The Nuremberg Trials occurred in 1945 – 1949, during this time men that were
apart of the Nazi were put on trial for the killing of the Jews. Twelve trials were
held, Major war trials were for people like Hitler, Herman Goering, Joseph
Goebbels, and other high-ranking Nazi officials. Justice trials, doctors’ trials,
were also put on these were used for judges and doctors who were apart of the
Nazi Party help or helped the Nazis in anyway. The Nuremberg Trials were held
in Germany it happened here mostly because the Nazi Party originally started
in Germany. The end of World War I led to a group forming called the Nazi
Party. When the German government faced a time after the war when they
couldn’t provide and protect their people like they should have Hitler took
advantage of the fall in government he planned to become a dictator over the
German people but promised to get rid of the democracy, when Hitler was
appointed chancellor he put Jews in Camps then enabled an act stating the that
“Law for terminating the suffering of people and the nation”. All of the laws
against Jews were not enough Hitler had to put the Jews in concentration
camps such as Auschwitz, Buna, and many others that killed Jews in gas
chambers and crematories or starved them to death and worked them to the
breaking point with very little food or water. Six Million Jews dead the end of
World War II lead to the justice of the Jews that had did and reassurance for
those alive. The Nazis would be but on trial for what they had done. The Nazis
that could be captured were put in front of judges and attorneys from all over
the world when it came time for Hitler to be put on trial and executed he shot
himself, Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbels, and Herman Goering had all
committed suicide before being executed. The other Nazis that had not been
put to death were sentenced for 5 – 25 years in prison. The Nuremburg trails
were a way for the Jews to finally have justice and the survivers assurence.
