About the artifacts
Convened in Nuremberg, Germany, in the fall of 1945 by the Allied powers, the International Military Tribunal tried and convicted Nazi defendants for their heinous crimes perpetrated during the Holocaust. Tickets to the public for the courtroom sessions, as well as sketches of the proceedings, reflect the Allies’ intent that a thorough, public trial of Nazi crimes would stand, in and of itself, as enduring evidence of the Holocaust.
Gifts to the Museum (and their donors): Stars and Stripes sketch of defendants Wilhelm Keitel and Rudolf Hess (Sheila C. Johnson) and fountain pen used by the courtroom sketch artist Edward Vebell (Edward Vebell); headphones worn by Wilhelm Keitel (IBM Corporation); ticket to Nuremburg war crimes trial (Mira Wallerstein); tribunal pass (Elizabeth Durkee); and scrapbook (Peter Klappert).
