The people who had committed the heinous crimes toward the Jews, killing millions of them would be brought to stand and face what they had done. They had to take the consequences of their actions .

The Nuremberg Trials were organized by the Allied powers after WWII under international law and the laws of war. The aim was to bring the prominent leaders of the nazi party to court and to make them respond for their involvement in the Holocaust and other war crimes.

Many people was judged but sometimes these trials had been described as insufficient, because many important nazi leaders, such as Hitler or Goebbels, never faced justice as they either killed themselves or dissapeared.
