As a legal learner, I am well aware of my shallowness, so this article only talks about my views on the Nuremberg Trials from my simple legal view as an ordinary person. As a famous trial in history, the Nuremberg Trial represents a complex and far-reaching significance. Through the movie The Nuremberg Trials, I also have a deeper understanding and experience of this trial. The Nuremberg Trial, which tried German judges during World War II, is also the reason for the complexity of this trial. And the judge finally convicted several German judges of the defendant, I agree. In the film, the prosecutor tried several cases to prove the defendant's guilt, but they were all refuted by the defendant's lawyer. Although I don't agree with what he did, I still admire his professionalism. But these few cases are actually not important. The focus of the entire trial is to convict the Jews and whether the group of judges who indirectly acted as Hitler's accomplices is guilty. The defendants' lawyers maintain that they are not guilty, that they are merely carrying out orders for patriotic reasons, and that they do not know about the massacre. But is this reason convincing? If you try a German in World War II, he may be innocent, but trying a judge in Germany in World War II, a judge who enforced the genocide bill, a judge who sentenced innocent Jews, I think most people think he is Guilty, no other - from a naive view of the law. Just imagine, as the only thing in a civilized society that can legally deprive a person of life, if the judge in charge of it fails, it will be a disaster. Although Hitler wrote the racial discrimination bill, and genocide was done by politicians, can this offset the inaction of judges and jurists? The defendant's lawyer said that the vast majority of Germans did not know about the massacre and genocide. Although the prosecution brutally believes that the whole of Germany is guilty, it is undoubtedly unrealistic and unfair to try all Germans. I didn't study the history of WWII in depth, and I don't know if most Germans didn't know that those atrocities existed, but from the perspective of an ordinary person, from the perspective of a country that also suffered from fascist atrocities, I am not It is believed that most Germans do not know that these atrocities exist. Although the atrocities are largely blamed on Hitler, it cannot be assumed that the accomplices are not guilty, and therefore, the judges cannot be considered innocent. Just think, if the judge finally acquitted them, why? Just relying on "the law is not retroactive"? Just because "the United States has no jurisdiction"? Just relying on "Evil law is also law? Or Because they just obey orders? If so, who will atone for the millions of Jews who were slaughtered? Hitler? I don't think he's enough by himself. In short, from an ordinary person's point of view, I agree with the judge's final sentence. The judges on trial are different from the German soldiers who carried out the orders. They know the law and understand the law, but they turn a blind eye to Hitler's racially discriminatory bills and act as accomplices of genocide. They are shameful and destined to be nailed to history. On the Pillar of Shame! The reason why the Nuremberg Trial is so controversial is whether the United States has the right to try German judges, whether to abide by the evil laws, and whether the law can be retroactive to judge their past sins... In fact, only from a legal point of view, this time It is true that the trial is not justified, and the procedure is unreasonable, but can things be considered only from this aspect? What is the meaning of the law? My knowledge is shallow and I dare not speak falsely. But I know that Marx said that the law is the meaning of the ruling class. In a democratic country, the ruling class is naturally the people. What do the people want the law for? I think the expectations of the broadest masses of the people are fairness and justice. And the result of the Nuremberg trial, I think, is in line with fairness and justice, and is in line with the expectations of an ordinary person. I can't blame the German judges for what they did, but it reminds me of our ancient historians, who justly recorded everything that happened, they didn't serve the emperor, they served the people and history. If one day, I can also become a lawyer, I hope my heart will always be filled with a sense of justice! The law is complex and sometimes simple, people do not understand the law, but they want the law to be what they imagine it to be... Little knowledge, dare not speak falsely.
