INTRODUCTION:
We
have seen and read a lot about the Holocaust in the past three weeks. We have learned of the genocide of a race,
we have learned about people who were not Jews that risked their life to save
others, we learned about the great German power that overtook half a
continent. How did this all end? Today we are going to watch a movie that
ended the Holocaust. It is called
Nuremberg.
