Your Honors...
2:31:12
during the three years that have passed
since the end of the war in Europe...
2:31:17
mankind has not crossed over into Jordan.
2:31:22
In our own country,
fear of war has been revived.
2:31:25
And we must look once more
to our defenses.
2:31:30
There's talk of Cold War,
while men and women die in real wars.
2:31:35
And the echoes of persecution...
2:31:39
and atrocities...
2:31:41
will not be stilled.
2:31:46
These events cannot help
but color what happens in this courtroom.
2:31:52
But somewhere
in the midst of these events...
2:31:56
the responsibility for the crimes
that we brought forward during this trial...
2:32:03
must be placed in true perspective.
2:32:07
And this is the decision
that faces Your Honors.
2:32:13
It is the dilemma of our times.
2:32:18
It is a dilemma...
2:32:23
that rests with you.
2:32:30
The prosecution rests.
2:32:53
The defendants
may now make their final statements.
