(Jewish Group) Stanford releases full digital archive of Nuremberg trials

The images are haunting, yet familiar. Forced labor gangs building barracks, photographed by Germans. Emaciated victims in concentration camps, filmed by American troops. Nazi officials, stiff and formal in their headshots.

As macabre as they are, these Holocaust images were priceless for providing evidence in the Nuremberg war crimes trials that brought Nazi atrocities to the world stage after World War II.

Now the complete body of evidence from the historic tribunal, including reams of court documents, has been digitized and made available to scholars, educators and the public through the Stanford Libraries’ Virtual Tribunals project.

The material in the Taube Archive of the International Military Tribunal (IMT) at Nuremberg, 1945-46 includes filmed footage, still images, full audio recordings, transcripts in multiple languages and about 250,000 pages of digitized documents, including the defendants’ pleadings.
