  • The Nuremberg trials began 75 years ago, as high-ranking Nazis were held accountable on the basis of international law. A look back by a Holocaust survivor, by the son of Hitler's deputy in occupied Poland and by the daughter of a defense lawyer.
    In the final days of World War II, Adolf Hitler and his Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels committed suicide. But Hermann Göring, the Supreme Commander of the Luftwaffe, and other high-ranking Nazis were captured by the Allies and put on trial. The four wartime allied powers - the US, Britain, France and the Soviet Union - had already agreed to do this before hostilities ceased. As the first international tribunal to hold leading representatives of a state personally accountable for crimes under international law, the Nuremberg trials were groundbreaking in legal terms. But they also raised moral issues which rattled many Germans to their core. Niklas Frank had to come to terms with the fact that his father, Hans Frank, was going to be executed. Holocaust survivor Peter Gardosch mainly felt a sense of gratification. Renate Rönn - whose father was assigned to serve as a defense counsel - felt a sense of shame that Germans had committed such crimes, and that it was the Allies who ensured that justice was served, not the Germans themselves. Today, the Nuremberg trials are viewed as a milestone in international law that served as a model for the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Bettina Stehkämper speaks with Niklas Frank, Peter Gardosch and Renate Rönn about the proceedings and how the trials impacted their lives.

    I’ve always wondered what the reaction was when Hitler revealed this plan of mass murder??? Like no one thought, “this guy is out of his freaking mind?” How does one joyfully send innocent children to a gas chamber and sleep at night? The pain is so unimaginable because it wasn’t just the murders, it was psychological torture, rape, starvation and experimentation. How were the guards even able to work there? When I saw the liberation video, I was SICK! Like how TF did this happen??? Sadly, we’ve learned nothing though. It seems we are slowly doomed to repeat.

      The nazi party was infamous for their propaganda. Most of the German public did not know that they were killing jews because Hitler told them that the jews were being resettled. He weaponised German disdain for the Jews and fueled their hatred. When you see people as subhumans destroying your country it's easy to justify their mistreatment. A lot to be learn from this.

The Nuremburg trials were a way for the Jewish people to document an Inquisition. WW2 was only another variation of the same theme, "follow Jesus or die!" It also cemented the US as a modern empire that was willing to provide Justice through documented understanding as opposed to savage retribution. Germany could have been split back into 4 empires.

No person is responsible for their parents actions, yet often they don't want to acknowledge what their parent did, especially when it was something this evil. His honesty helps make sure history is not forgotten and repeated. In my book that makes him a hero.

      Nobody can blame the children. Just like you can't blame the Jews for the Nazis. And you can't blame the Nazis on the children of the Nazis.
      Take the Hitler Youth. This is where things get terribly complicated. These 'children aged somewhere between 7 and 16' in the 1930s were heavily indoctrinated and forced into the hitler youth. You cannot blame them either. It was the system in that case. It's really scary how propaganda can totally shape a person. In many ways Nazi Germany is a clear example of how nurture can be a powerful influence on how we turn out. Nature clearly has a place but nurture is also a big part of our character once we enter adulthood and it STAYS with us for rest of our lives even if we sometimes manage to suppress our childhood influences, it never fully leaves.
