Join the San Antonio Public Library and Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio for the closing program of Holocaust: Learn and Remember. This is the 14th year of this month-long program focusing on the history of the Holocaust and lessons learned from this time period.
On January 27, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Dr. Isaac Amon, legal historian, Lecturer in Law, and former ISIS war crimes investigator, will explore the legacy of the first international prosecution of Nazi leaders after the Holocaust. Drawing on courtroom testimony, selected archival footage, and his visits to sites such as Auschwitz, Treblinka, and the historic Nuremberg courtroom, Dr. Amon will examine how judgment at Nuremberg 80 years ago established a permanent historical record of the Holocaust, gave voice to survivors, and affirmed that even the most powerful can be held accountable.
