Abstract

This paper examines how the United States (US) approached the law and executed the Einsatzgruppen Trial, one of the twelve military trials held by the United States Authorities at Nuremburg, Germany. The purpose of this research is to analyze the approach the Americans took when conducting the trial. Aspects examined will be who was on trial, why were they on trial or what were they being tried for, and what was their sentence. To conduct this research, I will be extracting data and information from peer reviewed journals, memoirs, transcripts from trials, newspapers, video documentaries, and data from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. In end, this research will show how the United States carried out and executed the justice system during the Einsatzgruppen Trial. It will also show who was tried, why they were tried, and what sentence they received. By executing this research, further research can be done by examining other Nuremburg Trials and comparing the similarities and differences between.
