Today marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of the first of the Nuremberg Trials, which led to the conviction of 19 of the most influential Nazi leaders. Southampton's collections include books on the trials and papers from the subsequent Nuremberg Military Tribunals.

Contact us to tell us about the wonderful collections you hold!
Do you hold collections that relate to the Holocaust, whether that be its prehistory, its aftermath, or the role of antisemitism before, during and after WWII?

The European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) are keen to hear from you... (1/3)
