Interesting timing - Harvard to Post Nuremberg Trial Documents

[T Roosevelt]

The multimillion-dollar project is the most ambitious effort to date to post Nuremberg documents on the Internet, said Harry Martin, a Harvard Law professor and head librarian at the Cambridge-based school.

He said the materials would be useful to legal scholars and would provide a stark reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust.
