The second part of this series will be about the trial which took place in a Jerusalem district court in the mid 1950s and it's erroneously known as the Castner trial. He was the star witness. He was the subject of much of the proceedings, but he was not on trial. He was never prosecuted, nor was he the defendant. He was a witness at this trial. Um, we'll get to that. Hopefully, trial. Um, we'll get to that. Hopefully, this trial story will be three max four parts. Today will be an overview for, you know, the general background, what instigated the trial. Next week hopefully will be the trial itself. And finally, the following week will be the aftermath and the legacy of the trial. And this last part would include the subsequent public reaction to the trial as it has been shaped uh over the decades by various writers on the topic
