ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny:  Now more than ever!

August 10, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Just so you know what Talmudic vengeance looks like, imagine these
volumes of transcripts and documents pertaining to the Nuremberg Trials:

Online future for Nuremberg archive

      By Jane Standley
      BBC correspondent in New York

      One million pages of documents from the Nuremberg trials of Nazi
war criminals will be made available on the internet if Boston's
HarvardUniversity can find the necessary money.

      Harvard's Law School has already posted 7,000 pages on one of its
own web sites but it says it needs as much as $7m to make the entire
Nuremberg archive available.

      The massive project to put the one million pages of transcripts
from the Nuremberg trials onto the internet is likely to take 10 years
to complete.

      The pages have been accessible to the public for the past 50 years
though only a few people - academics and hunters of war criminals - have
sifted through the mountains of material.

      But the papers are now becoming very fragile and the idea to put
them onto the internet came about as part of an effort to preserve them.

      Seven thousand pages - a volume which covers only a third of the
first 13 trials held between 1946 and 1949 - were posted on a Harvard
website but then the money to continue ran out.

      The university is now looking for financial grants and gifts to
continue.

      No startling new information about the Holocaust is expected to
come to light if the massive internet archive is completed but scholars
have welcomed the move.

      They say it will make the Holocaust more immediate to readers and
will also make the study of areas such as slave labour, the torture of
prisoners-of-war and medical experimentation on humans more accessible.
