This year commemorates the 80th anniversary of the
notorious Nuremberg Laws, the Nazi racist enactments that formed the
legal basis for the Holocaust. Ironically, it also marks the 70th
anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials, which provided the legal basis for
prosecuting the Nazi war criminals who murdered millions of Jews and
others following the enactment of the Nuremberg Laws.
There is little dispute about the evil of the Nuremberg Laws. As
Justice Robert H. Jackson, who was America's chief prosecutor at the
Nuremberg Trials, put it: "The most odious of all oppressions are those
which mask as justice."
