Website Spotlight: Nuremberg Trials


Website URL: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/nuremberg/

The parts of this website which I find particularly useful are the following:

I. The Film & More

Further Reading: The section on website links is particularly helpful.

II. Special Features

The "Online Poll" could serve as a discussion starter.

The "We Were There" section highlights day-to-day work.

III. People and Events

Work through the succinct bios and summaries of key events.

As a sometime linguist, I particularly enjoy the "Simultaneous Interpretation" explanation.

IV. Timeline

I appreciate this particular American Experience timeline since it provides not just dates but a sentence or two explanation of each date.

V. Gallery

Check out these dozen photos of Berlin, 1945-1946.

VI. Teacher's Guide

You will come up with your own activities, but these are great to start with.


On my Learning Professor wiki, this website fits within the following U.S. History survey course module:
