जब मुकर गए हिटलर के अफसर [Who was responsible for the Holocaust?]

न्यूरेमबेर्ग ट्रायल्स के दौरान जिन नाजी अफसरों के खिलाफ मुकदमा चला उन सबने एक सुर में कहा था कि होलोकॉस्ट में उनका सीधे तौर पर कोई हाथ नहीं था. उन्होंने जो किया वो सब हिटलर के आदेश पर किया. कुछ ने तो यहां तक कह दिया कि उन्हें तो होलोकॉस्ट के बारे में कोई जानकारी तक नहीं थी.

When the trials began, one defendant after another pleaded "not guilty." "The mass killings exclusively and without influence were carried through by order of the head of the State, Adolf Hitler," announced Julius Streicher, a fanatical antisemite and editor of the inflammatory newspaper "Der Stürmer," which spread Nazi propaganda for years. The senior Nazis showed no remorse and systematically placed the blame solely on Hitler. Hitler, however, could no longer be prosecuted, having committed suicide in the final days of the war. But all attempts at denial were of no avail. The evidence was overwhelming. Films from concentration camps. Testimony from survivors. Letters and orders from the perpetrators. For the first time, the world saw the atrocities that had been committed in the camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Buchenwald and Bergen-Belsen.
