Watching Judgement at Nuremberg [View all]

specifically Burt Lancaster’s speech from the witness stand. His testimony about Germany could be applied to the USA without question.

I first saw this film when I was seven at a drive-in. It traumatized me -I was supposed to be asleep and watched the whole film. Almost no one had seen the films of the concentration camps and the genocide and I never forgot it.

Never again.
