The Nuremberg Trials.
The Nuremberg trials were post Holocaust.
Nazi leaders were not brought to justice during the Holocaust. That is why there was able to be a Holocaust. The Nazi leaders who survived were brought to trial after the war and the holocaust was ended. This was done by trying them in an international court of law before a panel of judges from the major allied countries.
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.
