 It is May of 1945 and Germany stands ruined and defeated after the unconditional surrender to the Allies. However, Hitler lies dead in his Berlin bunker by suicide and the world calls out for justice. In an attempt to bring reconciliation to the crime that was Nazi Germany, American Justice Robert Jackson establishes an International War Crimes Tribunal at Nuremburg. The first of several such trials, the court will hear cases on two dozen leaders of the Nazi Party and the German military. "Nuremberg" tells this story with points of view from Justice Jackson as well as the unrepentant Hermann Goring and also Albert Speer; one of the very few who admitted to the terrible crimes in which he was a part.
