Many people have thought of the Nuremburg Trials as a very controversial topic‚ but I really only see one side to it. In my opinion‚ I believe that the Nuremburg Trials was a good and fair way to bring German military officials to justice.

During WWII‚ the Nazi’s altogether managed to murder over 6 million Jews across Europe‚ so punishing the people who participated in the genocide wouldn’t be

The atrocious ordeals the Jewish people faced by Hitler’s anti-semitic Nazis including the mass genocide of over six million jews from 1941-1945‚ is known today as the Holocaust.
