The Nuremberg Trials (held for the primary purpose of bringing Nazi war criminals to justice) were a series of 13 trials carried out in Nuremberg, Germany (1945/1949). They were trials of the major war criminals which tried the core military and political leaders of Germany for crimes against humanity.
