SHOWS: LUENEBURG, GERMANY (APRIL 20, 2015) (REUTERS - ACCESS ALL) . (SOUNDBITE) (German) EVA PUSZTAI-FAHIDI, AUSCHWITZ SURVIVOR FROM BUDAPEST AND JOINT PLAINTIFF SAYING: (AUDIO AS INCOMING) “If I think back at the long period of time (that has passed), the 70 years that have gone by between me leaving Auschwitz-Birkenau and now, this trial is one of the most important events in my life for me. Because if you were once an inmate in Auschwitz-Birkenau, you know something that no-one else (in the world) will know.” 6. JOURNALIST WRITING 7. (SOUNDBITE) (German) EVA PUSZTAI-FAHIDI, AUSCHWITZ SURVIVOR FROM BUDAPEST AND JOINT PLAINTIFF SAYING: (AUDIO AS INCOMING) “All the things that have been done (to us) in Auschwitz-Birkenau, were a sin. And it remains a sin. It is a sin today and will be a sin for all eternity. I believe it never expires.” 8. NEWS CONFERENCE 9. (SOUNDBITE) (English) HEDY BOHM, AUSCHWITZ SURVIVOR FROM NEW YORK AND JOINT PLAINTIFF “Basically, I’m just hoping that the law, the trial will come to the judgement that he was guilty and establish the new rules for the future, for your generation, where these things cannot be done irresponsibly. They have to know that the justice system is there and it is going to be served. Those who commit crimes today must know they will be held responsible in the future. And never again will they be able to just plead ‘I’m a cog in the machinery, I didn’t kill’. 10. BOHM SPEAKING TO PRESS 11. (SOUNDBITE) (English) HEDY BOHM, AUSCHWITZ SURVIVOR FROM NEW YORK AND JOINT PLAINTIFF “Believe it or not, by this time it means very little. Personally, I don’t feel vengeance, I don’t want to see him go to jail. It’s too late for it. He is too old. And I do believe that the important part is for the law to be established and for the change to be made for the future generations.” 12. (SOUNDBITE) (German) CORNELIUS NESTLER, REPRESENTATIVE FOR OTHER JOINT PLAINTIFFS, SAYING: “Well, the reason that very old people are now being tried, is that one has waited five decades long. And that is very regrettable. Regrettable for all the parties involved. It would have been better if the defendant had been much younger, it would have been much better for those who have lost their entire families in Auschwitz and cannot be part of this trial as joint plaintiffs. It would have been much better if it was earlier. Mr Walter and I represent a group of more than 50 Auschwitz survivors of whom only 12 were physically able to come here.” 13. NESTLER SPEAKING TO PRESS 14. (SOUNDBITE) (German) CORNELIUS NESTLER, REPRESENTATIVE FOR OTHER JOINT PLAINTIFFS, SAYING: “Yes, justice has failed us over five decades by not taking on this trial that they should have tried.” 15. NESTLER SPEAKING TO PRESS 16. (SOUNDBITE) (German) CORNELIUS NESTLER, REPRESENTATIVE FOR OTHER JOINT PLAINTIFFS, SAYING: “The most important thing of the the trial is that justice be served for the joint plaintiffs. That they still have the chance to tell their story. And that they see that everybody will held be responsible who took part in the murder of their families.”
