Clips of still photographs used as evidence showing victims of high altitude experiments. "The victims who did not die in the course of such experiments, surely wished that they had. A long report written in July 1942 by Rascher, and by the defendants Ruff and Romberg, describes an experiment on a former delicatessen clerk, who was given an oxygen mask and raised in the chamber to an atmospheric elevation of over 47,000 feet, at which point the mask was removed and a parachute descent was simulated. The report describes the victim's reactions-"spasmodic convulsions," "agonal convulsive breathing," "clonic convulsions and groans," "yells aloud," "convulses arms and legs," "grimaces, bites his tongue," "does not respond to speech," "gives the impression of someone who is completely out of his mind."" 01:06:39 From RG-60.2306: December 20, 1946, Jadwiga Dzido, former prisoner, Ravensbrueck Concentration Camp, shows scarred leg.

Views of the dock and Taylor delivering from the podium. "In the sterilization experiments conducted by the defendants at Auschwitz, Ravensbrueck, and other concentration camps, the destructive nature of the Nazi medical program comes out most forcibly. The Nazis were searching for methods of extermination, both by murder and sterilization, of large population groups, by the most scientific and least conspicuous means. They were developing a new branch of medical science which would give them the scientific tools for the planning and practice of genocide. The primary purpose was to discover an inexpensive, unobtrusive, and rapid method of sterilization which could be used to wipe out Russians, Poles, Jews, and other people." 01:08:18 From RG-60.2359: Taylor, from rear in courtroom, continues opening statement regarding experiments in yellow fever, smallpox, typhus, cholera, and diphtheria conducted at Natzweiler and Buchenwald, naming defendants' involvement. He also discusses the gathering of skeletons for research and other "anthropological experiments" at Strasbourg, as well as euthanasia. 01:09:26 Taylor details Count 3 - Crimes Against Humanity.

Close-ups of Jewish boys. 3:05 minutes, Silent Stanley Baker Collection This collection consists of amateur film shot by members of an American family who were living in Vienna when the Germans entered Austria in 1938. One clip shows jubilant crowds celebrating the Anschluss. Another sequence documents the damage done to Jewish shops immediately after the German takeover and shows Helen Baker as she is prevented from entering a Jewish shop by an Austrian member of the SA. 3:55 minutes, Silent Claude Lanzmann Shoah Collection Interview with Paula Biren Paula Biren and her family lived in the Lodz ghetto from 1940 until its liquidation in 1944.

He was convicted and sentenced to death after the war but his sentence was commuted to ten years in prison. Lanzmann filmed the interview without Schubert's knowledge, and in this clip he asks Schubert what he meant when he spoke at his trial about his "burdened soul." Schubert answers that anyone's soul would feel burdened if they found themselves among a group of people who must be executed, without knowing specifically why. In the abstract, Schubert says, the reason is that Hitler had decreed that they must die. Schubert's wife interrupts to insist that her husband did not participate directly in executions. 1:40 minutes, German Claude Lanzmann Shoah Collection Interview with Benjamin Murmelstein Benjamin Murmelstein, a controversial figure in Holocaust history, was a rabbi and leader in the Jewish community (Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Wien) and later acted as the last head of the Jewish Council in Theresienstadt. Here Murmelstein complains that after the war everyone claimed to be part of the resistance, complete with hidden weapons and clandestine radio stations. 2:30 minutes, German Claude Lanzmann Shoah Collection Interview with Ruth Elias Ruth Elias, a Czech Jew, gave birth to a child in Auschwitz. While the baby perished at the hands of Josef Mengele, Elias survived and was liberated from a labor camp in Leipzig.

Brooke was a U.S. Army Signal Corps cameraman and a member of George Stevens' film unit. This film clip from original Kodachrome shows American GIs assisting survivors into Red Cross ambulances at Buchenwald during liberation. 1:10 minutes, Silent Oral History Interview with Budd Schulberg Budd Schulberg, 92, wrote the novel What Makes Sammy Run? and the screenplay for the film On the Waterfront. As an officer in the U.S. Naval Reserve, he served in a special unit of the O.S.S. (Office of Strategic Services, a precursor of the C.I.A.) responsible for capturing film evidence against the major Nazi war criminals in 1945. This oral history documents his unique experience heading the team that rushed to assemble the Nazis' own film record of their crimes. The resulting film, The Nazi Plan, was shown in the courtroom in Nuremberg. In this clip, Schulberg discusses how his search for damning film evidence produced by the SS ended in frustration when he discovered that the film had been destroyed shortly before he arrived. 3:35 minutes, English
