The Trial of Adolf Eichmann [
Index ]
Judgment
"How could this happen in the light of day, and why was it just
the German people from which this great evil sprang? Could the Nazis
have carried out their evil designs without the help given them by
other peoples in whose midst the Jews dwelt? Would it have been
possible to avert the Holocaust, at least in part, if the Allies had
displayed a greater will to assist the persecuted Jews? Did the Jewish
People in the lands of freedom do all in its power to rally to the
rescue of its brethren and to sound the alarm for help? What are the
psychological and social causes of the group-hatred which is known as
anti-Semitism? Can this ancient disease be cured, and by what means?
What is the lesson which the Jews and other nations must draw from all
this, as well as every person in his relationship to others? There are
many other questions of various kinds which cannot even all be listed."
