Introduction and moderation: Andreas Mix

Eighty years ago, the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg handed down its verdicts against the German “principal war criminals.” As the first victim of Germany’s war of aggression, Poland suffered under the terror of Nazi occupation more than almost any other country. Although it was one of the victorious powers of World War II, Poland was not represented as a state at the International Military Tribunal. Nevertheless, Poland played an important role in the Nuremberg Trials: numerous crimes against the Polish population were tried, Polish witnesses testified in court, and a Polish delegation supported the Soviet prosecution.Translated with DeepL
