May it please the tribunal?
1:33:07
- You may continue.
- Thank you.
1:33:18
Now.
1:33:20
What was the Feldenstein case?
1:33:23
The case of a man
accused of racial pollution.
1:33:27
Will you explain what is meant
by "racial pollution"?
1:33:31
This is the charge
that is referred to in the Nuremberg Laws.
1:33:37
It says that any non-Aryan
having sexual relations with an Aryan...
1:33:41
may be punished by death.
1:33:43
When did you first become acquainted
with the Feldenstein case?
1:33:48
In September 1935,
I was contacted by the police.
1:33:52
They said that Mr. Feldenstein
was being held...
1:33:55
and that he requested
that I serve as his counselor.
1:34:00
What position did he hold
in the community?
1:34:02
He was a very well-known merchant.
1:34:05
He was one of the heads
of the Jewish congregation in Nuremberg.
1:34:09
What was the nature of the charge
against him?
1:34:13
He was accused
of having intimate relations...
1:34:17
with a 16-year-old girl, Irene Hoffman.
1:34:22
I see.
1:34:24
And what did he say to you about the case?
1:34:28
He said it was false.
1:34:30
He said he knew the girl and her family
a long time.
1:34:33
He'd gone to visit her since they died.
1:34:35
But there had never been anything
of the kind charged between them.
1:34:41
Doctor, would you please tell the tribunal
what happened then?
1:34:47
He was indicted before
the special court at Nuremberg.
1:34:50
And where was this special court?
1:34:53
It was right here, this building.
1:34:56
This very courtroom.
