Truth on Trial: 80 Years After Nuremberg A Conversation with Natalie Livingstone & Nadav Eyal

Eighty years after the Nuremberg verdicts, historian Natalie Livingstone, author of the Sunday Times bestseller The Nuremberg Women, joins award-winning Israeli journalist Nadav Eyal for a conversation about the Nuremberg Trials, justice after the Holocaust, and their legacy today. The conversation will be moderated by Gavriel Rosenfeld, President of the Center for Jewish History.

Livingstone will discuss the enduring importance of the trials and highlight the vital contributions of the overlooked women - prosecutors, journalists, witnesses, and activists - who helped shape the principles of modern international justice. Eyal will then turn to the present, exploring how those principles and institutions are interpreted and debated today, including their implications for Israel and Jewish communities around the world.

A book signing and light reception will follow the program.
