Soviet Judgment at Nuremberg: A New History of the International Military Tribunal after World War II
Join the Wilson Center for an online discussion of Francine Hirsch's new book, "Soviet Judgment at Nuremberg: A New History of the International Military Tribunal After World War II."
Organized in the wake of World War Two by the victorious Allies, the Nuremberg Trials were intended to hold the Nazis to account for their crimes and to restore a sense of justice to a world devastated by violence. As Francine Hirsch reveals in her groundbreaking new book, a major piece of the Nuremberg story has routinely been left out: the critical role of the Soviet Union. Soviet Judgment at Nuremberg offers a startlingly new view of the International Military Tribunal and a fresh perspective on the movement for international human rights that it helped launch.
