Scope and Content

The narrator asserts that as long as men such as Globke are part of the West German government, the "Aktion J" is still in action. Scenes of anti-Jewish graffiti and desecrated Jewish gravestones. Footage of Globke walking down his driveway and getting into his car. East German professor Alfred Norden is shown on television, speaking about Globke. He ends by holding up the file on Globke that we have been seeing throughout the film. He calls Globke the "Jew murderer by Adenauer's side." The narrator claims that since the day in July 1960 that Norden gave this speech to a press conference about German unity, the controversy about Globke has been publicized in newspapers throughout the world. Shots of newspaper headlines about Globke and a demonstration against him.
