Description: Nazi war criminals, the international court that prosecuted them, and how the Nuremberg trial that gripped the world's attention 60 years ago might be relevant to our times will be the focus of a documentary film and discussion presented by Pacifica Peace People on Sunday afternoon, January 23, at the Sanchez Concert Hall in Pacifica.
The screening of "Nuremberg War Crimes Trial", a documentary by Court TV, will begin at 3 p.m. It is being cosponsored by Pacifica Performances.
The film recounts the 10-month trial that began in November 1945 in Nuremberg, Germany, to hold some of Hitler's top Nazi officials accountable for, among other things, crimes against humanity and waging an aggressive war.
The film provides a cautionary tale for the present. During a discussion following the screening, a Pacifica Peace People moderator will pose such questions as: Will state- or sectarian-sponsored hatred and violence against innocent peoples continue unabated, or will tolerance and justice prevail? Could our own country be held to account for torture at Abu Ghraib or in Afghan prisons, or for other war crimes that may come to light? What is the responsibility of individuals to ensure that crimes such as the Holocaust are never repeated in their names?
The film?s executive producer is Steve Johnson; senior director is Michael I. Butler. Parental discretion is advised.
A $5 donation is requested at the door, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Refreshments will be served.
All you need to know.
WOW!! Talk about Overkill!! You can tell these Jerks weren't even born then!! They never even saw a movieor a picture of a Death Camp. Anything to disgrace the American Soldier!
Isn't that Amy Goodman ? The commie from Pacifica radio ?
More malinformed idiotic nonsense from the left. But this has become their specialty.
Forcing men to get naked and wear panties on their head is not a war crime..
Know anyone in the area that throw together a quickie Freep?
OH..Golly! I feel so bad that I won't be able to attend cuase its not in my town! I feel so bad cause..., well, what a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Guess I'll just have to spend this Sunday cleaning the lint out of my dryer vent.
And what might the refreshments be? One can only wonder.
I'm thinking whatever they will be, Koolaid will be served.
I'm old enough to remember the first films shown on Movietone News after the camps were entered by the allies. It was horrible.
Abu Ghraib was a fraternity hazing in comparison.
Pacifica is the keyword. Pacifica anything is most likely leftist, "progressive", etc.
To even invite a comparison of what happend in Iraq and nazi death camps is a slap in the face to those butchered by Hitler.
I was listenig to Pacifica radio one day and thought I was listneing to 1930's Germany, Mrs Goodman and the gang were rallying a group of college kids and it sounded right out a movie like you were listening to Goebbels and Hitler. I really did think it was a 1930's radio rebroadcast until they went to commercial.
'Nazi' and 'Nuremberg' are other key words. Left-wing maroons that believe that their beloved communist countries didn't kill multi-millions more people than Hitler ever dreamed of. But that's different because Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc. were communists, and only the National Socialist Hitler was a mass murderer.
sorry about the DUPE
I would comment, but that would dignify these mindless cattle with the suggestion that they have intelligence beyond a household pet's.
"Forcing men to get naked and wear panties on their head is not a war crime."
Hmmm, I believe some of the "progressive" types would probably enjoy this??
;-)
Nazis were given carte blanche by whom; tried by whom? (Hint: not the same).
Abu Ghraib perps (hint hint: not remotely in the same league, but held to a higher, i.e. civilized standard) were tried and convicted by whom?
