Nuremberg Remembered
   




(13 minutes) The Nuremberg Trials, held from 1945-1949, were a galvanizing moment in history, international law, and human rights. This documentary by Rebecca Cohen was created especially for Pursuing Human Dignity, a conference sponsored by Facing History and Ourselves and Harvard Law School. The film combines both archival footage and modern-day interviews with trial participants who served in a variety of roles, including members of the legal team for the prosecution and a journalist reporting on the events for the press.
