Scope and Content

Leon Trotsky stands at a podium in a library-like setting. Trotsky speaks from notes in English about his trial. The scene is a bit disjointed but then moves to shots of Trotsky coming down a narrow staircase outside, with another man, and then walking towards water. Trotsky reads in English from a piece of paper and denounces Stalinism.

Note(s)

  • Original film can label reads "Chronos / Dokuments / Akt 1". The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Film and Video department received this particular footage without asking for it. Identification from Brewster Chamberlain and Martin Smith's notes.
