Aftermath

The wrongs that 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, American Chief Prosecutor

Pursuing Justice

Although Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels committed suicide before the war ended, the Allies agreed to hold trials for the other major Nazi war criminals.  The Nuremberg Trials encompassed two sets of trials: the International Military Tribunal (IMT) for the major Nazi war criminals from November 20, 1945 to October 1, 1946 and twelve subsequent trials for those not tried at IMT, from December 9, 1946 to April 13, 1949.  The IMT set a precedent for the subsequent trials as well as for the hundreds of trials held since 1945 for war criminals.
