In and after World War II, numerous trials took place in military and in civil courts on both sides of the conflict. As few trials of a legitimate sort took place in relation to the Holocaust while the war was ongoing, it is the Nuremberg Trials after the war that are rightly considered to be most famous -- and important. Taking in place in 1945 and 1946, these trials brought numerous Nazis and other Germans to court for their participation in war crimes and other wrongdoings, such as the Holocaust genocide.

A number of war criminals were separately tried by the British, French and Russians on their own soil, or at least at different venues than Nuremberg, such as the trial of Concentration camp commandant Amon Goeth, which was held in Poland, as was his execution, and the Belsen trials, held by the British in Luneberg, the city closest to the Bergen Belsen camp
