Ribbentrop: Guilty as Charged
DOI:

Joachim von Ribbentrop was the German Foreign Minister during the Second World War. His public denial of complicity in the Holocaust is refuted by historical research, which indicates that he played a significant role in the rise of the Nazi party, conspired to wage wars of aggression and, most importantly, in his role as Foreign Minister, actively participated in the planning and administration of the Nazi Final Solution. His participation included the confiscation of Jewish property, the spreading of anti-Semitic policy abroad, and lastly, the mass deportation and murder of millions of Jews across Europe. This paper addresses the proposed accusations against the accused Ribbentrop, and ultimately comes to a convincing conclusion that Ribbentrop was indeed, a perpetrator of the Holocaust.
