The Nuremberg Trials. Dir. and prod. by Michael Kloft. wgbh Educational Foundation, 2006. 60 mins. (pbs Video, 1320 Braddock Place, Alexandria, VA 22314; 800-531-4727; http://www.shoppbs.org/)

This program in the pbs series American Experience deals with the first set of trials of German leaders at the end of World War II, those of twenty-two surviving members of the Nazi elite charged with initiating wars of aggression, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, as well as with conspiring to do all of that. The focus is narrowed to the following: the rationale for, and legal basis of, replacing punishment and vengeance against a defeated enemy with an approximation of justice; the role played in the proceedings by the American chief prosecutor, Associate Justice Robert H. Jackson of the U.S. Supreme Court; and key elements of the trial of the highest-ranking defendant, Hermann Göring.
