FRANK: One has to take the diary as a whole. You can not go through 43 volumes and pick out single sentences and separate them from their context.

FRANK: Some of the words are terrible. I myself must admit that I was shocked at many of the words which I had used.
DR. SEIDL: Witness, under Number USA-297 the Prosecution has submitted a document which deals with a conference which you apparently had in 1939 or 1940 with an office of the Chief of the Administration Ober-Ost. I shall have the document handed to you and ask you to tell me whether the report of that man, as it is contained in the document, agrees with what you have said. It is on Page 1, at the bottom, the second paragraph.
