...Rosenberg/Vrba may be "content to feel that he himself is not taken in by what he believes to be the myths surrounding the holocaust" but others might be interested in knowing who these alleged Zionist conspirators were.

In civilian life, he often took on unpopular cases in the South, including the defense of a black who had murdered a white couple.
