The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals held by Allied forces after World War II to prosecute prominent members of the Nazi leadership for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against peace. They established the legal precedent that individuals can be held accountable for crimes against humanity.

The Holocaust was the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime between 1941 and 1945, along with millions of others including Roma, disabled people, political opponents, and LGBTQ individuals. It remains the most documented genocide in history.
