In Courtroom 600 in the Nuremberg Palace of Justice, the most historic and perhaps significant trial of the twentieth century began. As Justice Jackson, Chief Prosecutor for the United States spoke, 21 men, leading figures and officers in the Nazi regime accused of atrocities that the world had never experienced, sat in the prisoners’ dock, stone-faced, listening through headphones that relayed the words into their own tongue. For the next 11 months, prosecutors would methodically reveal to the court (and the world) the heinous crimes that these men perpetrated and permitted in the years leading up to and during World War II.
