Painstakingly restored by Sandra Schulberg and Josh Waletzky, Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today was
widely shown in German cinemas during 1948-49, but the film was withheld from American cinemas by
the U.S. government. The decision proved controversial, as revealed in several investigative news stories
that appeared during the fall of 1949 in major U.S. papers. The English-language version of the film was never
properly completed, and the original picture negative and sound elements were lost or destroyed. One of the
greatest courtroom dramas in history, Nuremberg illustrates how the four Allied prosecution teams built their
case against the top Nazi war criminals during a trial that lasted from November 20, 1945, to October 1, 1946.
The film is an invaluable historical document that traces the Nazi rise to power and Hitler's strategy during
WWII, and is startlingly relevant in depicting the establishment of the Nuremberg principlesâ â" the
foundation for all subsequent trials for crimes against humanity. Nuremberg also presents irrefutable proof
that the Jews were Hitler's primary victims. Much of the footage was found by brothers Stuart and Budd
Schulberg, members of John Ford's special OSS Field Photographic Branch/War Crimes Unit). Nuremberg is
an incredible piece of cinematic history that can now be seen in an international version that, for the first
time, allows you to hear the participants speaking in their own languages.
