Just a friendly reminder

Since having a ton of google video windows open on a page kinda slows it down, i've limited the main page to 4 posts. Don't forget you can always find older posts in the archive, to the right of the page. If the page is slowed down anyways, clicking on the one you want to watch in the archive will single it out for you.

The Holocaust

First, an interview with Auschwitz survivor Renée Firestone.

Next a film produced for the british government documenting the liberation of Belsen concentration camp. Some of the scenes in the second film may be profoundly disturbing to some people, so be warned. This isn't a movie for everybody.

Either way, if you think you can handle these movies I highly recommend watching them. It's shocking to think that some people honestly believe that this is all a hoax, despite the overwhelming amount of documentary evidence, much of it provided by the Nazi's themselves.

The Harvard Law School Library has approximately one million pages of documents relating to the trial of military and political leaders of Nazi Germany before the International Military Tribunal (IMT) and to the twelve trials of other accused war criminals before the United States Nuremberg Military Tribunals (NMT).

The documents, which include trial transcripts, briefs, document books, evidence files, and other papers, have been studied by lawyers, scholars, and other researchers in the areas of history, ethics, genocide, and war crimes, and are of particular interest to officials and students of current international tribunals involving war crimes and crimes against humanity.

To preserve the contents of these documents--which are now too fragile to be handled--and to provide expanded access to this material, the Library has begun a digital project to create and present images or full-text versions of its Nuremberg documents on the Internet, along with analytical information about each document and general information about the trials.


Apparently that isn't enough for some people.
