caption_attribution_description: English: Philipp Auerbach (1906-1952) is sworn in as a prosecution witness during the Ministries Trial. He testified about his imprisonment in Auschwitz concentration camp
context_page_description: The subsequent Nuremberg trials were a series of twelve military tribunals for war crimes against members of the leadership of Nazi Germany, lasting from December 1946 to April 1949. They differed from the first trial in that they were conducted before U.S. military courts rather than the international courts that decided the future of the major Nazi leaders. These trials dealt with German industrialists accused of using slave labor and plundering occupied countries, and high-ranking army officers accused of atrocities against prisoners of war. The subsequent trials were held in the same location, at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg.
context_section_description: The subsequent Nuremberg trials (formally the Trials of War Criminals before the Nuremberg Military Tribunals) were a series of twelve military tribunals for war crimes against members of the leadership of Nazi Germany, lasting from December 1946 to April 1949. They differed from the first trial in that they were conducted before U.S. military courts rather than the international courts that decided the future of the major Nazi leaders (the reason for the change being the growing differences between the four Allied powers). These trials dealt with German industrialists accused of using slave labor and plundering occupied countries, and high-ranking army officers accused of atrocities against prisoners of war. The subsequent trials were held in the same location, at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg.
