The United States, France, Great Britain and the USSR unite to deliver exemplary justice in response to crimes against peace and, for the first time in history, to crimes against humanity. On the accused bench sit 21 of the highest Nazi dignitaries, including Hermann Gring, Rudolph Hess, Joachim von Ribbentrop and Wilhelm Keitel. They all plead not guilty, although the atrocities committed are tremendous. As evidence, films of the liberation of the concentration camps would be screened, an unprecedented move, during the proceedings. Evidence is presented, confrontations arise, testimonies of executioners and victims are heard.

Thus ends the trial that paved the way for the creation of international tribunals.--Container. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=655706 This is the story about the youth of India today.
