Judgment at Nuremberg is a 1961 American drama film – Each defendant had chosen allegiance to their country over allegiance to what they knew was right and wrong.

The United States Supreme Court – “We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins … the judiciary at this point in the development of man’s knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer.” If they had refused to deny justice to the only product of a human male and a human female, that is a human being it would have made a difference. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_at_Nuremberg
The film’s events relate principally to actions committed by the German state against its own racial, social, religious, and eugenic groupings within its borders “in the name of the law” (from the prosecution’s opening statement in the film), that began with Hitler’s rise to power in 1933. The plot development and thematic treatment question the legitimacy of the social, political and alleged legal foundations of these actions.
The real Judges’ Trial focused on 16 judges and prosecutors who served before and during the Nazi regime in Germany and who either passively, actively, or in a combination of both, embraced and enforced laws that led to judicial acts of sexual sterilization and to the imprisonment and execution of people for their religions, racial or ethnic identities, political beliefs and physical handicaps or disabilities.
