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?
2:21:01
Where were we when Hitler began shrieking
his hate in the Reichstag?

2:21:04
Where were we when our neighbors
were being dragged out...

2:21:07
in the middle of the night to Dachau?
2:21:09
Where were we when every village
in Germany has a railroad terminal...

2:21:12
where cattle cars were filled with children...
2:21:15
being carried off to their extermination?
2:21:17
Where were we
when they cried out in the night to us?

2:21:20
Were we deaf? Dumb? Blind?
2:21:24
Your Honor, I must protest.
2:21:26
My counsel says we were not aware
of the extermination of the millions.

2:21:31
He would give you the excuse...
2:21:34
we were only aware
of the extermination of the hundreds.

2:21:39
Does that make us any the less guilty?
2:21:43
Maybe we didn't know the details.
2:21:46
But if we didn't know,
it was because we didn't want to know.

2:21:51
Traitor!
2:21:52
Order!
2:21:57
Put that man back in his seat
and keep him there.
