The Legacy of the Nuremberg Trials
In the 21st Century
April 28-30, 2011
A Collaboration between Temple Beth El of Boca Raton and Lynn University
“The greatest tribute we can pay to the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust and similar tragedies is never to stop trying to make this a more humane and peaceful world.”
-Benjamin B. Ferencz, Prosecutor at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial
The German city of Nuremberg serves as bookends to significant events of the Holocaust. It is the place where Hitler’s anti-Semitic laws were announced in 1933 and it is the place where the Nazis were tried at the end of World War II. The Nuremberg trials prosecuted more than 200 Nazi Germany leaders post World War II. Lynn University Library is home to a set of 42 original volumes of the Nuremberg trials. Through study, worship, criminal justice, drama and film we will bring these original Nuremberg documents to life and examine their impact in the 21st Century.

LIST OF EVENTS

7:00-9:00 PM
Movie and Dessert Reception
With Producer Sandra Schulberg
Wold Performing Arts Center at Lynn University
$10 per person/Valet parking available
The movie Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today depicts the most famous courtroom drama in modern times, and the first to make extensive use of film as evidence. The movie follows the structure of the trial, using the four counts of the indictment as its organizing principle. While much of the film is set in the courtroom, Nuremberg reconstructs the prosecution’s case and rebuts the defendants’ assertions by relying on the Nazis’ own films. Nuremberg therefore cuts back and forth to these films. Sandra Schulberg is an accomplished producer, whose father was part of the original movie shown in Germany and ultimately hidden by the American government. In the spring of 2006, Schulberg received a grant from the Righteous Persons Foundation to research and write a book with her uncle, Budd Schulberg, about the hunt for Nazi film and photo evidence that was used at the Nuremberg trial.
