Excerpts from book, One of Humanity's Darkest Days, the Truth about the Holocaust
Chapter 18 explores the aftermath of World War II, focusing on the pursuit of justice for Nazi war criminals. The Nuremberg Trials, held from November 20, 1945, to October 1, 1946, saw the prosecution of 24 high-ranking Nazis. Key figures included Hermann Göring, who was sentenced to death but committed suicide, and Rudolf Höss, who was tried separately and executed. Additional trials targeted SS officers, doctors, and others involved in the Nazi regime, notably the Doctors' Trial, which focused on unethical medical practices conducted on prisoners. The chapter highlights the capture and trial of Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Holocaust, who was apprehended in Argentina in 1960 and executed in Israel on May 31, 1962.
