The Memorium Nürnberger Prozesse documents the International Military Tribunal of 1945–46, in which the Allied powers tried 24 senior Nazi officials for crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The trials established the legal framework under which genocide and crimes against humanity are prosecuted to this day. The museum occupies the top floor of the Palace of Justice, directly above Courtroom 600, which visitors can enter when the court is not sitting.
The exhibition is thorough and unflinching: original footage, transcripts, and artefacts including the defendants' dock and the translation booths where simultaneous interpretation — a technology developed for the trials — was used for the first time in a courtroom. Entry includes an audio guide. The museum is located at Bärenschanzstraße 72, a short tram ride from the old town.
