Darien Library to host a series of lectures commemorating 75th anniversary of Nuremberg Trials

Trial of the Century: Nuremberg

Darien Library is hosting a series of lectures commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials. In the first of this four-week series, Mark Albertson will share the historical aspects and backdrop for the trials, beginning with the 1914-1918 chapter of the Great War, then delving into the issue of collective guilt as brought forth by its resolution and how this was a mistake that the supporters of the Nuremberg Trials sought to avoid nearly 30 years later. He will also answer audience questions during this virtual event beginning Monday, January 11 at 3 p.m.
