Rosenburg:

When you think of Germany in World War Two, you probably think of Hitler. Do you ever think of the people who helped Hitler? I doubt it. One of his most important helpers was Alfred Rosenberg. He was born in 1893. His job was Hitler’s chief anti-Jew ideologist. This basically means that he had to come up with ideas about what the Jews should be allowed to do and what they should not be allowed to do. He also thought up the idea of being against the Jews. His campaign to exterminate the Jews was very effective and influential. After the war, he was found guilty of war crimes and sentenced to death at Nuremberg in 1946. When asked if he had any last words, Rosenberg did not respond, unlike most of the German officers who ended their life still proclaiming "Heil Hitler".
