The original Nuremberg Laws — signed by Hitler in 1935 — were accessioned to the National Archives from the Huntington Library on August 25, 2010. This Inside the Vaults video short tells the story of the infamous document's journey to the National Archives from Gen. George S. Patton Jr.'s possession. The general had deposited the documents at the Huntington Library in California in 1945.
Held for the purpose of bringing Nazi war criminals to justice, the Nuremberg trials were a series of 13 trials carried out in Nuremberg, Germany, between 1945 and 1949. The defendants, who included Nazi Party officials and high-ranking military officers along with German industrialists, lawyers and doctors, were indicted on such charges as crimes against peace and crimes against humanity.
The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. Holocaust is a word of Greek origin meaning “sacrifice by fire.” The Nazis, who came to power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were “racially superior” and that the Jews, deemed “inferior,” were an alien threat to the so-called German racial community.
