:53:00
No, thanks.
:53:02
Dan, I've just come back from Berlin,
as you know.
:53:06
I don't think this is going to be it.
A lot of people do, but I don't.
:53:11
But it is going to be a fight for survival...
:53:13
for the next 10 years, maybe the next 20.
:53:17
Germany is the key to that survival.
:53:19
Any high-school student in Geography
can tell you that.
:53:24
Just what are you trying to say, Senator?
:53:26
What I'm trying to say is this:
:53:28
While nobody's trying
to influence your decision...
:53:32
it's important that you realize this,
because it's a fact of life.
:53:36
Let's face it, gentlemen.
The handwriting is on the wall.
:53:40
We're going to need all the help we can get.
:53:43
We're going to need the support
of the German people.
:53:48
More strudel, gentlemen?
:53:53
Herr Janning, you may proceed.
:54:01
I wish to testify
about the Feldenstein case...
:54:06
because it was the most significant trial
of the period.
:54:11
It is important not only for the tribunal
to understand it...
:54:16
but for the whole German people.
:54:19
But in order to understand it...
:54:22
one must understand the period
in which it happened.
:54:28
There was a fever over the land.
:54:30
A fever of disgrace, of indignity, of hunger.
:54:36
We had a democracy, yes.
:54:39
But it was torn by elements within.
:54:42
Above all, there was fear:
:54:46
Fear of today, fear of tomorrow...
:54:49
fear of our neighbors...
:54:51
and fear of ourselves.
:54:55
Only when you understand that...
:54:58
can you understand what Hitler meant to us.
