Ralph G. Holocaust testimony

Videotape testimony of Ralph G., who was born in Youngstown, Ohio in 1903. He recalls being one of the few Jews at law school in Oklahoma; military service beginning in 1941; joining the staff at the subsequent Nuremberg Trials in November 1946; visiting refugee camps near Nuremberg; prosecuting the industrialist, Friedrich Flick and Hitler's Reich Press Chief, Otto Dietrich; the unprecedented argument in Dietrich's trial that Nazi propaganda was a military weapon; interaction with chief prosecutor Telford Taylor; housing Rezso? Kasztner in their villa; visiting Vienna and Salzburg with him; visiting Lidice, Paris, and Nantes; and returning to the United States in October 1948. Mr. G. notes German spectators at the trials harassed concentration camp survivors after they testified; the defendants not acknowledging wrongdoing or accepting responsibility; and the trials awakening his interest in Judaism. He shows photographs, documents, and memorabilia.
