On September 30th, 1946, 22 Nazi leaders were found guilty of war crimes at Nuremburg. This was a very landmark day because although Hitler had already committed suicide before he could be tried for the events of the Holocaust, his colleagues were tried at Nuremburg and punished severely for all of the gore, turmoil, sorrow, and fear they played a part in causing at this time.
This day was extremely important because it was bringing justice to destructive and villainous people who caused so much horror and heartache for the world. This event does not particularly pertain to me because I am not Jewish, nor is anyone down my family line, but it did financially affect my grandparents and their families due to war costs and family members leaving for war, so their mothers had to go to work to provide at least one income for the family while their father was gone. It had a huge effect to the world and more specifically the Jewish community because it finally brought peace to them because they no longer had to live in fear that their lives could be taken at any moment because of their ethnicity, religion, and heritage.
September 30th, 1946 is a day that changed the atmosphere of the world and will be remembered for many years.
