Documentary Evidence of Germany's Proposed Systematic

Goering leaned forward in the
dock to listen attentively.
- Streicher sat bolt upright when
his name was mentioned in the
25,000-Word indictment read by
Sidney S. Aldern-tan, of the Am-
erican prosecuting staff. His
lawyers had sought without suc-
cess to have his "mental capacity"
eXartiined:
•Rosenberg remained aroof from
the proceedings until he heard:
"Defendant Rosenberg stated
anti-Semitism is the unifying
element of the reconstruction of
Germany. On another occasion he
also stated that Germany will re-
gard the Jewish- question as
solved only after the very last
Jew has left the continent."

NUREMBERG, (JTA)—Documentary eVidence' of the
Nazi Government's plans for systematic annihilation of the
'Jews of Europe was presented at the war crimes trial here
by Mai. Frank Wallis, on behalf of U. S. prosecutor Justice
Robert H. Jackson:
Maj. Wallis submitted a memo-
rand-um issued by Julius Streich-
er, and also other documents, as
proof that the pogroms which
swept Germany on Nov. 10, 1938,
were carefully planned, down to
minute details on how shops and
synagogues were to be destroyed,
and what clothes the rioters
should wear.
He also presented evidence• of
a meeting, under Goering's
chairmanship, held later in No-
vember, 1938, at which planS
Were discused for carrying out
Hitler's order that the Jewish
question must be "solved."
Committed to Murder Jews
• Maj. Wallis' presentation fol-
lowed the line taken by Justice
Jackson in his opening address
in which he charged that "the
Most savage and numerous
crimes planned and committed
by the Nazis were those against
the Jews."
"It. is - my purpose to show a
plan and design, to which all
Nazis were ! fanatically corn-.
mated ; to annihilate all Jewish
people," Justice Jackson. said.
"The perSecution of the Jews was
a continuous. °an d deliberate
policy. It was a policy directed
against other nations as well as
against the Jews themselves.
Anti-Semitism was promoted to
divide • and embitter the demo-
cratic peoples and•to - soften their
resistance to the Nazi aggression."
"The 'conspiracy or common
plan to exterminate the Jew was
so methodically and thoroughly
pursued that, despite the Ger-
man defeat and Nazi prostration,
this Nazi aim largely has suc-
ceeded," he stressed. "Only the
remnants of the European Jew-
ish population remain in Ger-
manY; in the countries which
Germany occupied, and in those

60 Pct. Have Perished
"Of the 9,600,000 Jews who
lived in Nazi dominated Europe,
60 per cent are authoritatively
estimated to have perished; 5;-
700,000 Jews are missing from
the countries in which they for-
merly lived, and over 4,500,000
cannot be accounted for by the _
normal death rate nor by emi-
gration; nor are they included
among displaced, persons. History
does not record - a crime ever
perpetrated against so many vic-
times or one ever carried out
with such . calculated cruelty."
