UNITED SIKHS would like to extend to you the following invitation from the United Nations University Office in New York:

On behalf of the United Nations University Office in New York, we are writing to invite you to attend the first part of the UNU-ONY Series on global history in pictures. At this initial session, UNU-ONY is presenting the documentary, NUREMBERG: THE NAZIS FACING THEIR CRIMES, directed by the film maker Christian Delage. The film screening is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 4 December 2007, from 6:15pm to 8:30pm, in Conference Room 3, UN Headquarters, New York.

NUREMBERG: THE NAZIS FACING THEIR CRIMES offers a condensed version of the chilling International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, Germany, with extraordinary close-up stories of this historical trial that have never before been seen. The famous film maker Christian Delage tells the story of the Holocaust, while simultaneously examining how reproduced images affect the writing of history. The documentary presents contemporary interviews with survivors and former prosecutors, combined with unique courtroom footage shot by camera crews assembled for the US authorities by John Ford. NUREMBERG takes viewers from the shattered streets of the city through the events of the trial, revealing a captivating testimony by a female survivor who vividly describe the horrors witnessed at Auschwitz, and an unnerving testimony by the SD leader, responsible for the deaths of 90,000 Jews.

Before the film screening of NUREMBERG: THE NAZIS FACING THEIR CRIMES, Christian Delage, will give a brief presentation of the documentary, followed by the introduction of his guest Benjamin Ferencz. Mr. Ferencz was Chief Prosecutor for the United States in The Einsatzgruppen Case, one of the subsequent trials held at Nuremberg in 1946. In the film he comments the testimony given by Otto Ohlendorf before the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. After the film screening, there will be a discussion moderated by Peter Goodrich, who currently is Professor at the Cardozo School of Law. Mr. Goodrich has written extensively in legal history and theory in the areas of law and literature and semiotics. During the discussion, he will be assisted by Ida Folkesson from the United Nations University Office in New York.
