∻Answer∻ ⚹ Julius Streicher could be held accountable for incitement to genocide. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Incitement to Genocide and Crimes against Humanity ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Julius Streicher, as the editor of the anti-Semitic publication Der Stürmer, played a significant role in the Nazi propaganda machine. He was charged with crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg Trials because his work was instrumental in spreading anti-Semitic ideology and hate, which fueled the environment that allowed for the Holocaust to occur. Even though he did not personally murder Jews, his actions contributed to the persecution and eventual genocide of the Jewish people. The charges against him were based on the principle that incitement to commit genocide is a crime in itself, as it can lead to mass violence and atrocities. ⚹◊What role did Julius Streicher play in promoting anti-Semitic propaganda during the Holocaust?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
