Final Solution: Where Jews from all over Europe were moved into death camps to be either worked to death or killed straight away. In camps such as Auschwitz, the people were killed through methods like gassing in ovens. However, the Nazis never kept a record of the Jews they killed, so we can only estimate the number of deaths. Death camps were constructed for one purpose- the mass murder of Jews.
Nuremberg trials- After Germany lost the war, the allies put all the Nazi leaders (that were still alive) on trail in Nuremberg. The trials were held in Nuremberg because the Nazis had made a set of anti-Jewish laws called the 'Nuremberg laws' so it was fitting that the Nazi leaders would be sentenced here. The Judges were from Britain, France, America and Russia (the Great Alliance) and the maximum sentence they could impose was death. 20 leaders were put on trail; all pleaded 'not guilty'.

The first and best known of these trials was the Trial of the Major War Criminals before the International Military Tribunal (IMT), which tried 24 of the most important captured leaders of Nazi Germany, though several key architects of the war (such as Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, and Joseph Goebbels) had committed suicide before the trials began.The initial trials were held from November 20, 1945 to October 1, 1946. The second set of trials of lesser war criminals was conducted under Control Council Law No. 10 at the US Nuremberg Military Tribunals (NMT); among them included the Doctors' Trial and the Judges' Trial.

What was the results of the Nuremberg trials?
The immediate results were the execution of 10 defendants in Oct 1946. Herman Goering cheated the executioner, by swallowing a cyanide capsule 1 hour before his execution. The Russians were so angry upon hearing of his suicide, that they rush to his cell and one of them slapped his face to make sure he was dead! The Nuremberg Trials were the first trials ever to prosecute war crimes and crimes against humanity by the defeated perpetrators. No longer could people resonsible for starting wars and committing atrocities, use the excuse that they were only following orders. The trial lasted about a year and was extremely fair to the defendents. They were provided the best legal representation and were able to call witness just like in the United States! Nobody could ever accuse "with the victors come the spoils"! The legal framework and the improvements made during the course of the trial, led to many reforms in international law. The International Court at The Hague, in the Netherlands, was established as a result of the Nuremberg Trials.

Trials of war criminals after World War 2?
During the Nuremberg Trials, 11 of the highest Nazi officials were charged with "crimes against humanity" - literally a charge made up by other governments because no available law could describe the atrocities they had committed. 7 were convicted and sentenced to death. The night before his execution, Hermann Goring committed suicide. 3 of the 6 were killed by firing squad, and the other 3 were hung. After they were killed and pronounced dead, they were loaded on to boxcars and taken to Dachau, the very first German concentration camp. Their bodies were forced into the hideous crematoriums they had ordered so many innocents into, and they were burnt to ash. Their ashes were thrown in a nearby river so as to prevent anyone from ever making a memorial to these monsters.

Why was the atrocities committed by the Japan in World War 2 not tried by international court?
Actually both the Japanese and the Nazis were subject to war-crimes trials at the end of World War 2. These were the "Tokyo Trials" and the "Nuremberg Trials", respectively. These trials were never international courts of law, but military tribunals that were formed by the victorious Allied nations after the war's end. The presiding judges were all military officers from those victorious nations. Generally, non-Asians tend to ignore the Tokyo Trials simply because the Nuremberg Trials got more press at the time. Some of the reasons include greater familiarity with the Nazi war criminals compared to the Japanese war criminals (a common condition within the United States) and a greater identification with, and condemnation of, the Holocaust among non-Asians (which constituted the bulk of the victorious nations. An even simpler reason is that the Nuremberg Trials started first in November of 1945. The Tokyo Trials did not start until April of 1946, about six months after Nuremberg. But perhaps the greatest reason that Nuremberg Trials are more well known the Tokyo Trials is because of controversy. Unlike the Holocaust and the Nuremberg Trials, which more or less remained mainstream topics (or something very close to it) from the end of the war onward, the subject of Japanese War Crimes was turned into a fringe topic for the next thirty to forty years. Even in Japan it was rarely discussed and even when it was, it was considered a fringe subject, not entirely unlike debates regarding UFOs or the paranormal. However, recently the whole subject has been going under some very serious re-evaluation which has in turn raised its media profile. Whether this renewed attention and controversy raises the Tokyo Trials (and the trials that followed it) to the same level as Nuremberg remains to be seen.
