2:19:03
I was content to tend my roses.
2:19:08
I was even content...
2:19:11
to let counsel try to save my name.
2:19:15
Until I realized...
2:19:18
that in order to save it,
he would have to raise the specter again.
2:19:26
You have seen him do it.
He has done it here in this courtroom.
2:19:31
He has suggested that the Third Reich
worked for the benefit of people.
2:19:36
He has suggested that we sterilized men
for the welfare of the country.
2:19:41
He has suggested that perhaps...
2:19:43
the old Jew did sleep
with the 16-year-old girl, after all.
2:19:48
Once more, it is being done...
2:19:53
for love of country.
2:19:58
It is not easy to tell the truth.
2:20:03
But if there is to be any salvation
for Germany...
2:20:07
we who know our guilt must admit it...
2:20:11
whatever the pain...
2:20:14
and humiliation.
2:20:21
I had reached my verdict...
2:20:24
on the Feldenstein case...
2:20:27
before I ever came into the courtroom.
2:20:29
I would have found him guilty,
whatever the evidence.
2:20:32
It was not a trial at all.
It was a sacrificial ritual...
2:20:36
in which Feldenstein, the Jew,
was the helpless victim.
2:20:39
Your Honor, I must interrupt.
2:20:41
The defendant is not aware
of what he is saying.
2:20:43
He is not aware of the implications...
2:20:45
I am aware.
2:20:50
My counsel would have you believe...
2:20:52
we were not aware
of the concentration camps.
2:20:56
Not aware.
2:20:59
Where were we?
