The famous little boy in the photo was one of the millions of European Jews that survived the Holocaust. He has a long article in Wikipedia. He had been born in Palestine and his family had returned to Warsaw before the war. His name was Tsvi Nussbaum. He ended up in Israel where he died in 2012.
I am very disapointed that the lecturer incorrectly identified the small boy with his hands raised as dating from the fall of Warsaw , on September 28th 1939. This is a glaring and inexcusable inaccuracy. This picture of this child is actually one of 48-52 pictures included in the summary report entitled” Es Gibt Keinen Judischen Wohnbezirk In Warschau Mehr” created By SS General Jurgen Stroop, to document the final liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto which began began on April 19, 1943 and ended on the 16th of May, 1943.
Interesting presentation. However I'm afraid to say that the lessons learned in Nuremberg and the concept of never again have been lost. Darfur, Rwanda, the Uyghurs, just to name a few.
What a terrific presentation. So difficult to cover such a broad topic in an hour. Yet it was done with eloquence and clarity. Lastly the ability to humanize the victims and put names and faces to the prosecutors and the work they did was powerful. Time very well spent watching on UA-cam.
Excellent presentation about a subject that it is still relevant. As a law researcher I love to watch presentations made by talented professors to inspire me to be better. Thank you!
Nuremberg didn’t go far enough! The Allies, despite the Cold War, should have put aside their political differences and insisted that the trials be continued as many senior SS Nazis had gone underground. Prosecutors, David Maxwell Fyffe and Elwyn Jones were brilliant in their cross examination of the defendants at Nuremberg! However, at the ‘Doctors Trials’ they were absent, which on hindsight was tragic, as a large number of the Nazi doctors were able to wriggle out of their guilt, and were either released or given light prison sentences!
Informative presentation. It’s interesting to consider that even these trials were going on, the full scope of Auschwitz and death camps weren’t known so imagine the shock of these disclosures and revelations.
I've just listened to the audiobook, 'The OdeSSa file' about after war SS activity. How active were ww2 vets and SS in hiding their kind? Are there any other books / resources on this? Enjoyed this talk.
A well organised, systematic, clear, presentation of the facts and the historical narrative, as well as the key historical characters in the narrative. Well done and tastefully presented. The legal framework for this entire enterprise is a testimony to an age where "truth" mattered and where "ideology" was set aside for factual, irrefutable evidence of malfeasance and the plan of genocide and world domination.

Still inconclusive, according to the very article that you cite.

I'm glad to read this comment because I was confused when he said it, as I had also associated that picture with the Liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto
The "D" in NSDAP stood for Deutsche (German) not democratic. There was absolutely nothing democratic about them.

Thank you David S . I agree entirely.
No one is doing anything about the Uyghurs at present like it does't exist.Appalling.

Absolutely agree on that
This was an excellent presentation and well worth my time.

Excellent lecture/presentation and comments. We never stop learning.

Great overview of events without getting into the deep details. I enjoyed it very much.
He’s a good commentator.
Fantastic content
The first questioner's voice sounds very much like that of Diane Rehm.

Operation Paperclip smuggled Nazi scientists to safety and then productivity in USA government programs, most notably Wernher Von Braun.
I recommend "The Real Odessa" by Uki Goni and "The Nazis Next Door" by Eric Lichtblau.
Dachau isn't near Nürnberg either, it's a Munich suburb.
Relatively near, it's Bavaria
