Nuremberg, 1945–1946
In the aftermath of unimaginable destruction and genocide, the world sought justice.
The Nuremberg Trials convened to hold Nazi leaders accountable for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.
Figures like Hermann Göring, Rudolf Hess, and Albert Speer stood trial, their actions laid bare before the world.
The trials set historic precedents in international law, defining crimes that no individual, regardless of rank, could escape.
Survivors and witnesses testified to atrocities, ensuring the horrors of the Holocaust and war were not forgotten.
The process was imperfect, but it signaled a new commitment to justice and human rights.
Nuremberg's legacy endures as a solemn reminder of the cost of hatred and the necessity of accountability.
