Proces Neurenberg, Bestanddeelnr 901-1899. The International Military Tribunal (IMT)

This is an attempt to see World War 2 through the eyes of people who lived or fought on the territories controlled by the Axis powers, originally the Rome–Berlin Axis. Axis' principal members in Europe were Nazi Germany, the Kingdom of Italy, Hungary, and Spain. During World War II, Nazi Germany and Axis powers occupied or controlled a number of countries in Europe and beyond. At its zenith in 1942, the Axis presided over large parts of Europe, North Africa, and East Asia, either through occupation, annexation, or puppet states.

The Eichmann Trial refers to the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a high-ranking Nazi official who played a key role in the implementation of the Holocaust during World War II. Eichmann was responsible for organising the deportation and extermination of millions of Jews in Nazi concentration camps. After the end of the Second World War, Eichmann managed to flee Europe and live under a false identity in Argentina. In 1960, however, Israeli intelligence agents captured him and brought him to Israel to stand trial for his crimes. The trial took place in Jerusalem in 1961 and lasted several months. It was one of the first trials to be televised internationally and attracted worldwide attention. The trial was presided over by a panel of three judges, and Eichmann was represented by a defence team. During the trial, Eichmann claimed that he was only following orders and was not personally responsible for the atrocities committed. However, numerous witnesses testified against him, giving detailed accounts of his involvement in the Holocaust. Survivors of the concentration camps also gave emotional testimony about their experiences. In the end, Eichmann was found guilty of multiple charges, including crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes against the Jewish people. He was sentenced to death by hanging, which was carried out on 31 May 1962. The Eichmann trial had a significant impact on public opinion and awareness of the Holocaust. It also played a crucial role in bringing many Nazi war criminals to justice and establishing the principle of individual accountability for mass atrocities.

The Nuremberg Trials, also known as the Nuremberg process, were a series of trials held in Nuremberg, Germany, from 1945 to 1946, in which leaders of Nazi Germany were prosecuted for war crimes, crimes against peace, and crimes against humanity. The Nuremberg process was initiated by the Allied powers after the end of World War II, with the goal of bringing the major perpetrators of the war to justice. The trials were conducted by the International Military Tribunal (IMT), which was composed of judges from the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. The International Military Tribunal (IMT), composed of judges from the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, was established to try the major war criminals, including top Nazi officials such as Hermann Goering, Rudolf Hess, and Joachim von Ribbentrop. The IMT also established a framework for subsequent trials of lower-ranking Nazis and collaborators. The defendants were charged with crimes such as waging aggressive war, crimes against peace, and crimes against humanity, including genocide and war crimes. The Nuremberg process was significant because it established the principle that individuals, including heads of state, could be held accountable for their actions, even during times of war. It also introduced the concept of crimes against humanity, which refers to acts committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population. The Nuremberg process was not without controversy, with some critics arguing that the trials were biased and that the defendants were denied a fair trial and that it was victor's justice, and that the Allied powers were punishing only the defeated Axis powers while ignoring their own war crimes. However, the trials are generally seen as a landmark in the development of international law and the fight against impunity for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
