Twenty-one men sat in the dock awaiting their fate. Once the
leaders of Europe's mightiest nation who had strutted proudly
across the world stage arrogantly proclaiming the supremacy of the
Aryan race, their faces remained defiant as their empire lay in
ruins outside. Some showed open contempt for the victors who now
sat in judgment over them. Others sat quietly, their faces frozen
and their eyes fixed forward. Some even looked surprised at having
been charged with crimes against humanity, since they were "just
following orders." Their leader, now dead, had commanded them to
murder millions, and as good Germans, they had done just that. Now,
with the world's most terrible war at an end, they would face
justice.
Join us as we teach you about the Nuremberg Trials, the monsters who faced justice, and the radicalism that corrupted an entire nation.
