In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the major Nuremberg trial, this CLE program examines the International Military Tribunal (IMT) of 1945-1946 and the subsequent Nuremberg trials that documented the Holocaust through an unprecedented evidentiary record and laid the foundation for prosecuting atrocity crimes. Our speaker will explores the Doctors’, Judges’, and Einsatzgruppen Trials, Raphael Lemkin’s development of the term “genocide,” and the enduring relevance of Nuremberg’s legacy for the 21st century.
Our presenter is Isaac Amon. Dr. Isaac Amon, J.D., LL.M., J.S.D., is an attorney, legal scholar, and Lecturer in Law at Washington University School of Law in St. Louis. He also serves as Executive Director & Scholar-in-Chief of the Sinai Legal Association for Memory and Modernity (SLAMM) and has held roles as a Legal Fellow at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague, Legislative Director at the Missouri Department of Corrections, and an ISIS war crimes investigator. Named a 2025 Fellow at the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism, his research, writing, and lectures focus on legal history and Jewish memory, particularly antisemitism, the Inquisition, and the Holocaust.
