Introduction
The Nuremberg Trials Memorial is a site of major historical significance, the venue of the world-famous Nuremberg Trials after WWII, where the international community judged Nazi war criminals, upheld justice and laid the cornerstone of modern international law, a solemn, profound and thought-provoking place. After WWII, to try the major war criminals of Nazi Germany for their crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity (including the horrific atrocities of the Holocaust), the victorious Allies established an international military tribunal in Nuremberg in 1945 to 1946 and held a series of historic trials, the famous Nuremberg Trials. These trials were a landmark in history: the first time the international community formally tried those who launched aggressive war and committed crimes against humanity, establishing the important principle that individuals bear legal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity, laying a key cornerstone for modern international criminal law and human rights protection. The trial was held in Courtroom 600 of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice. Today this historic site is the Nuremberg Trials Memorial: visitors can see the famous Courtroom 600 where the historic trial was held (if no session is in progress), and through the memorial's detailed exhibits (documents, photos, films, artifacts) deeply understand the background, process, meaning and far-reaching impact of the Nuremberg Trials. Visiting the memorial with solemnity and reflection, remembering this history of justice and warning for future generations, is a profound experience.
