/In Nuremberg, the American chief prosecutor Jackson demanded the
conviction of the accused organizations in a major speech. The Nazi
regime, Jackson said, was by no means limited to the tyranny of the main
defendants present here. 1000 little Führers ruled. 1000 imitators of
Göring acted out, 1000 Schirachs incited the youth, 1000 Sauckels
enslaved workers, 1000 Streichers and Rosenbergs stirred up hatred. 1000
Kaltenbrunners and Franks tortured and murdered, 1000 Schachts, Speers
and Funks administered, financed and supported the
movement.
/Jackson: 1000 Schachts, Speers, and Funks administered
and supported and financed this movement.
/Chief prosecutor Jackson
then describes the extent to which these organizations were able to
awaken the dark instincts of the people. SS General Ohlendorf is
characteristic of this system. He declared before this court, without a
trace of remorse or compassion, that he himself had ordered the deaths
of 90,000 men, women and children. No court in the world has ever heard
such testimony.
/Jackson: …to a recital of such wholesale murder as
this tribunal heard from him and from Wisliceny, a fellow officer of the
SS.
/In conclusion, chief prosecutor Jackson stated, "The
defendants here have lost their pernicious power, they are finished
people. Now it's time to target the organizations."
