Judgment at Nuremberg is a MUST SEE movie if you seek to understand what happened in Nazi Germany and what is happening now in the U.S. and elsewhere.
Made in 1961, Judgment at Nuremberg is a thinly fictionalized film account of the post-World War II Nuremberg Trials. It was written by Abby Mann and directed by Stanley Kramer. Starring Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Richard Widmark, Marlene Dietrich, Maximilian Schell, Judy Garland, Werner Klemperer, William Shatner and Montgomery Clift.
The full movie is available at Google Video.
The film depicts the trial of certain judges who served during the Nazi regime in Germany and the parallels with today's Right Wing dominated Supreme Court are chilling. The film was inspired by the Judges' Trial before the Nuremberg Military Tribunal in 1947, where four of the defendants were sentenced to life in prison. One of the threads in the plot involves a "race defilement" trial known as the "Feldenstein case". In this - again thinly fictionalized - case, based on the real life Katzenberger Trial, an elderly Jewish man was tried for an improper relationship with an "Aryan" woman, and put to death in 1942.
The film examines the questions of individual complicity in crimes committed by the state. For example, defense attorney Hans Rolfe (Maximilian Schell) raises such issues as the support of the U.S. Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. for the practice of eugenics and Winston Churchill's words of praise for Adolf Hitler. In the end, Janning makes a statement condemning himself and his fellow defendants for "going along" with the Third Reich and all four are found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.
The film is notable for showing actual historical footage filmed by American soldiers after the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps. Shown in court by prosecuting attorney Colonel Tad Lawson (Richard Widmark), the footage of huge piles of naked corpses laid out in rows and bulldozed into large pits was exceptionally gruesome for a mainstream film of its day.
The next clip is Spencer Tracy as the American Judge Haywood, delivering the powerful and moving verdict where he rejects the call to let the Nazi judges off lightly to gain Germany's support in the Cold War against the Soviet Union.

The World for People who Think
Take a away the mythical holocaust and whatta got? Same thing you have with every other losing combatant in WWII. This movie was pure jewish propaganda that focused on an historical event that never happened. But dojn’t take my word for it, instead take a look at hours of carefully researched evidence from the following website and decide for yourself. {Link removed by SOTT - this is your last warning, Yuma and tag team} The movie itself was made by Abbie Mann whose background can easily be researched on the web. Note carefully the segment in “Buchenwald” where Billy Wilder, Hollywood jewish producer of the movie “Some Like It Hot”, steps into the scene of the movie he was making about Buchenwald. www.holocaustdenialvideos.com/buchenwald/videos/2.wmv
That’s right, the film clips about the lampshades and shrunken heads in the Hollywood movie Judgment at Nuremburg were taken from a genuine propaganda film made by Hollywood producer Billy Wilder. Everything surrounding this movie is jewish, so just how fair and balanced do you think a jewish picture about Nazis might be? The fact is the Japanese were far more bloodthirsty and treacherously murderous than the Nazis could ever hope to be, but when was the last time we saw any movies about the trial of Tojo and the Imperial high command? And where are the Bataan Death March or Rape of Nanking museums in Washington DC? Why don’t these very real and thoroughly documented events garner similar attention? Because they serve no purpose in the jew’s agenda. Something else readers would do well to research is the fact that several US justices refused to serve at the Nuremberg trails saying that it was a travesty of justice and a sham trial in which the outcome had already been decided.
