Plot summary

How, in November 1945, after the end of the World War II and the fall of the Third Reich, the international prosecutors participating in the first Nuremberg trial —formally, the International Military Tribunal— built their case against the top Nazi war criminals using the films and records produced by the own regime, obsessed with documenting everything in its long path of infamy and crime.

âThe war was over but there was no

âThe war was over but there was no peace.â? Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today is the documentary complement to the dramatic Judgment at Nuremberg. Both feature the themes of good and evil and how one can determine morality in a subjective world. The opening comments of the prosecutor in the documentary seem as certain as the fictional character in the drama. At that time and place - post-war Germany in 1945 and 1946 - it certainly seemed that those on trial must have steadfastly supported the sinister atrocities of the German Reich. Judgment at Nuremberg shows that that interpretation is not as obvious as it seems at first but Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today uses rare clips to further detail the accusations. The footage of the trials is sparse (only about thirty hours in total) but the documentary producers compiled other recordings of German life during the 1930s to supplement their film. It is haunting to see German citizens go about their lives in factories unwittingly preparing for war. It is also compelling to see the flames of World War II arise from the ashes of the World War I. Nevertheless, the idea of moral relativity remains. Some of the defendants seem so indignant that they are on trial, perhaps because they believed staunchly in their actions. Some deny that they did anything wrong, some protect Adolf Hitler, and some beg for mercy. To me, the main lesson of the Nuremberg trials is that humanity remains capable of anything. Some may find the actions horrendous but others believe that their deeds were entirely justified. It is a tall task for all global governments to protect the rights of every minority.

Interesting as an artifact. Created by the War

Interesting as an artifact. Created by the War Department in 1948 and shown in Germany but not America, evidently because the government wanted to unite with Germany against Russia, whereas in 1945 it was the other way around. Most of the footage is extremely familiar to viewers of WWII docs, but still worth a look to see what the government view was at the time. Nicely restored with the very busy Liev Schreiber narrating.

Left me absolutely speechless. Never before seen footage

Left me absolutely speechless. Never before seen footage of the Nuremberg trail and Nazi history. Those sick, demented fucks. I hope the World never forgets that horrific time.
