Memory of the World: Exhibition "Nuremberg. The Last Battle of World War II" presented in Moscow

The exhibition "Nuremberg. The Last Battle of World War II" was launched at the Main Military Prosecutor's Office in Moscow. Its creator is the Krasnogorsk branch of the Victory Museum. The project marks the 75th anniversary of the end of the Nuremberg trials.

"The exposition tells how Nazism was born, and how this ideology led Germany to collapse and complete defeat. It highlights the preparation of the Nuremberg trials, international meetings and conferences, the first trials in the USSR against the Nazis and their accomplices", said Margarita Ivaschenko, head of the Krasnogorsk branch of the Victory Museum.

Visitors will learn about the policy of genocide of the Slavic peoples in the occupied territories, atrocities against civilians, including women and children, and the fate of Soviet prisoners of war.

Also, the exhibition will show the military career of Paulus, who passed the way from one of the developers of the Barbarossa plan to the contrite prisoner of war. During the Nuremberg trials, Paulus revealed Germany's preparation for war against the Soviet Union.

Photographs from the collection of the Victory Museum and its Krasnogorsk branch will help to see the process through the eyes of its participants. Some of the pictures will be showcased for the first time, as well as the works by the artist Nikolai Zhukov from The Nuremberg Trials series.
