A Visit to the Nuremberg Trials Museum

A law librarian here has returned this week from a vacation in Germany, where, not surprisingly, she included courthouses, libraries, and museums on the itinerary. We're pleased to share some of her photos of the Memorium Nuremberg Trials Museum. She notes that Robert H. Jackson was discussed several times in the museum, and they had a tape running with his opening statement at the International Military Tribunal.

Some good background can be found in this article from an American newspaper covering the museum's opening in 2010.
