On November 20, 1945, in Nuremberg, Germany, once prime real estate for torchlit Nazi pageantry, currently reduced to ruins by Allied bombing, the International Military Tribunal, an unprecedented experiment in transnational jurisprudence, convened in the city’s Palace of Justice, one of the few buildings left standing. The four victorious powers — the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union — had hauled the loser, Nazi Germany, before four judges and a global jury to be held accountable for violating a series of recently devised additions to the criminal code — crimes against humanity, crimes against peace, criminal conspiracy, and war crimes.
Twenty-one Nazi leaders were in the dock, defendants whose names most Americans had become familiar with in the years since 1933. The accused included Reich Marshall Herman Göring, Hitler’s brutal second in command; Joachim von Ribbentrop, Minister of Foreign Affairs, who in August 1939 negotiated the pact with the Soviet Union that ignited the conflagration; Rudolf Hess,...

Emmy-winning newswoman and celebrity interviewer Barbara Walters, the doyenne of television news, has died, her publicist confirmed to Variety. She was 93.

Robert H Jackson, a justice of the Us Supreme Court and the chief American prosecutor at the 1945-46 war crimes tribunal, had the brilliant idea of confronting the 22 top Nazis on trial in Nuremberg with newsreels and other evidence of their atrocities and then capturing the proceedings on film. The result was this fair-minded, devastating and unforgettable documentary, completed in 1948, but for political reasons only shown in Germany. This carefully restored version is the first time it's been generally available and is as vital today as it was when Stuart Schulberg, a sergeant in John Ford's Office of Strategic Services film unit, first compiled it.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Stuart Schulberg’s Nuremberg, originally released in 1948, is distinguished as the first documentary made about the Holocaust. While exhibited fairly extensively in Germany as part of the Allied De-Nazification initiative, it received little play elsewhere, and with the U.S. soon enough turning their attention to Cold War concerns, the film became something of an artefact.
Resurrected and restored by Schulberg’s daughter Sandra alongside Josh Waletzky – complete with both a new title and score, as well as strong re-recorded narration provided by Liev Schreiber – Nuremberg remains in its new form a harrowing but important contraction of the key beats which brought about some of World War 2’s most heinous acts.
Beginning with footage of a desolate, restless post-war Europe, Schulberg then transports us to the beginning of the Nuremberg trials, as footage recorded by and confiscated from Nazi soldiers – much of it appearing in this...

A compact, conclusive primer on the criminality and rise of the Nazi party, Nuremberg: Its Lesson For Today, is actually a recovered documentary from 1948 written and directed by the late Stuart Schulberg (brother of Budd, the writer of On The Waterfront) that, though U.S.-sponsored, was never released in this country. Thought lost for many years, Schulberg’s daughter Sandra Schulberg and her fellow documentarian Josh Waletzky have now restored the film using a decent print that they discovered with the help of the German Bundesarchiv (Germany’s National Archive, headquartered in Berlin). Enlisting the vocal talents of actor Liev Schreiber, the narration has been re-recorded, this time in English and the result is an interesting documentary that combines footage of the trial of Hitler’s commanders who survived the war – Hermann Goering, Rudolf Hess, Julius Streicher, etc. with a concise flashback history of the rise and fall of the Nazi Party.

Chicago – In the opening moments of Stuart Schulberg’s invaluable 1948 documentary, “Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today,” shell-shocked men, women and children emerge from the wreckage of what appears to be a post-apocalyptic landscape. A street lamp juts out from the carnage, twisted out of all recognition, much like the human bodies later viewed in the footage.
Rating: 5.0/5.0
The level of barbarism and monstrous inhumanity captured by Schulberg’s lens is simply beyond words. It’s impossible to dissect such vital images with a conventionally critical eye. “Nuremberg” is less a film than an enduring historical record. Moviegoers familiar with dramatizations such as Stanley Kramer’s excellent 1961 ensemble piece, “Judgment at Nuremberg,” will be amazed to see excerpts from the 25 hours of film permitted to be shot of the initial Nuremberg trials, from November 1945 to October 1946.

Nuremberg, the documentary film based on the 1945 World War II Nazi trials in Nuremberg directed by Stuart Schulberg and completed in 1948 is the official document of the 1945 Nuremberg Trial as commissioned by the United States. It's a sin that Nuremberg has never been released until now. Unlike sentimental tear-jerker interpretations most famously the documentaries produced by Steven Spielberg, there is no manipulation here, no tugging on the heartstrings. Schulberg understood that the greatest horrors our world had really ever known did not need any kind of contrived storytelling mechanisms to affect emotion. The film is sparse and relies on the facts and the actual voices of those involved to tell the story. This is actually a practice that Sandra Schulberg, his daughter who oversaw the preparation for its restoration and release this time around and has been a producer for the past three decades, describes as actually a principle that...

Director: Stuart Schulberg Writer(s): Budd Schulberg, Stuart Schulberg Commissioned by Pare Lorentz (head of Film, Theatre & Music at the U.S. War Department’s Civil Affairs Division), Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today was written and directed by Stuart Schulberg (of John Ford’s Office of Strategic Services Field Photographic Branch/War Crimes Unit). Completed in 1948, Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today was never released in U.S. theaters (reportedly in an effort to not distract Americans from their newly found hatred of Communism) but it was shown in Germany as part of the Allies’ de-Nazification campaign.

Toronto -- Film and TV producer Stuart Schulberg's unreleased documentary about the 1946 Nuremberg Nazi trial has received a celluloid face-lift.
Daughter Sandra Schulberg and Josh Waletzky brought their courtroom drama restoration of "Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today" to the Toronto Jewish Film Festival for its North American bow, ahead of a late-September theatrical release in New York City.
Indie producer Schulberg speculates Cold War intrigue likely stopped her father's film from ever being distributed in American theatres after the war. The 78-minute official Nuremberg trial documentary was only screened in Germany in 1948 and 1949 as part of American denazification efforts in that country.
"We're still unraveling this mystery," Schulberg said of the film's post-war suppression in the U.S., which makes this week's Toronto festival screening the first-ever theatrical showing in North America.
