October 15 - Spring 2008

Over 60 years after the Allies established the International Military Tribunal to try Nazi leaders for their roles in the systematic murder of millions of people during the Holocaust and Second World War, the Nuremberg trials stand as a watershed moment in the ongoing pursuit of international justice. The Nuremberg exhibit traces the history of the trials, highlighting their accomplishments, controversies and legacies, and considers human rights issues that demand response and resolve from the international community today.

Classes visiting the exhibit will participate in A Student Mock Trial of Julius Streicher. In 1946 Streicher, the publisher of the virulently anti-Semitic newspaper Der Stürmer, was convicted of "crimes against humanity" for his role in inciting the persecution and murder of Jews through the dissemination of hate propaganda. Using primary source material as evidence, students will reenact Steicher's trial, learning about the Nuremberg tribunals' processes and contemporary significance.
