‘the lover of words as I am’: Lord Birkett judge British representative at the Nuremberg Trials. Two Typed Letters Signed one with long Autograph Postscript and Typed Note Signed all to V. H. Collins defending his use of language.

ref. 25574LETTERS: 9 July 1953 and 11 May 1954. NOTE: 14 July 1953. All three items on letterheads of the Royal Courts of Justice Strand London WC2. The third letter gives an excellent indication of Birkett’s pride in his use of language. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The recipient Vere Henry Collins 1872-1966 was an author and grammatical stickler. All three signed ‘Norman Birkett’. In fair condition lightly aged and little grubby. The first letter with a small hole to one corner and the two leaves of the last letter held together with a pin. ONE: ALS 9 July 1953. 1pp 4to. He is adding Collins’s book to his ‘select library on “words”â€™. ‘I am afrait that “finalise” is in frequent use as “I was sent to finalise the arrangements” and it is often used by witnesses in court and sometimes not without protest from me by barristers.’ He ends: ‘But the purpose of this letter is to thank you if somewhat belatedly for the interest you took in the subject of my address and for your kindness in writing to me.’ TWO: ANS 14 July 1953. 1p 4to. He has no objection if Collins adds the note he sends him ‘to the book now at the printers’. He will get ‘One Word and Another’ when it is published. THREE: ALS 11 May 1954. 3pp 4to. He will read the book Collins has sent him with great pleasure ‘for as you know anything written about words has a great fascination for me’. Turning to Collins’s ‘criticism of some remarks of mine uttered in the course of an after-dinner speech’ which have appeared without Birkett’s knowledge or consent he is for the most part in agreement ‘but I take it a little hard that the unpremeditated effusion of the moment should be treated as though it were a carefully prepared essay. I will say no extempore speech can survive a scrutiny such as the scrutiny you send to me.’ With regard to Collins’s seven points he feels he should ‘keep in mind the difficulties of extempore speaking. The perfect word does not always come readily to the tongue. The sentences do not always flow as one could wish and the “verbal expert” seated in his comfortable study might make a little allowance for human frailty!’ In the following paragraph he turns the tables on Collins analysing his use of language in his letter to Birkett. With a veiled criticism of Collins he explains how ‘the lover of words as I am can become a “tiresome pedant” ’ Collins’s criticism has clearly hit home as Birkett adds a fourteen-line postscript in his distinctive close hand ending: ‘I cannot even be sure that the reporter took down accurately what I did say: I had no notes and never dreamt that what I said would receive this unwanted publicity and subject me to the criticism of lovers of good English!’ LETTERS: 9 July 1953 and 11 May 1954. NOTE: 14 July 1953. All three items on letterheads of the Royal Courts of Justice, Strand, unknown

1949ref. 027267Washington D.C.: U.S. Government 1949. 25 pages; inscribed by the author "Frida My best Joe" on the cover and with a hand-written note on The Dodge Hotel Washington D.C. letterhead paper referring to details of this landmark WWII case: ".Dear Frida: General Clay affirmed the confiscation about ten days ago but with some awfully strained wording last Sunday's Times. I am fighting it out by cable. Hope to be in next week. Cordially Joe." Joseph William Kaufman 1899 - 1981 lawyer and judge; ".made his most distinctive mark as a prosecutor in the Nuremberg war crime trials. He functioned as a deputy chief counsel overall and as chief prosecutor at the trial of Alfried Krupp and eleven other executives of the Krupp armaments industries. The Krupp trial held in the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg lasted eleven months and resulted in the conviction of the defendants for the crimes of plunder and using slave labor. They were found not guilty of the charge of waging aggressive war. Kaufman was praised by contemporaries for his handling of the difficult and detailed case." Barry Ryan in the ANB The text of this "memorandum" defends the confiscation of the Krupp holdings refuting the arguments used by the defense against the decree point by point. ".For nearly 11 months the Krupp case unfolded in a sprawling dirty gray sandstone courthouse known as the Palace of Justice where the other major war crimes trials had been held. More than 200 witnesses were called and 4200 exhibits offered and the transcript of the proceedings ran to 13454 pages. Mr. Kaufman's presentation of the evidence was later praised by colleagues as detailed thorough and overwhelming. He told of atrocities and offenses that included murder torture enslavement imprisonment deportation and other abuses against Jews and other civilians as part of a conspiracy with Hitler to dominate the world." 1981 Robert D.

The Nuremberg Trials Original Press Photos Archive

ref. 16000Nuremburg Archive. Archive of 11 original press photos 1945-46 capturing key persons and locations associated with the opening years of the Nuremberg Trials major tribunal for prosecuting Nazi War Criminals. These photos cover the International Military Tribunal when the 24 most prominent leadership were brought to justice. In the end 12 were sentenced to death by hanging 10 were actually hanged 6 were acquitted and the remaining were transferred to Spandau prison to serve their sentence. Notably while the Nuremberg Trials were the instrument of justice for atrocities during WWII they also served as a lasting model for using the international law to answer crimes against humanity and peace. The 11 original Press Photos include photos of Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering seating next to Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess minister of foreign affairs Joachim Von Ribbentrop and Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel The highest-ranking officer of the Nazi Germany. In the back row Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz with dark glasses Grand Admiral Erich Raeder Baldur Von Schirach and Fritz Sauckel. Another photo shows newly appointed Chief Prosecutor Hartley Shawcross who set the tone for the trial to proceed under the rule of law rather than the more popular idea that the trials were vengeance in the spoils of victory. His two day long opening statement included the famous line: "There comes a point when a man must refuse to answer to his leader if he is also to answer to his own conscience". Also photo of is Telford Taylor succeeding as Chief Prosecutor in 1946; as well as witness Kurt Muller during the scene of uncovering the mass graves he helped identify near a concentration camp and defense attorneys for Papen and Hess. Photo of Dr Von Rohrscheid. A photo of RUDOLPH HESS. Photos vary in size from approximately 6"x8" to 8"x10". Most contain a byline verso. Condition good to very good with scattered creases and soiling to verso with some bylines damaged or removed. The photos themselves are clear and arresting testimony to the historic events they portray. Original press photos relating to the trials are rare. The Nuremberg Trials were instrumental in bringing the true extent of Nazi crimes to the public eye as well as set the standard for international justice in a legal setting. unknown books
