Explanation

The prosecution charged Nazi leaders with crimes against peace, such as planning and waging aggressive war, and crimes against humanity, including persecution and mass murder. Witnesses described executions and the brutal, inhumane conditions prisoners endured in the camps. The defendants generally denied responsibility rather than admitting to genocide, and the prosecution did not simply avoid the issue of Nazi anti-Semitism.
