Professor Rohl:Societies think they operate by something called morality, but they don't. They operate by something called law. You're not guilty of anything merely by working at Auschwitz. Eight thousand people worked at Auschwitz. Precisely 19 have been convicted, and only six for murder. To prove murder, you have to prove intent. That's the law. The question is never was it wrong, but was it legal. And not by our laws. No. By the laws at the time

Societies think they operate by something called morality

00:00:06.589 --> 00:00:08.009

but they don't

00:00:08.174 --> 00:00:12.511

They operate by something called law

00:00:12.595 --> 00:00:18.225

You're not guilty of anything merely by working at Auschwitz

00:00:18.309 --> 00:00:21.562

Eight thousand people worked at Auschwitz

00:00:21.645 --> 00:00:27.151

Precisely 19 have been convicted and only six for murder

00:00:27.234 --> 00:00:32.156

To prove murder you have to prove intent

00:00:32.239 --> 00:00:34.998

That's the law

00:00:34.158 --> 00:00:37.087

The question is never was it wrong

00:00:37.953 --> 00:00:40.831

but was it legal

00:00:40.915 --> 00:00:45.669

And not by our laws no

00:00:45.753 --> 00:00:49.084

By the laws at the time But isn't that

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:06.088

تعتقـد المجـتمعات أنها تعمـل بشيء يسـمى الأخـلاق

00:00:06.255 --> 00:00:07.632

لكنهـا ليسـت كذلك

00:00:07.798 --> 00:00:11.719

إنهـا تعـمل بشيء يسـمى القـانون

00:00:12.887 --> 00:00:17.099

لسـت مذنبـا في أي شـيء لمجـرد العـمل في أوشـفيتز

00:00:18.267 --> 00:00:22.064

ثمـانية آلاف من البشـر عمـلوا في أوشـفيتز

00:00:22.231 --> 00:00:26.611

وتحـديدا تم القـبض على 19 ومنهـم 6 فقـط بتهـمة القـتل

00:00:27.237 --> 00:00:31.095

لكي تثبت القـتل عليك أن تثبت القصـد

00:00:32.116 --> 00:00:34.244

هـذا هو القـانون

00:00:34.041 --> 00:00:38.623

لم يكـ ن السـؤال أبـدا هل كان خطـأ

00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.583

بل هل كان مشـروعا

00:00:40.075 --> 00:00:44.796

وليـس بقـوانين اليـوم لا

00:00:45.672 --> 00:00:47.382

لكن بقـوانين ذلك العصـر

00:00:47.549 --> 00:00:50.986

لكن أليـس هـذا مـاذا

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.491

Les sociétés s'imaginent qu'elles fonctionnent

00:00:03.536 --> 00:00:05.026

sur un principe

00:00:05.071 --> 00:00:07.972

appelé la moralité Mais c'est faux

00:00:08.997 --> 00:00:12.307

C'est sur un principe appelé en fait la loi

00:00:12.345 --> 00:00:15.837

On n'est pas coupable de quoi que ce soit

00:00:15.882 --> 00:00:18.248

simplement en ayant travaillé à Auschwitz

00:00:18.284 --> 00:00:21.276

Au delà de 9000 personnes ont travaillé

00:00:21.321 --> 00:00:25.223

à Auschwitz Eh bien 19 de ces gens exactement

00:00:25.258 --> 00:00:27.419

ont été condamnés dont six pour meurtre

00:00:27.046 --> 00:00:30.952

Pour prouver le meurtre il faut prouver l'intention

00:00:32.465 --> 00:00:33.796

C'est la loi

00:00:33.833 --> 00:00:37.929

La question n'est jamais était ce mal

00:00:37.097 --> 00:00:40.939

mais était ce légal

00:00:40.973 --> 00:00:43.635

Et attention pas selon nos lois

00:00:43.676 --> 00:00:46.304

Non Selon les lois

00:00:46.346 --> 00:00:49.782

de l'époque Mais c'est assez

00:00:49.816 --> 00:00:52.148

Quoi Étroit

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:09.425

Leute denken dass Sie mit der Moral operieren aber so ist es nicht sie operieren mit den Gesetzen

00:00:11.427 --> 00:00:19.894

Ihr seid nicht schuldig wenn ihr in Auschwitz arbeitet Dort arbeiteten 8000 Menschen

00:00:21.187 --> 00:00:27.086

19 von Ihnen wurden verurteilt nur 6 von ihnen wegen Mord

00:00:28.277 --> 00:00:33.574

Wenn ihr Mord beweisen wollt müsst ihr die Absicht beweisen so ist das Gesetz

00:00:34.003 --> 00:00:40.331

Die Frage ist nicht die ob es falsch war sondern ob es legal war

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:46.042

Nicht mit unseren Gesetzen sondern dieser Zeit

00:00:47.463 --> 00:00:59.141

Ist das nicht gekürtzt worden Das Gesetz ist gekürtzt aber ich erwarte von den Leuten die

