1:22:01
But compassion
for the present torture of his soul...
1:22:04
must not beget forgetfulness...
1:22:06
of the torture and the death of millions
by the government of which he was a part.
1:22:13
Janning's record and his fate...
1:22:15
illuminate the most shattering truth
that has emerged from this trial.
1:22:19
If he and all of the other defendants
had been degraded perverts...
1:22:24
if all of the leaders of the Third Reich...
1:22:26
had been sadistic monsters and maniacs...
1:22:30
then these events
would have no more moral significance...
1:22:34
than an earthquake,
or any other natural catastrophe.
1:22:38
But this trial has shown...
1:22:41
that under a national crisis...
1:22:44
ordinary, even able and extraordinary men...
1:22:49
can delude themselves
into the commission of crimes...
1:22:53
so vast and heinous
that they beggar the imagination.
1:22:56
No one who has sat through the trial
can ever forget them.
1:23:00
Men sterilized because of political belief.
1:23:04
A mockery made of friendship and faith.
1:23:07
The murder of children.
1:23:10
How easily it can happen.
1:23:14
There are those in our own country, too...
1:23:16
who today speak
of the protection of country...
1:23:19
of survival.
1:23:21
A decision must be made
in the life of every nation...
1:23:24
at the very moment
when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat.
1:23:28
Then it seems that the only way to survive
is to use the means of the enemy...
1:23:32
to rest survival upon what is expedient,
to look the other way.
1:23:39
The answer to that is: Survival as what?
1:23:44
A country isn't a rock.
It's not an extension of one's self.
1:23:49
It's what it stands for.
1:23:51
It's what it stands for when standing
for something is the most difficult.
1:23:59
Before the people of the world...
