A two-day series of educational programs and discussions titled “The Legacy of Nuremberg,” will take place Wednesday and Thursday, March 29-30, at various Chicago locations.

Sponsored by the Chicago Bar Association, Chicago Public Library and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, the presentations commemorate events of 60 years ago that led to the end of World War II in Europe.

Nuremberg, where German war criminals were brought to justice, is the city where laws were passed to exterminate 10 million Jews, Poles, dissidents, the mentally ill and other victims of Nazi brutality.
