Scope and Content
Session 109. Eichmann and Servatius wait for the Judges to return. The sounds of the courtroom crowd are heard. 00:02:33 Judges return. They explain the goings on from before the break. The Rudolf Vrba affidavit is rejected by the court because he could have appeared in person in court and his statistics would not definitively answer the questions of the court. The book concerning Lidice Children is accepted. The 1935 document concerning communication between Reich departments is not admitted because there was plenty of time to submit it. 00:14:18 All of the evidence has been submitted. Hausner wishes to have some time to think about the Summing-Up section of the trial. It is granted, and they will resume a few days later (duplicate footage on Tape 2208). 00:20:02 Court adjourns. Various shots of the emptying courtroom. Fade to slate.
