Description

The Nuremberg Diary is a chilling study of the Nazi regime's inner workings, based on the firsthand experiences of G. M. Gilbert, a prison psychologist who had unparalleled access to the defendants. In August 1945, a tribunal was established at Nuremberg to try the military and civilian leaders of the Nazi regime. Gilbert's unique position allowed him to observe and question the defendants, gaining insight into their motivations and reactions to the trial proceedings. Through his conversations with the defendants, Gilbert exposed the distorted worldviews of the Nazi leaders, revealing their views on slave labor, death camps, and the Jews, as well as their desperate attempts to dissociate themselves from the Third Reich's defeat and Nazi guilt.
