Movie Night at the Jackson Center: Nuremberg Lesson for Today
Advertisement
About the Film:
Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today is a powerful 1948 documentary (runtime ~78 minutes) that chronicles the first major Nuremberg Trials (1945–1946). Directed by Stuart Schulberg (with Pare Lorentz) for the U.S. War Department, the film uses original courtroom footage, archival Nazi records, and the defendants’ own films to build the case against top Nazi leaders. The restoration of the film was completed in 2009 by Sandra Schulberg (Stuart Schulberg’s daughter) and Josh Waletzky, featuring remastered audio, court transcripts, and a newly recorded narration by actor Liev Schreiber.
Viewer Advisory:
The film contains graphic archival footage of wartime atrocities, concentration camps, and courtroom evidence. Some scenes may be disturbing.
Discussion:
After the screening, there will be a facilitated discussion.
