to the judgment of the law
is one of the most significant tributes
that power has ever paid to reason.
(SPEAKING GERMAN)
But it is also true
that Frank was a willing
and knowing participant in the use of terrorism in Poland
which led to the death by starvation
of over a million Poles
and in a programme involving the murder of at least three million Jews.
Frank didn't kill anybody personally,
yet the Nuremberg judgment
was unequivocal in finding him guilty
of the murder of four million individuals,
ifs called command responsibility.
I don't think that Horst is a Nazi,
but he's completely wrong about his father
who was a senior Nazi leader.
And if he'd been apprehended and tried,
he would certainly have suffered
the same fate as Hans Frank.
Otto von Wchter's name is on the order
authorizing the construction
of the Krakow ghetto, game over.
Intention, having a decent character,
as Horst puts it, are totally irrelevant.
Nuremberg was the first time
that the political leaders of a state
were hauled up in front
of an international court of law.
Churchill wanted them to be lined up
and shot, but President Roosevelt preferred
that a court should dispense justice
and justice is what Hans Frank got.
It's the only room in the world
where I'm a little bit nearer to my father.
Sitting here
For about a year to be in here,
coming from a big castle,
driving a big Mercedes,
having a lot of uniforms
and suddenly he's sitting here.
There's an open toilet with a small table.
With a small bed, nothing else.
There is right now in me a little kind of pity.
Yeah, here he sits.
Maybe it's the same place to us.
So it's a momentary feeling of pity,
is it amplified today,
the anniversary of his execution?
No, it's not a special day of the 16th.
Around this time he was already dead.
In a lot of hours,
shortly after 1:
00 in the morningthey got him and, hmm,
the funny thing about when they caught...
Took my father to the gallows,
when they opened the door
my father was kneeling like this
and he said to the priest,
"Father, my mother...
When I was a boy, my mother used to
"give me the cross every morning
when I was leaving for school.
"Please do this also now. "
And I think this catholic priest
was very, very much enjoyed
and he did it.
From behind you have all these people
and he was kneeling here
and I used to say that's
a ham actor's exercise.
Jesus Christ personally has shown himself
to my father
and so maybe...
Maybe he... And it wasn't a ham actor's...
Decision to do this,
maybe it's really in those moments
very near to the gallows,
very near to the death...
lam now about 30 years older than him
so he was very young,
he was 46 years and you know
you will not survive the 16th of October
and hmm, maybe it was really an honest,
the only and last honest thing he did.
He wanted to go back
to being an innocent child again.
What he was when his mother
make the sign of God on his brain'
Maybe, the first time I think about it,
I think he wanted to be a little boy again
and having done nothing of all those crimes.
What a last stand.
Ah, it's a happy room for me,
and for the world, I would say.
And then he's sitting here doing
this and that and he starts like...
Maybe he was thinking why I didn't stop it.
Why?
