Judgment at Nuremberg

Judgment at Nuremberg
AUGUST 30- SEPTEMBER 18

JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG centers on a military tribunal led by Chief Trial Judge Dan Haywood, before which four judges and prosecutors stand accused of crimes against humanity due to their senior roles in the judicial system of the Nazi German government. The trial centers on questions regarding Germans' individual and collective responsibility for the Holocaust, with the backdrop of a tense international situation including the onset of the Cold War, the Berlin Blockade, and the geopolitical ramification of the later Nuremberg Trials upon German support for the Western Bloc, placing great pressure on Haywood's efforts to reach a just verdict. In addition, the judge faces emotional challenges in his personal relationships with German people outside the courtroom who consistently claim ignorance of Nazi atrocities, but who the judge suspects may have known more than they will admit..
