Memorium Nuremberg Trials

Memorium Nuremberg Trials - A fairly new and modern memorial museum about the legendary Nuremberg Trials, housed in the very courthouse that the trials took place in, now commodified in a state-of-the-art exhibition that may be a bit short on authentic artefacts but is rich in well-presented information. You can also see the original courtroom 600, though its layout was changed after the historic trials and use of it as a working courtroom has only recently been discontinued (in early 2020). > More background info > What there is to see > Location > Access and costs > Time required > Combinations with other dark destinations > Combinations with non-dark destinations > Photos More background info: The Nuremberg Trials were the mother of all war crime tribunals, the most significant case in the history of modern international law. The Allies of WWII had long planned to put on trial those Nazi leaders that had not only plunged them into the deadliest war in history but had also committed war crimes on an unprecedented scale. The four counts agreed on were: conspiracy, crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity (and it was under the latter that the Holocaust was covered). It was the first time that those responsible for such crimes at the highest level were to be held accountable for their wrongdoing. And the Nuremberg Trials were to become the blueprint of all war crimes tribunals and indictments for crimes against humanity ever since.
