:12:00
This is the charge
that is referred to in the Nuremberg Laws.
:12:05
It says that any non-Aryan
having sexual relations with an Aryan...
:12:09
may be punished by death.
:12:11
When did you first become acquainted
with the Feldenstein case?
:12:16
In September 1935,
I was contacted by the police.
:12:20
They said that Mr. Feldenstein
was being held...
:12:23
and that he requested
that I serve as his counselor.
:12:28
What position did he hold
in the community?
:12:30
He was a very well-known merchant.
:12:33
He was one of the heads
of the Jewish congregation in Nuremberg.
:12:37
What was the nature of the charge
against him?
:12:41
He was accused
of having intimate relations...
:12:45
with a 16-year-old girl, Irene Hoffman.
:12:50
I see.
:12:52
And what did he say to you about the case?
:12:56
He said it was false.
:12:58
He said he knew the girl and her family
a long time.
:13:01
He'd gone to visit her since they died.
:13:03
But there had never been anything
of the kind charged between them.
:13:09
Doctor, would you please tell the tribunal
what happened then?
:13:15
He was indicted before
the special court at Nuremberg.
:13:18
And where was this special court?
:13:21
It was right here, this building.
:13:24
This very courtroom.
:13:28
What were the circumstances
surrounding the trial?
:13:33
It was used as a show place
for National Socialism.
:13:39
It was the time
of the September celebrations...
:13:43
the Nuremberg rallies.
:13:45
The courtroom was crowded.
:13:48
Back there, people were standing up.
:13:52
Julius Streicher was sitting
in one of the front seats.
:13:56
And high officials of the Nazi Party
were all over.
