Nuremberg and his teaching (original title: Nuremberg: its Lesson for Today ) is a commissioned by the Office of Military Government for Germany (US) and by the Information Services Division (ISD), Documentary Department (D1 US) and Zeit im Film from May 1947 to July 1947 produced documentary film by Stuart Schulberg about the Nuremberg trial of the major war criminals . This documentation shows the course of the main war criminals trial before the International Military Tribunal from the opening of the trial on November 14, 1945 to the pronouncement of the judgment on October 1, 1946. The dramaturgy of the film leads chronologically from the transfer of power to the National Socialists , through the triggering of the Second World War by the National Socialist German Reich to the Nazi crimes against humanity and follows the lines of argument of the main prosecutor Robert H. Jackson .
In addition to the film material from the courtroom, the documentation also contains other contemporary recordings. a. Excerpts from the films The Nazi Plan and Nazi Concentration Camps screened during the Major War Crimes Trial are shown that were evidence at the trial. Secured German film material was also used for the film.
The recordings made during the trial of the main war criminals were not only used for Nuremberg and its teaching , but also for the Soviet documentary The Tribunal of the Nations and newsreels. The film Nuremberg and its teaching was accompanied by music and commented on in German.
The film was shown for the first time in Washington on September 27, 1947 , but did not make it to American cinemas , taking into account the Marshall Plan . A version in English was never completed. In Germany, the film was premiered as part of the re- education on November 21, 1948 in Stuttgart (Camera) and on May 31, 1949 in West Berlin ( Berliner Sportpalast ).
Since parts of the original film material and the sound recordings were lost or severely damaged over time, the daughter of Stuart Schulberg, the American film producer Sandra Schulberg, restored the film, which was completed in 2009, together with Josh Waletzky. This restored version was shown at the Berlinale 2010 .
The film historian Ronny Loewy , who headed the database project Cinematography of the Holocaust , described Nuremberg and its teaching as one of the most important contemporary historical materials on the process and history of National Socialism.
