“In fifty years some son of bitch is going to say this never happened.”
- Dwight Eisenhower explaining why he had the Army Signal Corps film what the Army had found in the death camps.
This is the film, much of it shot and edited by George Stevens, that was shown at the War Crimes Trial in Nuremberg:

Goering’s eloquent (over eight hours) defense collapsed during the first 15 minutes of the film, and he was resigned to his fate.
That was a chief objective of the Nuremberg trials. To document what happened. There’s literally tons of evidence stored in The Hague, Netherlands that substantiate the holocaust. And some continue to deny.
Great quote.
My uncle was in 3rd Army and liberated one of these camps and he said when you hear liars and fools utter this garbage about it not happening you tell them I saw it, the mass murder, the ovens, the stacks of bodies and you can tell them they are lying SOBs!
