Judgment at Nuremberg
October 24 – October 26 After War War II, when the crimes against humanity came to light, they were so shockingly horrific that they could not go unpunished. The American-led tribunals held in Nuremberg dealt with horrendous military crimes committed against a civilian population. The target? Jews, Romani, homosexuals, the mentally and physically challenged and others considered inferior to the Aryan Race. This morally-charged courtroom drama peels back the layers of humanity and history, grappling with issues such as shared culpability and the depths to which human cruelty can descend.
