THE NUREMBERG

LEGACY

How the Nazi War Crimes Trials

Changed the Course of History

Norbert Ehrenfreund

A DDI T IONA L P R A I S E FOR

THE NUREMBERG LEGACY

“In this pertinent, thorough overview, Ehrenfreund revisits the initial

trial and considers its legacy, both as it affected his decision to become a

trial lawyer, and the important precedents it has set in terms of prose-

cuting and checking future crimes against humanity. . . . The author

makes a tremendous case for adhering to the Nuremberg legacy of fair

treatment for even the most odious offenders.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“The Nuremberg Legacy

offers a compelling and original contribution to

our understanding of the ﬁrst international criminal tribunal in history.

Through each passing decade and with each succeeding generation, we

must take greater care to uphold its memory. And Judge Norbert Ehren-

freund reminds us why we should never forget.”

—Professor William Aceves, California Western School of Law,

San Diego

“This book describes the horror of the Nazi genocide, and my life as one

of the

Untermenschen

Hitler sought to exterminate, but what is different

about this work is that Judge Ehrenfreund tells what that experience

means for modern times.”

—Lou Dunst, Holocaust survivor, Auschwitz and

Mauthausen (Ebensee) concentration camps
