Judgment At Nuremberg Flashcards
What evidence did the Allies find to prompt a trial against Nazi leaders? Why was the trial held at Nuremberg?
The Allies found a significant amount of evidence during World War II that implicated Nazi leaders in various war crimes and atrocities. This evidence included documents, testimonies, and physical evidence such as concentration camps and mass graves. The Nuremberg Trials were held in Nuremberg, Germany, because it was a symbolic location for the Nazi Party. Additionally, the city had intact courtrooms and prison facilities, making it a practical choice for the trials. The trials aimed to hold the Nazi leaders accountable for their actions and establish principles of international law for future cases. It was an important step in seeking justice and bringing closure to the atrocities committed during the war.
