Originally produced on television in 1957, made into an Academy Award-winning film in 1961, then adapted for the stage, premiering on Broadway in 2001, JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG not only brought some of the worst Nazi atrocities to public attention, but has become one of the twentieth centurys most important records of the Holocaust.In the play, Manns compassion strikes at the heart of human suffering, and JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG remains a play that unfortunately is as potent and relevant as ever. The plays achievement has been to reaffirm humanity and justice in the wake of unspeakable evil.
