(Toronto – April 5, 2010) Toronto Jewish Film Festival is honoured to present the North American Premiere of
Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today (1948) [The 2009 Schulberg/Waletzky Restoration] , which has been meticulously
and painstakingly restored by Sandra Schulberg and Josh Waletzky. It was written and directed by Stuart Schulberg
(Budd Schulberg’s brother) and released in Germany during 1948/49. But it was never released to American theatres,
a decision that proved controversial at the time.
Nuremberg illustrates how the international prosecutors built their case against the top Nazi war criminals during one
of the greatest courtroom dramas in history. The movie is invaluable as an historical document of the Nazi rise to power
and Hitler’s strategy during WWII, and startlingly relevant in depicting the trial’s establishment of the “Nuremberg principles,”
the foundation for all subsequent trials for crimes against humanity. Nuremberg also presents irrefutable proof that the Jews
were Hitler’s primary intended victims.
“Nuremberg is an incredible piece of cinematic history,” states Sandra Schulberg, “ and our restoration allows you to hear the
American, British, French and Russian prosecutors, as well as the Nazi defendants and their defense attorneys – all speaking
in their own voices. You feel you are in the courtroom.”
It is riveting… extraordinarily powerful….and not-to-be missed.
