The Nuremberg Trials were a set of judicial processes conducted after World War II to prosecute Nazi leaders and other individuals responsible for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. These trials took place in the city of Nuremberg, Germany, between 1945 and 1946. The trials were set up by the Allies (the United States, the United Kingdom, France and the Soviet Union) with the aim of holding Nazi leaders accountable for their atrocities during the war, including the Holocaust and other crimes committed against millions of people. The aim of this research is to describe through a descriptive-qualitative mythology the impact that these trials had after the Second World War.
