The Nuremberg trials

Sixty years ago, on November 20, 1945, the trial of the main officials of the Nazi regime opened in Nuremberg, Germany. Its exceptional nature, its length (nearly twelve months), the number of accused, the horror and the dimension of the crimes committed, led representatives of the world press to follow the ten months of proceedings, recounting the attitudes of the accused, the verbal duels between accused and prosecutors, and the conduct of the debates.
