弗兰克在濯足节这一天出庭辩护，就在莱比锡圣托马斯教堂例行演出《马太受难曲》的后一天。杜德在给远在美国的妻子写的信中说道，他原本以为弗兰克会“很难缠”，有鉴于他在波兰的“恶劣”记录，但结果并不怎么需要法官对他交叉询问。弗兰克实际上承认了他有罪，这是审判中极富戏剧性的时刻之一。
“他皈依为天主教徒了，”杜德写道，“我猜想也是如此。”64
弗兰克很平静。他已经尽了义务，走过一道道黑色大门时，心境是乐观的。法国、英国和美国的法官们一定会欣赏他的坦率。“上帝是一个慷慨的主人。”当吉尔伯特博士问到是什么让他选择了这个方向时，他这样回答。
弗兰克补充说，“最后一根稻草”是一篇新闻报道。
“前几天，我在报纸上看到一则告示，说慕尼黑的一名犹太律师、我父亲最好的朋友之一雅各比博士在奥斯维辛集中营被杀害了。然后，当赫斯证实他如何消灭了250万犹太人的时候，我意识到就是他冷酷地屠杀了我父亲最好的朋友——一个善良、正直、慈祥的老人——和数百万像他一样的无辜者，而我完全没有阻止它的发生！诚然，我并没有亲手杀死他，但我说过的话和罗森堡说过的话促成了那些事！”65
就像妻子布里吉特一样，他以坚信自己并没有亲手杀死任何人来安慰自己。也许这能拯救他。