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:06.505

Societies think they operate by something called morality

00:00:06.589 --> 00:00:08.009

but they don't

00:00:08.174 --> 00:00:12.511

They operate by something called law

00:00:12.595 --> 00:00:18.225

You're not guilty of anything merely by working at Auschwitz

00:00:18.309 --> 00:00:21.562

Eight thousand people worked at Auschwitz

00:00:21.645 --> 00:00:27.151

Precisely 19 have been convicted and only six for murder

00:00:27.234 --> 00:00:32.156

To prove murder you have to prove intent

00:00:32.239 --> 00:00:34.998

That's the law

00:00:34.158 --> 00:00:37.087

The question is never was it wrong

00:00:37.953 --> 00:00:40.831

but was it legal

00:00:40.915 --> 00:00:45.669

And not by our laws no

00:00:45.753 --> 00:00:49.084

By the laws at the time But isn't that

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.096

Masyarakat masyarakat berpikir mereka bertindak oleh sesuatu disebut moralitas

00:00:06.012 --> 00:00:07.076

Tetapi mereka tidak

00:00:07.081 --> 00:00:10.068

Mereka bertindak oleh sesuatu yang disebut hukum

00:00:12.309 --> 00:00:17.168

Kamu tidaklah bersalah atas apapun moralitas dengan kerja pada Auschwitz

00:00:18.001 --> 00:00:21.053

8 000 orang bekerja pada Auschwitz

00:00:22.002 --> 00:00:26.078

Dengan tepat 19 telah dihukum dan hanya 6 karena pembunuhan

00:00:26.083 --> 00:00:30.005

Untuk membuktikan pembunuhan kamu harus membuktikan tujuan

00:00:31.091 --> 00:00:33.065

Itulah hukum

00:00:34.047 --> 00:00:39.077

Soalnya adalah tidak pernah Apakah itu salah tetapi Apakah itu legal

00:00:40.054 --> 00:00:47.044

Dan bukan oleh hukum kami tidak oleh hukum pada waktu

00:00:47.072 --> 00:00:50.001

Tetapi bukan itu Apa

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.092

Общество полагает что опирается на то

00:00:04.128 --> 00:00:06.964

что называется моралью но это не так

00:00:08.466 --> 00:00:11.594

Мы опираемся лишь на законы

00:00:12.097 --> 00:00:17.725

Нельзя обвинять человека в том что он работал в Освенциме

00:00:18.226 --> 00:00:21.027

Там работали восемь тысяч человек

00:00:21.896 --> 00:00:26.734

девятнадцать из них были осуждены и лишь шестеро за убийство

00:00:26.901 --> 00:00:30.002

Чтобы доказать виновность человека в убийстве необходимо доказать

00:00:30.196 --> 00:00:32.049

что убийство было умышленным

00:00:32.615 --> 00:00:33.741

Таков закон

00:00:35.576 --> 00:00:38.788

Поэтому вопрос состоит не в правильности действия

00:00:39.997 --> 00:00:40.054

а в его законности

00:00:40.873 --> 00:00:44.877

При этом законность оценивается не по современным

00:00:45.997 --> 00:00:47.296

а по тогдашним меркам

00:00:48.214 --> 00:00:49.382

Но ведь это

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.922

Las sociedades creen que funcionan por algo llamado moralidad

00:00:06.172 --> 00:00:07.549

pero no es así

00:00:07.715 --> 00:00:11.636

Funcionan por algo llamado ley

00:00:12.804 --> 00:00:17.998

No eres culpable de algo sólo por trabajar en Auschwitz

00:00:18.184 --> 00:00:21.098

8 000 personas trabajaban en Auschwitz

00:00:22.146 --> 00:00:26.526

Precisamente 19 han sido condenados y sólo 6 por asesinato

00:00:27.151 --> 00:00:31.864

Para probar el asesinato tienes que probar la intención

00:00:32.999 --> 00:00:34.158

Esa es la ley

00:00:34.325 --> 00:00:38.538

La pregunta nunca es Estuvo mal

00:00:38.705 --> 00:00:40.498

Sino Fue legal

00:00:40.665 --> 00:00:44.711

Y no según nuestras leyes No

00:00:45.587 --> 00:00:47.297

Según las leyes de esa época

00:00:47.463 --> 00:00:49.002

Pero eso no es

00:00:49.215 --> 00:00:51.301

Movie Summary

The story of Michael Berg, a German lawyer who, as a teenager in the late 1950s, had an affair with an older woman, Hanna, who then disappeared only to resurface years later as one of the defendants in a war crimes trial stemming from her actions as a concentration camp guard late in the war. He alone realizes that Hanna is illiterate and may be concealing that fact at the expense of her freedom.
