 Nuremberg Trials Begin (1945)The Nuremberg Trials, which took place in Nuremberg, Germany, between 1945 and 1949, were a series of trials prosecuting Nazi officials for their participation in WWII and the Holocaust. The first and most famous of these trials, the Trial of the Major War Criminals before the International Military Tribunal, involved 24 of the most important leaders of Nazi Germany, 12 of whom were sentenced to death for crimes against humanity and other offenses.

I am reading an interesting World War II book right now called The Zookeeper's Wife, about a family who ran the Warsaw Zoo on the eve of World War II and how they used the grounds to harbor Jews as well as others escaping the Nazis.

What a tragic day, indeed, but from it all, most notably were two things I shall always remember:
1) The remorseful spoken words by Czech, Seyss-Inquart, when he said, "I hope that this execution is the last act of the tragedy of the Second World War and that the lesson taken from this world war will be that peace and understanding should exist between peoples. I believe in Germany."
and, oh, the critically important...
2) The verdicts from the IMT (International Military Tribunal) were delivered on October 1.
