Justice at   Nuremberg
“ The privilege of opening the first trial in history for crimes against the peace of the world imposes a great responsibility.  The four great nations flushed with victory and stung with injury, stay the hand of vengeance and voluntarily submit their captive enemies to the judgment of the law. The crimes which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating, that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored, because it cannot survive their being repeated.” Justice Robert Jackson,  Chief Prosecutor for the United States

“ [Germany] allowed itself to be robbed of its conscience and its very soul.  Evil masters came who awakened its primitive passions and made possible the atrocities which I have described to you.  In truth, the crime of these men is that they caused the German people to retrogress more than 12 centuries. -  French prosecutor, Charles Dubost
