“Laurie Pasler and the Descendants Media Group have gathered a remarkable collection of documents, photographs, and other evidence of the everyday life during the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal, the trial to mark the turn toward human rights and the judicial prosecution of war crimes.
To my knowledge, this is the first attempt to look beyond the central stage of the trial and convey the experience of individual troopers, officers, doctors, and judges.
This meticulous collection synthesizes objects with testimonies from behind the scenes to tell the quotidian story of life on the ground, offering an invaluable insight to researchers, educators, and the general public.”
