Frankfurt Auschwitz Trials, War crimes trial in Germany

The Frankfurt Auschwitz Trials were a series of hearings against 22 defendants accused of Nazi war crimes.

Conducted from 1963 to 1965, the trials marked a pivotal moment in confronting the atrocities of the Holocaust.

These trials had a significant impact on the German public's awareness and acknowledgment of the Holocaust.

The courthouse is located in Frankfurt, where historic proceedings took place.

Unlike the earlier Nuremberg Trials, the Frankfurt Trials prosecuted lower-level officials of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
