The Nuremberg Trials brought the surviving leaders of the Third Reich to justice, but they also posed a deeper question. How could ordinary men commit such extraordinary crimes? Joining Phil Craig on the Aspects of History podcast is historian Helen Fry discussing Nuremberg: The Translator's Tale published by Yale University Press.
Her new book tells the fascinating story of Howard Triest, a young German-Jewish refugee who returned to Germany as a US Army translator and found himself interviewing the very men responsible for the regime that had murdered his parents. His is a story of justice, memory, and the attempt to understand the architects of evil at the heart of the Nazi regime.
