Twenty-four high-ranking Nazis go on trial in Nuremberg, Germany, for atrocities committed during World War II beginning on November 20, 1945.
The Nuremberg trials were conducted by an international tribunal made up of representatives from the United States, the Soviet Union, France and Great Britain. It was the first trial of its kind in history, and the defendants faced charges ranging from crimes against peace, to crimes of war, to crimes against humanity. Lord Justice Geoffrey Lawrence, the British member, presided over the proceedings, which lasted 10 months and consisted of 216 court sessions.

Reading about this or perhaps even streaming the movie "Judgement at Nuremberg" might be wise for many these days.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen Thanks for the excellent suggestion. It was long ago when I watched "Judgement at Nuremberg" - and past time to do so, again.
