Nuremberg Trials

April 19th, 2012 is Holocaust Memorial Day. Today we are presenting a 1947 documentary about the Nuremberg Trials. The trials were held in 1945-47 to try the highest ranking Nazis against crimes of humanity. The trials were held in Nuermberg, Germany.

The Allies had won the war and found themselves with the very ugly task of prosecuting the Nazis. The trials were held in the Palace of Justice.  Hitler and Himmler had committed suicide at the end of the war but many top ranking Nazis were still alive and captured by the Allied Forces. The world has just witnessed the Holocaust and the Second World War. This was a chance for justice.  Here is a powerful photo to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day.

    what kind of idiot is giving this a low rating?

  • Tero

    I dont understand why people always rate everything with either 1 or 6 star. When you look at average rating in this site its 5 stars. Start rating honestly based on quality, resolutin etc. If you rate movie 4 it does not mean it shit it means its not the best out there.

    PS: if only the rating system would be more like in IMDB

    This one belongs in political history, crime history, & court cases. Seriously, would you like someone to help you with categorizing? I know it must be a daunting task to find, watch and categorize so many documentaries, but you’ve got to be more selective. I like sorting things… I have time during the days, and I love this site. What do you think?

    My dad was a ww2 vet and POW and he only told me of the horrors he witnessed when he knew he was dying in 2006.
