’s story.
Thanks for your comment. It was a great movie...one of the very few times that an allstar cast performed like allstars. It also shows what happens when America ignores the evil done by others, whether in Nazi Germany or Darfur.
The USA financed German rearmament through a banking loan, and completely ignored the problems in Europe. And for two years it was Great Britain who stood alone against the nazi scourge, fighting on the seas, in the air and in the desert. The lend lease wasn't paid off by the UK till the 1990,s. And without the nazis the US wouldn't have gotten to the moon. America isn't the protector of the free world. And the west didn't win the war in Europe, the Soviets did
When came for jew I didn't Stand up cause I wasn't jew when came for polictian I didn't stand up cause I wasn't polictian by time came for me was no one left to stand up
I happen to watch this movie this past week by chance and I'm glad I did. Even though this was a fictionalized account of the Nuremberg Trials, this seen ran painfully true. This scene radiated it most of all. The German leaders knew that Hitler was insane in his Racist-Anti-Semitic rants, but they stood down and let it happen because they thought it was only a phase. That they could use it bring Germany back from the brink of its depression. Instead, the madness grew into an unstoppable evil that murdered millions while those who knew better sat down and looked the other way until it was too late. Yes, they are comparisons in what was and is still going on in the U.S during the Trump era from 2017-2020 that ended in the attempted coup. Anti-Semitism is on the rise as well as Asian Bashing and the Racist brutality towards Afro Americans in our Justice system. Charleston 2017. Need I say more. If we do not study History and learn from our mistakes, it can and will happen again. Evil Triumps when Good Men and Women do nothing.
One of the best about Nuremberg. The all star cast made it powerful to watch and feel the deep emotions. We must be on guard of our own evil powers in control of the U.S. government for they can destroy us !!!
Germany reaped the whirlwind. Film shows how Nuremberg was devastated during WW 2 & most German cities suffered as badly or worse. 4 or 5 million were killed in action, hundreds of thousands died in air raids, and hundreds of thousands more died when Germany was invaded in 1945.

Burt Lancaster what an actor .
He was. They all were. One of the few times when a cast full of stars really worked with bravura performances all around.
There is more acting in this segment than a two hour movie today.

Agree although Shatner is still with us.

About the Holocaust, yes, but also about McCarthyism
I understand you, unbelievable what happened to these poor people, and why ? Because of a different religion, it never changes
And the OSCAR goes to
BURT LANCASTER!
He was very good but the only acting award the movie received was Max Schell for best actor.
@ignaciosanmon Yes, it was. Everyone was superb. One of the few times that an all star cast really ALL performed like all stars.
Learned of this audio from Canibus Album……. This audio is scattered over atleast 5 songs…. Classic songs/ this audio made the songs come to life
Lancaster deserved the Oscar for Best Supporting Actoir. for this scene. Great writing & acting . ----------------MJL, 77 y/o

Yes - or on it's own soil.

Amazing scene ___ relevant

Movie was also about McCarthyism. Promoting hate is a very concerning aspect of trumplicanism.
BURT LANCASTER ORIGINALLY CAST TO PLAY PATTON IN PATTON

This is known as Acting.
klink a lot less friendly here :)
Werner Klemperer, like a lot of Hogan's Heroes actors, was a Jew who fled Hitler
Thank you !
言い訳にしか聞こえないが、もっと反省をしてほしい。
いかなる理由でも、戦争やヒトラーのせいにしてはいけない。
あなたはヒトラーを止めなかった。
自分自身の愚かさを、罰を持って償うべきである。
考えさせられるいい映画だった。
ありがとうございます。
You are most welcome!
Really easy to always point the finger at the United States isn’t I don’t know where you come from but here people are going to brag about.
"a democracy torn by elements within", just like in Spain nowadays.
and now the United States
I wonder what kind of fever over the land was after complete defeat and atrocities they impose over the other countries.

Well, I have no sympathy for them
