Plot: In November 1930 brown-shirted storm troopers of Hitler's SA break into the Communist Eden Palace club,killing several members. Jewish lawyer Hans Litten prosecutes them and,at the suggestion of his boss Rudolf Olden,agrees to sub-poena Hitler,who had supposedly renounced violence yet who clearly supported the SA, to discredit him as a popular figure. Against the advice of his assistant Margot Furst Hans prepares his case,even involving Stennes, a rival Nazi to Hitler. At the trial Hans,the practised lawyer,runs rings round Hitler,who is frequently unable to answer his questions. The Brown Shirts are convicted but it is a Pyrrhic victory for two years later Hitler will become chancellor,Hans will be arrested and he will die in Dachau concentration camp.

Quotes:
[in court, Hitler is trying to defend Litten's allegations of brutality]::Adolf Hitler: When we first marched through Berlin in 1927, people threw flowers from their windows to greet us.::Hans Litten: [ironically] With the plant pots still attached, I believe.::[laughter]
[During the lunchtime break in court, a Jewish soldier has accosted Hitler and proved that he was just as patriotic as native Germans when fighting in the First World War. This incenses Hitler and in private he rails against Jews as he is preparing to go back into court to face Litten's questions]::Adolf Hitler: [to himself] "Good day to you." You too, you foul disease-ridden sewer-rat. This city's no better than Jew-riddled Vienna. It's crawling with them. Who let them breed like this? Who let them fasten onto us? It's time to clear them out - the whole stinking nest. It is a question of honor. Can you imagine men achieving the supreme task with the withered spirits these courts demand? No, you can't. You cannot! It cannot be done! That lawyer. Clever tongue. Jabber, jabber, jabber. I will take a knife... and cut it out.
[outside court, Hitler has just given a speech to the press; Litten now responds]::Hans Litten: That man says we lack belief, that we fritter away our strength by arguing and quarrelling. Well I am full of belief. It is the arguments and the quarrels I believe in. That is what makes a society. I also believe in a law that sets out the ground-rules for those arguments, with no-one - absolutely no-one - beyond its reach. Law is the process whereby a strong man voluntarily imposes restrictions on himself, bound by a weapon that he puts into the hand of his weaker brother. It is what we call civilization. The man who has just left does not conceive the law as an instrument to protect his brother, but as a tool to destroy his enemy. He will want you to live without the law and therefore he will want you to live without ideas. Your very thoughts will make you a criminal.

Plot: Following the premature death of his mother, Karol Wojtyla is brought up by his father in the Polish city of Krakow during the first half of the 20th century. An outstanding student with a magnetic personality, he dreams of becoming an actor. When his homeland is invaded by the Nazis in 1939, he and his friends secretly oppose the systematic persecution of their Polish culture. But, with the death of his father and the lacerating solitude which accompanies this loss, Karol's personal "resistance" takes on a new form and he decides to follow a priestly vocation. At the end of the war, Poland falls into the grip of Soviet totalitarianism. The newly ordained Karol is constantly surrounded by young people whom he teaches to safeguard and defend human dignity. He could be considered a serious threat to the regime, but the Communist authorities merely see him as an innocuous intellectual and even encourage his nomination for the position of bishop. Karol Wojtila is the youngest bishop in the history of Poland. When he is appointed Cardinal, Karol is more intransigent in the spiritual guidance of his homeland, becoming a real and proper thorn in the side of the Communist government. And the whole Catholic world begins to wonder who he is. On the death of Pope John Paul I in 1978, the cardinals of the Conclave decide that Woytjla is the right man to lead replace him. Thus Karol leaves his beloved Poland to become Pope John Paul II. His free, unconventional attitude alarms several prelates, but immediately wins the hearts of the people. In a age paralyzed by fear and ideology, the new Pope shows everybody again the overwhelming fascination of Christianity: this is the beginning of a deep change, which will affect the whole world and the Church itself, as a sort of "contagion". He miraculously survives an attempt on his life in 1981, and not even this event curbs his mission. Thanks to his unshakable tenacity , Pope John Paul II helps to change the course of history: the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 decrees the collapse of Communism. But the Pope does not stop being the voice of Christ, even among the injustices of the capitalistic Western world, even among the provocations and challenges of modern times . The Great Jubilee of 2000 is the most moving evidence of his mission: 3 million young people in love with the Pope gather in Rome, bringing with them the whole world's hopes. This world has learned to look to him, now old and shaky, as a ray of light in the heart of darkness.

912 days of the Warsaw Ghetto
The Warsaw Ghetto was established by the
German Governor-General
Hans Frank on
October 16,
1940.
Frank ordered
Jews in
Warsaw and its suburbs rounded up and herded into the
Ghetto. At this time, the population in the Ghetto was estimated to be 400,
000 people, about 30% of the population of Warsaw; however, the size of the Ghetto was about
2.4% of the size of Warsaw.
The construction of the ghetto wall started on April 1, 1940, but the
Germans closed the
Warsaw Ghetto to the outside world on
November 16 that year.
The wall was typically 3 m (9.8 ft) high and topped with barbed wire. Escapees could be shot on sight. The borders of the ghetto changed many times through the next years.
The ghetto was divided by Chłodna
Street, which due to its importance (Warsaw's major street leading to the e

The wall was typically 3 m (9.8 ft) high and topped with barbed wire. Escapees could be shot on sight. The borders of the ghetto changed many times through the next years.
The ghetto was divided by Chłodna
Street, which due to its importance (Warsaw's major street leading to the east) was excluded from it. The area south of Chłodna was known as "Small Ghetto", while the area north of this street -- "
Large Ghetto". Those two parts were connected by Żelazna Street (special gate was built at its intersection with Chłodna Street). In
January 1942 a wooden footbridge, which after the war became one of the symbols of the
Holocaust, was built there to ease pedestrian traffic. The first commissioner of the
Warsaw ghetto was his chief organizer
SA-Standartenführer Waldemar Schön. He was succeeded in May
1941 by
Heinz Auerswald.
On
January 18, 1943, after almost four months without any deportations, the Germans suddenly entered the Warsaw ghetto intent upon a further deportation.
Within hours, some 600 Jews were shot and 5,000 others rounded up.
The Germans expected no resistance, but preparations to resist had been going on since the previous autumn. The first instances of
Jewish armed resistance began that day. The Jewish fighters had some success: the expulsion stopped after four days and the
ŻOB and
ŻZW resistance organizations took control of the Ghetto, building shelters and fighting posts and operating against Jewish collaborators.
The final battle started on the eve of
Passover of
April 19, 1943, when a
Nazi force consisting of several thousand troops entered the ghetto. After initial setbacks, the Germans under the field command of
Jürgen Stroop systematically burned and blew up the ghetto buildings, block by block, rounding up or murdering anybody they could capture. Significant resistance ended on April 28, and the Nazi operation officially ended in mid-May, symbolically culminating with the demolition of the
Great Synagogue of Warsaw on May 16. According to the official report, at least 56,065 people were killed on the spot or deported to
German Nazi concentration and death camps, most of them to
Treblinka.

The death sentences were carried out
16 October 1946 by hanging using the standard drop method instead of long drop.
The U.S. army denied claims that the drop length was too short which caused the condemned to die slowly from strangulation instead of quickly from a broken neck. But evidence remains that some of the condemned men died agonizingly slowly taking from between 14 minutes to choke to death to as longs as struggling for 28 minutes. The executioner was
John C. Woods. The executions took place in the gymnasium of the court building (demolished in
1983)...
