The Nuremburg Trials were held from 1945-1949. It was where allied troops set up military courts. They prosecuted mamberd of the political, military, and economic leadership of Nazi Germany. The location of these trials were in Nuremberg, Germany and the mani trials were held from November 29, 1945 to October 1, 1946. The best known trial and the first trial made was the Trial of the Major War criminals. The trial was set up to try to capture 24 of the most important leaders in Germany (Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, and Joseph Goebbles), but by the time they got to them they were all dead because they commited suicide.
The main target in this picture is the guy way to the left in the first row. He was considered to be the most important official in the Third Reich afer Hitler's death. His name is Hernman Goring.
The Nuremburg Race Laws were a different story though. It took away the rights of German Jewish citizens.Told Jews that they could only marry other Jews and they couldn't marry an Aryan or have any relationship with an Aryan. Jews also couldn't hire Aryan women to do house work for them. In Hitler's eyes and Aryan ina blond-haired, blue-eyed person with German Heritage. The first two laws made were: "The Law for the Protection of Germn Blood and Germna Honor" (not including Jewish marriages) and "Thereich Citizenship Law". Some other laws that followed were: "The Law for the Protection of the Genetic Health of the German People"- this is required for everybody who plans to get married and have a medical examination. the "Cerificate of Fitness to Marry"- People were given a certificate to tell them if they didin't/ did have a disease and that certificate was allowed to get married.
Nuremberg Laws List
The Japanese Internment Camps during WWII were made because FDR signed the Executive Order 9066. The Executive Order 9066 ordered a round-up of 120,000 Japanese Americans and put them into Internment camps. These internment camps were located in California, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, and Arkansas. They were mainly made because after Pearl Harbor all of the people went crazy and anti-Japanese.
Japanese-American Internment Camp located in Tule Lake, California.
