Stanford Digitizes Thousands
of Pages of Nuremberg Trial
Documents, Available to Public
Stanford University digitized thou-
sands of pages and documents from
the International Military Tribunal at
A view of the proceedings at the
Nuremberg, which followed the defeat
Nuremberg Trials held in Germany
of the Nazis and the end of World War II
between 1945 and 1949
in 1945, JNS.org reported.

The archive is a collaboration with the library of the International Court of
Justice in The Hague. It relied on funding from Taube Philanthropies and catalog-
ing assistance from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

“The idea is to present to the public, without any cost, information that is
directly derived from these trials, directly derived from the prosecution of people
who have committed crimes against humanity,” Michael Keller, a librarian at
Stanford, told NBC’s Bay Area affi liate.

The Taube Archive of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, 1945-’46,
includes a digital version of Nuremberg courtroom proceedings, fi lms, audio
recordings of the proceedings and about 250,000 pages of digitized English,
French, German and Russian documents, according to its website.

The more than 9,900 items — searchable and viewable in digital form — include
“evidence exhibits fi led by the prosecution and the defense” and “documents of
the Committee for the Investigation and Prosecution of Major War Criminals,” as
well as the judgment.

Greece Arrests 2 Men Suspected of Planning Attacks on Jewish
Sites in Athens
Greek authorities arrested two men on March 28 who were planning mass terror-
ist attacks on Jewish sites in Athens, including a Chabad outpost and a Jewish
restaurant, JTA.org reported.

The Mossad, Israel’s spy agency which contributed to the investigation, told
the Associated Press that the men, who are Pakistani nationals, are also part
of an Iranian terror network. A third man is wanted for questioning. The group
reportedly entered Greece from Turkey illegally four months ago.

“After the investigation of the suspects began in Greece, Mossad assisted in
unraveling intelligence of the infrastructure, the methods of operation, and the
connection to Iran,” the Israeli agency said in a statement.

In Greece, home to between 2,000 and 3,000 Jews, the attacks were believed
to be imminent, offi cials said, noting that the suspects “had received fi nal instruc-
tions” to carry them out. Police searched for the suspects in Athens, southern
Greece and the island of Zakynthos.
