“Of course, the main reason is the change of law in the way Germany has brought Nazi war criminals to trial. The previous rules was that you'd have to have tangible evidence, and documentary evidence was not sufficient.” WayWarReasonLawCoursesEvidenceCriminalsTrialsSufficientGermanyNaziDocumentariesTangible Author:Marvin Hier
“Now documentary evidence is acceptable. What does that mean? If you have documentary evidence that a person served as a guard in one of the death camps and the documents have been authenticated, that is grounds to charge the person with crimes against humanity. And that's why you see the spate of trials previously, for example, in the '70s and the '80s, even in the low '90s. That was not the case until the change in the law.” IfsMeanPersonsDoeHas BeensLawHumanityCasesCrimeExampleLowsEvidenceTrialsCampsAcceptableDocumentsDocumentaries80sCrimes Against HumanityDeath Camps Author:Marvin Hier
“It's just this long overdue. These people [ex-Nazi brought to trial] should be grateful to the apathy that exists there that prevented them from being brought to trial earlier. All of the people that they committed crimes against had their lives snuffed out, some of them at very young ages. Some of them never had a chance to get married and have children.” PeopleShouldChildrenLongAgeYoungChanceCrimeMarriedGratefulCommittedTrialsApathyBe GratefulNaziExesYoung AgeOverdue Author:Marvin Hier
